It’s 11:15 on a Friday night and I’m streaming a live feed of C-SPAN on YouTube because I want to see this fascist suffer. If there was a channel that served up this kind of humiliation 24/7 I’d never turn it off.

I lived in San Diego briefly as a wee lad and my only memory of the place is when a rattlesnake foolishly bit my dad’s boot and he swiftly cut its head off with a shovel. He proudly showed off the boot with the snake head still attached to awed neighbors. Anyway, that’s how the family legend goes.
