I realize there's not much to be done about it except be aware, but it just pisses me off that this stuff happens at all. So much for the "inevitable" candidate. If that were true, no one would trying to steal the primary for her...

Can you recognize this famous speech (trumpified)?

It was a long time ago – I don’t think anyone can even remember, but I can remember, I have a great memory, I’ve got the best memory ever. These guys, they made the most special thing, really, really special. Where everyone was free and everything was great, just the way I’ve made America, I really, really mean that.

Now we’ve got these people – I don’t like these people, let me tell you, they’re really awful, they said, “Hey Trump, you’ve got small hands,” and so I went after them, I really did, I sued them, and what did they do? They decided they wanted a fight and I said, “Okay, we’ll see who’s still here in a few years,” and see, we’re still here, on this battlefield. It’s a yuge battlefield, and it’s really, really, great, it’s so special. See, we’ve built this cemetery, so how big it is? It’s so special. And these guys – we’ve got the best guys – they tell me, “Hey Donald, give us someone who can lead us and we’ll beat these rebels,” and so I made things happen – it’s what I do – and boom, look, we’ve got this big, big win. These guys died winning, and I’m sure that makes their families just so, so happy, all this winning. It’s really great that we can be here to make this place special because of all the winning they did.

But really, we can’t make this place any more special than they did by winning so hard, unless it’s to build a brand new Trump Towers – Gettysburg – that’s right ladies and gentlemen, that’s right, right here, right where you’re standing, we’re going to build this yuge tower, and oh my goodness, it will be so special, so big. You’ll just get sick from how big it is. You say to yourself, “Hey, I wonder if anyone will remember this place.” And now you don’t have to wonder anymore because you’ll be able to see it from miles and miles away, that’s how yuge it will be. We’ll make those rebels remember this place where they lost, where they became losers. I really hate losers. I hate them so much that we’re going to keep on winning, just to show them how much of losers they really are, that’s what we’re going to do. What these guys did – and they’re just the best, so special – well, we’re going to make sure that what they won for is going to be kept alive forever. Know what I’m going to do? I’m going to build a wall, a yuge wall, really, really yuge, all along the Mason-Dixon Line, and know what? I’m gonna make Jeff Davis pay for it, I really am. That guy’s such a loser, it’s why I hate him so much, and I think it’s what the guys that won here would really want. I’m just going to keep this great country really great, and yuge, just like me. We’re going to keep winning until we’re so tired of winning that you’ll have to thank me for making everything so great. My government is going to be around for a while, so get used to that winning.

Oh hey, look, we’ve got someone yelling about issues over there. What’s that? Slavery? Throw that guy outta here, get him out, this is about winning, and he’s a loser.

And in case you’ve forgotten the original. To maybe cleanse the palate.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

And found out that the incense I'm getting for 2 bucks locally retails online for 8.

So, I'm assuming that means that the stuff just wasn't moving and the owner is selling it cheap. Time to stock up.

but its connection to the orange gives me a bit of a devilish delight.

well observed Martha!

However, I think it would be great fun to find or start a petition to require Republicans to allow guns at their convention. If it is okay to open carry in schools, then what are they afraid of?

A. When it rains cats and dogs, where do the antelope prey?

B. If 2*Pi*R= area, how does one measure the volume of time?

C. If you shove enough Thyme in a bottle, will Jim Croce suffocate?

D. Explain why you always must wait for a doctor's visit, even if you come early, and then the time you spend with the MD and the time they bill for seem to be from entirely separate universes.

got an email telling me about momentum, winning caucuses, cutting into Hillary's lead, the little bird on the podium and asking for a pretty minimal donation.

But, you know, after being burned by Mr. Fauxbama, the Bamboozler in Chief, to the tune of $2300 in 2008, I have sworn off sending any politician any money and I for sure am not going to buy any #$%& book!

Still, $3....it isn't a lot, yet I'm reluctant.

You see, there's all this talk about not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good and usually it's applied to really horrible stuff. With Hillary, for example, its "don't let no war be the enemy of war". With Bernie, on the other hand, it might really be "don't let perfect..." etc.

As mentioned here many times, Bernie is as far to my right as Hillary is to Bernie's. I think Bernie's half a great candidate but his foreign policy is pretty bad. So $3....maybe I should send him $1.50 with a note explaining why I won't send the whole thing.

I'm not seeing anything I posted in the last couple of hours.
