3 things I've learned about myself as I get older.

Call it being a man, call it getting getting older; take it whichever other fucking way you like it -

1- Never disrupt a man when he's in the bathroom.

2- Never interrupt a man when he's eating.

3- Finally, never awake a man who's asleep unless it's an emergency.

Failing to follow this will incite anger and retribution.

It those that believe in - or don't care enough to challenge - the lies told about reality that suffer; along with the rest of society who are powerless and/or don't know at all.

Another reminder why Dubya was the worst thing to happen to the USA ...

As if there aren't enough reasons, in case you do forget ...

You know, those fucking 'support the troops' assholes really ticked me off back then when they spouted off - where are they now when these folks really need the help?

Next time you hear someone uttering the phrase 'sound science' when defending frakenfood ...
