Back at it. Was away last week. What did I miss?

I’m kidding of course. News travels to California. I don’t have the stomach to re-hash the whole Jimmy Kimmel affair, except to say that giving the bully your lunch money does not stop the bully. It amazes me that corporate types, who surely like to think of themselves as more intelligent than us plebes, do not grasp what was learned in the schoolyard. But then again I’ve known “corporate types” my whole life, and in general they are as dumb and/or smart as anybody else. So they are gonna learn the hard way that the world is filled with people who tickled Donald Trump’s balls and did not receive the desired response. The devil on my shoulder hopes Disneyland is bulldozed and turned into another shitty Trump golf course that he turns into a cemetery to receive a tax break….and that Mickey Mouse (who my Dad always hated and referred to as “that dirty little rodent”) replaces RFK Jr at the Department of Health. This is what we deserve for being this fucking stupid.

But speaking of California….
