I'm on a mini-walkabout, sorta trying to disconnect from the realish world with family on a lake in Ohio. And I've been trying for a while to write something that encapsulates a coherent philosophical framework that explains how I view the world and our place in it. Trying, but failing.Until I figure it out, in recognition of our need to feed the tree of Gheorgheness with the blood of new content, here's something I posted on Twitter yesterday that I'll return to over and over again. This is how I think about America:
I think of patriotism like I think of parenting. I love my kids fiercely, and I get pissed off when they fail to do the right thing. I love my country fiercely, and I get pissed off when it fails to do the right thing. Expecting more of America doesn't make me less of a patriot.
God bless America. May she actually be what we believe she already is.
They are what we thought they were!
ReplyDeleteCrown their ass.
ReplyDeleteEverybody back to work today (like I am)? Other than Rob and his paradisaical Ohioan excursion?
ReplyDeleteI'm at work, and it is brutal
ReplyDeleteWe let em off the hook!
ReplyDeleteadios Scott Pruitt, you steaming pile of shit
ReplyDeleteYou know you're really crooked when you're too crooked for the Trump administration.
ReplyDeletePeople in favor of breathing air and drinking water should be pleased by Scott Pruitt's departure.
ReplyDeleteUntil Trump replaces him with the guy in the car who threw his litter at the feet of the crying Native American in the Keep America Beautiful ad from the 70's.

ReplyDeleteI’m on vacation until Tuesday. Heading over to Gaylord Palms tomorrow to sit by the pool and ignore my kids for a couple of days.
ReplyDeletegaylord.
ReplyDeletealways better to lower your expectations, if you want to be happy.
ReplyDeleteSammy Sosa is to look at these days. Not just the bleached skin. He’s just had so much work done. Very plastic.
ReplyDeleteGrayson Allen got into it with Trae Young in summer league. Allen did a little extra. You’re all shocked, I’m sure.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the Teej is killing it on Twitter today.
ReplyDeleteTeej kills it on Twitter urryday.
ReplyDeleteI did not work today. Will not work tomorrow. But I'm officially back in the game next Monday.
ReplyDeleteKoch Brothers were in big for Pruitt. His farcical behavior was tolerated for very long for that reason. He was very popular in Oklahoma, which was also the only state that had every single county vote for Trump.
