Dead Diary

Published on October 29, 2008 in ..The Dude, Life and Uncategorized. 1 Comment

Ahh more stupid human titles.

Might be my autobiography title. Or more likely a gravestone epitaph. Stupid Human Titles. Or Dead Diary for that matter. But that too falls under the heading of stupid human titles. Truly tragic. Truly Tragic: A Life Not LIved! With the exclamation point. SO many possibilities. All of them stupid. On to business.

I’m just going to come right out and say this and damn what society may say about me. I like Vanilla Sky. Sure it’s a flawed film and it goes a bit crazy at the end but the thing is damn watchable to me. THis is possibly due to some of the very superficiality and gloss of the film that the movie itself is partly about.  I want the LE alternative. Fill my head with the imagery most evocative of happiness from my past, a missed opportunity girl recast in a form fitted psuedo reality playing to my needs, and frakking immortality to make up for a lot of lost time. Instead of starting from that rainy street pop me back in the 80′s somewhere and let’s do this thing again with all those tools at my disposal but in an imaginary virtual Dudescape meant to make with the happy and content.

I’d probably opt for a cloudy and rainy horizon overlaying my “lucid dream,” instead of Cruise’s Vanilla Sky. I always found those types of days more vivid and some of my best memories are from the types of days where the sky feels closer, the concrete cleaner, and the atmosphere charged with not only ions but the presence of fellow travelers who you know really want or need to be out wherever you are. It’s like all our actions are more shared for having braved the weather to execute them. There’s someting cozy about those types of days. Something safe and singular and slightly off skew like the view from a window pleasantly blurred and softened by rainwater running in streaks and odalisques. A malleable geometry cushioning the hard edges of a bleak the rain can’t make any bleaker.

I would probably keep much of the iconic pop cultural imagery and NY grandeur even recognizing how it all was conveying a sense of mass consumerism. One of images as well as goods. Since WWII we have been more consumer oriented, government and industry rebuilding our economy and laying the foundations for who we are and what we’ve become through driven propoganda campaigns to equate purchasing power with equality and happiness. It is not only our stuff but out favorites whether they be our music choices, TV, books, cell phones, entertainment systems or the paintings and posters we hang in our homes that define us and that we choose to alter our reality with. The LE experience takes that altering to the nth degree. But it is no less honest and just as much a product of our ego’s and psychological makeups.

I would enter readily. Hell I’d plug into the Matrix at this point. Just as long as I can change history a bit and be more than I was or am. I stand upon a giant skyscraper a disfigured outcast but instead of jumping I stand between the elements: either a noxious gas drifting out and upwards or if fiction can help me a virtual solid with metaphorical wings flying away from the bitter wellspring of all that toxicity.

Speaking of those things that define us I was reading that studies indicate our favorite things can really tell people about our personality. To an extent. Not a surprise but now there’s clinical evidence that we choose stuff we think makes a statement about us and or gravitate to stuff that does so. With that in mind as well as with a mind towards eliminating some time wasters in life i’ve discarded some tv shows. I’m watching stuff that rivets my attention and no less. So Heroes and Chuck are gone. So is Fringe. Pushing Daisies is getting close. Still on board are the shows I can’t tear my eyes away from and that are infinitely absorbing.

They are: Mad Men, Lost, 24, BSG, South Park, The Office, and on DVD The Wire and Six Feet Under which I’m a season through on DVD in both cases. Some other shows that are more of a newsy oriented type remain in rotation such as The Daily Show, Colbert Report, and some occasional CNBC watching and assorted sports, movies and specials. These are all the shows you need for a happy life. They will have a place within the LE experience along with that missed opportunity, let’s go with Jennifer for the moment, the two of us walking through the cover of Master Of Puppets instead of Freewheelin Dylan. Ok maybe MOP is too far and surreal even for lucid dreaming. How about Jen and I driving through the highway cover of P.J.’s Yield? Yeah I like it. Feels right.

One week to election day. Polls are good. I don’t trust them yet. I don’t want think it before it’s real. The latest desperation campaign from McCain-Palin is throwing out all this Socialist nonsense. And clearly that’s to be read as Communist. Can you frakking imagine that they are resorting to Cold War paranoia now? A little touch of McCarthyism in 2008. Wow. Absolutely wow. And to borrow from the era and the hearings instigated by that legendary piece of shit, have you no shame Senator, have you no shame?

