OK party people, it’s been a really rough week, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to relent – we have a LOT of rough weeks ahead of us. It’s Friday so go ahead and have an open thread. You can discuss one of the best memes I saw this week, or not.

I thought it was hilarious, even if somewhat painful in a sharp point that stabs at my America-loving soul.
If you don’t know the source of that quote, it really is one every American should know. It is said that upon the closing of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, Benjamin Franklin was leaving Independence Hall when a woman stopped him and asked a question. “Well, Doctor what have we got a republic or a monarchy?” The randy doc answered her, “A REPUBLIC! If you can keep it…” Those five words are very poignant because the American experiment was on shaky ground for many many decades. Some of the founders believed it would be lucky if it lasted 50 years. It is a miracle guided by God that we lasted 240 years. But looking at the dire and disgusting circumstances we find ourselves in, I really wonder how many more we have left.
And on that gloomy note, go get yourself an open thread.
