I let yesterday slip by without thinking about it, but, yeah, it's been 10 years since I've had a drink, snort or taste of alcohol.

What was the significance of St. Patrick?

I hold it a very likely possibility that the man who confessed to burning Beth Israel synagogue is a Christian extremist.

Why is this not being brought up?

Give a moment of gratitude.

I'd purchase one of those 'blackout' license plates (you know they generate revenue for the police, right?) if they would let me put ACAB on it*.

*just shittin' ya, I wouldn't knowingly help finance those bastards.

What are the restrictions on the "Thou Shalt Not Kill" commandment?

They just found mosquitoes in Iceland, ahead of finding panthers in Mississippi, I presume.

Mississippi - the only geological location on this planet where non-defecating panthers roam.

Hey, why not? Call it KISS (Kegs In Satan's Service), like the kid-friendly rock band.

I don't understand the concept of 'healing' when you haven't even started to fight yet.

Yeah, because we don't have enough of that already.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
