ONE NAKED FARMER (1NF)

PENZEYS ....

I don’t know if you got the chance to glance at any of today’s headlines, but today the Republican Party as we’ve come to know it officially came to an end. Sure, those in control are going to lurch around for a bit and fling chaos in every direction as their power melts away, but as of today it is done. The time is now for everyone across the entire political spectrum to come together and rejoice! Hip-Hip-Hooray! Hip-Hip-Hooray! Hip-Hip-Hooray!

Today is also a good day to point out that what has happened to our politics over these past decades has never been an attack on liberalism. Liberalism has flourished in these times. Season Liberally™ is now a Penzeys trademark and it’s probably pretty valuable as trademarks go. The target of the unlimited political spending that has done such great damage to America has always been our conservative values. And up until today they’ve hit their mark time and time again, not only taking control of the Republican Party, but ridding it of everything that lives within the values of conservation. Today is a day for conservatives to rejoice as well.

But none of today’s goodness could have happened without people just like you keeping your hope alive, without people just like you continuing to care. The rule of law made a big return in America today, but that could never have happened if there were no one like you still caring that there is a difference between right and wrong. Thank you! This is the evening to get your free fortified $30+ Vote for Hope box with added Soul Pin and Embrace Hope magnet. You’ve earned it.

For your well-earned box of hope visit us at penzeys.com and enter 11320 in the apply code box at checkout. No need to place the Vote for Hope box in your basket, the code will do that for you and for free. Shipping charges will apply but we’ve tried to help with that, too. Until midnight our usual $40 minimum for free shipping is just $30, and if even that level of spending is beyond your reach right now, we’ve halved our shipping rate on orders under $30 to just $3.95. This is too good of a day and too good of a deal to not find a home for one of these hopeful boxes.

And if you’re not sure how to reach $30 in spending to get your free shipping, we’ve made additional Hope boxes just $10 each to simplify the math. They make great gifts and the holidays aren’t that far off.

And I say this without snark and without any conscious desire to manipulate, but today really was a very-very good day for conservatives. It’s the forces that took control of your party and stripped it of its values that lost today. There is absolutely no reason conservatives can’t be on the good guys’ side when it comes to racism, health care, refugees, affordable accessible birth control, gender equality, and pretty much every pressing issue of today. Conservation was virtually named after you. The forces that twisted conservative values into opposing conservation lost big today. That is a Victory for every living thing on this planet. Seriously, REJOICE!!!

Our nation’s enemies didn’t co-opt the Republican Party for no reason. America and its voice for freedom and against dictatorships matter to people everywhere. We have our work cut out for us to unravel the corruption that has taken hold of the republican-held branches of our government. To truly mend this damage both conservatives and liberals will have to find common goals. To get back on course America is going to need both our oars in the water. It’s time for you conservatives to get off of the sidelines and back into the game.

And I respect conservatives too much to cut republicans any slack until they’ve rooted out every bit of the virus that took over their party and turned it into a force for radiating cruelty. Or maybe the time has come to bury the republican brand and restart as something new or simply become a branch of the party still standing. Either way, after today those of you who see yourselves as conservatives now have your chance to take back your values. The opening is right there in front of you. Please get to it.

This is too good of a day and too good of a deal to miss the midnight deadline for free Hope, Soul and a V for this Victory. Act now, and get your free Vote for Hope box to remember this day. Salsa/Pico is awesome and so easy to use. America’s future is a tasty one. Just remember the key to your free hope and to righting America’s future is 11320. Act now!

SOME QUOTES

MARGARET ATWOOD

Stupidity is the same as evil if you judge by the results.

DOROTHY ALLISON

If it’s true, I have the absolute right to terrify you with it.

CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS

I am absolutely convinced that the main source of hate in the world is religion and organized religion. Absolutely convinced of that. And I think it should be - religion - treated with ridicule, hatred, and contempt.

So when I say that I think religion poisons everything, I’m not just doing what publishers like and coming up with a provocative subtitle. I mean to say it infects us in our most basic integrity.

It says we can’t be moral without “Big Brother,” without a totalitarian permission. It means we can’t be good to one another without this. It means we must be afraid.

We must also be forced to love someone whom we fear - the essence of sado-masochism, the essence of abjection, the essence of the Master/Slave relationship. And that it knows death is coming, and can’t wait to bring it on.

I say that is Evil.

And though I do, some nights, stay home, I enjoy more the nights when I go out and fight against this ultimate wickedness and this ultimate stupidity.

JACK LONDON

The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time living.

ROBERT A. HEINLEIN

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, and die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

STEPHEN BATCHELOR

It has taken four billion years of evolution to generate this kind of organism with this kind of brain, and yet we wake up in the morning and feel bored. How extraordinary it is to be here at all!

DOROTHY PARKER

Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.

URSULA K. LE GUIN

There’s no right answer to the wrong question. Now what do we do?

CARL SAGAN

I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time – when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues.

When the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.

The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites - now down to 10 seconds or less - lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.

MARGARET MEAD

It seems to me very important to continue to distinguish between two evils. It may be necessary temporarily to accept a lesser evil, but one must never label a necessary evil as good.
