The problem is they are going to be in the convento with all that mierda for a long, long time.

Brilliant line, David! I hope

Brilliant line, David! I hope you don't mind, but I copied it to my fb page, offering it as "the Republican platform and their philosophy of governance as translated into a single line of Spanish." It pretty much says it all.

I get too damn mad just

I get too damn mad just thinking about all this.

There is a Spanish saying that those of us who have one foot in the grave might well apply to ourselves to remain in a state of equanimity. It goes, "Para lo que me queda en el convento, me cago dentro." This is hard to translate into English well because it depends on the rhyme, but literally it says, "For the time remaining to me in the convent, I'll shit inside it".

I hope you find such folk wisdom of comfort in these hours of trial.

And what did they do with all

And what did they do with all those funds, with those guaranties that kept them solvent?

Why they fired half their work force and increased the wages for top management.

And all these organizations and experts are screaming that the felons are using their incredible profits to buy back their own stock rather than investing those funds and creating jobs.

I get too damn mad just thinking about all this.