Never mind that this country has always been a little socialist and just enacted major socialist policies to bail out the economy. McCain’s not talking to anyone who really pays attention anyway. Republicans know full well who their audience is. Oh the irony of that support and loyalty they show them when every strategy is predicated on those people’s stupidity, hatred, and ignorance. Historians are going to get such a kick out of us I tell you.

__________

George RR MArtin’s Songs Of FIre And Ice series is kind of cool 500 pages into it. Pure escapsist stuff of a Tolkien mixed with T.H. White type stuff. I’m not ready to start Neal Stephenson’s new book Anathem yet. I’m not worthy at this timeand need to get my house in order. Or quite possibly I’m trying to keep something to look forward to since there’s precious little of that going around.

_________

I’m a New York Giants fan.

I just wanted to say that because it’s rare I feel proud of a team of mine.

But something needs to be done about Plax.

__________

It’s time to start writing something bigger. Too many ideas are scrambled up in my head with too little time to sort them out and apply them. I’m on vacation another 5 days but it’s not enough time. I’m only just starting to decompress and think on a higher level after the first 5 days. I know when I go back the distractions, pressures, obligations, responsibilities, and agitations will commence. And stuff like that dumbs me down. Noggin’s only so big and I can’t seem to focus enough attention in multiple areas. I got to try and get a system. Yeah a system! Otherwise, poof! I completely disappear in my Faded Glory underwear.

___________

I hope this half hour multiple network Obama commercial tomorrow night doesn’t rub people the wrong way. Seems kind, you know, uppity.

To some people it might. Although they’ll say elitist. If he’s really ahead now why take the chance people will get turned off by wall to wall station to station Obamaness? It’s like Big Brother or that English dude in V For Vendetta. You know someone’s going to spin it like that. Like it shows how big his ego is and he’s all about the grandeur of Barack.

Hoepfully it’ll be no worse than a benign moment though it’s hard to imagine how it’s really going to make things any better for him at the moment.

________________

But when you look at the list of Presidential first names and all the George’s, William’s, and John’s, how cool would it be to suddenly chuck a Barack onto that list?

Because if we’re seriously ever going to get right with the actual world and not the repressed and ignorant one large pockets of this country live in, we’re going to need more names and faces better representative of it. I like that Obama can do that both for this country and abroad.

__________

I have a new cell phone. IT can do lots of things. Navigate the internet tubes, mobile tv and e mail, core an apple and all the normal futuristic cell phone stuff none of us really needs. It’s the LG Voyager though I have 30 days to take it back and exchange if for the Dare which I’m considering doing since the latter is a bit thinner and lighter but virtual keyboard instead of the flip open Qwerty.

Qwerty is fun to type by the way. I just found that out. I guess that’s why they’re called Qwerty what with all those letters right next to each other at the beginning. In honor of Jimmy Qwerty who invented typing. He’s actually a cousin of Steve Internet who invented tubing.

__________

i’m going to bet on it this time. Chinese Democracy is supposed to be out on November 23rd. I think it’s real. Of course November 23rd is also a Sunday and new stuff never comes out on a Sunday. But supposedly it’s some Best Buy thing where they will have some kind of exclusive rights to sell the album. I don’t get how it helps an artist to limit himself to one retailer. i know it’s been happening with others at places like Wal-Mart. I guess it’s not surprising in this corporate sponsored society. Soon whole lives will be brought to us by Kool-Aid the official sponsor of Joe Sixpack’s life 2012-2101.

Oh Yeah!

Blurbtacular Saturday!

Published on October 11, 2008 in ..The Dude, Music, Sports and Television. 1 Comment

Random thoughts for a random Saturday in a random October of a random life.

Went to Bardovan in Poughkeepsie last night and was struck by the people sitting there listening to live guitar driven music like it was performance art. A packed house full of people sat there for 2 hours not reacting to music they paid a decent amount to hear live. No bobbing their head to the beat. no foot tapping. Nothing. But after each song they erupted into raucus applause and cheering. Now I didn’t like the music at all and even I was bouncing my leg a bit. Mostly I wanted to nap or run from how obnoxiously loud the music was.

And that’s another issue I have: The idea that louder = better. Screw nuance or subtlety. Just blow their ears out and they’ll think they’re hearing some good shit. Dazzle them with a sound system and they wont notice how mediocre the music is. THis is a widespread issue even on CD’s which are being produced to play louder. IT’s some of the stupidest shite to happen to music since people started treating Country music as a legitimite art form worthy of a separate awards show.

