A fairy garden for Kamala.

"This is something people do around here. There's a name for it, I think, but I've forgotten what it is — if I ever knew" — I wrote, back in 2021. Commenters told me what it is: a "fairy garden."

Here's one that my son Chris found today:

Wokest Tinkerbell ever. I appreciate the coming 48 hours of liberal hysteria. It will make the comedown that much more fun.

I have a fairy garden, it gives me such a lift to see parents stop by with strollers, or see little ones in the neighborhood stooping down to rearrange things. So ya, I have a few fairies, but I also have a grotto where the Virgin Mary is appearing, saints and angels. And a tiny fairy cathedral off in the distance. A little counter culture messaging.

Wonder how many of the wee folk are on the Madison registration rolls. No joke.

A prayer for Abortion and the gal who will deliver it unto you.

At least now we know who's going to pay for the Opportunity Economy.

Control guns, not girls. Enlist boys in the selective service.

The Vault Dweller said...

I always thought of Faeries as trickster characters. I think a fairy would much prefer the unexpectedness, spontaneity, and the chaos of Trump over the boring, fake, plasticness of Kamala.

Glad you're spending time with your son. Enjoy!

Mythical, mystical, fantastical.. apropos. In Stork They Trust.

Dave Begley said...

That's nutty.

AlbertAnonymous said...

Looks like the same spot/tree as the last photo. Question whether the Kamala stuff grew out of the fungus, or whether the fungus grew up among the Kamala shit….

Ukraine flag. Once again, the democrats have become the party of war.

JaimeRoberto said...

How precious.

Chest Rockwell said...

Gaza flag is missing.

Peachy said...

"One Party State" flag is missing.

Mad Anthony Wayne said...

How big is the non-human vote in Wisconsin?

Interested Bystander said...

There are a few of those at our local park in CA. BFD. Comes to mind.

Anyone who knows Celtic folklore (and what they passed down) knows that the wee folk aren't to be trusted. They can be kindly, but also dangerous. Not to be trifled with and they are definitely not on our side. A fine folk to be sure, one must add, lords and ladies all.

Is this a shrine, like leftists did for Obama to pray to like he was a diety?

Tacitus said...

Sorta cute, but does our political life need more infantilization?

Real American said...

This is the real fungus of the day

Everybody sing along...Kamala's a big fat liar...Liar, liar, pants on fire...

Fairy swordfish sunk the Bismark.

Fairy garden?

Maybe it's a hobbit house, though it's suggestive, with the rock path, something like a crypt. Which is appropriate for someone saturated with loony lefty fever.

Future litter

Flat Tire said...

I prefer t he Fungus of the Day.

BarrySanders20 said...

A fairy garden is appropriate since the Greatness of Kamala is a a total fairy tale. I do wonder if the little person who created the political garden earnestly thanks her mother every night before bed for not aborting her. Kind of like a prayer, if they believed in that stuff.

Idle hands are the Devil's workshop, as the adage goes.

Applies to brains, as well.

Enlighten-NewJersey said...

It's funny how some people choose to spend their time. But if they're happy, I'm happy for them. I wonder how they will feel when a rainstorm wrecks the whole thing?

Michael K said...

Biplanes, too !

Jim at said...

I wonder how they will feel when a rainstorm wrecks the whole thing?

They'll blame Trump.

Aggie said...

I wonder what sign the Fairy was born under, and also, I wonder where the 'In This House We Believe :' sign is

William50 said...

I don't know. Seems rather politically mild for Madison to me.

Narr said...

Fairey. Sank. Bismarck.

Has ever an airplane name been cooler than "Stringbag"?

Narr said...

Ya'll crazy.

It's Smurfs.

tcrosse said...

So they evicted the Keebler elves.

stlcdr said...

Hamas would be pleased.

donald said...

Yuge!

Mikey NTH said...

It's better without all the politics. I do like the "treehouse" though, something you would for a small child, and for whimsey.

Mikey NTH said...

The Swordfish slowed Bismarck . Rodney and King George V did the kill.

Mikey NTH said...

Hobbits have round doors.

Harun said...

DO SOMETHING! ANYTHING!

Narr said...

Mikey NTH is my kind of pedant.

Danno said...

My thoughts too. Quite the fungus.

Ralph L said...

IIRC, the plane knocked out her rudder, so the ship couldn't travel straight and escape.

Mark said...

Kamala let them know her name. She's f'ed if you believe the folklore.

1ST QUESTION tomorrow night ,you first mr trump..What specifics are you going to do about CHILDCARE in the US? Answer mr trump" To the pundits and the Republicans who relentlessly decried President Joe Biden’s age, “cognitive decline” and “mental acuity” right up to the day he stepped aside in the presidential race, allow me to unspool a recent quote from 78-year-old GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
He was responding to a question about “what specific piece of legislation” he would advance to make child care more affordable:
“It’s a very important issue. But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I’m talking about, that – because, look, child care is child care. It’s – couldn’t – you know, it’s something – you have to have it. In this country, you have to have it. But when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that I’m talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they’re not used to, but they’ll get used to it very quickly – and it’s not going to stop them from doing business with us but they’ll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country. Those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we’re talking about, including child care. That – it’s going to take care – we’re going to have – I – I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of time, coupled with the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country.” this fella is a goner ,too old and really senile...

Should have miniature migrants afoot.

Without reading the other comments - heh. The "Do something!" makes me laugh.

Narr said...

Damn we good!

Rusty said...

That's quite the cartoon you have there running in your head. Dinky. Dink Dau means crazy in Vietnamese. Beau coup apt for you.

Joe Bar said...

Fairey made some interesting aircraft. Gannet, Albacore, Rotodyne and Barracuda come to mind.

Bill R said...

Looks like a grave...
