Crazy, but that’s how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe. it’s not too late
To learn how to love, and forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Life’s a bitter shame
I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train

Hello sports fans! Yes, it’s that time of year again. Now that the quadrennial election festivities are once again in the books and we’ve dutifully selected our Queen, er… King, er… Reality TV Star… in Chief, it’s time for we Americans to once again do what we do best and the one task for which we were all born and bred: launch into our annual orgiastic feast of gluttony, greed, avarice, and all around irresponsible behavior, during what we lovingly and only slightly mockingly call our holiday season.
