Huh?
Got an e-mail from dear 'ol Dad telling me that an uncle that I never even met died 3 weeks ago.
Let me repeat -- Huh?
Can someone please tell me that that is not normal? I know that he was a lot older than dear 'ol Dad, but hey, I met an uncle that I missed 25 years with due to my adoption, so something is weird here with my family.

Who needs to visit a lake,
When your front yard has become one?
Totally random insertion, but IKEA sucks ass, thank you. And their return policy sucks ass also. It may look wonderful when you buy something, but the whole fucking staff had to approve a recent return. Fortunately, the fact that they could use a measuring tape saved the day. Well, and I don't make a habit of returning shit so when I need to return something and you question me I can be a real bitch. A real LOUD bitch.

Shit
Update II it's back up
Update: My landline is out and I can't get a technician out here until the 26th? Wow, my piece of shit cell phone should be oodles of fun to make the Christmas Day calls on.
Every time it rains these ancient phone lines go out, and mine is out. In other fun news, if you access the internet via cell phone get ready to be reamed some more by Corporate Amurika.:
AT&T, Comcast Must Treat Web Traffic Equally as FCC Passes Neutrality Rule
By Todd Shields - Dec 21, 2010 11:22 AM PT
"The Federal Communications Commission approved the so- called net-neutrality rules by a vote of three to two today. Supporters argued that Internet providers, which also own some of the content they deliver online, may interfere with videos and services owned by others such as Google Inc.
The agency also affirmed that providers may charge subscribers based on how much data they consume. The pricing issue has become more important as companies including Netflix Inc. stream movies and other data-hungry content over the Web."
Net neutrality? More like neutered neutrality.
By David Gewirtz | December 21, 2010, 11:47am PST
"My take: like the health care bill, this is an area that desperately needed quality government attention. Instead, it got politicized, neutered, and gutted to the point where we might have actually been better off if they left the darned thing alone.
Aren’t politicians frickin’ wonderful?

The Great Islamophobic Crusade
Mr. Blumenthal , some day Americans may figure out that a small group of pro-Israel people run America's foreign policy in the Middle East, but I don't see that happening any time soon.

Tired
Long drive, next day a marathon shopping trip and the revelation that the overtly political major is hated as is the political junkie mother.
That would be me.
Ok then.
I suppose child needs more time to make up mind regarding career goals. Ok, no problem, but snarling at mom does not help, and mom does not have to live with it.

wikileaks documentary
Tweet
2 car bombs in Stockholm.
The Swedish news agency TT said it had received an email warning 10 minutes before the blasts, which took place either side of 5 p.m. (12 p.m. EST), with a threat to Sweden and its people.
It said the threat was linked to Sweden's contribution to the U.S.-led NATO force in Afghanistan, where it has 500 soldiers, mainly in the north.
A local news agency, TT, said it had received an e-mail shortly before the blasts, which said it was now time for Swedish people to die "like our brothers and sisters".
Hmmm. Why does this "get the 500 soldiers out of Afghanistan" e-mail stink to high heaven to me?

Yup, they had to throw Assange in jail at all costs, even to their appearance of credibility.

Cuban dissidents? Yeesh, something out the the CIA's playbook in 1963
Assange had to be stopped before he released the bank documents.

You Don't Know Jack
You Don't Know Jack (c) 2009 HBO
Let me be perfectly clear about how I feel about Jack Kervorkian. He is brilliant in a country with a lot of morons brainwashed by religion in it. He pushed the boundaries and he may have technically broken the law but I believe very deeply in physician assisted suicide and I do not believe what he did was wrong.

I'm really starting to wonder if...
Obama gets to live if he does what the entitled bitches that run that fucking swamp called DC want. Seriously man. Do you believe that bullshit about JFK and the lone gunman and the magic bullet? I sure as fuck don't. Come on man, the Kennedys pissed off and threatened the wealth of a few people who roam the halls of power with impunity, no matter what they get up to. You think those nasty creatures are happy when their entitlements are threatened? You think they don't have disposable jackals in their employ?

