Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Y'all, does it make me a bad person to wish that something would happen to Mitch McConnell?

This morning on the radio, they played a sound clip of Johnny Depp saying something about John Wilkes Booth and "the last time an actor killed the president," and I found myself thinking about the practicalities of it and whether it would be a good thing*. Now, I know I'm a good person; these are just seriously f*cked up times we're living in. So no, not a bad person. Unless you actually take action to MAKE something bad happen to him. Then, we might need to reassess.

*Is it wrong that I barely worried about the morality of it, but mostly just thought that it would be a mistake to make a martyr of him?

Trump is dangerous by virtue of the position he ended up in thanks to racists and apparently Russians. But he's also ignorant. Mitch McConnell is the motherfucking DEVIL, and I hope that very bad things happen to him. Often.

THAT would be an awesome birthday present.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm at Midway airport on my way to CA.

Been feeling a little better, but I suspect I have an ulcer based on my black stool this morning.

Oh tommyrot, peaceful travels. Take care of yourself.

Yeah, gotta make a Dr. appointment as soon as I get back.

Thanks, Laura. Now I don't have to worry about lunch. That mental image destroyed my appetite.

Sorry, Fred. It would please me the most if that particular devil stays healthy but watches his career and reputation go down in flames with any appalling to the right scandal. Resigning in disgrace to never be heard from again. This is a fate I wish for many on Capitol Hill.

Shit, the jury is deadlocked in the Sam Dubose retrial. They told the judge and she told them to go back and work it out.

No way this is going to end with a conviction. Fuck.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Maybe they'll fall in love and run away to a deserted island together where there is no internet or phone line! That way nobody gets hurt and WE ALL WIN.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Seconded.
