because I really don't know anymore.
The lunatics are running the asylum and I am tired of it.
I was just very glad to have gotten a solid nights sleep. So here I am reading the news of the day and it is all the same.
Well it isn;t the same, it is a lot crazier now than it ever has been, it appears.
Foreign policy opposition has been reduced to this:
And that was after she compared #BlackLivesMAtter to dogs.
And people cheered. They cheered.
How does one conquer this kind of outright hatred?

Foreign policy opposition has been reduced to this:
“Obama never even clenched a fist against a wicked regime where anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial is official ideology, and with state-sanctioned torture and killing of women just because they’re women,” Palin said. “Nothing has really changed, except Hillary Clinton back then she insisted that Iran is seeking nukes but now she says, eh, that’s OK. She spins faster than thousands of Iranian centrifuges.”
The former Alaska governor continued her rant against the president, saying, “Only in an Orwellian Obama world full of sprinkly fairy dust blown from atop his unicorn as he’s peeking through a really pretty pink kaleidoscope would he ever see victory or safety for America or Israel in this treaty ... You don’t reward terrorism, you kill it.”
And that was after she compared #BlackLivesMAtter to dogs.
And people cheered. They cheered.

Morning 
I've wondered that myself. Its overwhelming, like a tidal wave of willful ignorance, and its tiring. Part of me wonders if they haven't just worn us done.

Ms Palin, would you please document any and all acts of terrorism that Iran has directed at American and its citizens. I'm waiting. No, not through Iran's support of Hammas at Israel. At.America.And.Its.Citizens.
That's how. By questioning every stupid fucking thing that comes out of her mouth. Same for Trump, et al.
On the bright side: Michael Stipe tells Donald Trump to go fuck himself. . Yeah, more Republicans busted for using music without the creator's permission. Of course all they listened to was the chorus, well part of the chorus. Why doesn't this happen to Democrats, he said rhetorically.

Fortunately, I missed Palin's verbal diarrhea yesterday. I do remember hearing 3 "intro" songs (including REM's) and thinking "Oh I KNOW they didn't get permission to use THAT one"

Mornin' all.. 
Much better today! It's raining, but we haven't had rain in a while and it's being followed by cool, dry air! And my shoulder doesn't hurt anymore and I got some good sleep last night.
I'll admit that I'm extremely worn down by this political climate, to the point where I'm sure you guys have noticed I've retreated further into gaming. I'm almost at the point where I don't even want to hear or see the most recent outrage anymore or how it's worse than the last one.

TriSec has buried himself in the local scene. I'm reaching the point where even Dr. maddow is working my last nerve. (If I want Trump all the time, i can watch Fox).

Palin is obviously wrong here.
We reward economic terrorism.

I don't know.
I'd consider "busted" more like being served with a lawsuit for copyright infringement. That's the only way you'll stop this. Where's the RIAA enforcing public performance?
By the bye, now I see reports that Fuckleberry and the SheBeast I can't name were sued for $1.2M by Survivor. But the first time I saw that was on a fake news site. Now Ring of Fire has picked up on it.
Bleh. Fuck the NFL. Fuck Thursday Night Football.

Raine, I would sugest that what we need to do is educate the public. We are unlikely to convince Sarah Palin of the errors of her ways. However, we can present facts and talk to the public at large.
In some good news, I am waiting to hear back on two long term subbing assignments.

So, terrestrial radio is dead.
I got a trial subscription to XM in the new car - I think I only have listened to WBZ over the airwaves since then. (Local news & traffic).
Last time I had the Sox on, I was on the MLB feed. (Although I switched back to the local broadcast after a couple of innings.)
Which means I'll probably can my MLB.com subscription after this season - I'm paying twice for the same content now.
