“We are indeed in a struggle to preserve our republic, our civilization, and our religion, and to set free a suffering humanity."
There is something in that “set free a suffering humanity” phrase that sticks in my craw, and I feel like it deserves a bit of scrutiny. It reads like code to psychotic evangelicals, and I don’t like the sound of it.
I’m still upset that Al Gore didn’t keep up the fight. And a significant part of me still thinks Hillary should have stuck around longer and pushed for recounts in certain states as well. In world where good faith counts for something, I’d agree with you, but we don’t live in that world anymore and Republicans haven’t lived there for a long time.
And what are you talking about concerning Franken? “Now I know better?” Did new information come out?
Nice use of our flag as a backdrop for your credenza, lamp, books and that statue, which I assume is titled, “Faux Cowboy’s First Time on a Horse”. (alternate title, “Horse You Rode In On Says Fuck You, Get Off Me Asshole!”)
Fortunately, elections don’t rely on the loser accepting the result. Once the final tally is certified, he’s just another clown yelling at the ref after the game is over…
“This country is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions. I mean Old Testament, real wrath of God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes…the dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!”
Yeah, if he’s going to use a horse as some kind of cowboy tough-guy prop, he should at least learn how to ride. Any real horseman would see that footage and be horrified.
A lot of people don’t know that Eustace is the only monocled dandy who has actually worn out both LPs and CDs of Trout Mask Replica, Freak Out, and his perennial go-to, Ed Sanders’ Beer Cans on the Moon.
Even less people know that Master Tilley often claims his afterlife has been greatly enhanced after endless years playing with his favorite science set, the Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Lab.
Indeed, in a rare moment of pure bemusement and an even rarer lapse of aristocratic decorum, he once exclaimed, "The fucking uranium is included!"
Funny how paying people more to work menial jobs (or improving benefits, schedule predictability etc) is never suggested as a solution to labor shortages by the party that claims to believe in free markets
The problem is never a shortage of laborers. The problem is that employers don’t want to pay for labor. It cuts into profits. That’s why they love employing people illegally. Right, Don?
And if that doesn’t work, they’ll take it offshore where, hopefully, it won’t be noticed. Right, Don? Ivankationette? Anybody?
