why twitter still sucks

every once in awhile i return to twitter to check the news, or comment on say, the debate. so when i asked a meaningful question to practicing catholics who are pro-choice, how they are able to comingle both in their lives, i was met with a response, "get a grip" by the lady who used to be in that tv show, 24. she's a comedian, and played Keifer's assistant - she always had the serious look on her face while she sat in front of a glowing computer.

this sarcastic response tells ya two things:
-its your fault if you expect anything meaningful from twitter (meaning, it's my fault). Some times you get lucky -- it's how Riley Gale and I became friends, and how was able to engage with people I really admire (like Chilly Gonzales). but for me to expect a serious answer to an honest question is my fault.

and it proves the Scott Adams dictum (is that the right word?)
that you can't expect rational information from artists - a catch-all description for people in entertainment, be they actors, writers etc. But when you run into someone in the entertainment world that has a little background in business or economics or worked in non-entertainment settings for years - you get a fuller, more experienced person who can engage on multiple levels.

that's all!

Good afternoon to you all, my dear American cousins.

Well... on Monday Her Indoors told me that we were going camping as I had no treatments scheduled for this week.

Camping! says I, much surprised.

"Yes," she replied. "We're going to Clippesby Hall tomorrow morning. Now isn't that a nice surprise?"

Now isn't that a nice surprise? had the same air as when a Mafia capo invites somebody whose numbers don't add up to take a drive in the countryside.

"But all those pills and potions I have to take!" I protested.

"You can take them as well in a tent as you can at home," she insisted.

And indeed. All I've seen on the world for weeks has been home and the hospital. Or the hospital and home. A change would be nice.

Loading up the car and setting up the tent would be beyond me, though. "And I'm not letting you - with all the dexterity of a three-legged baby elephant - put up my precious new tent."

Her Indoors smiled. "Your mates are coming to load up the car, and I've paid extra for ...

I have to comment on the Biden hearing the other day. The Dems walking out the other day just proves that party is more important than country. Regardless of who is in the White House, what took place with Biden should never be allowed to happen again. Get real you assholes. He wasn’t in charge and we all know it. What the hell is wrong with those people?
