One day maybe we'll be grateful to Putin

If 30 or 40 million Trump voters wake up one day and realize that they are such uninformed easily manipulated morons that they should never attempt to vote again, it would be an important step toward progress.

Because my old boss used to say that if you take a person who is counterproductive and simply make him nonproductive, that's progress.

He used to say handing an important job to the wrong guy was like giving a sword to a crazy person who is just swinging it around wildly.

Of course this bit of hopefulness is contingent upon the world not getting destroyed in a nuclear toddler tantrum.

We can cling to some shreds of hope.