The performer in question was Susan Tedeschi and her band. Sort of a blues-Bonnie Raitt type of sound. Raitt is perhaps not coincidentally playing the same venue this Sunday night. Thank god I won’t have to sit through that overrated crap. I want twang in my lemonade not my music. But the impression I got from the room last night was of a bunch of uptight elitist hippies wanting to be seen out and about doing cultural things and pretending to like a marginal talent because its Woodstock hippie cool to take notice and support fringe stuff. That’s fine if you really like it. But if you really it like shouldn’t you move to the music instead of sitting there studying the stage like you’re watching a Fellini movie?

I even smelled a few people with Patchuli on them. Most of them men I think. Now as much as I find aspects of the Patchuli smelling experience deplorable and everything it stands for dubious I am prone to want to have sex with a woman wearing it. THis is one of my burdens and or fetishes. Due to a couple of women in my past I want to both vomit at the smell and fornicate. Perhaps simultaneously. Judge me if you must. But a man wearing it just makes me want to beat the living crap out of him until the coppery silver smell of his own blood overwhelms and purifies the stench he has so liberally applied to his flesh. And I do mean liberal in a couple of ways here.

_____

mOre on music: I think Metallica putting out a decent new album is making me revert to an 80′s-early 90′s version of myself. I’m dressing in black, being angry more, wanting to be unemployed just hanging out improving my body and mind on my own time, and am less attractive to women then ever.

See now that I think about it whatever fortune I had with women (and I did have some surprisingly pretty attractive women’s attentions considering my lack of looks, physical prowess or money for a bit from my late 20′s to mid to late 30′s) seems to have coincided with Metallica sucking somewhat. Now just in time for me being ignored and shunned all over again Metallica is back with a pretty good album. In my opinion their first of that decade to 12 year period in question where pretty girls occasionally talked to me rather than spit upon me.

Problem is I doubt they’ll make good albums until I’m 80 or whatever.

But Death magnetic is good. It’s not AJFA or MOP good. Or even Black Album. But it kicks some ass and has some riffage that grabs you by the throat and chokes you refusing to let go until you change your evil ways. THere’s some decent impotent middle class white boy rage venting possibilities on it and perhaps that’s why I’m wanting to revert to the impotent middle class white boy of my misspent youth.

_________

Red Sox take game 1 in Tampa. Still think Rays have an edge if it’s a long series. I think if it goes 6-7 they win. If the Sox are going to win this thing I think it has to happen in 4-5 and end at Fenway. THat remains highly unlikely. But sweet babseball jesus do I enjoy watching Boston play. Thank mythology there’s an American League with a team I’ve always dug and does everything a large market team should do for me to hide out from the Mets in and around.

And speaking of the Mutts no one should be untouchable. I wold trade anyone in the right deal. I would start with Jose Reyes the most overrated player in the game. I’ve never taken to him and his clownish antics. i think he’s a stupid player, incapable of learning, and a showboating loser. If I could get a top line arm for him I’m there. I’ll drive the punk to his new city.

________

Giants looking good but not really tested yet. Even if they take that step back I thought they would and still think will get exposed later this season due to the losses they’ve sustained this is a solid bunch with decent youth and this could be fun to be around for a few years. And they already stole a Super Bowl championship early in the game.

Good times.

________

THis just in: Sarah Palin vomited about a quart of semen since identified as belonging to long dead Pilgrims.

______

Some of McCain’s decent side finally came out Friday when he tried putting an end to his supporters hate filled and ignorant ramblings about Obama. I almost felt sorry for JM when he had to cut off this illiterate white woman that could barely form a sentence about being scared of an Arab President. You know deep down he hates these people as much as he ever did. But he sold his soul to them and has had to live with the legacy of a dumbed down electorate and the fear mongering tactics of his party. He’s in league with the devil and he knows it. That’s worse than Bush who really has no fucking clue.

_______

SPeaking of which I want to see W. I’m not a huge Oliver Stone fan. He’s an ok director who takes things too far quite often. BUt I want to sit in a theater with liberals and watch as they get as tribal as right wingers at a church rally pretending what they’re watching is reality instead of just something that makes them comfortable. It’s stupid shit but it may be fun stupid shit and it’s always good to remind myself of how liberals are just as full of it at times.

