On A Sunday Evening

So Desiderata is making the rounds again, and I just can't let that shit go unchallenged - not when there's this:

LOL, I missed this line! "Dr. Carson, I'm sorry we have to go to a commercial. The free market wants what it wants."

I speak Spanish. I speak Spanish real bueno. #GOPDebate

Rubio: I don’t know what he said on Univision because he doesn’t speak Spanish.
Cruz: RESPONDS IN SPANISH #GOPDebate pic.twitter.com/5eAQeZekfx

#GOPDebate Carson: We have all the government "regulators" enforcing "rules". Crazy, right? I mean, you leave one sponge in one skull...

Bravo to the Disney Imagineers on the incredibly life like Rubio from the "Hall of Never Will Be Presidents." #GOPDebate

I Wow, Cruz closes by claiming he's fighting for his little girls' liberties as he promises to abolish abortion. #GOPDebate

"Conservative" icon Antonin Scalia dies, and we can absolutely count on at least one of his fellow "conservatives" to pay him great honor and respect by tweeting out a picture that's NOT Antonin Scalia.

Senator Ron Johnson is a seriously doltish meathead who probably couldn't find his ass with a guide and a fucking GPS.

The good news is that Russ Feingold is back and could end up kicking this turd muffin to the curb.

Seriously - what the fuck is wrong with these guys?

The pinnacle of historical esteem is when people write songs about you and your exploits.  I guess there's some kind of opposite thing happening when they do it as satire(?)

Today's Tweet

Guests on Diane Rehm show talking about “enormity” of support for Trump. Hope they’re using the word on purpose.

— James Fallows (@JamesFallows) February 12, 2016

It takes a writer like Fallows to see the "enormity" of the problem and then express it in fewer words rather than more.

So, of course, I had to bop over to Fox Nation to check on the reactions of the Guano Clan - and also too because trolling those mush-brains is just too damned fun.
