Please take a moment to celebrate the amazing phenomenon that is our very own TheFerret on what is his five year anniversary.
❤ ❤
I don't think I'm alone in thinking that he has been a breath of fresh air, among other things, and I wanted to let him know that we appreciate him, warts and all.
To quote him, with a twist, he is and has been...
Snip
"... the hero we deserve" and "the one we need right now, ..."
Snip...
https://showercapblog.com/about-shower-cap/
For five glorious years, he has faithfully entertained and educated us through (while simultaneously distracting us from) our "American Maddness" with his blog.*
He describes his Shower Cap persona in an interview with Comics Experience** as
" sort of gleefully juvenile and profane, righteously angry, kind of a can you [expletive deleted] believe this [expletive deleted] voice."
And I believe it's all that, but it's much, much more.
With his eloquence, his rapier wit and raw honesty he has made us laugh, lifted us up and created a patriotic landing pad for us. Like a very good friend, he's been devoted to the Democratic cause with unwavering regularity.
So, if you agree and if you're able, please take a moment to help me celebrate our five years with this special DUer. It's time.
You can also buy him a beer if you're able.*** But dont be mistaken, liking beer is where any similarity he has to Justice Crybaby ends.
Thanks so much John for all the laughs and your dedication to our sanity. Here's to yours and hopefully to another five years.
Thank you.

(2,590 posts)tRumpian era, I used to laugh my ass off with his hilarious depiction of those assclown years. Still reading, but a year into the Biden admin it's getting harder to laugh at the retrumplican shit heel buffoonery of the Putin party that has crawled up the collective American ass and proceeded to chew away. I'm exhausted and can't even laugh any longer.

Id be more likely to contribute to your efforts if you accepted payments through PayPal, ApplePay, or Venmo.
Im not familiar with Cash App and am not keen on sending my billing info to them for one vendor as awesome as that vendor may be.

(1,200 posts)A phrase i screenshot & look at occasionally is the comment about being along for the trump ride was like "being thrown into a dryer full of hammers and badgers" daily. Or something to that effect.
Perfect.

Excellent recaps of the week's jackassery, wrapped in acidic humor. Rare indeed.
