Whatever political party you support, I think we can all agree on the most important political issue: everybody’s lying about how much raisins and nuts are in their cereal. It’s like Breakfast LaCroix at this point. Don’t act like it’s trail mix when it’s just raisin memories and nut dreams.

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.
