[A]s people go, I am pretty willing to step up and be a grownup, even when other people aren’t. But I am just about at the end of my rope. What that means, in practical terms, is that while early in the 90s I was willing to put various plans on hold for the sake of the country and its fiscal stability, I now think: Democrats’ willingness to be sane and fiscally responsible just enables the Republicans. I am not willing to play that game.
The Democratic Party is the sober responsible spouse who continually cleans up after the out-of-control drunken asshole Republican Party spouse who crashes the car, fucks the babysitter, blows out all the credit cards, and then cries: “It wasn’t my fault; you should have stopped me!”
And the drunken asshole spouse–at least until they completely destroy everything around them–is more fun to drink beer with.

So our choice is to vote for the alcoholics, or vote for the alcoholics’ enablers.
I’m positively brimming with enthusiasm.

We’re electing Dr. Drew? Does that mean a butt plug for every man, woman, and child? I am so onboard.
