What a day. What disappointments...and no, I didn't really expect the filibuster to go through.
I do admit I hoped for more. A lot more, in fact, from those we trusted to represent us.

Yes, MSC, we are all indeed FUCKED. All I want to do right now is turn off the news and the internet(s) forever. I want to lie on a beach and drink something pink or green with an umbrella and a kick in it, read a trashy novel and watch the sunset. I want to bury my head in the sand, move to Canada or Switzerland or Ireland or SOMEWHERE ELSE.
But like all of us, I'll be back at it tomorrow. And in the meantime, FREEP this poll. It will make you feel better.
