New York U.S. House member Alexandra Occasional Cortex … er … Ocasio-Cortez is the shining star of the Left and is considered by Democratic Party Chairman Tom Perez as its future. A self-proclaimed democratic socialist, Cortez was recently interviewed by Anderson Cooper on CBS in which the topic of the Green New Deal came up.
Occasional Cortex Disorder (OCD) is a serious medical condition that deteriorates the reasoning power of the human brain. The OCD brain collects facts, but can't associate or share knowledge across its memory spheres. If a normal brain is a global network, the OCD brain is a siloed 1980s IBM PC. Cartoonist Dag is the unsung hero behind the “Occasional Cortex” moniker, which because CFP couldn’t copyrite it, was picked up by many woke Conservatives, including radio giant Rush Limbaugh, who.
The Green New Deal is the Left’s latest marketing tool to make the case to destroy the U.S. energy sector in which the plan calls for replacing all carbon-based fuels with so-called renewable energy. According to The Washington Times, Cortez is quoted as telling Anderson Cooper:
You look at our tax rates back in the ‘60s, and when you have a progressive tax rate system, your tax rate, let’s say from $0 to $75,000 maybe 10% or 15%, etc. But once you get to the tippie-tops, on your 10 millionth dollar, sometimes you see tax rates as high as 60 or 70 percent. That doesn’t mean all $10 million dollars are taxed at an extremely high rate. But it means that as you climb up this ladder, you should be contributing more.
Cooper called Cortez’s remedy to tax wealthy people 70% radical to which she then had the audacity to not only embrace the term but also compared herself to Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. However, Ocasio-Cortez conveniently doesn’t want you to know that she has no intention of ponying up or living up to her ideals.
To her credit, Ocasio-Cortez had previously even criticized lawmakers who drew their $174,000 a year salaries while the federal government was in the midst of a shutdown. However, it was nothing more than convenient posturing. A reporter with the New York Postcaught up with her yesterday on Capitol Hill and asked Cortez if she planned to live up to what she advocated. Her response was: I’ve gotta run!
During December of last year, Ocasio-Cortez criticized Congressional lawmakers for drawing salaries while the shutdown was going on but she obviously has no intention of practicing what she preaches. That would also include her paying the extra 70% tax she supports to fund her green energy boondoggles since she would write the rules for her tax law and would know how to skirt it while everyone else would have to endure the headaches of having to pay or avoid the tax rate altogether.

Occasional Cortex Disorder (OCD) is a serious medical condition that deteriorates the reasoning power of the human brain.
The OCD brain collects facts, but can't associate or share knowledge across its memory spheres. If a normal brain is a global network, the OCD brain is a siloed 1980s IBM PC. OCD causes the cortex to form black holes which gravitationally pull back and stop information from000bbeing shared with other spheres.
Simple facts the OCD brain can recall, such as: margarita recipes, salsa-sauce-making tips, and kitty litter clean up strategies.
However complex thought is restricted. Questions about foreign policy and macro-economics wrack the brain of an OCD sufferer.
In the end, OCD-inflicted people don't trust logic and000bfacts as much as their feeeeelings.
A normal brain learns from history. It stores life's lessons in long term memory to better adapt to life.
The normal cerebral cortex is active & associative. Logical insights flash back and forth across its connective tissue. It learns life's lessons:
-- People must work to eat & live in a safe shelter.
-- It's not wise to kill geese who lay golden eggs.000b
-- Socialists murdered tens of millions in the 20th century.000b
-- Criminals, fraudsters & MS-13 gangs actually exist.000b
-- Police, military, ICE and border walls protect us.
-- Big government taxes kill000bprivate job creation.000b

Sounds like what liberals have......
Is it Occasional Cortex Disorder or Occasional Cortez Disorder?
Your creation? The “Attacking Red Hen Chicken Pox” made me laugh, but the whole thing...oh so true!
Ping.
Poconopundit coined the nom de gurre for her: “Alexandria Occasional-Cortex” which I appreciate for two reasons...first, I cannot remember her real name (is it Occidentally-Cortez or “Accidentally-Cortez”...or what?) and secondly, it highlights the fact that her gray matter may not be in a processing mode for all things at all times!
Everyone reads Free Republic.
Is it Occasional Cortex Disorder or Occasional Cortez Disorder?

LOL!! Occasional Ocasio Cortez Cortex Disorder
LOL, I meant “nom de guerre”!
THAT is what I get for using fancy words...:)
Karla Marx by any other name....
Sounds like the favored platform for the DNC.
Alexander Occasional Cortex
Exactly.
Every few decades, socialism rears its ugly head, often with a new name like “Democratic Socialism” or whatever, and the new acolytes have never learned (or have willfully forgotten) the lessons of history, and it makes another push to get into the public sphere.
But it is still the same evil dressed up in new clothes.
Perfect! I was going to go out and look for that exact pose to Photoshop!
From what I understand of this debilitating condition is that it is related to Trump Derangement Synonym. Trump Derangement Syndrome is a media driven disorder. If you stop feeding your brain on MSM the disorder will naturally subside and the brain will start to function somewhat reasonably... maybe even suggest to the patient that it’s time to leave the parent’s basement and get a job.
Cortex disorder is more complicated and has a history that predates media. Some think that it was imported from Europe to Latin America and others say it was a response to imperialist Conquistadors e.g., Cortez the Killer. It is also aligned with South American Liberation Theology. Many think it is the product of a virulent virus — like rabies — that make you want to bite the invisible hand of Capitalism. American universities are perhaps the ones most infected and students and profs will resort to a gibberish speech they call Post Modernism. Some students and profs think it is quite fashionable to talk in this irrational way before they march in mayhem destroying other people’s property. But there is no hope for the rabid universities unless they quarantine them and take a blow torch to disinfect by fire — the situation is that critical.

I agree, BEJ.The idiocy of which you speak was written about in a 1922 essay by H. L. Mencken called Vox Populi.
I posted an edited verson of this in a 2016 piece: H. L. Mencken Predicted Donald Trump, the Enlightened Rabble-Rouser
Did you see the recent story that Trump is working on a bill that will get colleges and universities to document how much money their graduates make?
That will take a sizeable bit out of gender studies and other worthless humanities programs.
Good one, Frank!
