that's one of the few beauties of living in a world full of lies and
deception.

you never run out of material.

they just keep cranking it out.

you'd think they'd surrender much sooner than they do.

but nope.

they're full to the brim with false hope.

it almost makes me feel guilty to express it so clearly and amusingly.

but since i'm not getting paid any cash to do so, i fell like i have
no reason for shame.

if the day every comes that i DO make money from it, i'll deal with it
then.

somehow.

Nothing. You're a terrible writer. And you know fuck-all even about
utter bullshit.

Don't give up the day ... oh never mind.

I suggest a treatise on the trustworthiness of former First Ladies
running for President.

He says it because all he can see is what you write, not what you're
capable of writing.

There are a lot of things that I do compulsively, but which don't seem
to make me really happy. Usenet is one of them.

what is it about Usenet that doesn't make you happy?

the complaint department is just down the hall past the drinking
fountain.

you have to knock really hard because they're quite busy in there.

(which is why they disconnected the door buzzer).

i make a majorly profound point, you cheerfully
try to claim it as your own, and you have the
foolishness to ask me if i know how to construct
an argument?

yikes-o-rama-bama!

in general?

yikes.

anyway, obviously Hillary is totally full of shit, just like any other
politician.

but IMO, what makes her a good candidate for president is that she's
so bad at concealing her lies.

i'd make it an all out endorsement if she would just publically admit
it.

Do what you'd do to anybody else who mocked you, bust its ass.

Fucksake, you're supposed to be a "creative genius" and I'm working my
way through the manual "How To Become Retarded And Function Anyway",
yet you see nothing wrong with the picture. Go figure.
