It feels like the Pork Store from the Sopranos got a new location.(Except Satriale's had a nice deli in the front.) I am just...always angry. Not to mention the fact that I have forgotten what happiness or hope for the future might have felt like way before this(Don't worry, to fill the hole, I've got workshops and a bunch of thankless labor on the phones) Not to mention, even if they left it alone, Medicaid sucks. So being disabled and winning would have felt like losing.(Still better than turning folks loose to forage, or whatever they think will happen, but it's a stingy, miserable experience.)
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
constant sound of a buzz saw coming from the back of that room, and outside the store there were plastic tubs holding wrapped packages of ground turkey. Outside. In the hot weather and direct sun.
Raise your hand if you feel like spoiled turkey is the best case scenario for what's going on here.
Scare quotes seem like they might be appropriate for the "ground turkey."

Our wings are not tired.
Ugh, Epic! I'm sorry.

Oh, no, Epic. I am so sorry.

Yeah, Epic, I saw that after my rant. Tough break.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Aw Epic, I'm sorry.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Damn, Epic. That's just not fair.

Seriously, Epic, insult to injury. (Obligatory condemnation of connecting healthcare to employment)
