Inconvenient Truths

oselleI've been drinking since I got home and I got some things to say to you people.
1) The next person associated with Supernatural who makes reference to the Book of RevelationS is going to get my foot up their ass. It's the Book of Revelation. Singular. Revelation. Pick up a fuckin' Bible if you're gonna be riffing on it. Hell, check into any motel room in America and there'll be one just sitting there in the nightstand.
2) George Bush's last press conference -- was he drunk or just letting his stupid-flag fly really high? Eight years of this cranky little brat? Dear God, it's a wonder there's a country left.
3) Sticking with a theme from (2), every time ANYONE in the press talks about how the country is in the worst straits it's been in since the Depression the names of BUSH and REPUBLICANS should be included in the sentence because they're the cocksuckers who got us here. I'm sick of anyone acting like we somehow wound up here by accident or by some kind of natural cycle of things. Bullshit. Things don't get this fucked up without a concerted effort.
4) Sarah Palin and Ann Coulter are kind of a fun freakshow but please to be going away now.
5) Jensen Ackles and Danneel Harris will probably get married and have lots of toothsome babies and people will STILL be saying that she's a beard. I find her pretty in a surprisingly average way but anyone's gonna look just average standing next to Jensen Ackles. From what I've seen she seems to have a pretty big rack as do some of Jensen's previous girlfriends (there was a Playboy Bunny in there, wasn't there?) He must be a breast man. Which would put me immediately out of the running. Not that I'd ever have been in the running, tits or not.
6) Speaking of tits, sometimes when I come across a picture of myself from when I was in my early twenties and really blonde and cute and slutty-dressing I wonder why I just didn't get a boob job because if I had you know where I'd be right now? EASY STREET. That's right, EASY STREET, not living in some three-room co-op that's not gonna be paid off for another 26 years. My advice to all remotely attractive young women out there is GET A BOOB JOB and BE A TROPHY WIFE.
7) I had a little health scare recently and it turned out to be nothing and I was secretly disappointed. I just don't know how anyone can feel as persistently sick as I do and have nothing wrong with them. Someday...SOMEDAY they will find out that I'm just RIDDLED with some exotic cancer and that'll SHOW YOU ALL. SO THERE.
8) Mickey Rourke thanked his dogs, living and deceased, during his Golden Globes acceptance speech last night. He said this: “Sometimes when you’re alone, all you got is your dog and they meant the world to me.” You tell 'em, Mickey. You tell 'em.
9) Maybe I just don't get Twitter but I find it deeply annoying. Like we need more sound bites. The whole world's already been reduced to a fucking sound bite.
10) Bottle's empty. Screw.

Date: 2009-01-13 03:39 pm (UTC)It's a frustrating pattern to see these crooks earn their millions simply by undergoing a few hours of grilling by Congress. A big example is the manager at BP Oil who negelected the Alaska pipeline to where it leaked and they had to shut it down (remember that?). He went in front of Congress all penitent, and I think he "lost" his job. Bullshit. I'd bet money that the CEO's at BP gave the guy huge bonuses when returned home. A few hours of humiliation is a small price to pay compared to all the maintenacne money they saved over the years.
The economic model is similar, by the way. It comes down to time-delay in infrastructure. Infrastructure generally has a 25-30 pipeline. Problem is, you have to keep feeding $$$ into of the pipe to keep the results flowing out the other end, 30 years later. For example, you have to spend education money NOW to get good graduates 20 years from now. Or you have to spend research money NOW to get good inventions 30 years from now. (the cell phone took 50 years to get where it is today).
30 years is a long time. Republicans would rather buy toys with the money NOW than look to the future. They stopped feeding money into the pipe 25 years ago. The most egregious example was Reagan ripping the solar panels off the White House. As a result, we lost 20 years of energy research. Ditto for roads, bridges, education, health care...and gee gosh doggone it you betcha, just now we're running out of old innovation to exploit, and nothing new in the pipeline.
And then they complain that Europe is ahead of us. NO SHIT. And then when Obama says "hey, we need to start that pipeline back up" oh-so-suddenly the Republicans whiiiiiiiine How are we going to pay for it...waaaaaahhh. Assholes, through and through.
Joe Six Pack is too stupid to think it through, but I think they're slowly catching on to the vague idea that "conservative is bad, they make me lose my job." That may be enough for now.

Date: 2009-01-13 12:09 pm (UTC)Everything on me checks out as normal and yet I have no energy, I have a chronic cough and cold that I CANNOT get rid of, I'm depressed as hell and I feel sick as a dog all of the time. But there's nothing wrong with me.
