16 August—Due to exceptionally spotty, unreliable (even for) Altice internet service that’s getting worse with each day, daily publication of The Monitor may be delayed or otherwise compromised by and for who the hell knows how long on any given day. And who the hell knows how long that’s going to last.

A senior super-duper top-level managerial expert is guaranteed to solve the internet problem tomorrow. And tomorrow. And tomorrow. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of a monopoly’s bullshit, signifying nothing . . .

16 August—Examples of three types of simple sentences:

Interrogatory: What kind of assholes are about half the country’s practicing Republicans?

Declarative: About half the country’s practicing Republicans are obviously assholes.

Exclamatory: Boy, what bloody assholes about half the country’s practicing Republicans are!

Interrogatory: Do you know why?

Declarative: You must know why.

Exclamatory: Unbefuckinglievable!
