Twitticisms - freeform frolic in frivolous fantasies ... or something

Now - impressive to hear Trump use the word 'negotiate' when we have not heard that from the GOP in possibly decades.  The article does not indicate support for him but rather the observation the other candidates or potential candidates from the GOP better not be the same old stiffs (e.g. Ryan) because Trump is much more of a thinker than he seems and there's not much of that elsewhere.

As always, the talented lead and the amateurs go sneaky (e.g. Clinton, Cruz, etc).

For Shan - she was a wonderful woman and a musician to the last word.  She played her last gig while she was dying of cancer.  We have immeasurable respect from her.  This is an older article so the link to the song on the podcast is no longer valid so I will upload another one.  I played at the wake for her and I have done some stuff (i.e. nowhere near enough) which makes me proud.  That wake ran until about four or five in the morning.  Many, many people loved her.

Ann Coulter and Bill Maher - does this really need a description.  Watch and enjoy the horror (larfs).

Axl Rose - a bit of a contentious choice by me but I stand by it.  This is not the same as standing by the history of any band but rather I respect that he stood up to join AC/DC while being pelted with rotten food from every direction.

Silas - only CD-quality audio is being uploaded to the Ride the Dragon Podcast now because we believe MP3 files insult listeners because they are only 1/8th the size of the AIFF masters and the MP3 is sometimes a startlingly-good imitation ... but it's still an imitation and not the same as the master.

Separation - the words are easy to say but apparently difficult to practice, at least in Texas.

Humans - being beautiful for no reason at all except we're good at it when we want to be and people don't get in our faces to force some other agenda.

Now - the man speaks.  The only way he will lose this election is if the Millennials fail to show up.  99% of success in anything is simply showing up.

The Impossibly-Beautiful Men - maybe some freak on something like that and get all gay crazy or some such but we believe it's a fair portrayal here.  As always, you may disagree.  It has nothing to do with being gay.  I just like to make people uncomfortable with their prejudices (larfs).
