“Jackie, how old are you?”
“Six.”
“And how old is your Daddy?”
“Six.”
“No, Jackie, that’s not possible. Your Daddy has to be older than you.”
“My Daddy only became a Daddy when I was born, and that was 6 years ago. So he’s also six.”

Instead of promoting the stupid rhetoric of “Bernie is hurting the party”, Democrats should worship at the altar of Bernie Sanders all day and every day. Bernie has been a gift to the party, and the longer he stays in the race, the better. The leadership of the party should beg him to stay on. Would the Democrats even appear on the news today if it weren’t for Bernie’s comments about a contested convention? No, it would all be about Trump and Cruz.

If Bernie had dropped out back in March, as people were suggesting, by August nobody would remember that anybody is running at all on the side of the Democrats. People follow conflict, drama, scandal. If everything is quiet, peaceful and decided, the interest dies.

God, I hate Facebook. I very rarely access it at all but today I went there to respond to people’s kind comments to the photos of Klara’s party. And what is the very first thing that Facebook sticks under my nose? This:

Given that over half of my entire Facebook feed is of pro-Ukrainian groups, what kind of an idiot offers me this vile garbage? What’s next? An IDF uniform marketed to a Palestinian refugee?

Today seems to be the National Idiot Day on TV. When asked why they support Sanders, a couple of disheveled voters said that they like him because “he bases his campaign on love instead of corporations.” I have no doubt that it doesn’t occur to them to link their lack of success in life with their deficient intellectual and linguistic skills. It’s easier to blame “corporations” instead.

I just saw a news report on the first cruise ship from the US to visit Cuba. One of the especially brain – dead passengers chirped eagerly that he was “happy to be able to visit before Burger King gets in here.” Of course, Cuba has been open to every luxurious hotel chain run by Western companies for decades. The existence of these Western hotels, casinos, cruises, restaurants, etc allowed Cubans who got jobs there to avoid starving. So the the anti-capitalist island where no vestige of Western commerce is present and where people experience starvation to entertain fat American tourists does not exist.

Where do idiots like this tourist even come from, seriously? They are as bad as the Canadian fool who tried telling me back in 1997 that people in my city in Ukraine were being “exploited” by Philip Morris having opened a factory on my street because the company wasn’t paying the Ukrainian workers the same salaries as Americans were getting for the same work. I remember wondering how it was even possible for an adult to say something so deeply idiotic and look so content about it. I’m still wondering.

This election cycle gave me a great way to edit my humongous blogroll. I’m now cutting out every Liberal blog and website that has published a “Trump presidency wouldn’t be much worse than Hillary’s” article.

I wouldn’t cut out conservative blogs that publish such pieces, obviously. I respect consistency and conviction. It’s the self-defeating stupidity of some Liberals that I can’t stand. Their insistence on a non-existent ideological purity and constant policing of the ranks in search of transgressors who departed from the orthodoxy for 2 seconds is too boring.
