250th warbration

Posted on Posted in lost horizon, wargasm

a weekend warcation. the new nation celebrates carrriers’ invention — keep cool.

First

[clerk] ” how was your 4th? “

[me] “good .. surprisingly quiet… hardly any fireworks…”

[clerk] ” same around me. fireworks were too expensive this year.”

A high water mark of passing a Victory Lap bill offering the unemployed to keep their unemployed dependents on a nonexistent health plan wasn’t enough to outlast 2010.
