If you're surprised by this, you're an idiot.
If you're acting surprised, you're an asshole.
If you're not surprised, you're sane.
If you're sane, you should be mad.
If you're mad, you're probably also feeling like you're going insane.
If you ARE going insane like I am, thank goodness. We're in good company!
As Emily Dickinson wrote in poem 620, "Much Madness is divinest Sense --"; and our "divinest Sense" gives us a kind of emotional clarity.
So, as the crazy ones we're also the most sensible.
Being that we're so sensible, let's never, ever be or act surprised.
For the next four to eight years, this is our American Insane Asylum and we're the most level-headed ones in it.
How's your padded cell (or "personal safety room")? Mine's in tatters.
