…most of the mainstream media, especially the television “news” outlets, will be extremely, negligently soft on their reporting of any scandal that comes out of this, because if they imply anything bad about her, all of her loud, idiotic cult supporters will foam at the mouth and write letters and make angry phone calls and rally their idiotic friends and boycott the networks for a day until they forget why they were angry and get lulled back into their fat corn comas watching their sorry excuse for news on their plasma credit-card-debt TVs in their giant subprime McMansions that are surrounded by nothing but other giant subprime McMansions and are a convenient 45-minute highway drive in their “compact” SUVs to their bullshit jobs at the insurance or financial-services companies that we love so much these days.
Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds are added to those of subduing the force of the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes and the opportunities of fraud growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals engendered by both. No nation could reserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.

- a torn portion of a t-shirt
- 4 inches of what looks like used to be the handle of a backback
For those that don’t know, the flush valve chain lives in the tank of your toilet and connects the lift rod to the flush valve. You see, when you push down on the handle of your toilet, you’re raising the lift rod, which in turn lifts the flush valve at the bottom, which allows the tank’s water to flood the bowl. (What you do is still disgusting).
Most flush valve chains are made of metal, like everything else that has chain in its title. Mine’s not. One of the best parts of subletting is that you get to fix things yourself, and stick your hands into the less filthy half a toilet once a week and reconnect the t-shirt to the plastic spoon, moments after what is then considered the 2nd most shameful thing you’ve done all day.
Aaahaha - thanks for the laugh. (I would do this exactly once then spend a buck on a few inches of chain at the hardware store.)
