The Antidote to Republicans/Romney/Ryan and their ilk

Posted: October 23, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: open thread | Tags: , | 29 Comments

First… Vote! Vote early or vote on election day and vote ANYONE but Republicans/Romney/Ryan and ilk.

Vote communist, socialist, libertarian, democrat, green, WHATEVER …

Then, take a nice relaxing, purifying, long session under the showerhead /bath … you may want to repeat some relaxing mantra that tells you that even the richest of these folks will eventually die and that there is every sign that the country will not have demographics that will even  remotely be in their favor AGAIN.

Heat up or cool off your favorite relaxing drink and let your taste buds thrill you!

and then, finally, find some real religion with a lil Al Green …

This is an open thread and it’s for sharing favorite things.   PERIOD.

I’m really tired of anything even remotely related to having to listen to ONE more right wing meme/lie.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate how much you all keep me sane.  I love and appreciate each and every one of you!  Tonight … fascists like Romney and Ryan are spinning in some hell realm and away from all the other wonderful things on the planet including you and me and the ones we love!!!
