I guess I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

One thing I learned is that I definitely need better stress coping strategies.  I don't recall the last time I was this physically sick from stress.

I was up all night for 2016, couldn't believe it. I approached this one with a real sense of dread and when FL didn't go Biden I felt certain that this was going to be a nightmare so I turned off and went to bed. A good move. My biggest take away is this is a big failure of punditry and polling. I need to be consuming better quality centrist or liberal media than I am or add more insightful conservative media. Some of the stuff I have been following (I have loved the Bulwark, but clearly they are wrong) has given me a faulty set of assumptions about what's happening and what it means. The left wing stuff I read has been better, but I take it often with a pinch of salt. Rising has probably been my most accurate commentary, and I listened less as the election approached because they were being so circumspect about the outcome and warning of high Republican voter turn out and falling Democrat Latino vote.

I love the Bulwark, and still do.  But it doesn't run ads, and after being open for almost 2 years it only just started a subscription program (and even still most of their material is free).

Someone is bankrolling them and has an agenda.

:lol: I was up in the mountain drunk. Laughing my ass off. Shocked, but laughing my ass off.
