She's handy with firearms, and uses them to commit multiple homicides. On top of that, she's as much fun as smoking cannabis, which reminds me that I must find my cash so that I may acquire some, and also my rolling papers so that I can roll a marihuana cigarette.

I think this election proved that being a creep around young women is no barrier to being elected President.

I decided sometime around, oh, November 9th that Beau Biden's death would eventually be remembered as the start of this national tragedy.

I actually lived in Pinellas as a teenager, and it was…OK, although I moved out as soon as I was 18. But yeah, anything's nicer than Hillsborough.

There isn't some industry of idiot-reinforcing junk portraying a beaver standing mightily upon an impenetrable dam with a rippling maple leaf in the background.

One of my buddies in the Air Force enlisted after he quit being an EMT in Central Florida. He'd gone through two years of school for a job he really wanted, then quit after six months. Apparently there's a lot less "saving people's lives" and a lot more "providing first response to child victims of sexual assault"…

I mean, who ever got anywhere by insulting former POWs?

Yeah, but we don't let them near the levers of power, at least not above the "perennially dickish town selectman" level.

Just what this country needs…two more Republican Senators!

"Resplendent!"

The Walking Pope

my guess is that the old pope who talks to Lenny in his dream/vision is Peter.

This is what happens when you make being smart a crime for a few decades.

He claimed to be a descendant of Pio, and of Mary as well. The latter point is especially hilarious.

Hey, four more years of President Trump, and "Love even those despise you" and "Blessed are the poor and humble" will be edgy countercultural ideas!

To a non-Catholic? Probably not too much, unless he started openly allying with with the rising right-wing nationalism in the world.

He is the long-prayed-for curative to those American bishops who try to make the Church an arm of the Republican Party. His ministry is blessing unto the world.

I'm hoping he busts out the sedia gestatoria at some point.

Ummm…few of us were praying for an Episcopalian Pope. And your characterization of Fr. Reynolds' teaching is…charitably speaking, ommisive.

That Goddamned Pope
