Rest in Peace

Today is the day. The day the American Experiment comes to a pathetic, self inflicted, fascist end.

I’m not going to watch the “inauguration”. Beyond the previous sentence, I plan to ignore it entirely and just try to pretend that it doesn’t happen even though that is just an old jerk being silly and deluding himself. There is an afternoon Bruins game today. It is Martin Luther King day and the B’s always play a day game. You would think that would make me feel a tiny bit better but the Bruins suck right now and MLK’s memory is being spit on by the other events.

Rest in peace, American democracy. 248 years was a good run, I guess. To the rest of the civilized world, I am so sorry.

Another Sign that Summer is Over

Are you ready for another depressing sign that summer is depressingly over?

I just went outside to start the grill so that I could cook myself a burger and a dog for lunch. The grill wouldn’t start. I think it’s out of gas.

Somehow that’s even more depressing than being three days past Labor Day.

Summer really is over, kids. It’s time to start crying.
