OK I needed that laugh really really really badly. Thank you :)
Thanks for taking a look, Pisha, and for your kind words. We're allowed to feel like crap for a little while, but after that -- fight for justice and defy the incoming tyrant. -----------------------------BA
I'm beginning to feel that a Trump victory is more likely than I thought.
Unlike the relative clarity of Sport -- he seems to have more points in one category and fewer points in another category, but still, as you point out, a Trump presidency (we can probably say with more certainty than before) appears to be on the horizon. The following things can still intervene: (1) An exception in The Literature (2) French scientists release whatever they've got pent up in that supper collider [sic] except the French have not done enough research as to the partisan leanings of this entity (3) Currently, they're colliding Mac 'n' Fromage, in the supper collider [sic] (4) Somehow we unbutton a curtain, and step through, into another America (5) I mean, pretty much -- ANY OTHER AMERICA WOULD DO.

Nah. The Cavs'll sweep Trump in 4. #Believe

LeBron strenuously opposed Trump, as I recall. He ends a massive drought -- through play and captaincy -- and what? Ohio returns that favor by presenting LeBron with a massive turd burger. Hmmmm. LeBron: Here is a title. Ohio: Here is Trump. God awakes, briefly, and sez: I am not from America, you dolts. While the earth warms......
