I should let it roll off my back but I get really pissed when I see uniformed police officers directing traffic for the mega churches. My tax dollars supporting a tax exempt organization. How is that even legal?
If they can't afford to buy a traffic light then they shouldn't have spent the $18 million to build that stupid Jesus factory in the first place.
Screw em!
They are on their own.
On that note why would a government negotiate for hostages that got captured after they were duly advised not to go somewhere in the first place… like, say… oh, I don't… Afghanistan!!?? Hey Christians, the Muslims don't like you. They aren't going to convert. In fact they might just snatch you up and lop off your head. But, hey, you go ahead and knock yourself out. Guess what, though?
You're on your own!

This is My Weapon, This is My Gun...
Joe Biden hit it on the head last night during the YouTube Democratic response forum. When a gun owner called his gun his "baby," Biden responded: "If that's his baby, he needs help, I don't know if he's mentally qualified to own that gun."
There are not many people in my family that do not own guns or hunt but I have never heard a single one of them refer to a gun as "My baby." I bet that moron's wife thinks her dog is equivalent to a child as well.
Anthropomorphizing is just a long word for Nut Job!

Capital Gains
"The same folks that are bombing innocent people in Iraq, were the ones who attacked us in America on September the 11th, and that's why what happens in Iraq matters to the security here at home." GeeDub July 12, 2007
Outside of just being a general idiot and an @$$hole trying to cover up his mistakes while disregarding any culpability; why is Bush trying so hard to convince us that we have to stay in Iraq?
What does he gain?
... Coming soon: progress pictures of my DIY bathroom. A month of steady demolition and my reconstruction job will turn a corner. Mission almost accomplished.

Shop 'til She Loves You
There are a shitload of Hummers driving around where we live. One passed me today with a bumper sticker that read "I'm not spoiled my husband just loves me."
WTF!??
I guess if her husband didn't love her she would probably still have those two black eyes and broken ribs but she'd be driving a Toyota.
Poor Jen I should really show her how much I care and go buy her something we don't need.

America the Beautiful
In the check out. . .
Guy number one is standing in line at the self checkout line and a second guy pushing a five year old kid in a cart maneuvers in front of the first guy. The first guy moved back in front of the second guy and then the second guy pushes his cart back in front of the 1st guy
Guy 1. Dude! There's a line!
Guy 2. I know and you just cut in it.
G1. You pushed your cart in front of me twice, are you blind?
G2. What ever! Way to be an asshole!
G1. Wow! Nice language. Way to set a good example for your boy.
. . . brief pause
G2. Way to be human, man!
G1. Thanks, maybe you'll get there someday.
G2. Well I'm way ahead of you.
G1. True, too bad it's all your weight.

My Way or the Highway
The arrogance of an idiot.
Contrast:
June 1, 1865
Abraham Lincoln. . . "we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
June 11, 2007
Gee Dub. . . "They can have their votes of no confidence, but it's not going to make the determination about who serves in my government."
Whose government is it again???

Jesus Assists Young Girl’s Greed and the Ducks to Win the Stanley Cup
A girl found a 2+ carat diamond at a state park in Arkansas and described it this way:
"I was kind of praying to God. I was saying, 'I don't care if it's worth whatever it's worth, I don't care if it's a tiny little sliver of something, I just want something,'" Ruhter said. "Ten minutes later, I just found it."
That Jesus is so cool! I'm a greedy son of a bitch too, maybe he'll help me be a congressman.
As for the Stanley cup, Jesus had a choice to make. He chose wisely. Either he let the team from a country of freedom lovers (USA! USA! USA!) win or he let a team from Canada (aka Satan's playground) win. Jesus clearly likes the United States better.
In your face Canada!

School's for Fools
All of my student loans are consolidated through the federal Direct Loan program. At first I thought this was a good idea but after dealing with a new and exciting level of incompetence I have second, third and even ten thousandth guesses.
I am in the habit of paying my bills early, but as a result I got tagged last month for a "missed payment." I paid one of my student loan bills 3 business days early (on the 3rd of the month) and the next one 5 business days early (on the 30th). According to the loan folks I didn't make a payment this month but, in their definition, two last month.
Are you following? - I sure as hell don't. I called to figure out why the resulting balance this month is more than it was last month and they said I missed this month's payment; even though they do show the two payments. The interest compounds daily and "technically" I have 40 days without a payment so that is why I owe more on my loan today than I did 45 days ago. The customer service guys all stonewalled me. I have talked with three separate representatives for a total of 2 hours. No resolution and no recourse. The FSA is probably the most uncooperative group of assholes since those cops in Guadalajara, at least that just cost me twenty bucks and night of shame, at these (interest) rates I have another 30+ years of shame.

Bring on Summer
I just heard the title track for the new White Stripes album, "Icky Thump." Yummy! Don't tell my wife but I have the hots for the collective Jack and Meg unit.
. . . So pasty, so pale, so good when it touches your lips.
The new Spoon album is coming out around the same time and sounds like it might cause Dirt to celebrate in joyous revelry as well.
I am going to have a busy summer reading Harry Potter and rocking my socks off.
