On this Holy Day of going to the Big Box stores and outlet malls to use up whatever's left of the American Consumer's shrinking credit line, as a permanent jobless/starving class approaches one-fourth of the entire population and constant economic fear is the standard emotion for all but the richest 5%, what are Washington's concerns? Preserving very low tax rates for the very richest Americans, spending hundreds of billions losing wars against nobody in places like Afghanistan, and the institutionalized harassment of people who can still afford tickets on the nation's commercial airlines. Did you give enough thanks for all this, yesterday?
Hey, at least you two HAVE a cubicle. I've resigned myself to more or less permanent unemployment, sponging off the government and my family and growing ever fatter sitting in front of this computer.
BTW, just to be a history nerd, the Roman Empire took about four hundred years to fall (or over a thousand, depending on your view of the Byzantine Empire), so, everyone, strap in! We've got a few more centuries to stumbling along left in us!
Actually, I do worry about just about everything, but I'm also a stupid Pollyanna who think America can and will one day be great again. In other words: I'm crazy.

I can haz snarkz?
Humbuggery.
But on a more positive note... ummmmm, I got nothing.
I'm really starting to worry about you, Ken.

Nothing that electing real 'Muricans and lowering taxes can't solve!
Here's to American Exceptionalism! Jesus died for Black Friday shoppers.
whoever gets to be Next SuperPower better fucking get cracking on those jet packs.
Tell us how you really feel, Mr. Layne.
