HOLY CRAP ARE FINALS REALLY NEXT WEEK?
Not that I’m anxious, mind you, because haven’t I already figured out how well I need to do on each of my finals, in order to still grab an A in each class? And don’t I have some wiggle room? Still, won’t I be spending the next four days immersed in studying? Maybe?
Hasn’t my lawyer said I can’t discuss anything at this time?
@nemomen what is Princess Pricklepants’ position on this most recent act of domestic terrorism? Radicalized by a squirrel, perhaps?
Isn’t it too soon to politicize this tragedy?
If they’re not until next week why am I grading papers today?
Is that because you don’t teach at my university?
As you still haven’t had finals, can I say I’m grateful I don’t?
Dear Canada,
Have you seen what’s been going on south of your borders? Is it OK if my spouse and I move in with you?
Your pal,
monkeyoh
Wouldn’t we be more than happy to chip in to the wall-building fund, if Canada would let us do it from their side of the wall?
Did you hear Texas is planning a secession vote? Wouldn’t it be convenient if I was forced to move anyway, so I could just work on returning to my spiritual homeland above the 49th parallel?
Wouldn’t this be the bestest reason of all to vote for Hillary if she’s the one on the ballot, instead of petulantly staying at home on Election Day? Wouldn’t they pass the secession vote within one working day of her election? Wouldn’t that be the greatest silver lining ever?
If Texas somehow did secede (not that they legally actually could), wouldn’t it work wonders for the makeup of the Senate, House, and Electoral College? Might it be worth it if only to remove Ted Cruz, John Cornyn, and Greg Abbott from our fine nation?
How long ago was Ann Richards the Governor?
Way, way, way too long ago? How did Texas manage to move to such an utterly infantile, regressive state as a State so quickly since '94? Isn’t it the saddest, dumbest, most horrible thing that she was replaced by GWB?
Hasn’t it been around 20 years? But haven’t the last 20 years been several eons in terms of political drain-swirling?
Isn’t it hard to believe that Barbara Jordan was a politician from Texas too?
Is that going to work any better than it did during the previous Texas revolution? Can I make some recommendations on who should staff the Alamo this time, just in case?
Didn’t that one end with Texas bankrupt, in political chaos from incompetent leadership, and about to lose a war with Mexico, begging the US to save them? Doesn’t it seem likely the same turn of events would happen?
Would your list include Ted Cruz and Greg Abbott?
As a resident of Durham, CT, don’t I frown when such aspersions are cast on the actions of our Native Son (and pere, Moses)?
If Texas did vote to secede, would Mexico try to take it back? Wouldn’t that be a major reversal?
