Yesterday afternoon I cycled by the google news, to learn what it had determined was then most Real, and Important. And there I encountered this headline:

Texas Lawyer In Nazi Uniform Opens Fire At Strip Mall, 9 Injured

Yep, I thought, that about sums it up: the Americans, these days. Wanna-be Nazis. Dishinged law-jockeys. Uniforms. Shootings. Strip malls. Hurt people.

Certainly explains what would be occurring, among the Americans, in several hours hence: the debate between The Mad Bomber, and The Hairball. For no decent, civilized nation, would it throw up those two, as Screen-Shot-2015-06-27-at-4.53.59-PM.pngthe finalists, to be the president. But a nation where Lone Star barristers bedecked in Adolf-wear shoot up people at strip malls—that nation, surely, could.

Extraterrestrials, surveying all the Americans, never would they select such creatures—The Hairball, and The Mad Bomber—as the best the denizens of the land-mass could produce. But, the Americans did.

The Hairball, he did not receive the majority of the votes, in the Republican primaries, but he certainly hauled in by far the most. While over in the Democratic version, The Mad Bomber—so sorry, but it's true—outpolled The Cranky Brooklyn Deli Man, by some three million votes.

These two—The Hairball, The Mad Bomber—they are what that decided minority of the Americans, who participated in the primaries, presented to all the Americans, as the two, who might best be the president.

Thing 1. Thing 2.

Yee. Haw.
