He\u2019s gone<\/a>.\u00a0 The dream is over.\u00a0 Spartacus is now hanging from a cross along the Appian Way waiting for Varinia and Batiatus to show him baby Spartacus Junior as they head off to freedom while he dies horribly and painfully<\/a>.\u00a0 Okay, it\u2019s not exactly like that but I do enjoy making fun of Booker.<\/p>\n

We still have Bernie and Creepy Uncle Joe and Fauxcahantas but it\u2019s just not the same.\u00a0 Booker was the whole package.\u00a0 He was sexually ambivalent, unauthentically black, delusional about what America wanted, he had bug eyes and a funny voice.\u00a0 He had so much to give.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll muddle through without him.\u00a0 We\u2019ll remember all the great moments during the debates when he told us all about slavery reparations and green new deals and billions and trillions and maybe someday quadrillions of dollars that the government would shower on people who didn\u2019t want to work.\u00a0 We\u2019ll go on, but we\u2019ll never be that young again.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019m really still in denial.\u00a0 I keep thinking maybe he\u2019ll come back as a running mate or maybe he could become an announcer for the WWE or maybe he could replace Jussie Smollett on Empire.\u00a0 But no it will not be.\u00a0 He\u2019s gone.\u00a0 I\u2019ve reached the final stage, acceptance.<\/p>\n

Okay, I\u2019m good.\u00a0 Now let me listen to how Iran is self-destructing<\/a> after President Trump delivered a haymaker to their regime\u2019s credibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
