Thanksgiving?
Frankly, I don’t have the time, am too broke and too lazy to travel this year for Thanksgiving, so for the first time ever, I’m ditching my wonderful and much-loved extended family to hold a Thanksgiving for my New York friends at my house (which, as soon as my mom found out about, she decided to forgo travel and spend the holiday with my friends as well.

I gagged as I tried to keep the vomit down and attempted to push back the pulsing pain of my head. I tried to pull my memories from the night before, but it was as if these memories were completely gone, as if someone reached into my mind and ripped them away.

In other words, he’s helped drag us down into his sick nihilism by making us like too many other bellicose societies in history — the ones that aggressively cheer on killing, as long...
