The mandate to wear clothes in public is a dictatorial infringement on my freedoms.  Not wearing clothes is a personal choice in which the government has to no right to interfere with just because it might disturb other people.  Now please excuse me while I burn these American flags to keep warm.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Man, that Trump fella must be a seriously awful person if so many people are willing to take what is happening to America now over him.  :hmm:

Wait.  What's happening in America now?
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.

Nothing that hasn't already been going on for a long time now.

Some old jerkoff in Palm Beach is mucking around with the Republican Party.

Oh man.

QuoteBush concluded his speech on a note of healing and redemption.

"We as a people must stand united, banding together to tear this nation in two," Bush said. "Much work lies ahead of us: The gap between the rich and the poor may be wide, be there's much more widening left to do. We must squander our nation's hard-won budget surplus on tax breaks for the wealthiest 15 percent. And, on the foreign front, we must find an enemy and defeat it."



Goddamnit.

And the award for the dumbest take on mask mandates goes to ...




:lol:
Florida Republicans are fighting schools so that they don't allow masks.  Weird.  Will they withold fundings from school that don't forbid guns on campus?
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.
