...so is Mac still alive?

[JJCH raining cats and dogs]

I would assume so, unless he's moved to Paraguay, which would be an extreme move.

Mac old chum, are you out there? If I can remember find my log in I'll PM you.

He's probably sulking because he's got competition from General Apathy for the 2017 Frother's Most Prolix Prat award.

Mac doesn't sulk, based on his whinging posts...

He's probably hiding from the right-wing death squads composed of reprogrammed transgendered cyberized Christians sent from the future...

And I thought Aaron Hernandez, prior to his suicide, was getting a ridiculously sympathetic treatment...

Bruno to Return to Prison for Girlfriend's Murder After Signing with Boa Esporte

The Brazilian supreme court ordered goalkeeper Bruno Fernandes de Souza to return to prison to serve the remainder of the 22-year sentence he received in the death of Eliza Samudio, the Associated Press (via the Guardian) reported Tuesday.

In March, Souza signed a deal with Boa Esporte, a club in the Brazilian second division. The 32-year-old had been released from prison while the court reviewed his appeal.

SportsNet New York's Aaron Bauer noted Souza's contract with Boa Esporte can be nullified in the event he goes back to prison.

In 2013, a Brazilian jury found Souza found guilty of ordering Samudio's murder. The BBC reported Samudio was strangled, with her remains fed to dogs.

After signing with Boa Esporte, Souza attempted to play down the significance of his criminal past.

"Dude, what happened, happened. I made a mistake, a serious one, but mistakes happens in life—I'm not a bad guy," he said, per the Guardian's David Hills. "People tried to bury my dream because of one mistake, but I asked God for forgiveness, so I’m carrying on with my career, dude. I’m starting over."

I know you haven't noticed, dipshit, but things are getting a wee bit bloody down here. When it tips into the pot -- and it almost certainly will -- I am going to personally remind you, for a very long time, how you thought this was all a laugh a minute.

As for myself, in the last few months, I lost twenty percent of my paycheck to "reforms",, as has my partner. My mother-in-law hasn't seen a dime of her retirement pension in four months. The state univeristy where many of my friends teach is closed and they have lost thirty percent of their paycheck. My niece was wrongly accused of being a thief and almost lynched as a result. We've been pepper gassed three times now at perfectly legal protests that have been illegally broken up by the shock troops. Yesterday was the third time.

No death squads for the likes of me, yet, but we're getting there, slowly but surely. The past twelve months have seen a huge uptick in killings by police and death squads. Democracy looks like it's on the way out. Oh, and just for chuckles, someone seems to have murdered a supreme court justice and no one seems to be worried about it.

On a personal level, my mentor of twenty years died after a long and tiring battle with cancer and, just to keep the jollies rolling, last week, I dislocated my knee and ankle in a bad fall because our privatized university cleaning crews were mopping the floors without proper warning signs, in a corridor that was unlit because the university doesn't have cash for lightbulbs

And before the cracks about "third world shit holes" begin, let me point out that the U.S. And Britain seem bound and determined to follow Brazil as shining example of Best Practices, not the other way around.

So hah fucking hah, Condi. Seeing as how you find this all so amusing, accept my most solemn hopes and heartfelt hopes that you and your family will soon be getting a good taste of the trivial shit we are going through. After all, this sort of stuff seems to be trending internationally, these days.

As for Bruno, I am surprised Moonbat isn't ranting about how he's a victim of politically correct feminist persecution. I mean, he said he's sorry for chopping his girlfriend up for dogfood and if he's right with Jesus, why can't the hairy-armpit shrew brigade leave him alone?

It's probably all Obama's fault.

I hope things start improving for you soon Macunaima. Good luck.

Mac, log in and clear your inbox okay. PM waiting.
No shit, serious stuff.

In other words, same old same old...

He's like Frank, but not as adorable...

As for your post apocalyptic fantasies concerning these United States...

I welcome the rise of the Principality of Novum Anglorum (Secundus*)...

* The short lived Novum Anglorum was in the Crimea, established by post 1066 Anglo-Saxon exiles...
