Betsy DeVos, a galactically rich and galactically evil anti-public school, anti-gay rights donor appointed by Donald Trump to be our country’s next Education Secretary, is going through confirmation hearings tonight (sports angle: her shitty father owns the Orlando Magic). She was asked about guns in schools. She said it was worth exploring. Her reasoning? “Grizzly bears.”

This is no-shit good advice. I can’t tell you how many times through my years in California’s public school system my classmates and I were threatened by grizzly bears. Once at recess, I kicked the ball too far and my friend Chris had to go get it. He never came back and a week later they found his mangled body in a local grizzly bear den. The memory still haunts me to this day. I miss you Chris. I’m sorry.

What does this bring to mind? Oh yes:

It’s a bit annoying and very melodramatic.

But, how am I going to know when my power will go out, murder will start occurring in the streets and people will be fighting over bread scraps?!?!?

Add 17 months to Warb’s countdown clock.

  1. you can just ignore it and scroll past it. no big deal

Same can be said about all posts from certain people you call trolls.

which everyone kept telling me to do. But now that the shoe is on the other foot, its not?

Also there is big difference between my countdown and someone making personal attacks.

I’m sure we could get Warb to start his own thread for it. Maybe he’d let you bunk with him in Niagra once the crap flies.

Well yeah ok. The only one who should be blamed for his obnoxious countdown is him, unless a Trump voter got ahold of his password.

Ok, tell you what. You swear to never call anyone a troll again and I’ll swear to never complain about your countdown again.

Also there is big difference between my countdown and someone making personal attacks.

Of course. Doesn’t mean your countdown isn’t obnoxious.

sorry, no deal. If someone is a troll, I am going to call them a troll.

Why is my countdown obnoxious?

perhaps, a little when you are posting each count 1 second after the previous one. Mine was just one a day.

Yeah well you typically sigh more than once a week so that wouldn’t have worked.
