Feeling pretty good about what Kansans did last night.
No.
No to cruelty.
No to control of the many by the few.
And for many of us, no to primitive ideologies that destroy the essence of our humanity.
I understand everything I read.
Loneliness builds character.
A fiscally based environmental policy is smarter than an environmentally based fiscal policy.
Lima beans have any redeeming qualities.
Misty Copeland is real.
“Bang. You’re dead.”
Dear ((name)),
Congratulations on your successful campaign to become a U.S Senator/Congressperson.

The collapse of our democracy begins with the loss of places where silly people can get together and lie to each other.

Among my many faults, I count a certain baseline cynicism as one I would like to overcome.

He’s awful.
I know it. You know it. Everyone knows it.
His detractors know it and his supporters know it too.
You didn’t have to live for a long time in New York and New Jersey as I did, listening to the non-stop stream of terrible garbage he spewed to the noise hungry media for decades, to know that he’s awful.
“Biased media portrayal” my skinny white ass. He comes off as awful because he is awful.
He’s been awful his entire adult life.
Everyone knows it.
If you support him, you can waste time and truth, with a bunch of gaslighting nonsense about people’s “different perspectives,” our you can come clean about whatever cynical reason you have for embracing his awfulness.
And if you truly believe that he is a good person with something to offer this country, well, as we say in Kansas, “Son, you can’t tell shit from wild honey.”
He’s awful and everyone knows it.
I mentioned to some friends today that this morning’s training on the Kaw was one of those glorious moments you receive as a reward for your commitment to the rowing life. Not a victory celebration necessarily, but a sublime moment … the rest “Oars, Outboards, and Early Mornings”
I’ve been accused of being one of the “sheeple” by people who believe herd-immunity is the way to triumph over COVID-19.
They say irony is dead but it seems its zombie corpse continues to reanimate just long enough to take another head-shot.

Three people shot, two are dead, but let’s make sure we have the correct “context” for a teenager wielding an assault rifle on American streets.

If you want to distill out the essence of Kimberly Guilfoyle’s raving animatronic moment at the Republican National Convention last night, you should start by imagining the vast emptiness of space…
The only way to save America from the failures of the current president is to elect Donald Trump in 2020!

Many of you have been asking if white supremacy is still on the platform since it isn’t officially listed, so we just wanted to let everyone know that, yes, we hear you. In fact, even though we shouldn’t really say it, white supremacy is our platform. Heh. Heh-heh.
Also note, there is a number at the bottom of your screen for the “I Saw Brown People Voting” emergency hotline.
OK, anything else we need to address? No? Good. Short and sweet. Thanks for coming everyone!
People talk about how Donald Trump hijacked the Republican Party. I don’t buy that anymore. I’ve seen enough.
Trump’s greed has put “conservatives” over a flame and distilled them down to their true essence. Fiscal and personal responsibility, moral fortitude, … the rest “Purified”
People are dying and homes are being lost, and this absolute fuckwit of a president is playing golf and bitching because Californians didn’t go out and rake their forests kiss his ass.
