…for and speculated about like kids waiting for Santa. (I should know — I participated by writing a few Fitzmas Carols myself)

The disappointment was pretty bitter, as some cynics like to remind us. sigh. Kind of like Waiting for the Great Pumpkin or even Waiting for Godot.

Lament since the election






Ship of Fools
World Party
Written by: Karl Edmond De Vere Wallinger


We're setting sail
To the place on the map
From which no one has ever returned
Drawn by the promise of the joker and the fool
By the light of the crosses that burn
Drawn by the promise of the women and the lace
And the gold and the cotton and pearls
It's the place where they keep all the darkness you need
You sail away from the light of the world
On this trip, baby

You will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow, yeah
You will pay tomorrow

Save me
Save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no, no
Oh, save me
Save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no, no

I want to run and hide
Right now

Avarice and greed
Are gonna drive you over the endless sea
They will leave you drifting in the shallows
Or drowning in the oceans of history
Traveling the world, you're in search of no good
But I'm sure you'll build your Sodom, like you knew you would
Using all the good people for your galley slaves
As your little boat struggles through the warning waves

But you don't pay
You will pay tomorrow

That's what pisses me off the most. And no, I'll never get over it, nor will I bow to fascism.

Also found liable for fraud and sexual assault.

You really couldn’t ask for any more than that.

Unfortunately a huge portion of Americans are just broken and those types of things don’t matter to them.
