  1. I wanted to write in Fish for President, a.k.a. Dwayne, but the election is too close in my state, and I had to vote for Biden, somewhere along that Nazi belt line from Alaska to Florida.

    I can’t wait for this thing to be over. We will know the outcome in just under 7 x 24 hours. And think of how happy we will all be if 88% heads, 12% tails (Nate Silver – FiveThirtyEight) ends up heads! It’s still close though, because a simulation doesn’t lie, and 12% of those 100 coins turns up tails. But, if Trump will lose, we will all be happier than we have ever been! And we will all sigh relief that we got the sack of shit Joe Biden. And all those in Whoville will rejoice if the Democrats take the Senate and the House too, because we can all return to the simpler life that we knew before 2016 when all those who suffered, all those who pained, did so in the quiet of their solitude and existence as they and all they knew some other who suffered too. And we get back to normal with our opioid epidemic and the crushing automization (word?) and globalization of the economy that leaves so many of us searching for work and healthcare if we get sick. And we can relax knowing that we aren’t fool’in ourselves with MAGA because that was a billionaire con-artist’s slogan, and we can believe again in just life under polluted skies and declining ecology with the fish, insect, and large animal stocks in steep decline. And we can relax knowing our stores can still stock up on oranges, onions, ice cream and California Pizza Kitchen gourmet pizzas. And who needs zebras, salmon and apricots anyways? And we can begin to rejoice again at the normalcy we had prior to 2016, when there was peace as the pine beetles infested our forests and turned them green to brown because we could still take a drive through the mountains and catch the fresh air. And we can dance again like we did when Zika was still sort of unknown, and babies were born with regular round heads most of the time.

    I can’t wait! 88% of the way there!

    America has very good candidates for president with good platforms that will help the country get back on track. The trouble is, they are not permitted in the race. All candidates are stripped of their effectiveness such that only the ones who protect the status quo are allowed to run. You have either coke or pepsi, and no (badly needed) glass of water. Nor can the populace compel a candidate that will be in their best interests. The country is in deep trouble.

  3. I hope it’s not inevitable Fish

  4. Tom Waits’ new hit song …. “Laptop Joe.”

  5. To get better we need to develop some better candidates – and don’t give me that Bernie shit – old farts have got to go – Harris is a first step in maybe getting some change then so far we only have one to go to — Cortez. We need to develop MORE to choose from or any real change is doomed.

    1. we need boomers to develop better political opinions than this.

      1. Step in mother fucker!

        1. You think Harris represents the change we need? Because what? Her skin color? Her vagina? We had a plethora of identities to choose from in the primary; all of them with carbon copy politics. They’d all govern the way Biden would. Other than Bernie, who’d actually challenge power. Fight power, old fart.
