In 10 years or so, we won't even recognize America

this happens to anyone who lives past middle age, the scenery begins to change, the landscape and the landmarks are all different and replaced, and the America of your childhood morphs into something you don't recognize.

when the maniacs currently in charge are through, America will be uglier, meaner, broker, more paranoid, terrorized, hungrier, more unemployed and unstable. it's amazing what they've done in only four trips around the sun.

"may you live in interesting times"....

9. Give me 3 things other than eggs

They're great in pasta or beer- but that's not breakfast food. Except under the most desperate circumstances.

7. You're alive, you're not in jail (I'm guessing)...

and you're going to have breakfast.

If you're healthy, have an income and have something to come home to, then it's pretty much a pick-six win... these days anyway.
