GodDAMN this country needs the referendum
Instead eking our way through the courts on major national issues and feeding the beast that the legal industry has become, or arguing about them on the so-called news channels, or making replicant bumpersticker posts on social media of our cookie-cutter ideologies, let’s shut the fuck up and VOTE on it.
Let’s vote on guns (I believe we’d keep them). Let’s vote on abortion (I believe we’d keep it). Let’s vote on homosexual marriage (I believe we’d keep that, too).
Not state by state, but nationwide votes.
I’m getting so sick of social media these days. It’s nothing but a bunch little armchair hashtag ideologues smoking the pole of their particular orthodoxy and calling everybody who doesn’t believe what they’ve been told to believe stupid.
I know this is a fantasy and it would never happen. There’s 20 million lawyers who’d fight it every step of the way, for one thing. You think the NRA is tenacious? Try giving a lawyer a pay cut.
Obama is right: VOTE about this gun shit. If you think gun control will work, vote for gun control people. If you think gun control is bullshit, vote that way.
My question on the whole matter is why are these types of shootings increasing (and they most decidedly are)? I mean, if guns are ultimately the problem, why haven’t there always been an equal number of these shootings? Guns have been around for over half a millennium, automatic guns for over a century, yet these types of random massacres are fairly recent. They have occurred VERY sporadically throughout history, but since 1966 they’ve pretty much skyrocketed. What has happened to our society in the last 50 or 60 years?
Anyway, good day and be sure to vote about it.

UCC Was Not A ‘Gun Free Zone’ Because Public Colleges In Oregon Can’t Ban GunsOn Thursday, a shooter reported killed at least 13 people and injured many others at a community college in Oregon. Just minutes after the incident, commentators sought to attribute the incident to the fact that Umpqua Community College was a “gun free zone.”

altarflame said about FAT & DRUNK IN SODAK: I went to a free concert in the park with my oldest and some friends. Also, I often think about and repeat your quote, about how the kitchen is the only place in the universe that makes sense.
//////////
It’s a good quote. Use it. Take credit for it. Say Oscar Wilde said it (he said everything else). The kitchen is the only place in the universe that makes complete sense.
It’s true. Test it out :)

My day was spent in the kitchen, drinking martinis.
I made cannelloni and a boule of oatmeal bread, not to mention the omelet muffins posted earlier.
As anyone who knows me knows, the kitchen is my happy place. And drinking martinis while in your happy place only makes it happier.
Anyway, we’re gettin’ fat and drunk in South Dakota. What’re you doin’?
Whenever I see the word “bae” I immediately stop reading.
You know it means “shit” in Danish, right?

Made some omelet muffins.
Somebody posted a video on fb and it looked cute and fun, so I tried it. They’re purdy.
I don’t know how to post fb videos to here so to see it you have to follow me over there, I guess.
Saute up some red pepper and onion. Allow them to cool. Spoon some into each cup. Top with shredded cheese. Beat some eggs up with salt and pepper and a little baking powder. The recipe over on fb called for milk, but I ain’t got any atm, so I used a little buttermilk.
Although I sprayed the cups amply with canola, mine don’t wanna come out intact. Guess Ill just eat em straight outta the pan…
EDIT: ok, they came out not too terribly fucked up. And YUM, by the way.
EDIT 2: oh, and pour the beaten eggs into each cup, haha. The baking powder makes them rise, so they are light and fluffy, just like my brain.
