So I Get A Little Bored....

Thanks to my Hell's Kitchen agent, I'm perpetually reminded that I haven't written a thing in two years. To review what we've missed together:

Go, Hillary, Go!
Sarah who?
She can't be that stupid. It's an act.
Congratulations, Mr. President!

There. Now we're caught up. It's a different world today than the bygone era of 2009 when last I wrote. Republicans are no longer people of good will with bad ideas. Now they're plain evil with bad ideas. Democrats are developing a spine at the same rate as the slower evolving species. This could get tedious.

We are still amazed at the willingness of the masses to advocate against their own best interests in the name of loyalty to a cause. That's noble when the sacrifice is for a greater good. It's just plain stupid when the sacrifice is for the greater profit of some folks who will never invite you to dinner. Are you listening, Wisconsin?

Japan is melting down. It was inevitable, I suppose. They're the only island in the world not considered a hot vacation spot. If you had to nuke one - even accidentally - this is probably the one you'd choose. We feel for the Japanese people, but perhaps next time they'll invest more heavily in beaches of the nude variety and rely less on dicey technology that has no solution if something should go terribly awry. (See: earthquake, BP, or John Kasich.)

House Republicans are reveling in their opportunity to re-christen the U.S. a theocracy. It's sad watching people in the dying throes of a losing effort. We do admit, though, that gay sex was this much hotter when sodomy was illegal. So we watch with a smidgen of ambivalence as they tilt at windmills.

Either a rhinovirus or Ebola has invaded our home in the last 24 hours, so we leave you with best wishes for your basketball bracket (we took Kansas to win it all) and an encouragement to send $10 to the effort to recall the Republican assholes who dismantled collective bargaining for most public employees in Wisconsin.