Though far less judging from the evidence.

I don’t like the fact that Stone apparently puts a lot of Iraq on Bush’s daddy issues. i think that minimilizes the conspiracy and long standing ideological agenda that was at play there and Dick Cheney’s part in it. One only has to read the PNAC policy paper from the 90′s of which Cheney was an author to know why Iraq happened.

________________

And if it weren’t for Iraq maybe we could use some of that uncountable money to help out the economic crisis. I’ve myself lost 2-3 thousand so far. THis is partly my fault for letting my money sit in a system I didn’t believe in. I’ve wondered aloud how we could sustain our economy when it’s built on invisible money and credit. Debt being the number one industry in America couldn’t be a good thing could it? People buying shit they can’t afford can’t be smart can it? It’s got to blow doesn’t it? And yet I left it in there hoping I was just ignorant about economics. Which I am. So maybe the experts really know something I don’t and that’s why they trust the system.

Well they did know more. But it’s not why they trusted the system. THey were towing a party line and burying their heads in the sand.

But this isn’t all about Republicans and Democrats or Wall Street corruption. I wish Obama had the guts to put some of the blame where it belongs. And that’s on the spoiled brats making up the American people. We have a sense of entitlement here. Americans believe they deserve it all and deserve it now. Whether they can afford it or not. So just charge it. Buy a house because you deserve it and its an american birthright to own a home. Someone will will give you a loan and then you’ll win the lottery or god will provide or whatever.

Didn’t work. All debts come due and if you don’t do the math and show your work you’re going to fail. That’s why I haven’t brought a house these past years when everyone was buying and telling me I had to because it’s a great investment. THose numbers never added up. Equity never added up. now many of those popel are facing foreclosure or are going to get bailed out by my losses and future tax dollars. They’re just as much to blame as the CEO’s and predatory lenders.

But entitlement means never having to say you’re sorry.

________________

Come on admit it. No matter what the polls say part of you thinks the Republicans will fix the election and steal it again.

Not that I trust polling at this time of the election year. How much of a cross representation are they? And do they really take into account electoral college votes rather than popular votes. A broad survey of American might just say a certain percentage of idiots is favoring one idiot over another idiot by whatever percentage points. But if those percentages are not affixed to individual states electoral counts what does it matter?

And didn’t Kerry and Gore lead at this time also?

PLease Barack stop telling me this is the most important election of our time. You guys said that in 04 and choked on it like the Mets in September. 04 was bigger. Much bigger. Just deal with it America. Retrospectively 2000 was bigger than both 04 and 08 combined though we couldn’t know just how much at the time. But 04 was bigger at the time and retrospectively. I wanted that one so bad I could taste it. I know Kerry would lose despite the polling but it was close enough I allowed myself to hope. And i wanted it bad and was commensurately disappointed when it didn’t happen.

I’m not going there now. McCain would not be as bad as Bush. That’s more bullshit Obama rhetoric and he knows it. He is far less full of it than McCain but let’s stop making him out to be Truth & Justice incarnate. The scary thing is a potential Palin presidency if McCain can’t make it through 4-8 years. That could be a catastrophe. That’s what Democrats should be talking about because it remains the single biggest difference between two candidates that aren’t half as different as they are making themselves out to be.

________

And pragmatism.

Look it up. Read your history.

________

A guy who actually writes for the Wall Street Journal actually said taxes are un-american and that the country was built on not paying them. He mentioned the Boston Tea PArty. The Wall Street Journal!

Dude, the slogan was not “No taxation!” It was “No taxation without representation!” THey didn’t have an issue with being taxed. They had an issue with being taxed by a sovereign across an ocean without and say or freedoms. Once we formed our own nation the founding dudes installed taxes. Washington even killed some americans for not wanting to pay them.

Seriously someone who writes for the WSJ should know this shit. BUt right wing ideology real does seem to make people stupid and put some amazing ass big blinders on.

________________

TV:

I loved Pushing Daisies last year but it’s kind of boring me now. It hurts me to say this. THe show needs an arc. Some internal mythology beyond the one note touch the dead thing. Bring back Pee Wee Herman.

Heroes is some of the stupidest stuff on the tv. Show makes no sense. Just from an internal logic angle. None. I can’t watch it anymore. I wish people would watch Mad Men more so I can talk about it.

