"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Happy Feet Friday
Lionel Hampton and his band bring the happy jive with Star Rocket.
The recent spate of (ongoing) demonstrations in Brazil were basically against the political class. They have a proportional representation system with 32 parties, and no one actually votes for the government they get as the deals are made in private.
Is it possible that a similar disapprobation could occur in the US with general disgust of the political class?
Nope, and thank God. Nobody wants 32 meaningless parties with corruption uber alles. Nobody with a soul anyway. 2 parties are enough, with each one kicking the nuts of the other. Easier to keep track of.
So the only real friend I've made in the last 20 years tonight accused me of racism for opposing Obamacare. I told him fuck you and walked out. I've always known he was a lefty and vice versa but until tonight we've worked around it. Just thought I'd share. I don't make many friends.
Know the feeling very well, Jonah. Maybe Paco's is like the bar at the end of the universe, where we 'rejects' can hang out after yelling at TVs and such.
