• Success! I sampled the first bottle of my homebrew tonight, and it turned out quite tasty. Well, the [bleep]ty thing is that it’s a standard issue golden pilsner-style lager, since that’s the mix that came with the kit — will have to brew a good stout or something for the next batch.

At some base level, all dictatorial types are hypocrites. Aggrandizing power involves a certain amount of demagoguery, and keeping that power usually involves projecting the societal problems that arise from totalitarian rule on a predictive bogeyman.

Have you ever noticed that in the past few years, the state of California has been running an ad campaign to try and recruit teachers from across the US to migrate to Cali to lend (or sell) their teaching skills? There’s a shortage of qualified teachers there so the peeps at the state offices are begging the other forty-nine to send over some of their spares.
