I was a Republican for a very long time. Over 26 years to be exact. But the party I supported was the party that tried actually to improve the lot of average Americans in many ways. The Republican Party used to be a center-right party, conservative but mainstream. Now it’s the

This ray is separated from the other rays of the sun by means of finely adjusted instruments placed upon the roof of the huge building, three-quarters of which is used for reservoirs in which the ninth ray is stored.

The last week has been full of news of Sen Tom Cotton (douche bag-AR), the freshman Senator from Arkansas who seems not to have a perfect understanding of his place in the United States government. Worse yet is the fact that my two Senators proved themselves every bit as worthless

Today is my birthday which in the grand scheme of things is not really important-and tomorrow is the 4TH anniversary of the Tohoku Tsunami which is. If had not given up booze for lent ( and believe me I think its a big mistake tonight)-I would probably be drunk off
