    I have a new Pacino speech:
    “So what exactly are your politics?”
    “Well, I apologize that my graassspp of the english language Is Not written in the storied temples of Harrrvaaad or Yalleee. Fortunately, though, my politics is (sic) very simple. To protect the weak. To feed the hungry. To shelter the homeless. To cure the sick. Those are my politics. That is what I will fight for until the end of this Republic, until the end of days! And when that day comes! When it comes, god forbid, when this Republic is breathing it’s last breath and the Tyrants are swarming over US, and they DEMAND: Noooott to feed the hungry, but to feed the glutonous. Noooott to cure the sick, but to cure the powerful. Noooott to shelter the homeless, but to make the homeless build mansions for others. Nooott to protect the weak, but to protect the powerful from themselves. ON THAT DAY, when the Republic is crumbling all around us, my politics! My politics! Is to politely deign to fliipp them all the biirdd and to tell them all to go straight to hell.
    Those are our politics. Those are my politics.” (“and god willing, with you help, those will be the politics of xyz office.”)

    Bess -
    What did we do to deserve this day? The punishment of Greg all day was both cruel and inhuman.

    Greg has a vulva. I’ve seen it and it’s not pretty, stretched out with a brownish hue.
