Despite the obvious dark cloud looming overhead, the continuous economic bad news. I find myself a bit chipper these days. You see on Nov 4th America finally got it right, we elected not just a man but an idea. The idea that the status qua isn’t the way it has to be, that we can do better, and hope still exists, yes we can. Today isn’t much different then other days, Circuit City just filed for bankruptcy, AIG needs another 150 billion, DHL is cutting 9500 jobs, the same storm can be seen on the horizon rushing in with all its fury. Bring on the thunder.
Today I can actually see past the storm and see a better tomorrow. Call me crazy, perhaps im drinking from the coolaid, but I believe we can finally look up, look forward and start building the future. All I can do at this point is hurry up and wait.
Is this McCains new philosophy? I would tend to think it is. With all the hate monger talk, divisive tactics, and blatant hatred for Obama, McCain just keeps stooping to new lows. I mean Wonder Woman Palin loves to hit the hornets nest at her rallies with a big old stick named “fear and loathing the Obama ticket”. We get to hear cheerful cry’s to “kill him” , “terrorist”, “traitor” at her rallies. While she just sits back and smiles that oh so hot milfy smile. Now they are pulling the last card they have, and that is the power of god. Because if we can count on one thing in America, it is that there is a lot of god fearin jesus freaks. You see god wants McCain to win! Because somehow the radical jesus freak Rev Wright simply wasn’t enough to bring down Obama, now Obama simply isn’t a christian, hes a Muslim, or some other heathen religion that is eternally doomed. Look here at Rev Arnold Conrad before a McCain rally, hes said it himself! If Obama wins! They will all think their god is better then the real god. So c’mon god, isn’t it time to work your magic and intervene just once and bring a big W for McCain?? You know because this is THE most important issue for god that he has ever experienced, so much more then the rape and genocide happening in Africa, so much more then the countless atrocities in the world. Nay i say! God must make McCain win! This my friends is why the world needs to get over religion and kick it to the curb. God is mankind’s tool for hatred, sexism, and control.
So you see since McCain has accepted that he will lose, he will simply tear the country apart on his way out.
As I write this the DOW is down more then 500 points, this coming after the big corporate bailout that was supposed to bring stability to the market. But what most Americans failed to understand is that this wasn’t designed to help us, nor was it supposed to fix the problem. This was inherently designed to allow Banking giants to gobble up all competition for free. They the big banks bought up smaller banks such as Wachovia, WaMu, Countrywide, Lehmans, Bearsterns, Merrill Lynch, etc for pennies on the dollar, then they get a free gift from the US Tax payer as they can bundle up every piece of bad debt tied to these companies and just give them to the US Government. Billion dollar corporations have been bought for nothing. And what do these big banks do in return? chuckle with delight. We are witnessing the largest consolidation of money in the worlds history and it is being robbed straight from our hands.
I am truly baffled how we as a society never learn from mistakes. We watched the banking corporations run this economy into the ground and we in turn give them more money as we believe that they can fix it. What the fuck is wrong with this logic? We continued to do the same things and we are expecting a different result, this is the truest definition of insanity. Welcome to the nut house.
Be proud people. We are living in the, without a doubt, worst time in Americas history. And we are to blame. As long as people continue to think like small minded individuals we will never better ourselves. We limit ourselves to 2 political parties and we choose our candidates that will vote for based on irrelevant things like religion, party affiliation, race, sex and where they come from. We have just gone through 8 years of the worst speaker of the english language as the greatest ruler in the world, and we want it again with a candidate like Sarah Palin. Why do certain sects of society feel this overwhelming need to have our leaders be just like us, Joe six pack. That is in sense saying you yourself could lead this nation, which for most means you cant, but yet you fear someone who’s is intellectually smarter, wiser and better then you. Leaders are supposed to be just that, greater then the whole, its why they lead.
My hope is that one day there will come a time and we the people will say enough. We will do away with irrelevant things like political parties, religion, racism, sexism and do what we can do, and that is do be better. To evolve out of this middle ages mind set and become something far greater. We posses the technology and power to take on unfathomable achievements, we just have to get out of our own way.
So this week I returned from spending 10 glorious days in sunny Florida with 17 of my family members. Yes I did say 17. For anyone who has ever tried to spend a vacation with 17 members of your family, you know and feel my agony.
First off its next to impossible to get all 17 ppl mobilized at once, someone always gets left behind, lost, or forgotten. Dinners always had a little extra magic as the chaos would explode from parents being at the wits end from the long day, kids in tears, and far to many chiefs and not nearly enough indians.
But Disney is great, it does make the trip worth it. There are those little moments when you see your kids face light up as if they are witnessing the greatest thing ever and it makes it all worth it. All the fights, bickers, tears, tantrums become worth it in that one single moment.
Now onto the real things at DisneyWorld that piss me off. Maybe not Disney but well clump it up to vacationing.
First off, I want to give a big shout out to people who drove those fucking scooters.
Anyone who actually needs one of these, I.E. pregnant women, war veterans, disease, etc, etc stop reading now, this does not apply to you. However for the hundreds of fat fucks I saw at DisneyWorld i want to say get off your fat lazy ass and WALK. Let go of that mammoth turkey drum stick and maybe diet and exercise for a change. I kid you not, 8 out of 10 scooters seen were for ppl who were perfectly capable of walking , but they were to fucking fat and lazy to do it. Its pathetic, and the best part is as im standing in line for 30 mins waiting for the Disney shuttle to take me back to the hotel, these mother fuckers stroll up and the bus puts them on first, as if they deserve some special privilege or right for being a sick fat fucking slob. I witnessed one such fat ass who literally couldn’t get there scooter onto the bus ramp to get loaded, the scooter was incapable of pushing itself up and over the 1/2 inch rise due to the weight it was struggling to carry. This isnt a ramp, its literally straight level to get on the bus, your only obstacle is to get your scooter over the thickness of the actual steel lift gate. Stop being fat lazy fucks and get off your enormous ass and be Jared for a year, it cant be that hard.
Airline security i mock you. Can I just say this is a utter bullshit system, we truly live in a system that has taken all real world rational and flushed it down the toilet. Case in point, I was carrying on my mt dew plastic bottle that had maybe 3 ounces left in it. NO SIR!! you must throw that out! But my 2 year old has a full sippy cup, that’s OK baby juice is allowed. OMG that can of shaving gel must be thrown out, the one in a sealed aluminum can. But your 1 liter bottle of contact solution is ok to take on board. I mean wtf!! This is utter bullshit that we are being forced down us. None of this makes one lick of sense and really what the fuck good does it do? If the evil doers are too stupid to figure out that if they want ton get a bomb on board they need to bring a baby or have contacts, then im pretty sure we have nothing to worry. But one can never be to safe, so thank you for letting me know as soon as I walk in a airport that we are currently on orange alert and we need to be fearful!!!!! Wtf does orange alert really fucking mean anyway???
thanks I get it now and feel so much better with your wonderful system!!!
So in short fuck you fat people and fuck you worthless homeland security.
