I had truly excellent English teachers in high school.  And I didn't take AP. But DaN was part of the curriculum.  I need to re-read it.

It really sucks for those kids. Their drunk mom and dipshit right-winger father have really set them up for hardship and trauma.

The wife says the reports of his death are not true.

The only potatoes she cares about are the ones that make vodka.

True.  I bet her new suitors are amazed at how healthy she is. “American woman has all teeth and belly not too distended.. Only three childs…..can have 6 or 7 more.”

Looks like he enlisted before he got drafted.

 

My read of it too.  I thought he said that he signed up to take advantage of the enlistment bonus and fast track to his whole family getting citizenship.  He listened to the recruiter's promises and fell hook line and sinker.

What's really sad is that when a leopard does eat someone's face in Curtis and they survive, they won't have a hospital to help them recover.

They are getting exactly what they voted for and they are getting it good and hard

I keep repeating something I read a long while back, the country changed when people started thinking of themselves as taxpayers rather than citizens. I finally got off my lazy ass and ran it down. I think the place I read it must have been quoting this piece in Harpers 2016.

 

Quote

There has been a fundamental shift in American consciousness. The Citizen has become the Taxpayer. In consequence of this shift, public assets have become public burdens. These personae, Citizen and Taxpayer, are both the creations of political rhetoric. (It now requires an unusual degree of historical awareness to know that both politics and rhetoric were once honorable things.) An important aspect of human circumstance is that we can create effective reality merely by consenting to the phantasms of the moment or of the decade. While the Citizen can entertain aspirations for the society as a whole and take pride in its achievements, the Taxpayer, as presently imagined, simply does not want to pay taxes. The societal consequences of this aversion — failing infrastructure, for example — are to be preferred to any inroad on his or her monetary fiefdom, however large or small.

It’s ridiculous what rightwing media has done to the people of our country.

You could post this observation on every thread on this board, and you'd be hammer-hitting-nail almost every time.
