Oh, reeeeealy, Winston. I talk about the fall of the 'Murrican

Event Horizon:
"In layman's terms it is defined as "the point of no return"
i.e. the point at which the gravitational pull becomes so
great as to make escape impossible."

Well, if American politics today isn't a black hole, what is?


That is general enough to mean any precipitous irreversible
change that is likely to have dire consequences.
The fall of our empire and "Doomsday" can both
be described that way.

OK, I'll let you say that, just once.

Can you not discern a slight
difference between the two?

BTDT, and someone's entire lid got rolled up in the Big Bambu paper
got passed around by about twenty people at the Sandy Eggo Sports
Aroma before Florescent Leech and Eddy warmed up for the Allman
Brothers... I think that was two lives ago.
