caveat emptor, morons

I was talking to an old buddy of mine yesterday. Guy I knew in the service. He told me he was on the fence about Barry. Like he might not vote for me, even. 

I was blown away.

He said "Look, Jammy ... " - that was my nick name back in '63, I can't remember why - "Jammy, this whole Ayers thing you guys dragged up made me think. And I don't like what I'm thinking about you. It's just ... too ugly. Why sling mud when half the fucking country's in some loopy spin every paycheck?"

So I levelled. I brought out the big guns. "You know he's black, right? I mean, doesn't anyone see this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here. Okay, so he's technically half black, but he married a fully black woman. That's like 3/4 black. Math doesn't lie."

He hung up. Moron. If you vote for Barry, you deserve him, asshole.
