Old, fat, grumpy Irishman. I like my family, my friends, dogs, games, punk rock and sleeping. Nationalism is a disease. Madison Chicago Dublin.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Republican officials have now asked us to disregard material things, sacrifice for the nation, and contemplate that death is inevitable. We have been taken over by a secret cadre of militant Buddhists.

My daughter and I sat in complete silence at the Elkhorn Flea Market, watching a grumpy baby trundle by in a wagon full of knick knacks being pushed by his mother. When they finally passed I said "Damn! That baby looked like Patton Oswalt!" "I was thinking the same thing" replied my daughter.
