It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm hoping Rubio will keep it close enough that they'll end up with a brokered convention. At which point the PTB will chose Rubio, Trump will go off in a snit and run third party, and the Dem will win.

There's no way. It'll be Trump and HRC. No way Bernie can get the delegates, and the black vote in the South is swinging hard to her.

Aside from everything else, Rubio is (a) a total Koch puppet; and (b) there's apparently a huge scandal in his closet which will get aired if he gets the nomination.

I don't know where my extra energy came from today, but after dinner I scrubbed pots and pans and drew a new illustration rather than vegging out in front of the TV.

I'm sorry you've been struggling with depression, tommy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sorry about the depression attack, tommy. Glad you're back.

That is an interesting plan, but can they implement it?

Our wings are not tired.

Good to see your font, tommy. My concern for the House and Senate is as great or greater than over the presidency. The determination to obstruct Clinton will be worse than with Obama. This is why it is so important to somehow keep the Sanders crowd going to vote. They will pull along the other races. Alas, I hear way too many say they will refuse to vote in November if Sanders isn't on the ticket. Sigh.

I'll be there no matter who is on the ticket! Haven't missed one yet.

Nice productivity, Matt. I worked and watched movies. Jumanji and Jurassic Park. Neither required my full attention so were good background entertainment.

Lovely, Matt.

Sorry to hear about the depression, tommyrot. Always nice to see you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just did my taxes, which took less than an hour for state and federal. So that's nice.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So did I! And it took less than an hour for my e-file to get approved by the IRS.

Me too! Now I wait for them to take their $32 back.

I am impressed by the both of you! I was literally lying down thinking about whether I want to get up and do something the whole time you did your taxes. Conclusion not really reached, yet, btw. I only got up because someone knocked on my door, but it was just an Amazon Sunday delivery. I may go back to lying down.
