Shelter Cat Update!

Make fun all you want, with Paula in charge you guys would have healthcare, public school funding and good vibes all round!

Have you ever read the title of an article and just asked yourself “What the fuck is this?” This is one of those times. How can such a garbage human being exist?

To be fair, if you have 5,000 words of material, but need to stretch it to 10,000, no skill is quite so valuable as mediocre-white-man confidence.

You’re welcome! Kinja tried it’s best to keep me from posting tonight, bit I persevered.

Maybe Rami Malek doesn’t read Gawker or take that site as any sort of serious news reporting? They did go down after refusing to remove the Hogan sex tape after all. So spare me the whole “Gawker was lookign out for these kids!!” when your own fucking manager at the website said he’d post videos of underage children…

As a community organizer, I start every public and private event here in Oregon with:

Here is a picture of my cat in a necktie. Discuss.

My mother buys me clothes every year, and she means well, but she has the most whackadoo taste! She seems to think I’m a multiple personality who is simultaneously a veterinary assistant, 67 year old Kools smoking grandma at the dog track, quilter, and Russian hooker.
