Comes Now The Chicken Farmers...

Yes, I have used this illustrative little tale before to make a point about Purity Fanatics --

...once purity itself becomes all you care about -- once  it becomes a distillery race to see who can get to 100% -- the chicken farmers are never far behind:

The main Islamist group in Algeria, the GIA, ended up being led by a Mr. Zouabri, a chicken farmer, who killed everyone who disagreed with him. He issued a final communiqué, declaring that the whole of Algerian society should be killed, with the exception of his tiny remaining band of Islamists. They were the only ones who understood the truth.

-- but sometimes a new hand fits an old glove so perfectly that you gotta go with it.


From The Guardian:

Sanders warns his loyalists it would be ‘irresponsible’ not to support Biden

 And then...

I know the media will never understand this but this moment right now, with Bernie trashing his own supporters is exactly why he lost. He was more committed to maintaining power for Dems than claiming it for his own movement.

Civility killed us.

Obviously Sanders let down his movement and squandered his life's work and a once-in-a-generation chance for real change by failing to bash Biden's mushy brains in. This can't be seriously disputed.

And so it goes, on and on and on, until you're sitting in a room with John Wick, Martin Hart and Iron Man spinning newer and ever-wider conspiracy theories every few minutes.

Behold, a Tip Jar!
