See how I sneakily did that? Instead of using my usual “funday” I used the name of the new hero of the right, Cliven Bundy. So glad to see someone with the Bundy name rise to the level of hero after previous famous Bundys – Al, Ted and McGeorge – had done so much tarnish the name Bundy.

I got word of his heroism by tuning in to some good old terrestrial radio. There’s a guy on there telling me how it’s patriotic not to pay your bills, especially if it is owed to the federal gummint. Because, you see, the federal gummint is evil incarnate and no right thinking American would even believe in it. This guy also reminded me to vote so right thinking Americans can take over the gummint and take away health care and social security and other Commie programs. I am seeing the light and it looks kind of dark.
