The party never stops!

Never voting for these two clowns again. 

seriously. I'm going to use politicians reactions to this debacle as a voting guide in November.

So am I.

Just not sure which WAY.  Responsible vs Burn it all down.   

I have no shame.

For later.

Damn you, Websense.  Damn you.

A team of two can make a perfectly functioning human brain in about 9 months.

I had that coming.

The difference between a stage magician and a policitician is the type of stage used.

Only this, and nothing more.

I get the feeling it's all sleight of hand designed to keep us looking in one direction while the real objective is elsewhere.

HELLO?  BUELLER?

Snowe is pretty much in lockstep with her "Mavericky" buddy McCain.

Aw, shit.   

 "It's insensitive to the vicitms",

Sensitivity trumps rights.

Dear America,

The 9th anniversary of Pearl Harbor was 1950.  We had already moved on to Korea by then.

And that girl, the one who stood you up at the homecoming dance?  That was 30 years ago.  

GET OVER IT.

The Dems didn't really have a platform except 'Yes we can.' If course the folded.

They had a platform.

WHAT HE SAID!

I thought I'd pass a little of the wisdom I've picked up in my advanced age, to make up for all the horrible lies and misdirection I've spewed at innocent strangers.

Dok, the more I ponder this situation, the more I understand and support how you're handling it.  For all the posturing and pretending at "Order" or "Civilization", things are everywhere taking an odd slide into the mess.  Every yammerer is findign an ear, every concern a placation.  People are driving themselves mad with tiny self reversing reasonabiltites and middle ground solutions that cannot add up to a workable whole.  

One little pig wanted to build his house out of stone.  Another little pig wanted to build his house of of shit.  The exploratory senate comitee on porcine building decided that a shit centric building rubric would be most sensitive to all parties, and subisized the contruction of horrible slouchign hovels.  No one thought to suggest brick, except for a bright eyed intern who was strung up for cultural insensitivity.

The approach you described to me is the only sensible one really.  Being a good spirited reasonable person with most of these impersonal jackholes will do nothing except discourage you.  They won't reciprocate, and only wear you down for the people who are worth it.  May as well be a nut at them.  You know the Japanese concept of "tatami" right, it remidns me of that.  The "Public face" for people you meet day to day and only interact with superficially?  Makes sense.  Maybe cyncial, but practical.  (IIRC Tatami also refers to a basic woven floor mat.  Again, makes some cynical sense.)  Sort of reminds me of that.  You've also got the tact and wherewithall know when to apply this as well, and when to be more level.  I've seen this in your writing as well as what you do IRL.  

(If my own experience is anything to go by, just be careful that the vibe doesn't get stuck "On", which it can.)

I plan to act without thinking at all, for the next two weeks.

For SCIENCE.

What band is that?  I must listen to them.

The Clash

Whoa.  I thought I'd heard all of their shit.  (Can't listen right now.  Later tonight.)

What band is that?  I must listen to them.

1.  Never say never.

2.  Primates exist to make more primates, so they'll have more sources/targets of irritation.

3.  Be careful what you wish for, because there's usually no takebacks.

4.  Sometimes people just need to vent.  If a friend starts complaining about the unfixable, just listen.

5.  You hear more with your nose and your eyes than you do with your ears.

6.  Sometimes you just have to say "fuck it", and do something grotesque and/or stupid.  Life is too short to talk about being weird or filthy and crude.  Impulsiveness almost always causes problems, but it also breaks the monotony.

7.  Chevrolet hasn't made a good car since the Corsica.  The future isn't looking too bright, either.

8.  The only three things you have in life are life, health, and friends.  Nothing else really matters.

9.  The internet has done more to tame the monkeys than anything since TV.

10.  Drugs don't open a door.  You do that.  If you need drugs to do it, then perhaps you should examine your brain for a while, and see where your hangups are.

Yeah, that one wasn't too shabby.

Too bad the ensuing administration has been so 

Dont count Obama out yet.
He still has two years to magically fix all of our problems.
And dont count the Dems out either, Texas could always secede.  

I've been looking over the constitution, and unfortunately, there's no way to evict Texas.
