In addition to the typical Monday depression, I’m ungodly sore and tired today. That’s what happens when you get a little decent weather around here (especially on the weekend) – you try and cram in as much activity as you can because you know it aint gonna last. In fact, after another warm day today, they’re telling us to expect a couple inches of snow on Tuesday. Hey, Mother Nature, quit fucking with us, would ya? It’s not like I tried to slip you margarine or something (on a side note, I just checked – did you know you can’t buy Chiffon in North America anymore? It’s only sold in the Caribbean. Happily, Mother Nature, aka Dena Dietrich, is still with us).

Perhaps not with us much longer, hopefully, are Republicans in Wisconsin. Seems that the GOP there wants to have a vote affirming their right to secede from the Union (if not to actually secede – yet). Well, we already knew Wisconsin Republicans aren’t exactly union-friendly, so this isn’t much of a surprise, I guess. My only hope is that they’re just planning on leaving. Maybe they can all catch an iron ore freighter and head across Lake Superior to Canada.

Preferably during November.

I heard a clip of Ted “The Genius” Cruz speaking at whatever convention of dumb fucking teabaggers is going on (or just got ever with or whatever – the one where they booed a mention of Jeb Bush), and he was saying that the number one priority for Congress out to be to abolish the IRS (guess he’s taking some time off from repealing Obamacare).

The crowd promptly commenced to do some enthusiastic hootin’ and a-hollerin’ as you’d expect them to. I really wish I could have slipped into Ted’s mind (sick and twisted though that would be – no amount of showers cold get you clean after an experience like that) and finished his speech, ‘cuz (once their excitement calmed down a bit), I’d have continued with something like….

“We don’t need the IRS because we don’t need what the ‘R’ in IRS stands for – ‘Revenue’. We don’t need roads or highways, we don’t need schools, we don’t need Federal Prisons, we don’t need Social Security and Medicare, we don’t need an Army, a Navy, an Air Force, or Marines, we don’t need the VA, we don’t need to pay military pensions, and most of all we don’t need to pay for elections so dumb motherfuckers like you can elect stupid assholes like me.”

Oh well, I guess I should get back to work. Or at least go look out the window for a while.
