Baudelaire
baudelaire
“ Immediately his reason went away. The brightness of this sun of a crepe vanishes; All chaos rolled in this intelligence, Temple once alive, full of order and opulence, Under the ceilings of which so much pomp had him. Silence and night settled in him, as in a vault whose key is lost. From that time he was like the beasts of the street, And when he went away without seeing anything, through the fields, without distinguishing the summers of the winters, Dirty, useless and ugly as a worn thing, He made children the joy and laughter.”
“Often, to amuse themselves, the men of a crew Catch albatrosses, those vast sea birds That indolently follow a ship As it glides over the deep, briny sea. Scarcely have they placed them on the deck Than these kings of the sky, clumsy, ashamed, Pathetically let their great white wings Drag beside them like oars.
That winged voyager, how weak and gauche he is, So beautiful before, now comic and ugly! One man worries his beak with a stubby clay pipe; Another limps, mimics the cripple who once flew! “

So you’d like me if I started preaching gun rights and abortion restrictions? Haha okay
I can’t really begin with 2 or 3 since I doubt you’d care enough to read a paragraph. I’m sorry you’re so angry :// Zoloft helps
It’s hot. Too hot. And climate scientists agree that it’s only going to get hotter. Yet despite the record-breaking heat wave impacting millions of Americans right now, barely anyone in the mainstream media is talking about the elephant in the room.
A new and distressing report from Media Matters reveals that most major broadcast TV networks are completely ignoring the link between unprecedented heat waves and climate change.
In the last week of June, the US was hit by a massive and powerful heat wave stretching right across the country. The dangerous temperatures are like nothing ever seen before, breaking 227 US records in the first week alone.
It would be nice to think that reporters would want to - no, have to - explain to the public why these dangerous and deadly temperatures are becoming more common and more intense. Media Matter’s recent analysis puts that hopeful assumption to rest.
The report analyzed two weeks of TV segments on ABC, CBS and NBC. Out of all 127 segments featuring the US heat wave, only one bothered to mention climate change.

Perseus and Andromeda, 1891, by Frederic Leighton (1830-1896).
This painting depicts the Greek myth of Andromeda. Andromeda was the daughter of the King and Queen of Ethiopia. Her mother made the bold claim that her daughter was more beautiful than any sea nymph. Once hearing this, the sea nymphs called on their father Poseidon to take control of a sea monster, and attack the Ethiopian kingdom. Seeing no alternative, the King and Queen chained their daughter to a rock, sacrificing her.
Heroically, Perseus was flying his famed winged horse Pegasus nearby, and came to save Andromeda by slaying the beast. Perseus and Andromeda then fell in love.
Leighton portrays the moment in which Perseus, seen flying above, shooting arrows at the beast. Andromeda stands helpless and contorted under threat.
False, Trumps tax plans caused INTEREST RATES to increase, how is that helping??? 6 interest rates hikes since trump has taken office???? How big is the deficit??? They cut taxes so the rich could keep even more money, it doesn’t really affect everyone else because we got a smaller tax on our 500 dollars and the rich got a smaller tax on their BILLIONS (an analogy for you buddy. I think that trump hat is cutting off the oxygen going to your brain.)
Title 1 schools budgets gets 1/4 of their budgets from the government, cutting that out means they’d have to fire teachers, have bigger classes, and cut programs, ah yes a lovely idea! If the public school just down children will go into Christian private schools! Lovely!!!! I wonder if they’ll teach science or God...
Please tell me how Killary killed your friends and if she did how isn’t she already in jail??? If you’re saying this you must have proof and if so the police should have seen it... so either you didn’t give them the proof or the police threw it in the trash and are acting like nothing has happened.
The low unemployment trend started under Obama, good try.
How come “fuck no” isn’t an option
So do you believe the tax plan Trump passed was a good one ????
Donald Trump won the presidency because of the identity politics of whiteness.
Donald Trump won because of the idiot politics of the left, it had nothing to do with whiteness. The Republicans could’ve put up a festering boil farm on Rosue Odonnels ass and I’d have voted for that festering boil over Killary or Barney.
Shit, a festering boil farm would’ve had a better tax and budget plan than either Killary or Barney.
