Clearly we have reached "Peak Idiocracy".

Cheeto Sporkhands is the presumptive Republican candidate for President, Boris "I'm One Crazy Mofo" Johnson has been anointed Foreign Secretary of the UK, and Kanye is considered to be a musical genius.
Time to pack it in, find the best wine, best weed, and great food, hole up someplace where the nutcase's are few and far between, and wait it out until the Vogon's arrive and decide that we're right in the way of a hyper space bypass and vaporise the planet.
Mrs GoS and I know where our towels are. Unfortunately we don't have access to the technology that Ford Prefect and Arthur Dent used to get off this freaking planet.
And let us not even mention the anti-intellectual loons like effing Ray "Banana" Comfort, Ken "Ark Man" Ham and others of the fruitcake, woo-lords like Mercola, Mike "I'm Not A Doctor" Adams, and David "Complete Fuckwit" Avocado Wolfe. Even the Vogons would be appalled.

"As it happened, my train was announced a moment or two later, so I finished my coffee, stood up, picked up the newspaper, and underneath the newspaper…”

“Yes?”

“Were my biscuits.”

I can not WAIT to use that one on my daughter!

And, oh...that was so very funny. Surely there must be someplace within the confines of our planet where a body can wait in peace for the Vogons to arrive. Let me know if you find it.

Wait a minute, has it been determined that Sporkhands and those others are not Vogon?

That post was the result of 3 glasses of wine and an 'electric' cookie.

I think you may be correct. They are Vogons.

If Trump gets elected we should change Year 2017 CE (Common Era) to Year 1 CrE (Cretin Era)
