Does anybody understand the Otto Warmbier case? It doesn’t make me want to bomb North Koreans but it is absolutely monstrous that the regime would send a young man home in a coma for a harmless prank.

Some will consider this kicking a team when it’s down; some will think it less than diplomatic. Me? I like a smart-aleck who doesn’t ingratiate with the oppressor.

Many must think that Trump’s debacle is proof we should have voted for Clinton or Stein. Hell with that. We should have all voted for me. Before they assassinated me, I would, as Commander-in-Chief, have ordered the immediate, unconditional withdrawal of all US troops, the closing of all US military bases, & the opening of US borders to refugees. Then I would have thrown in socialized medicine. By then they’d have done me in.

Love this exchange between a nationalist sulking over India’s loss of the championship & a Kashmiri. The nationalist was suggesting I mind my own business & not meddle in Kashmiri-Indian politics:

Nationalist: “Wonder why people don’t mind their own business & worry about improving things in their own backyard.”

Kashmiri: “That’s what oppressors love the most. People should mind their own business so they could oppress more.”

India lost the trophy but if they withdraw Indian troops from Kashmir working people can still have those toilets. It will be a glorious day when India’s cricket team meets Kashmir’s cricket team on the field & it’s no longer a battle between unarmed protesters & an army.

Will people think it really gauche or inappropriate if I do a crowdfund to get vet care for the mother dog I just took in? I also want to get her sibling who hung with her on the street to get him treated. She had a broken leg which hasn’t healed properly, sores all over her body, is emaciated, is probably in need of deworming & heartworm treatment, & she needs to be spayed so this doesn’t happen again to her. It’s beyond my means right now & the non-kill shelters are over capacity.

It probably seems foolish to have taken her but her babies needed her & they’re quite content together. When they’re well, I’ll try to find them a family.
