At the time I adopted this user name, I was getting out in front of myself. Barring a Hail Mary, it looks like I may have been regrettably correct.

Things are about to get bad for me, the country, and the whole world. Stupid people chose a stupid path for stupid reasons. Today is the first day of the rest of my life, a life that will almost certainly be far more difficult as time passes.

I'll go ahead and say what I've been holding back. At a victory celebration in Nov 2008, I was held back from the joy others were sharing by the strong nagging feeling that "this won't end well". And finally, we're there.

Couple of guys I useta work with, both Rs, on my FB TL. Long post about "can't we all be friends and just compromise a little?" Seriously? After all the stuff your guy has said and done?.. BLOCK.

I'm glad I don't have kids and grandkids. 50 years from now it's gonna be hard.

If this is how it works out when the Grizz start the game as a 1 point favorite, we can deal with it.

Commercialization continues. There was a time that the Wonders exhibits (Ramses, Etruscans, Titanic, etc.) were run by the city and shown at the convention center or the pyramid. My heart jumped for a minute when I saw the Vesuvius announcement. Nah. It's Graceland.

The guardrails will slow him down, they say. It's not as bad as you whiny libs think, they say. Aight. Today should shut that noise up.

A lot of Memphis tweeps already there. Let's blow this popsicle stand.