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange arrested in UK
By RAPHAEL SATTER
Associated Press
And everybody who doesn't have their head planted firmly up their ass knows it. The rape charges were dropped in August so they had to find something else to keep him tied up in court somewhere where someone could keep him from releasing more damaging documents. He was planning on dumping documents that had to do with banksters.

National Geographic "World's Most Dangerous Gang"
National Geographic World's Most Dangerous Gang 2006
Interesting to watch. I wonder how much more crumbling infrastructure all over the world this nasty MS-13 gang has decorated in graffiti, blood, drug addicts, and broken lives in 4 years since this documentary was made? Probably grown exponentially with our economic woes, eh?
I'm grateful that even though I've been poor, I never had to deal with these violent lowlife scumbag cretins. Jeez what a bunch of nasty, brutal and stupid thugs. Most of them are hopeless criminals and can't be rehabbed. The gang tattoos are one of the reasons I've never liked tattoos. When I was a teenager none of the angst ridden middle class teenagers had cute, cartoonish and colorful tattoos or weird piercings, only the dirtbags had ugly ass jail tats, and frankly, through no fault of my own, I had to deal with a few of them briefly and in relatively safe environs. I saw the graffiti and tattoos and the glazed, vacant-eyed paint huffing, pcp smoking morons 30 years ago and beat feet. At that time a full-time minimum wage job would get you a 2 bedroom apartment in this city in a decent neighborhood with only 3 inhabitants instead of needing 4 or 5 roommates. At that time it was possible to find a full-time minimum wage job, and a decent neighborhood that had affordable rents.
This gang is certainly a testament to the pathetic state of the justice system in the US and the US's retarded foreign policy in Latin America.
Oh Jeeezus Christ on a fucking pogo stick, wtf?

Obama announces deal to extend Bush tax cuts
UDPATE: President Obama reached a deal with Republicans to extend Bush-era tax cuts for two years and unemployment benefits for one year
What the fuck is all this bullshit about compromise?
The fucking RepugnanThuglicans have said before that bipartisanship is date rape. You have to hit these stupid motherfuckers upside the head with a baseball bat to even get their attention.
And they wonder why Democrats didn't fucking bother to vote in the last elections? And they wonder why people check out and don't bother with politics at all?

Tomgram: Alfred McCoy, Taking Down America
Posted by Alfred McCoy
at 5:11pm, December 5, 2010.
"...Despite the aura of omnipotence most empires project, a look at their history should remind us that they are fragile organisms. So delicate is their ecology of power that, when things start to go truly bad, empires regularly unravel with unholy speed: just a year for Portugal, two years for the Soviet Union, eight years for France, 11 years for the Ottomans, 17 years for Great Britain, and, in all likelihood, 22 years for the United States, counting from the crucial year 2003...
...Economic Decline: Present Situation
...Today, three main threats exist to America’s dominant position in the global economy: loss of economic clout thanks to a shrinking share of world trade, the decline of American technological innovation, and the end of the dollar's privileged status as the global reserve currency..."

....In his State of the Union address last January, President Obama offered the reassurance that “I do not accept second place for the United States of America.” A few days later, Vice President Bidenridiculed the very idea that “we are destined to fulfill [historian Paul] Kennedy's prophecy that we are going to be a great nation that has failed because we lost control of our economy and overextended.” Similarly, writing in the November issue of the establishment journal Foreign Affairs, neo-liberal foreign policy guru Joseph Nye waved away talk of China's economic and military rise, dismissing “misleading metaphors of organic decline” and denying that any deterioration in U.S. global power was underway...
...Economic Decline: Present Situation
...Today, three main threats exist to America’s dominant position in the global economy: loss of economic clout thanks to a shrinking share of world trade, the decline of American technological innovation, and the end of the dollar's privileged status as the global reserve currency..."
The public attitude of our leadership in Washington DC is so arrogant that it dovetails nicely with the book I'm reading and that double dose often starts this song in my head.
