OK, then just give up, crawl under a rock and die, OK?

Please join all the other defeatists in a hole and just roll over. So, what’s the point? Either you are a nihilist or a liberal.

I don’t get my optimism from politicians. I have great hope and confidence in the goodness and intelligence of average Americans.

First, we don’t have a king. Second, cliches are not insights.

It isn’t? Geez, if “the King is naked (whatever that means) and we’re all doomed, defeated, overwhelmed and on Big Brother’s Lists (whatever that means) why not go into oblivion happily? If we are both going to end up dead, how does being angry and bitter make the journey more enjoyable than being happy and optimistic?

I can spell. I chose the Texas pronounciation on purpose. Anyway, I never said you had to listen to me. I don’t care if anyone agrees with me or not. I know what I believe and I’m OK with it. Life’s too short to be bitter and unhappy.

So, why are you here if you think everything is just fine and nothing of significance needs changing? Do your really think this is just a GOP cheerleading squad? You need to go to the front page and read Jim’s statement as to why he keeps this site alive.

While phony righteous run around and insult the people that brung them?

I would rather find a cave or a cabin in the woods than hang with the people that we ended up with, who told us they were one thing and turned out to be another.

You got it. Have to find goodness and humor in the simple things when the world is going to hell.

The girlfriend’s dog rolled in some nice, ripe manure this morning. He’s usually a terror in the tub and can sense when his time is near by hightailing it out of the house.

Today, I filled the tub first, set everything up then lured him inside with a piece of meat, hooked the leash to him and walked him to the bathroom. By the time he knew what was going on I had booted him inside the bathroom, shut the door,tossed him in the tub and thoroughly doused him.

The shock of his predicament was enough to ward off the usual splashfests that are his baths as he accepted defeat with as much dignity that a dog has.

It was a small victory but the best one I had today.

Please tell me this is some obscure, Edwardian spelling of “Republican”.

You can if you open the windows.

But beware...if you order the pineapple, there could be trouble.
