So long ago


So much lost along the way

This for those who never heard of Cuomo, or never heard him speak, or had no idea that the issues over which we now contend go back a long, long way.

But mostly, this is for those on the Right who, far, far too late, ran away from the Palinite freakshow that their Movement predictably devolved into and now comfort themselves with the big, soft lie that the evils of their Movement are some kind of aberration of recent vintage.

Fuck. You.

For all the good it will do, this is a reminder that some of us know damn -- and will never stop Saying Out Loud -- the ugly truth that you dare not ever admit in public: that the Movement you spent so many years helping to build was born corrupt and raised by monsters.

That you were warned at every step along the way that teetering on the edge of a fascist abyss with giggling, Bible-thumping sociopaths trying to shove us over the edge is exactly where your grotesque cult of Thatcher and Reagan would land us.

And now that we are all squatting in the ruins of the culture your Movement destroyed, how will you atone?

How will you atone?

How will they atone? Fuck atonement, that's how. They have money. They'll just use their large walled and gated mansions as vacation homes, but otherwise pack up and move to another country to start over. India will be ripe for their picking in another 30 years or so.

Ah, Mario. Pity that his son is such a douche and that my state had the stellar choice between Andrew and the horse porn racist idiot.

One forgets what a good speaker Mario was. But, you're right, the content of that speech could be about today so very, very easily.

How we miss him! His son? Ewwwww. He should take a page from Dad's book.

Oh yeah. There was a time when they talked about the poor.
