Happy Constitution Day, U.S. Wonkers of America and such as! On this day in 1987, we celebrated the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution of the United States. Yr Doktor Zoom distinctly remembers how none of the students in his freshman composition class got all of the really easy constitutional trivia questions right -- simple stuff like "What does the Fifth Amendment protect?" and "Is it legal for the government to make you pray to your guns?"
You have my deepest sympathy. I know what it's like to lose a brother (who was a close friend) suddenly and way too soon. The pain is excruciating. The feeling never really goes away, even after you have pulled yourself back together. My brother still shows up quite regularly in my dreams. Sometimes it's pleasant and sometimes not. (On those occasions it is not scary, just strange.) Such a loss never, ever makes sense and you never really get over it. You ultimately just live with it. You go on with your life but you never forget this moment.
That image, the one of my brother moments after he died, was what dominated for several months afterward whenever I thought about him. In time (it's been seven years now since he died) it gave way to images of him (and us) when he was alive. Memories and images that are no doubt too painful to recall right now for you, as they were for me right after his passing. Early on when he appeared in my dreams it was as he looked shortly before the end. He didn't actually talk to me but I got the impression that wherever he was now, he was whole and no longer in any pain. Now, years later, when he shows up in my dreams they are images of us together long before his passing, doing things that we typically did back then. Images from the time of his death no longer dominate. My interpretation is that he wants me to (and I want to) remember him as the living breathing person that he was in life, and to no longer dwell so much on how that life ended. Keeping him alive in my memory means remembering him when he was alive, when he was full of life. i simply couldn't deal with those kinds of memories in the immediate aftermath though because it was too painful.
Half of Issa's dumbfuck base can't tell a Constitutional clause from commie socialist propaganda. I wonder how many will stop following the clod, now that he's spammed their feeds?

Well, he <em>did</em> get that commendation for original thinking. So of course he would find ways to adhere to the spirit of the rule while running roughshod over the letter.
&quot;Voyager&quot; was actually 78 years from being interesting.
You&#039;re talking about Diana &quot;Betsy&quot; Ross and the Supremes?
Yee haw! Pew pew pew!
Regular visits to massage parlors are good for the constitution, or so I&#039;ve been told.

I cannot even begin to imagine your pain. My thoughts go out to you.
No, no. The One Amendment to Rule Them All is, quite obviously, the 2nd.
Thank you. Cranked it up to start the day.

Wait a minute! There are non-gun parts of the Constitution? I did not see that memo.

Better yet, here, have some Saurian brandy.

The Yangs know more about the Constitution than the GOP does at this point.
