I think I may have to try that.

Bake fresh croissants? You're mad, my friend.

This escalated at just the right speed.

I'm concerned, okay? I have grave reservations about this President and this Administration. If it turns out you're right and I'm wrong, believe me, I'll be the first one to congratulate you.

Rumor has it that they have, in fact, come to their senses and quietly done away with those things. The better to pay Zack Greinke $35 million a season for his decline years, I suppose.

The first amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Go whine to fucking…

Post-XFL, Rod Smart signed with the Panthers, and in his first or second game he got absolutely leveled on a punt return. The next week they played Philly, and some dude in the stands had a huge banner saying "HE HIT ME."

It's NOT CENSORSHIP. Please do stick your tongue up my ass at your earliest convenience.

The Blue Jays are wearing red alts this year, which is if anything even more ridiculous.

Once again, freedom of speech is governmental. Reddit can host, or not host, whatever the fuck they want.

I do like the way you think, 'mage.

Yep.

I remember an issue of Esquire with him on the cover and a tag line something like "Arnold Schwarzenegger will be the next governor of California. No, really." And I laaaaaauuuughed.

That Belko Experiment thing runs dangerously close to my "all character actor" fantasy film. I can get behind that one.

There's a house down the street from me that had several Trump signs prominently displayed. They also have several Blue Lives Matter signs up, still, because of course they do.

I'll try, Kadath. I'll seriously, seriously try.

HIPSTERS (spits)

You know what the weird thing is, 'mage? I'm hard-pressed to really care anymore. Like, you want us to regress to the 19th century? You sincerely want all of the social safety nets dismantled? You want young women dying from back-alley abortions? Fine. Let's do it. Fuck all of you.

(sighs, drinks)

Yeah, that sounds about right.