Jack Bauer is coming. Look busy.

I think Galactica airs the next minute of their final season this week. I hear next weeks minute really rocks! I can’t wait until 2034 when all the minutes have aired.

Did I mention sci fi channel sucks?

MSNBC is sometimes like Fox Left OF The Dial. Can’t someone on tv let people form their own opinions? I like having an outlet like them sometimes but I hate seeing some good folks there like Keith Olberman and Rachel Maddow carry on like ideology is strictly a GOP invention and that having the same stable of cheerleaders on board constitutes a broad spectrum or reportage.

_______________

I want a t shirt that says I’m voting for “That one,” with a picture of Obama.

____________

Seriously, how may Republicans do you think have masturbated over shagging Palin? She is literally their wet dream come true. Surface gloss, dirty underneath the librarian cover with a the all-off stain remover of Jesus to make it ok, stupid enough to believe whatever they suggest, would probably let them call her, “mommy,” nice boobies, and a predilection for skull fucking.

Ok I sort of made up that last one. As far as I know. But the rest rings too true and I’m sure many a GOP bedsheet has needed extra laundering the past 6 weeks.

Sarah Palin Really Is A Maverick Even If Her Constituency Believes That Means She’s From Dallas.

Published on October 4, 2008 in Uncategorized. 0 Comments

Seriously, she’s redefined the political debating forum. Apparently I’ve been wrong about the whole debating procedure all these years. And it seems people are ok with it. So what do I know? I thought when you agreed to debate someone in a moderated forum you were agreeing to, you know, debate someone. And answer the questions the moderator asks.

But Palin, maverick that she is, pushed the envelope on weak and tired ideas like agreements and actually answering the questions asked of you. No not Sarah who again proved that curiosity and intellect are not requirements to being viable Presidential candidates. Instead of playing by the rules she at least ostensibly agreed to play by, Palin announces early on that she’s not there to really debate Biden or answer the moderators questions but instead talk about what she’s there to talk about.

THis of course meant that she only wanted to talk about what she was carefully trained to talk about and rehearsed for weeks leading up to the debate.

As Gordon Gordo Cooper said when he pushed the envelop of space flight, “Oh Lord what a heavenly light.” And America has seen Palin’s light because even the pundits who didn’t think she did a good job or lost the debate haven’t raised an issue with this strategy. What the fuck, Reagan did it. I may be remembering wrong but wasn’t that was he did with Carter basically? All that “well, there you go again,” crap that has become immortalized as what passes for genius in Republican circles. Wasn’t Carter basically just, you know, answering questions and raising real issues?

Again?

But the bar is raised so fucking low in this country all she had to do was not stand there staring at the camera like Cindy Brady on that quiz show.

She didn’t answer questions, she squeezed in her prepared information where it wasn’t appropriate like a 5th grader who doesn’t understand the work but memorizes it and uses those childish rhetorical tools to stall and stretch out the little they know.

And she was a success because she didn’t piss herself? She helped the party at the least. Didn’t hurt it at worst.

THis is your Republican Party America. When not drooling and moaning “Uhh duh,” during a debate or coming off as some random passersby pulled off the street furthers the cause.

Like that mediocre student cramming for a test or oral presentation I wonder how much of this stuff she’ll retain given what appears to be a Bushian lack of curiosity. But I guess he’s proven you don’t have to be informed, curious, interested, or bogged down by facts to be President. But hey she can play act folksy like he did; A lifelong millionaire who convinced people he’d sit and chat with them in a bar and have stuff in common.

Yeah a fuckin’ Palin Presidency should be a real hoot!

Have we truly reached the point where America is just one big reality show and people want to vote for themselves to assuage their particular combination of ego and inferiority? Is her hanging out with Witch hunting pastors and participating in ceremonies with him going to make her more eccentric and interesting instead of scary? Does a complete lack of interest in the world to the point where you can’t name a Supreme Court decision not biblically related, or name one lousy political periodical make you more appealing because it’s relatable to the “Joe Sixpacks,” who want to look in their mirrors and see Presidential timbre there rather than ignorant white trash with a mediocre mind and increasingly hopeless life?

Sweet dancing Moses she thinks Dick Cheney’s biggest mistake was shooting someone in the face! And that the press treated him unfairly even in that regard by making a joke out of it.

