I had to take a few days off from the blog. Harvey, Irma, and Caligula were too much for me all rolled into a fortnight. Seriously, the world seems surreal to me right now. Like I’m drunk and can’t see anything with much of any clarity. Our country has gone crazy. I can’t sleep much and I’m having some bizarre dreams.
I have to admit though, I did laugh my ass off when Caligula joined forces with Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi this week. Will it continue to happen? Maybe. Caligula likes to win and in case you haven’t noticed the Republican party despite having won all these governorships and state legislatures can’t govern. Oklahoma is a prime example. It is the most shit ass run state government imaginable. Borderline third world nation. If only Puerto Rico can become a state then Oklahoma can rank 51st in education and in overall adult stupidity. So—eventually if Caligula wants a few things on his presidential resume he might need to hook up with the Dems here and there.
The simple problem with the Republican party is simple—they are held hostage by the American Freedom Caucus and these idiots will never allow any mainstream legislation to pass through their gauntlet. Keep in mind, this group for the most part supported Ted Cruz—enough said. Math, science, reading, globalization…nah—who would need any of that bullshit.
Maybe I’ll be better when the Thunder start playing again. It’s not like I enjoy writing about this shit on my basketball blog, but it’s like watching a car burn on the side of the road. I can’t take my eyes off it even though I swear I will.
I don’t think I’ve had Reverend Al on my blog to date. This might be the right spot. Is Caligula a Dem? Nah. He’s nothing. He doesn’t believe in anything except pleasing himself. He has no ideology. I wonder which former great GOP prez Mike Pence will compare Caligula to this week? Actually, this would be the week to compare him to TR in that what transpired this week was somewhat Bull Moose Partyesque. But none of the core know anything about Teddy Roosevelt so don’t waste it.
