Hello Again-Been A Long Time

Okay,I'm over my anger. Unfortunately, I've been over it for a year, but I couldn't get into the damn account. I finally figured out what was wrong today. Brace yourself, it's election time again, and I feel a rant coming on....

Hi There!

Well, I'm back. Don't all cheer at once, now.
So, the Dems are doing nothing constructive, but why should I be surprised? And, of course, we're being asked to swallow the line about Al Qiada having nukes. Yawn.
As for the home-front, my son wants to become a Christian. Ain't that nice? I'd rather he be an atheist or a Buddhist, for cryinoutloud. This is the result of stupid bus drivers, teachers, and ignorant Jews trying to "help" him. How nice. This isn't going to be pretty, but:
DAMN YOU CHRISTIAN-BASTARDS! DAMN YOU TO HELL!
There, I feel better now. Sorry, but I won't take it back, either. If you don't like it, TOUGH. How would you feel if your child was brainwashed? Then stop brainwashing mine. Thank you.

Just Checking...

I saw on one of the conspiracy websites that there are plans afoot to require any blogger who criticizes Bush to register with Congress as a lobby, the refusal to do so being imprisonment, so I decided to test it out.
Not that I believe it's true, mind you, but I really needed a good excuse to bash Dubya and this is as good as any.

BY THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH...

Just a friendly reminder. And let's hope the Dems have enough votes to rescind the Patriot Act, etc., and put the Constitution back in its rightful place! Republicans, you KNOW that Dubya is wrong, so add YOUR votes to the dissent as well. It's perfectly patriotic to say NO to the president. Remember, Congress NEVER declared war, and no president should EVER have that power again. The Constitution still contains the paragraph: "...should any government...become [a tyranny]...the people have the right---THE DUTY---to overthrow it..."
I may not have quoted it exactly, but that's the gist of it. No more partisanship, guys. We The People voted. You work for US, so let's start working together.

Have A Good One...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I wish I could ice-skate. It looks like such fun. Oh well, if we ever get any good snow I still have my snow-shoes.

Maybe God DOES "Protect Drunkards, Fools, And The USA"?

I know. It sounds preposterous, but considering all the blunders and just plain stupid foreign policy decisions of late, you gotta wonder sometimes. Certainly Dubya qualifies on all three counts! Who knows? Maybe there is a compassionate, caring God out there somewhere---or else one who has a sense of humor, at least.
How do we always manage to squeak by? Is it because, no matter how bad we blunder, we honestly do try to do what's right? Or is it that our blunders are sooo calamitous that Somebody "up there" has to "save" us in order to keep the whole universe from self-destructing? For some reason, I tend to think it's the latter. Not that I'm ungrateful, mind you; it's nice to know we can go pretty far before the Powers That Be abandon us to our folly. Of course, that's little consolation for the rest of the world, who have to somehow survive our attempts at "improving" things. As Louis B Mayer of MGM was wont to say, when confronted by needlessly "ingenious" movie scripts: "You've improved it worse!" We can at least all be thankful none of the horrible "what-ifs" (well, maybe some of them, but not the worst) have yet come to pass---despite Dubya's penchant for "improving it worse". And I suppose a God who doesn't have television "up there" must need to watch us for "entertainment". Let's hope He doesn't "do" Nielson Ratings...

It's The "Hell-a-day" Season...

Never fails---crack of dawn that day after Thanksgiving and "tent cities" miraculously appear around Wal-Mart, sometimes stretching for miles as crazed shoppers battle to be first to get their greedy paws on this years "must-have" toy. Normally mild-mannered, friendly neighbors become raging fiends when those doors open at 4a.m., and woe to the hapless store employee who gets in their way! Teeth bared, claws unsheathed, these "holiday" shoppers are ready to kill for those famously-advertised limited quantities ("only six Playstations per store..."), while all the while those caroles grind out endlessly from the loud-speakers....
Good Will Toward Men? Fuhgehdaboudit! No time to help that little old lady who somehow got caught on your cart as you plowed your way through the mad hordes; hey, it's kill or be killed during the shopping season, y'know. She would have most likely driven her wheelchair into you if things had been the other way around, right?
Besides, why the hell do these old cripples always insist on getting ahead of normal people? Don't they know only the strong survive holiday mega-sales? Hell, if they want their grandkids to get this stuff, let'em get on the parents to do it. No red-blooded American parent would allow their little Johnny or Susy to go without that hideously over-priced, sweat-shop-produced (by little hard-working Juanitos y Susitas overseas) flimsy contraption all the poor kids on your blockhave been crying about since September. You care enough to fight for your kids rights to have everything, whether or not they need it---so why don't those? Damn peace-protesters, probably; too busy bawling over filthy kid-terrorists in Iraq to care for their own, naturally. What's this country coming to, I ask you?
Christmas shopping is an American tradition, for cryin out loud! Just like turkey, and the Pilgrims and Indians sitting down to table on the first Thanksgiving... What? You say they didn't celebrate that way? The Pilgrims actually stole the food from the Indians, then let 'em all starve? Well, that's the American Way. Survival of the Fittest and all that. We work hard for what we get, so we're entitled to it. The rest of the world complains----tough! God's on our side....
And so it goes, folks. Have yourself a greedy little Christmas/Chanukah, and don't forget to give thanks to that Almighty Dollar, either. Did someone just say mammon?
