Half of what I say is sarcasm, but I'm unsure which half is. The depth of darkness in my soul is matched only by my appreciation for the pinpricks of light.
Doing nothing is the kindest thing the US has done for any country lately.

The country is taking it in the back door. Why shouldn’t the government?

That sentence pains me.

That sounds like an evil plot that requires forethought and planning. Fortunately, the kakistocracy doesn't seem capable of forethought.

Fair enough. I won’t disparage the good fight, but I have about given up. I’m not sure we deserve to be saved anymore.

We already did.

You’re playing semantic games that preach to the choir but do little to persuade.

Hillary and Bill are horrible people. Their legacy of lying, rule breaking, sexual assault, and unfavorably paved the way for Trump.

They should go quietly into the night and not be trotted out as examples of anything to admire.

I have never seen so many English words in a row make so little sense to me.

The offer of bearded belly dancers is tempting.

Shutting down trump’s government isn’t all bad.

Get the kids to pay you protection money to keep the tooth fairy away.

I hope there are some nice re-education camps. I miss going to camp as a kid.

Landing is an art. You will never pull off an iron lotus unless you dare to push boundaries.

It’s only bad for you if you can’t quit. If you manage to quit it’s a sign that everything is under control and safe for you to come back.

Can we be the 11th province?

Flying trump out of Washington is money well spent.

I think this might have been the guy, and I mixed up some of the details. Forgive me because it was a decade ago.

My point was that weird behavior can happen when you start smashing the human brain. If someone can become unabashedly attracted to children, I'm sure they can become politically extreme, seeing as being a fascist, liking a dictator, and hating others isn't rare in human societies.

Thousands of government workers “accidentally” spilled coffee on their laptops this week.

If it keeps Mitch past his bedtime, he might have trouble with the stairs.

They can.

I read a journal article about an upstanding guy who suddenly became sexually attracted to children and open about it. It was so out of character that he had a brain scan done. He had a massive tumor putting pressure on his brain. Once removed, the odd behavior was reversed.

The point isn't to silence the man. It's to make sure everyone knows he was silenced.

I hope Russians rise up and give Putin a going-away party fit for Gaddafi.
