I'd rather see him not be punished like he should than see someone else get punished on a level they shouldn't.

Well played, nerfherder. Well fucking played.

I did, actually. It's about the only thing of that ilk I've ever gotten anything out of.

I love that fucking guy. I hope he's happy and crazed wherever he is.

I missed that, and that makes me think that perhaps Ralph Nader is far more of a crank than I'd ever suspected. Then again, what I meant was that I refuse to be ashamed of my vote for him in 2000, knowing what I knew then, and would not retroactively go back and change my vote, not that I necessarily think Ralph Nader…

You know what would be a sweet metal band name? Tool.

Nah, that's a bunch of sensitive, ironic beardos with banjos.

They'd need someone to spin it, though. Whatever happened to Carville? He could probably pull it off.

To be fair, it's taken a good long while for it to erode to this point. But Trump, forgive me, trumps all that for good, once and for all. Any push back toward reason and civility, at least in the near term, will be met with outcry - from the right for seeming weak, and from the left for… seeming weak.

A new, modified WPA would be a godsend, in a lot of ways. Shore up the infrastructure, provide decent-paying (if temporary) jobs - shit, we got a good amount of quality work out of the Federal Writers' Project. How many underpaid writers do you know? But anything that isn't the free market reigning supreme over all is…

Hail.

2000 was the first presidential election I was old enough to vote in. I voted for Nader, and I'd do it again. But I was in New York. You gotta choose your spots for things like that. This go-around, I was in Pennsylvania, and I proudly voted for Hillary.

That's no fucking fun at all. Those piece of shit thugs are still going to be in the White House doing whatever the fuck they want.

Remind me, when does the 'fun' start?

If it gets bad enough, there will (eventually, hopefully) be something of a backlash. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I'll live long enough to see it.

I think Irreversible is a pretty phenomenal piece of movie-making, even as I totally get why some people aren't interested in ever seeing it, but that makes absolutely no sense.

Don't know our ass from a hole in the ground.

Fair enough. Still don't much like teen girls, though. Sorry, man.

By the time I was out of high school I'd had enough of that shit. My first-post high school girlfriend was 24. Never looked back. Not saying it matters much one way or the other, but there it is. Call me an outlier if you must.

I always have been.
