Angry man say “dangity-dang”,
He go to the park to hangity-hang, but
He’s not crescent fresh!
His whole life’s a mess!

Angry dude with many tattoos,
He's living his life so crudity-rude, and
He’s not crescent fresh!
His short life’s a mess!

Nice-ity guy goes flying a kite, and
Nice-ity girl, she like-ity likes him, and
They’re so crescent fresh!
Super cres at best!

Hippity dude likes hackity-sack,
Don't eat-a the meat, or smoke-a the crack, oh
He's so crescent fresh!
Super cres at best!

He’s crescent fresh!

We’re not voting “for” [the candidates], or at least primarily for them. This election is not about expressing our personal identities and tribal affinities as voters, either. It’s about millions of people who have real things to lose if we elect the wrong person.

So we typed the L, and we say, “Did you get the L?” He says, “Got the L”.”Did you get the O”? “Got the O”. “Got the “G”? Crash! The SRI computer crashed. So the first message ever on the Internet was “Lo”. As in “Lo and Behold.” We couldn’t have anticipated a shorter, more prophetic, more succinct message than “Lo.”

One of the things they love the most about their guy is that they see him as honest—as someone who always tells them what he really thinks. And that’s not wholly wrong. The mistake is confusing Trump’s sincerity for trustworthiness.
