I was going to say something about Steve Scalise. I will not do so because, like most atheists, I am VERY superstitious.

what a bunch of fuckups, huh? when I speculate about how things would be if these guys had any intelligence or competence, I stop. my mind just doesn't want to go there.

what continues to appall me is the fact that, practically speaking, there are two "versions" of reality. not two realities, just VERSIONS. my "friend upstairs" (who's fortunately been out of my hair for a long stay in his native Padua) was trying to tell me a few months bac k that we now live in a "post-reality world." when I insisted that there IS such a thing as phenomenal reality, he disagreed. he's a goodhearted guy and definitely a lot nicer than I am, but he's also an idiot.

thing is, we know what they're hearing and saying but it certainly feels like they're not reciprocating. if they were a tad better informed, would we be better or worse off? that's a serious question. in the meantime "let's impeach someone...ANYONE" doesn't look like anything I'd recognize as "governing."

Mike Johnson is pathetic enough to inspire pity, but he gets no pity here. fuck him.
