time) and have several Army doctors look up his rectum. The most
Dadaist moment of his life.

You got that right. And why should they ?

What kind of La La Land do you live in anyway where the 48% of
the people who feel screwed, ****ed and betrayed by their own
goddamn countrymen are now supposed to act like nothing ever
happened ? Besides being stupid, that would be downright
unpatriotic !

So get used to it. There will be protests at the inauguration,
there will be calls for impeachment, there will be hell-raising
from sea to shining sea and some of it will appear here in your
favorite fishing group.

Love it or leave it, Frankie baby.

In any case, I'd like to take this politically motivated post as an
opportunity to say thanks to all who have served in our military. I
don't see that as some kind of political football, but as a sacrifice I
appreciate. Thanks, guys.

Do try to keep up, Mark. The first shot was fired long before I arrived

Love and bombs away,
