Forget alcohol, everything is better with edibles...I aim to get high as a kite to watch this shit show. I think if I got drunk that show would make me so nuts I might get in a fight with my neighbors lawn gnome ...

Matt, you are a better man than I am, brother. This will be the first time, ever, that I will not watch one minute of either national convention. I do not want to give either of these corrupt parties the satisfaction of wasting my important time to watch that dribble. It will be reading, music, Netflix, or answering emails for these eight days upcoming. These two and a half months can not go by fast enough.

I count on you to do the things I can't! Gave up TV news in 1992 and I've been sober for 28 years! Pokey Joe is not worth falling off the wagon.

I’ve kicked both alcohol and cable news; no correlation. Cable news is kind of like social media in that you can tell who’s spending a few hours a day there. Permanent slow boil, a little too worked up about every piece of tweet-bait

My son asked why the “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” lady is moderating. Bottle of wine long gone

Sadly, I cannot participate. I would quickly die of alcohol poisoning.

I moved to Vermont 12/2019 - Governor Scott signed an executive order in April for Covid-19 Emergency Response we get to have alcohol delivered (in case I run out); with DNC 2020 $#it $#ow the odds are in favor of holistic mind-body numbing - Cheers America!

Regarding your apology in your earlier post, I welcome more posts in my inbox about drinking games, being blasted and other random musings you might have. Keep it up, please.
