Happy Birthday JZ!!!
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Vocabulary question: Can someone explain the writer's use of the word "crapulent" in this article?
Secession is the next radical idea poised to enter mainstream discourse—or at least the realm of the conceivable. You can’t bloat a modest republic into a crapulent empire without sparking one hell of a centrifugal reaction.
The dictionary definition of crapulent is not very enlightening.

Maybe "crapulent" = "full of crap"? It sounds like the writer's not happy about the state of the "modest republic," so I go with that.
Speaking of politics, Six Other Things the Office of the Vice President Actually Is:
1. Because his office is not an entity in the executive branch, but actually a Native American religion, Cheney and his staff are free to smoke peyote at the start of every morning meeting.
2. Because his office is not an entity in the executive branch, but actually a breach in the space/time continuum, Cheney is free to enter at will his own dimension, the realm of Cthulhu and the slime beasts.
3. Because his office is not an entity in the executive branch, but actually a motorcycle gang, Cheney is free to beat Senators with chains and blackjacks.
4. Because his office is not an entity in the executive branch, but technically an executive bathroom, Cheney is free to wipe his ass with whatever documents are handy, memos, executive orders, Constitutions.
5. Because his office is not an entity in the executive branch, but actually a freak show, Cheney is free to bite the heads off chickens. And nosy members of Congress.
6. Because his office is not an entity in the executive branch, but actually an insane asylum, Cheney is free to rain bedlam down on the whole of government.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Crappy pun on corpulent?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Just suddenly became aware that Zack de la Roche was screaming "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me!" very loudly
That's a great work song!

Thanks, Jesse. I think that "corpulent" was the word he was reaching for.
