  1. Elementary school in Durango, Colorado had maple longjohns that I have been pining for ever since. The maple glazed donuts at NC Jelly Donuts are close but not quite. Everything else they served was shit, though.
  2. Sigh. Is it too soon to start saying "Hail Hydra" and hope the cabal buys it?
  3. Y'all really need to have faith in the much more optimistic scenario: a supervolcano erupts, bringing on an extinction level event in the form of a decade-long winter.
  4. When I was in middle school, I was the coiffure outlier -- the only kid in Kingsville who didn't feather his hair. Good God, the 70s were dorky. Anyway, I got asked where I got my hair cut. "Mr. Lantana's shop." The other kids hadn't heard of it. I gave them the address, which was followed by a shocked "You get your hair cut in Blacktown?!" Looking back on it, the fact of segregation was bad enough, but "Blacktown"?? I mean, how creative can you get? Anyway, I only went there at first because it was within walking distance of my house, and I kept going back because I liked them, and they seemed to like me. And like my wife says, "Being popular is easy; you just have to think everybody is great."
  5. Hate is too strong a word. I am disappointed by his refusal to admit the nature of the intransigence he was dealing with. And I was appalled by his Iraq and Afghanistan belligerence. But even though he was a classic centrist, he was as far to the left as it was possible to drag the Democratic Party at the time. And he was a good and honorable man. There's not enough of those in public life, regardless of political leanings. Character matters.
  6. Well, to be fair, a pretty large contingent of Democrats have been owned by Big Pharma down through the years, too. It's why significant reform has been virtually impossible.
  7. Clearly the deaths per number is not 2020 to date like the total deaths number is. This is why you should always show your work. Meanwhile, unvaccinated Trumpers are more likely to die, solely based on being morons. Fuck 'em.
