I was feeling nostalgic this morning for how much I used to hate GWB. I would take that back if it meant being out of the present situation.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Now I want to make a shrub.
It couldn't be easier -- just takes time.

I mostly want to remember how much I used to hate him and not let him get retroactively softened.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am not watching his stupid racist roadshow this evening. Or listening. Gonna rewatch some Sherlock instead.

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, much of that tenure started our current mess. The 2000 election debacle undermined confidence in the election system. The Iraq insanity undermined our status in the world and made the terrorism situation that much worse.
Part of my rewrite finds him a pawn for more evil players, much like Trump is a pawn for Putin. That excuses neither of them for their actions.
Yeah, not over it.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Consuela, I hope you can figure out a plan, even if it's temporary. So many people I know are in this same boat and it's heartbreaking reading how it's affecting them.
Not watching broadcast TV tonight. Fuck 45, and everything that helped make his administration possible.

I keep seeing websites with "Watch Live!" and my response is always "Can't Make Me!"

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Had to unfriendly TCG's aunt on Facebook because she was forwarding stuff to his mother, which set off this current round of crazy. I may have to shutdown Facebook all together, and I'm going to switch my Twitter account to private. Also I fell at the bookstore where I went to try to improve my mood and now hurt all over. This day can bite me.

Herding cats for fun
Crazy relatives using Facebook to make people miserable, you say?
My cousin's wife takes the cake for bringing Facebook aggression into the real world. She decided to take offense at everything I posted and ended up calling my sister and having a tantrum about something so insignificant I can't remember what it was. She ended up claiming I'd been sent by Satan especially to hurt her family.
I don't miss having Facebook after all that trauma.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Man, I'm such an aggressive jackhole that I would double down on the "offensive" Facebook posts if someone threw a real-world tantrum about it.
