I found out Donald Trump had won the Electoral College while midstream in providing a urine sample for the emergency psychiatric staff of a New York City public hospital. The unlockable bathroom door in this unescapable wing was ajar, and I could hear the victorious Mike Pence’s sinister Sunday-school baritone taunting me with the truth from the hallway television.
For the preceding witching hours of election night, I had lain in a fetal position amidst a cast of anonymous men nursing their own crises, my hands clasped tightly over my ears. It wasn’t that I minded the howls of the guy nearby who was shackled to his cot and monitored by an unimpressed brood of policemen. Instead, I wanted to spare myself any word of the far greater insanity unfolding beyond the hospital walls.
Drained of tears, too tired to sleep, I stared at the fluorescent ceiling lights —which, indifferent to our suffering, remained on throughout the night — and endured the passing time by willing my thoughts to vanish into the dull glow. For a second, I imagined someone would burst in and proclaim, “It’s all right, Hillary won!” and I would bound out of bed, awoken from this nightmare.
This was all just a dream, right?
A while before, during the final hour of November 8, I had committed myself to institutional psychiatric care. A generation or two ago they would have said I was suffering a nervous breakdown: catatonic, plagued by involuntary jerking motions (my head furiously shaking “No! ”), speech patterns disjointed, weeping uncontrollably.

By that I assume you mean one of the 50 varieties of sexual deviants, or a talking walking pervert from San Francisco?
I just read what was in the post - but yes, very readable. Hard to believe it isn't satire. And his writing style, as well as him being gay - I doubt he really is a science journalist.
“This newly created chemical, using carbon as the base, resembles huddled clusters of refugees floating on an aimless sea of dispair.”
Try whiskey Mr. Ryan. It worked for me for much of the eight years.
There was nothing wrong with him. Being a crushed snowflake is not a psychiatric illness compared to the other patients there. They kept him for three days which is the maximum allowable for a self-admittance.
All of us here on FR were a little bit upset back in 2008 when Obama won, but nothing on this scale. Dear Lord, the Libs are certifiable.
What is truly frightening, no hyperbole intended, it this guy is a Science Journalist!
That goes a long way towards explaining the unhinged, juvenile, absolute panic at the phrase "Climate Change..."
The nurse said “you don’t belong in here” as he left.
The f*ck he doesn’t! He’s a f8xking nut case and needs to be locked up and the key thrown away.
Really enjoyed this article. Just thinking of the faux angst this drammaqueen felt brought a smile to my face.
He’ll feel much better once he’s “cured” by Trump’s mandatory “Heal them through Gospel Music” initiative.
Muahahahaha!!!!
Humans were not meant to live on a velvet cushion with all of our whims met. We are meant to have real challenges to meet and overcome. It keeps us mentally healthy.
If we have no real challenges in our lives we become.... well, whatever this person is.
A hopeless mess.
I honestly feel sorry for him. He has no real identity outside of other people.
No kidding!
In the meantime, I’m meeting some friends for dinner and I’m thinking it could liven things up if I bound into the space in a frolic of an outfit.
>>Sure enough, just as I bolted back to the VIP area, I got a text from a worried friend who had spotted me on MSNBC. “Are you alright?” he asked.
“I want to die,” I replied.<<
This article is EXTREMELY timely. My schadenboner was starting to droop just a little after a week of recount nonsense (although when the recount blows back I shall expect raising expectations).
Every paragraph this snowflake wrote made me happier and happier. By mid-article I was LOL. By then end I was all but ROTFLOL. The Suicide Hotline plug was a FANTASTIC CAP! — it would be funny if the phone number sent them to the NRA.
The comments just started the cycle all over.
The winning! It never stops!
Wow, really? Gee, I never would've suspected that.
No. Really.
DANG!
Good, now he can’t own a gun.
The WINNER!!!!
:-)
John, I actually double-checked to see if it was one of your masterful postings.
But, it's not. And the sad part, he actually thinks he is a sympathetic character.
