And people are expected to act like it’s OK, And they’re supposed to just take it on faith that he’s not gonna go apeshit cuckoo and start shooting everybody up?

God, this country is fucked up.

God, I hate the Republican Party. And many Republicans.

Had Baron von Richthofen been born a century after he actually was, he would be just an Xbox addict.

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.

---The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

What it means:

Once you have sent an email, you can’t undo it. No matter if you do a “Recall” and it’s successful. Its ghost is still out there somewhere, somebody could’ve read it/saved it, in the nanosecond between your SEND and your RECALL. Someone probably did.

What THAT means, in practical terms:

Think carefully before you hit SEND.

Now, I know every state already has a state song. But I heard a song on the radio yesterday about a particular state (I didn’t include that one here because its theme isn’t very pleasant) and I got to thinking, how about if some states were to change their state songs to something more relevant, more tuneful, or just different?

Here are my suggestions:

SC “Myrtle Beach Days”

Alabama “Sweet Home Alabama” (of course)

Kentucky “Blue Moon of Kentucky”

Delaware “What Did Delaware?”

Oklahoma “Oklahoma Hills” (OK, I know it’s the state folk song. But I think it ought to beat out Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Oklahoma.”

Kansas “Dust in the Wind”

California "Surfin USA"


Louisiana "Born on the Bayou"
