The crazy thing about all of this is the country is on the verge being lost just because democrats have had a horrid string of backing the wrong horse for a decade. That’s it. Not some grand battle of ideas lost.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.” Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

The thinner tree was cut down years ago, and the larger one has been supporting and feeding it since then. They "wake up" together in the spring and "go to sleep" together in the autumn. This natural phenomenon is known as inosculation.

America should ban professional sports until we sort out this fascism thing. We clearly cannot walk & chew gum at the same time. Our incessant need to be entertained is killing us. Those bombers that fly over football stadiums will soon drop payloads on our own citizens. The rockets red glare.

Here's the thing: The thing we've been lacking in the post-modern world is community. We're about to have it. A lot of it. Audis didn't make us happy. OLED TVs didn't either.
