Die Positivität ist das Opium des Volkes, aber der Spott ist das Opium der Verrückten

¡Watch out for Big Envelope!

I was going to continue writing ’bout liberal tears o’er Hairpiece’s victory–god, I still refuse to believe that wasn’t a psychedelic hallucination last night–but lost interest after I literally had to restart my computer ’cause Daily Kos’s website is such utter fucking sluggish trash.
