No more "Vote for me!" Ads! Hooray!!

Thank God the election is over.  


The political ads which were got old months ago, text messages to my phone wanting me to take surveys and vote for a certain candidate and fliers that were filling my mailbox everyday are finally going to come to an end.  

For now anyway.  I'll be signing up for one of those Data Removal services before that happens though.

Now if we could just get rid of the stupid, repetitive ads for Progressive and Liberty Mutual from the streaming platforms, that would be great.

Now let's see if they actually do anything with this majority.  That is the trick.


MAGA Tears
Boo Hoo

The State Playing God with Landlords

Today I want to discuss an issue that I have been dealing with over the last couple months. My windows look nothing like this, btw.

Out of the Blue in 2026: About two months ago, the CDC sent my...

Hello World

Good morning and welcome to my new blog, The Patism Project.  The place where I will be sharing my wisdom, creative projects, and bullshit with whoever is lucky enough to read it. Although I’m launching this blog on Election Day, November 3rd, 2026, politics will only be a small part of it. There’s already plenty of political noise out there, and by the time election day arrives, you’ve probably had your fill of repetitive campaign ads and "Vote for me!" bullshit.  I know I have, but of course I can only speak for myself.    A little about me: My name is Patrick and Patism is my personal philosophy of life.   I am a single dad from Portland Maine.  I am still raising a difficult 15-year-old named Cody.  Cody is a slightly autistic teenager with very high IQ and a bad attitude.   I became a grandfather this past June.  Congrats to my daughter Gabby and Jah. Their mother, who jumped on a plane and went to California in 2019 without te...
