addendum to last post: it's tough being a landlord.

As a member of the American People, I get asked to vet job applications all the time. (They work for us. Not the other way around.) WE hold the lease on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC, and all sorts of people keep trying to rent it. But I'm picky. The rent is so so so much more than money. The rent is decades of premature aging and the trust of the world. It's responsibility beyond your wildest nightmares.





I'd give them my keys and trust them to feed my cat.

That is a fucking PROFOUND statement.

Barak Obama, despite having a weird name lolz omg, is by far the most wholesome person in the entire nation. He's like if Kennedy was actually as great as the idea of Kennedy. This is the greatest thing evar.

He IS. He's so frakkin' boy-next-door All-American. Why yes, he is bi-racial and bi-national and wrote openly in his first book about having tried cocaine as a kid....

that IS wholesome and all-American and normal to me. It seems the right-wing idea of "wholesome" is some all-white sheltered suburbanite TV tableau, and I don't know anyone like that in real life! That kind of background seems kind of unwholesome to me, like it's extremely artificial and could only happen with a conscious effort to shut most of the world out, which is just viscerally gross.
