Wow, did I miss a lot! Michigan! God damn!!

[Bonobo]

So I was on another "vacation"... (how come people only whine about alert stalking and pass around candles when it is a loud-mouthed Hillary supporter? All my hides were 4-3...)

Oh well, good to be back and man did I miss a lot. Fucking Michigan, wow! Now THAT is a state that represents the US if you ask me. No, sorry, but South Carolina really doesn't... the whole thing about "well it's diverse!" --you know the problem with that argument? The problem is that it ironically is racist in that it fails to recognize that there is a difference between black voters in the deep south and black voters in the north, east and west. Why is it that way? Religion is my guess. And whether it is "I ain't votin' for no Jew" or simply "Ahm votin' for the good Christian" it amounts to the same thing. That shit won't fly so much in the rest of the country.

Yep, Michigan. Wow. A sweet, sweet day not only for the win in the heart of America, but because it was both a slap in the face to the pundits ("Math!&quot and a reminder of the power of the vote. Sweet, sweet. There is no putting the genie back in the bottle now. American Spring muthafuckers!

As the wins pile up, the false belief that the Sanders movement is a pipe dream begins to dissolve. People don't want to hold their noses and vote anymore. In particular, as it looks more and more like Trump will win, there are two BIG reasons to vote for Sanders over Clinton. 1) Because Sanders matches up better againast Trump by FAR (drawing in independents) and 2) Because the impossibility of the Trump candidacy is a mirror which shows us that Sanders is NOT a silly puffed up faker - it is NOT a pipe dream. Trump is. Sanders is a level-headed professional.

I like the way things are going.

1. Welcome back, Bonobo

Michigan was a nail-biter. I tell ya I was looking at Wayne county like it was gonna show me the secrets of the universe

2. I was looking at my home county the same way

It was one of the last to start reporting results and it's a tiny county with a low population.

3. Hi bonobo, here's a piece of advice:

First of all, welcome back.

Second, there is a poster with whom you have been having clashes. That poster serves you up for alerts. Stay away from that poster and you will be OK.

[Bonobo]

4. Ha, there's more than one I'm afraid.

But could you PM me about who you're talking about?

5. welcome back

Now, behave yourself!

6. Long, boring story...

...but a previous cat of mine was shy with strangers, but a very talkative furball with me. When I was on vacation, he would hide when my sister came to feed him. When I came home, he would talk to me for an hour just to let it all out.

You remind me of Gideon, Bonobo. And I mean that in the warmest sense. Welcome back!

[Bonobo]

7. Ha!

I love the name Gideon!
