I do the same thing with my wife, with mixed results. Sometimes laughs, sometimes not. We all try, right? We try to cheer each other up, and maybe prevent spontaneous combustion.

Oh! My late husband, who was a great person, used to say that. He was pretty calm all the time and I was always getting nervous and upset. I'd yell "If people just weren't so cruel, things would be okay!" Something obvious like that. And he'd say, "Now that's just crazy talk." And that would make me laugh so much. And now you said it, for the same kind of reason. Which is pretty cool and amusing, so thanks.

Except for those Fing Native Americans. And we all know they are useless alcoholic moochers who pollute our pristine amber waves of grain with their reservations. We should just take that land to run oil pipelines over, or mine the uranium out from under them, or SOMETHING useful. I mean, it's just SITTING there, providing a definable limit on where the Natives are allowed to live. If we TOOK it, we wouldn't have to worry about them anymore.

I think I got off subject a bit...

It is admittedly very strange but it reflects a weirdness in the current warp. I'm wondering if our environmental issues are just making us crazy.

When are we gonna understand that we are all fucking immigrants? All of us came from somewhere else. It's what we do. We fuck anything that moves and then go from place to place. There are no pure whites or pure black or browns or yellows or reds. We are all Heinz fucking 57 mongrels. Get over it!

Oh yes, some of them are immigrants but corporate welfare is encouraged by the Republicans. It insures they will get a kickback of some sort. And you thought there was no free lunch.

Being Jewish does not mean you can't be an asshole.

Republicans: We care about hard-working people who've fallen on tough times and are being ignored by the coastal elite!

Also Republicans: You're working three jobs and still can't make ends meet? Fuck you, you useless mooch.

With his speech at the RNC, I thought maybe Ted has a tiny sliver of dignity which had finally asserted itself after so long buried under the layers of slime, but it was not to be...https://img.washingtonpost....

Are you saying that he is such a loser, that he got turned down by his left hand?
