Did You Ever Try... & Why I Hate Republicans
So, I find myself uninterested in working on the homework for Chap. 2 (the class I am teaching has entered the wonderful world of Energy), and I don't feel like working on figures for my thesis (this is probably of no surprise either). In order to avoid both I decided to surf the blogs on this site. There is a nifty button on the top of everyone's web log that offers to take you to the "next blog" - whatever that means. I decided to actually USE the button. I suggest you pass on this fun...
First, apparently, the "next blog" has nothing to do with 1) when it was created compared to yours or 2) when it was most recently updated. It also crosses the lines of language but I didn't really care about that. I knew this would be a waste of my time by the second blog I was directed to. But, then again, this whole exercise was in order to waste my time...
This is what I encountered on my foray into random blog world: I ran across a blog that was a chronical of his/her goldfish from the baby stage in pictures only. Okay, I guess you could use this service as a way to post an endless number of pictures. Hadn't occurred to me. But goldfish?? Who seriously thinks this is a good idea? Next I came upon what I believe was a cake recipe and I won't do the injustice of even guessing the language it was in. It had a bunch of those dots above the letters (and no, I don't know the name of that accent mark). I would suspect german or some language in that family. Of course, it could be swahili for all I know. French and latin are all I am qualified to recognize. Then there was the blog just started about a week ago by some woman writing vampire BDSM for some romance novel mass producer. That was interesting, kinda. Made me, yet again, regret going to graduate school in chemistry. I could write vampire BDSM... couldn't be that hard... once I stopped laughing.
And then there was... the Republican. This was the site that made me stop surfing. No, not to read in-depth. It made me close the F**KING window. I hate republicans (at least 99.99% of them and all of them when they insist on trying to explain why they won't allow other people to live their lives and won't help those that might try to make their lives better). This particular blog writer was spouting about how idiotic liberals are. One example - and really the reason I had to stop reading - was how Clinton spent 30 million on his inaugral party so Bush spending about that much before security wasn't such a big deal. Clinton raised about 23.5 million for his and Bush had raised 25 million. He argued that Bush, therefore, was actually better than Clinton. Alright asshole, here are two reasons he's not. One - he took us to war, had bad intel for doing so, had no plan in place to actually win, didn't listen to his military leaders, and is making us incur the debt of this idiotic war almost entirely alone because he told the rest of the world to basically fuck off. This war is causing the country to go into debt to the point that I can't even see trying to recover from. Clinton, on the other hand, was actually eliminating the country debt when he needed the 7.5 million for his party. Second - there was a HUGE natural disaster on the other side of the world two weeks ago. We are not the biggest contributor to this cause. Not even close. The really stand-up thing to do would be to cancel the stupid party (you are already in office dumbass - in case you missed that) and donate the money to the relief effort. Oh wait, that would be giving money to people less privileged than you who aren't caucasian. I forgot, you are a republican. That is NEVER going to happen. And I didn't even mention this little fact yet - Clinton's 30 million INCLUDED security. Bush needed over 40 million to cover his party AND security.
I really, really find it an embarrassment to be an american and I blame that, in part, on Bush. I mean, it's not his fault he is an idiot. Mostly I blame all the people who elected him. My - oh this kills me - peers. I'm glad this blog is going to be posted on the web. At least people will know what happened when I mysteriously "disappear". Ya know, because with that moronic Patriot Act and Act II, they are scanning everything sent over the internet for the words Bush and War and "I Hate". Oh, and in case this wasn't flagged... bomb, bomb, bomb. He's managed to push environmental laws back twenty years, has reduced privacy to nearly none, caused education to become standard (read mediocre because you gotta wait for the dumb kids to keep up now) and individual rights are in the toilet. Let's see what he can do in another four years. I foresee social security being disbanded, women's (medical) rights destroyed, and a backdoor draft policy written and used in addition to the one already taking place. I hear rumors he is even looking into rewriting the law on term limitations so that he can run AGAIN in 2008.
I don't want seem like a user because I could get into the country on my own but... if/when I marry the bf - the celebration will be two-fold. Yes, a celebration of our committment to each other and our lives together. In addition, the celebration of me taking Canadian citizenship, leaving this hellhole and all of it's bible-thumping, ignorant, self-righteous, self-centered, and just plain stupid people behind. I realize they have some of these people in "canadia" but at least the government isn't being run by one of them.
Oh, and just because I am in a truely rant-a-litious mood and haven't mentioned it in my last few blogs... DON'T GO TO GRADUATE SCHOOL!!
Well, I feel better... how do you feel? Really, how do you feel? Could you please post a comment. I like comments. I read the comments. It would give me a warm fuzzy if you were to leave a comment. Even one to disagree with me because I am sure at least one of my readers does disagree. You can post without being a member. Come on... comment on something. Don't make me beg. Too late I suppose. I know I gave this link to a bunch of people. Thanks Lexagirl, tattling priest, and Angry Orange for the regular comments... now what about the rest of you? How do you feel? Please. Pretty please. *sigh* I really like comments.

I hate to say it sweetie, but your political system is in the shitter...
The war-like Republicans and the old and boring Democrats.... Not much to choose from... The corruption is huge and its not going to go away anytime soon.
But don't think Canada isn't on the same track. Our political system has pretty much been, as my friend Jeremy would say, "A benevolent Dictatorship" We had one part of Canada - The worst part in my opinion - making the decision for the rest of the country as to which political party was rule us. This Frenchman making decisions that impacted him, his friends and the political supporters and the region that kept getting him elected - the rest of Canada be damned. We don't have a check or balance system - once they are in - that's it. The worst part of this is we've tried to develop the check balance system just to have the idea thrown out because it threatens the true dictatorship of the country... Sigh...
Granted our country doesn't go to war as often but at least your guys are dressed for the part. You sent your soldiers into Afghanistan in desert browns - our guys only have one color Green... Green in a desert... Nice camo.... Canada has abused their military so badly - no one wants to go into it.. we send them with out the proper tools and in fact keep cutting money away from them. Its borderline scary what we do to our soldiers...
And here is the kicker - we had a prime minister (the fucking frenchman) that in his entire political career never step foot into the head quarters of the Department of National Defense.... not once... that was something like 10 to 12 years.... a fucking century... The new guy (who I'd have to say is more to my liking, but not much more) went there in his first 3 months.
I don't know about the USA and their policies, but please don't hold us up as the higher standard.. We abuse our guys just as bad and on so many other levels. One benefit that I've seen in all of this is, whenever I'm in trouble for something I can go "Look what that asshole Bush did today" and poof anger directed someplace else.
