We used to put these fucking people in homes, for their protection and ours. Thanks Reagan. p.s It is my understanding that most of those places sucked, but that’s not why he killed them all. He should have made them better instead. Then maybe it wouldn’t be so stupid here. ---

God, I’ve got to say, you didn’t need to flood the world. You could have solved the great wickedness of man and the corruption of your creation through negotiation. Have you read art of the deal? (Just a joke, obv. If the flood myth were real then negotiation would indeed be better than worldwide genocide) ---

“And Lot, he really cared about his daughters, just the same love I have for Ivanka. We’re both great fathers, just the best. They moved to a very exclusive cave after the Democrats of Sodom forced them to leave. Unfair. Cave-a-largo. Caves are very deep holes where you can live. No one ever thought about living in a cave before.” ---

Montanans don’t call off school lightly. I know that the last time Montana State University called off due to weather was after Mount Saint Helens, when the town got three inches of ash. You just dress for it. Though yeah, I have no idea what school buses are supposed to have to do with wind turbines. ---
