Unattended Fire

This may be evidence I am collecting to support my theory that, much like the plot in Idiocracy, this country is full of stupid people, followers and idiots, and we only have a limited time left. I mean look a the amount of people who follow Glen Beck, Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh. All of that just equals a damned shame. But freedom of speech is there for all of us - including the idiots and the zealots and the idiotic zealots.

Photo: I watched this fire burn nearly out of control on the sidewalk in front of a motel room by the drive-thru I was waiting in. I hope the owner of the fire was right inside the room watching it, but somehow I doubt it.

Barack My Vote

I was telling my husband this evening that this is the fifth presidential election that I have voted in, and I have never been so excited to vote for a person. I voted for Clinton the second time around, but my enthusiasm for him does not compare to the absolute hope and excitement I feel about voting for Obama. I believe this man can bring great change in our nation. I want to feel proud to be an American again and I think he can inspire change and lead us in a better direction. We need this country to be about the people and for the people. Not for the oil companies. Not for the drug companies. Not for the insurance companies. Corporate greed has poisoned this place. I am tired of greedy men and waring men. It is time to not be lulled by these entities and scared into needless war and suffering. I hope you get out there and vote for Barack!

Here is a little flash back with the Wazzzzup!!!!! commercial and how the guys have fared 8 years into the Bush administration. I hope what you see at the end of it is what we see tomorrow and hopefully before midnight!!

The Governor in Red Leather

The Governor in Red Leather...the one with $150,000 make-overs, and $17,000 per diems, when so many "Joe-Six Packs" and "Susie Soccer Moms" (uh, the fem version may not be correct...I usually quit listening after the first grossly inaccurate blanket description) wish they had an extra $17 for their meager per diem...

That governor? Why yes. And to not be outdone, McCain found his own "Joe Six pack" in "Joe the Plumber". But that is an actual man...was Joe prepared to face the kind of scrutiny he has faced as he was being used as McCain's patsy? Yeah, he is a patsy. Fuck, most Americans are, aren't they? Well, I hope it is more like they were! We have 10 more days to get enough people to wake up and realize that if they do own that descriptor, "Joe the Plumber", they are, in fact, a very average American. Republicans do not want to give you tax breaks. They want you to vote them in so they can get the tax breaks and break the rules for their rich and powerful friends. They want to continue to poison America with their greed. Oh, they will throw you a bone every once in a while and give you enough to buy a fucking TV, or invest in their corporations, once they realize they need to reel you back in. But remember to add that to your income on your next return.

Traditional Marriage Is An Antiquated Notion

I think instead of trying to legalize gay marriage, we should reexamine marriage in its entirety, and change the paradigm about what marriage really is in respect to the law and government. I believe that marriage, as we know it, is an antiquated notion in our society. If you take the romanticism out of the arrangement, what you have is truly a business arrangement and a partnership. This business arrangement and partnership is based on a mutual trust and respect, with love as a motivation. This does not and should not have to be held to the beliefs of a faction of society that only believes that it is exclusively a union between a man and a woman. It should be a union between any two people who choose to pursue it. The religious aspects of the union should be completely removed from the process as far as the legal part of it is concerned. If a couple chooses to have their marriage "blessed" my their church in a traditional marriage ceremony, then that would be a completely separate and private arrangement.

Another Great One

Another SNL Palin clip

Nothing to add...

SNL - Palin and Clinton

OK, this is hilarious...and by the way, if you do not just assume you know what it means, a "flerg" is something that gives a man a flaccid penis.

Love it! "In conclusion, I invite the media to grow a pair. And if you cannot, I will lend you mine."

Now that is fucking priceless.

By the way, Tina Fey is Palin's twin - nothing against Fey!

Lipstick

You can put lipstick on a pig, but Sarah Palin is still a crazy bitch. Specifically a pitbull. Hey, she said it.

I am so sick of politics right now. It is quite sad that America will keep the Republicans in office when it is obvious they are destroying this country. When he chose Palin I thought, what a ploy! Who in the hell is going to fall for that?? Well, I should have known better. I think we need to reevaluate who gets to vote in this country. There should be an IQ test.

Numbers...

About to Listen

The other day I accidentally turned the channel to Cspan2. Yes, I am serious. My clunky right hand hit the wrong buttons and there it was. Some older gentleman was being interviewed under the hot-looking gymnasium and television lights. I recognized the name on the bottom of the screen...Vincent Bugliosi. I have always been a fan of his work. He was the deputy DA that successfully put Manson away. I read his first book, Helter Skelter, when I was around 15. Now I am ready to "read" another of his works, The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder. Actually I bought the audio version from iTunes. I intend to keep an open mind while listening...we shall see how that goes.

Read the wiki for more.

Like a Duck

Actually a goose...went to gallery hop tonight. It was around the time that the sidewalks were overly crowded with people. If you know me then you know crowds are not my thing. So, I started to walk in the street at times. Which reminded me of all the Canadian geese at work, who, incidentally, cause me to hop-scotch along the sidewalks because of their piles of green excrement. But I digress. As we were walking to Caribou the other day we walked up on about 30 geese. They all took off moving exceptionally fast in fear of us, which surprised me. Off to the pond, they went, to eat more fish and grass so they would have ammunition for my shoes and give me reason to skip. So, off to feed our caffeine addictions we went. On the way back we saw the same gaggle of geese sloooooowly walking across the street in front of a car. So, my point, just in case you missed it, is I would rather take my chances with a 2 ton vehicle in the street that could mow me down than with a bunch of unruly humans on the sidewalk.

Handlebars

I think I like this animated version of Handlebars better than the video with the children. It brings a little more of a story behind the lyrics. Plus, I like how they have animated a comic-book-like style. I am not sure whether the intent of the lyrics is about the government, corporations, or the young people in this world that make grand plans to blow away the people around them. Or maybe you can apply its message to any of those psychotic entities.

Speaking of psychotic entities...

Here is the version of the video. Evidently, Universal Music Group likes to keep people from embedding videos to their blogs, or else you could just watch it here.

Happy Endings

A funny quote from the BBC:

"America loves happy endings, but I am not sure whether Hillary is prepared to give the Democrats one."

The Infamous Backroom

There is a place called the NewsStand on 161. I like to go there to stock up on art magazines...sometimes. They usually have all the magazines about art and design that I am into. But there is one exception to my liking the place. The art magazines are situated by the back room. The back room holds all of the adult magazines. So, the shy guys (and surprisingly, they are all shy) have to stand around and pretend they are interested in art before they finally feel comfortable enough to go in the back room.
It is annoying. Why be so ashamed of your sexuality? I say make a beeline for that porn and be proud. Hell yeah.
