Hardbacks have arrived—my first book in hardcover and it’s gorgeous.

Imagine working you way up in public office only to prostrate yourself before a demented clown and being forced to lick his filthy @ss daily, knowing full well that one day you will be mercilessly mocked for the pathetic loser that you became.

Seriously, how you must hate yourself to do that.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
