    It’s the totally incongruous “Thank you!” that really sells it. Wow. We’re living history, folks. I knew the American empire was collapsing, but I didn’t think it was going to be quite this stupid. Yet, maybe it had to be.

      Have you not seen the average American in the past 50 years? The decline was always going to be as stupid as possible.

        As jaded as I am, I’ve always been an optimist at heart. Turns out my belief in humanity remains misplaced.

          Keeping a few smart friends is a good way to keep your head above water. The issue is looking outside of that circle and realizing that more than half of the country would have trouble ordering something from cheesecake factory (and their infamously long menu).

      It’s not even the same typeface or size.

      This reminds me of the stuff my wife was submitting while she was representing herself in the divorce.
