42. I have become an insufferable asshat since election day.

Dec 2016

I am hostile, I am bitter, I am disillusioned...

I live in East Kansas (once known as "Missouri&quot and I look around with complete disgust at my neighbors. This state is busily converting itself into a hate-filled, racist version of what would happen if you mashed up Kansas, Alabama and Indiana into a toxic stew of idiocy.

The end is nigh for future generations. The ones currently born will be the last to remember a time before the scarcity and horror of the coming resource wars. This all ends badly for humanity and the accelerant to the coming conflagration is none other than that fucking useless Talking Yam and his evil fucking minions of destruction.

The car was run off the run and into a deep ditch by W. and his gang of war criminals and thieves...we spent the best part of 8 years to see Obama get the car out of the ditch, repaired, repainted and at least road ready, only to now watch a drunk fool get behind the wheel, prepared to run over anything in the way and speed the car off the road in into the Grand Canyon.

It's over.
Humanity lost.