Sarah baby, making a caricature of him over that was the best thing they could do for him because it destigmitized it with laughter and cartoon despictions rather than concentrating on the very real world fact that he SHOT A MAN IN THE FACE, and ducked town for a day afterwards before talking to police quite possibly because he was drunk when he did it.

You ever hear about that part of it Sarah you SUV exhaust pipe fucking zealot?

If not thank the media don’t damn them.

But of course that’s part of the strategy. From the convention on up the Republicans have pulled out the whole “the liberal media hates us,” so don’t listen to them in the weeks ahead when and if they call attention to our blatant lies, past hypocrisy, and general incompetence. They know their shit stinks so to combat the smell reaching the voters they brainwash them to believe that the hounds noses are too upturned to know what real shit smells like.

I know I’m knocking my head against a wall. I raged against this kind of shit going into the 2000 campaign, 2004 and through 8 years of through the looking glass political madness with this outrageous administration. No one cares. I get that. America is stupid and proud of it. I get that too. It’s just that a person needs to vent and every once in a while I allow a glimmer of hope to crawl to the surface of the turgid swamp that is my “soul.” I want to still hang on to some belief that the Bush years was a blip on the radar screen of a mostly forward ascent into greater enlightenment in our history. That we’re not heading towards becoming a comic book country with increasingly more cartoonish leaders who make outlandish story lines turn real. I want to believe the forces of darkness and irrationality are diminishing and just having a last gasp (as well as being better organized) rather than growing.

Ahh maybe I just need more sex.

Something the Palin family is actually qualified to perform and talk about.

So fuck you everyone. I don’t want to get hurt by you again America, I’m just going to give in right here. Fuck you and your stupid mentality. You win. A Palin presidency is in the offing after MCCain drops dead or is incapacitated by a stroke. Good for you you fucking idiots. You deserve every miserable thing happening to you and she won’t change that. Take your simple minded god shit and flag waving impotence and ride yourselves and your reality show candidates right down the shitter you stupid twits. Put it on your credit cards. It’s all free that way and you deserve it all and now! Don’t you you dumbasses? I guess I deserve them too because I’ll be right here with you. No where to run or hide. But at least I’m not going to be disappointed. Or in debt.

Ahh fuck I just saw CNN talking sensibly about Palin’s shortcomings and that polls are looking decent at the moment. And it allowed me to hope again. Fuck you, even those I respect and who would respect me. Fuck you for making me hope Obama might win and Palin disappear into wacky political footnote like McGovern or Quale.

Not that Obama is all that special. But comparatively and all. All this back and forth is bullshit. On both sides. Neither can admit they ever made a bad decision or congressional vote. No one can admit to changing their minds about a topic. No one can admit the other side was right on anything. They’er all full of shit of course. What it comes down to is wanting the most intelligent person who can look and analyze the facts at hand without squeezing them into a preconceived ideology and then make rational decisions influenced by advisors appointed based on merit. A pragmatist. THis is all I ask. And when looked at that way there is no doubt Obama is the guy in play here most likely to do these things. He even used the word pragmatist! I almost came in my pants. I can’t remember the last time a candidate used that word. THis is my holy grail of political characterizations. It was a word that fundamentally describes Lincoln. It was a foundational principle of the founding fathers and those that built are judicial and legislative systems.

But now you have to believe in something and never waver. Like a country of post high school losers who run from any bit of information that reveals they maybe stopped learning and changing a bit too fast. And yeah I blame religion in part. Belief is such a necessary thing here. And belief, or faith, is all about the status quo and acceptance. It’s about being proud of what you learned when you were a child and adolescent. We are in a country that treats a politician learning new things and supplementing what you know like a bad thing. They should have an ideology that helps organize their chaotic minds like everyone else and stick to it. Or else all is chaos if you have to revise and think through things a bit. So we have a political forum where terms like waffling have become the political equivalent of pedophilia.

So fuck you. Again and again. With Bristol’s baby daddy’s hockey stick. Fuck you and your ignorance and your collosal egos that need to see your own stupidity in not only your entertainment but now in your leaders. Me I want an elitist as a leader. I thought the point was having your best in those positions. I don’t want someone just like me. I want someone more competent. The American presidency is not middle management at 7-11. I want a president who reflects that. But what the fuck it’s been such a great 8 years for the economy, invention, environment, and foreign relations why not do it all over again.

There’s a comfort in that.

You stupid fuckers.
