Fidel Castro is dead!

This tweet says it all. It says everything about the election and the appalling state of this nation’s moral and intellectual heart.

No analysis. No introspection. No hopes for the future.  No thought.

Just noise. Just empty, hot air.

This is what we get, it seems. This is what we receive as penance for gay marriage, wider access to healthcare and daring to let a black man lead for eight years.

Fidel Castro is dead!

This is what we get so that a few of the most butt-hurt of this nation’s god-fearing white people can feel comfortable again. Feel as though they not only still matter, but that they’re in control.

Receiving an actual game show host as President seems a steep price to pay for inching toward equal rights at a pace that would make a snail’s race seem like the Kentucky Derby.

Fidel Castro is dead!


America, my heart is forever broken.
