OMG... I was overliked at dinner by the couple at the next table.

Bear with me.

I didn't know them, they didn't know me, they didn't gush over me, I don't think they even noticed me, and I didn't speak to them nor they to me.

But they DID annoy me. Their conversation.... You don't really WANT to tune in to what your neighbors are saying, but sometimes in close proximity you can't NOT hear it. Maybe I shouldn't be so irritable but it becomes like nails on a blackboard.

I call it being "overliked". You've probably also been overliked.

I'll explain by posting a bit of what the young fellow was saying to his friend:

"So, I was LIKE watching this documentary, and it was LIKE about immigration, and I sort of LIKE felt sorry for those people because I'm sure it must be LIKE terrifying to come a strange place because LIKE your own country is so bad LIKE. And Ford LIKE doesn't make cars anymore, because LIKE they're moving to all truck and SUV production because that's LIKE the future. LIKE, LIKE, LIKE, LIKE, LIKE, LIKE....."

What is it with this Like Generation? Granted... we had our "um's" and "you know's"... is "LIKE" supposed to be a step up from those? It's ANNOYING AS HELL.

And you really, really, really want to lean over and say "young man, you say LIKE too much"... but you don't because you don't want to cause a scene, or admit that you were listening to them even though it was entirely not your fault, nor hurt some feelings, and they seem to be otherwise very fine people. Really unlikable, though.

And now I lay me down to sleep

I pray we thwart a fucking creep
If he should die before I wake
I'll buy myself champagne and cake.

Accepting foreign help IS a violation of Federal campaign law, is it not?

So was that within the purview of Mueller's investigation? And wouldn't acceptance of such aid be AUTOMATIC proof of conspiracy with Russia to commit a crime?

And why wasn't this question asked by committee?

Fucking amateurs.

I feel IMPRISONED by this heat.

Don't know what to do with myself.

Is wine bullshit?

Don't get me wrong... I like wine, and even love it on occasion.

But it's like feng shui to me.... remember when Penn & Teller exposed THAT as bullshit?

Got to thinking about all this as I watched "Bottle Shock" on Netflix last night. (miss you, Alan Rickman!)

When we take over all three branches can we please go metric?

I mean, really.

Vacationed in Canada this past month and there are SO many things they laugh at us about.

Campaign slogan idea: "America is Better than This"

What do you think?

At debate I would make trump's head explode.

So could anybody else with even just a modicum of intelligence and gumption.

Moderator: "Do you support pay equality for women?"

Goodheart: "Well, I've never been accused of rape, and I've never been caught on tape assaulting women, so my perspective is probably different from that of my opponent's, but yes, of course."

Moderator: "Do you support prison reform?"

Goodheart: "Well, Michael Cohen is in prison for the exact same thing my opponent did, so, yes, of course, I would support reforms that mean equal treatment of criminals."

and so forth.

Honestly, I can't see that trump would ever agree to debate the Democratic nominee unless his narcissism tells him that he can conquer any stage..... OK, well, I guess I believe that he WILL agree to debate.

So my advice to the DNC? Don't pussyfoot. Go for the jugular. Make him have a siezure onstage.

I just witnessed a Jeopardy blunder

I thought the champion would go far. But his Final Jeopardy wager was weird.

The big news today was that for the first time in our history a man in the White House was branded

as racist.

But how does Fox News report this truly astounding development?

"The Democrat-controlled House of Representatives passed a resolution Tuesday evening condemning President Trump's "racist" remarks this weekend -- although the moment was largely overshadowed by a dramatic floor fight earlier in the day that ended with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ruled out of order for a breach of decorum."


Want to know what's really shadowed, Fox? Your face by trump's ass.
