Feeling much better…….

Well, I got that off my chest. Sometimes you just gotta do that. And I got a good nights sleep. And soon I am headed to the airport to do one of my favorite things-travel to a far away place. Because-its a beautiful world. And anytime you are going to

Happy now?

So, are you worthless f*cKs happy now that you have had your pointless gesture? What follows is a retelling of what we all already know:  health care reform repeal is a ticket back to a system that was long ago recognized as a disaster, a ride powered by zombie lies
