Ooooh, Brother Michael: That was wicked! This isn't "Gangs of New York"; we don't attack our Fellow Fenians anymore, Bro!
I deserve your admonishment, Don.
Michael, there was no call for that behavior, and I apologize. I must now isolate myself, and engage in some
serious self-examination.
...It's just that I felt the need to come to the defense of my adopted home. Everybody picks on California.
It gets kicked around so much, you'd think it was a ********,... like Texas.
Oops. There I go again. Just kidding. I love Texas.
My sister lives there, and speaks
endlessly about the beautiful, wide open landscapes, the warm friendly people, the mild weather.
...It's
Washington that's a miserable, god-forsaken armpit.
*********! WTF is happening to me?
Washington is a fantastic state, ...if you're a trout.
(Niehart put me up to this.)
