i only like hot sauces that no one’s heard of cuz i’m so cool.

the story left out clinton’s reaction:

no, see, you don’t get it. i mean, yes, in a *mundane*, *worldly* sense they are lying. but through their mundane lies they express a divine truth, more thruthly than actual truth. a truth that transcends what is actually true. so it would in fact be a sin not to lie.

i genuinely lolled.

i like how the rich guy’s dismayed that it’s being, “made into a class warfare.” i imagine him drying his tears with hundred dollar bills, letting them fall to the ground of the courtyard the poor people aren’t to use.

so if he was singing karaoke that’d be a really fun, confident performance, and i’d applaud him. but he isn’t singing karaoke, so it really isn’t very good, is it?

i think this song and this video are not so good. i just don’t like it.

would i be wrong, do you think, in characterizing this as giving relief money to banks in the form of state backed loans to the people actually effected? i’m genuinely shocked and appalled, but then again i might just be misunderstanding something.

low cost loans? am i understanding correctly that an unelected emergency manager poisoned an entire city, and part of the state’s response is to back loans to the people actually effected, or in other words give relief money to the banks, who need it most? am i being too cynical?

i found a copy of the sorcerer’s stone lying around and started reading it to my six year old daughter in a desperate attempt to get her into something other than goosebumps, and she took right to it. we’re on book 5 of our second read through.

oh, but you missed the big climax.

yeah, people gloat about the republican presidential field being so shitty, but they’re firmly entrenched pretty much everywhere else. they don’t need the presidency. in fact, i wouldn’t be surprised to find out they didn’t want the presidency. with a democratic president, the republicans are very popular almost just…

baby in a highchair.

i agree, i’m skeptical that sanders can get single-payer. that was what obamacare was going to be, or at least it was to have a public option free of means testing which would, i think, put us on a path to single-payer. what we got instead of a public option was, gallingly, a personal mandate. that said, maybe the…

i was just joking around. what i’m trying to say is that the legislation to create a socialized health care system would be the same legislation that would dismantle our current system, so if it doesn’t pass it’s not as if we’re left stranded part way through a transition to nowhere.

well that’s just a small revision to his plan. instead of passing the “dismantle everything we have now” bill and then passing the “single-payer healthcare system” act, he’ll just flip it. boom. done.

i’m an experienced man in tech and i’ve never been told i’m too aggressive.
