4 Firefighters Shot, 2 Killed At Webster, New York Fire Scene; Shooter Dead (UPDATE)

Hey, I know, let's keep cutting the budgets for mental health services! It's been ssoooooooooo helpful, as has our brutal and NON-rehabilitating prison system. (Granted, this guy probably should have been committed to a prison hospital for life)



*sigh*



Again, my condolences to family and friends of the first responders and my prayers for the injured.

Zero Dark Thirty - Wrong and Dangerous Conclusion

Mr. Gibney,



You are an excellent documentarian and I love your work. That said, you probably wouldn't accept the obscenely large amounts of money that Hollyweird happily accepts to perpetuate the myths, uber-patriotism, and excessive violence that passes for entertainment in this country and around the world.

VP Sally Langston

VP Sally Langston is the kind of character that I love to HATE, and she is my least favorite character on my new favorite show, Scandal . The first season is streaming on Netflix, the second is available to watch on IMDB.

The Lumineers - Ho Hey (Official Video)

I am avoiding the newZ

Because right now I could give two shits about   Molly McMoosturd  or  the gun manufacturers' priorities or even the great news that some media outlets are finally figuring out what most 23 year-olds know, that the GOP is buncha fucktards

Gun Violence: It's Not Just the NRA or Presidential Leadership -- It's Us

"Why don't we as a society hold to greater account the manufacturers and distributors of the hardware and software promoting the violent gun use in the numerous video games that are watched and played by many of our children?"

Because in this country freedom of religion is misconstrued as freedom to worship at the altar of capitalism. Intentionally. Even "our" media is a commercial enterprise. As is our political system.

so, I'm watchin' this silly teevee show

and part of the script goes "she's in one to the 6th largest cities in the world..." and I think ummm, she's in Russia dude, no effin way. So I go to check top ten cities and I end up thinking "wow, top 30 cities, majority in Asia, east and west Asia. Jebus Asia, get a fucking handle on your brood mares why doncha?"

Yeesh, when you spend 10 years reading all kinds of stuff for 5-12 hours a day  instead of working some incredibly repetitive job it's hard to climb back in the shell of ignorance even if you want to shut reality out by watching silly teevee shows.  *sigh*

Mr. President, Tear Down This Wall 
Washington’s Iranian Future 
By Pepe Escobar

In Election 2012’s theatre-of-the-absurd “foreign policy” debate, Iran came up no less than 47 times....

You see? You see why I like Pepe Escobar? He points out really amusing stuff. I remember watching that debate. I made a few notes on a laptop and somehow managed to delete the whole post, but I remember writing snark over that one. Read the article, I never regret reading his stuff.

Screw this ibuprofen shit, and population stuff

I think the ibuprofen may be taking the swelling down, but it's causing pain I never had.

Beyond 7 billion: Bending the population curve

The whole series is fascinating. I'm reading it now.

Slacker Uprising

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0850669/

Watch here

I'm watching it now. I saw Farenheit 9/11 around 05 or 06 but never Slacker Uprising.  I've been pretty pissy all day and this isn't helping.  Dayum, I forgot that I was at the Del Mar Fairgrounds that afternoon, but I will never forget how angry I was at that  time.  I saw kids that were neighbors and only 4 or 5 years older than my kid shipped off to die so that Dickhead Cheney could get richer. 

 I got crappy news today.  I went in for knee swelling and found out that I have arthritis and this shit is only going to get worse.  So the doc says take a shitload of ibuprofen and ice  3 times a day.  So I'm taking the ibuprofen, icing and the swelling is going down and NOW I start to feel pain. Fuck. 

So, next up is Suburgatory.  Yes, I do think Jeremy Sisto is one of the sexiest men evah, and dude has quite an acting range.

CIA faces lawsuit over death of bioweapons expert amid ‘LSD experiment’


About fucking time. The CIA has always thought it was above the law, all laws everywhere.

When people say to me that the CIA is good organization I want to get all up in their face and scream "For who?"

The rich, that's who.

I love this show. It's Southern California with all it's bloat and gas and warts,with all it's beauty and it's fugly. It's the frustrating limitations that law enforcement officers come up against. It's flawed, imperfect and good, decent human beings who happen to be police officers. Regina King is perfect as Lydia and she has some of the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. In fact, the casting couldn't be better in my opinion.

Walmart's Internal Compensation Documents Reveal Systematic Limit On Advancement

Why does this not surprise me? I don't make a habit of shopping there, but occasionally I do. It must be less occasionally than it used to be because I couldn't find much of the stuff I buy regularly there.

I love this show

I don't think I've ever loved a show more than Scandal. Well, I like Grimm a lot also. Admirable and frightening critters in both shows.  Love Supernatural, some really funny lines in that one, and I love Dexter.  What would make me happier than a pig in shit?  Dexter takes a trip to DC and helps out Olivia when she is called on to make Karl Rove and some of his ilk disappear.  Just for good measure, Dexter, Sam and Dean and the new dude  on the block Arrow can all go hunt critters in DC.   Fun yeah? Well, more fun than paying attention to what the corporate news is reporting on in DC anyway.

Bullshit. I have no idea what really happened, but the old tired , want to spend more time with the family, and had an affair is boring code for he fucked up, or Obama has had enough of the old leftover GOP nonsense. I don't know this guye's real story, nor do Icare.

There are APPROXIMATELY 375000 Mail / Provisional ballots still to be counted

Now, there is British show that cracks me up called Misfits that I'd like to watch before I have to go pass out the notices for my friend's funeral.

the word "anger" isn't even close to how I feel lately

I hate everyone and everything.

Obama yaay, local results bleh

see what I mean?

Living in a county of 3 million that is one big fucking military base sucks ass sometimes.  The bases have Fox Snooze on 24/7 so I don't know why the rethugs even bother with all the nasty ad campaiging.  

I'm tired, whas on Netflix?

ps, going to bed, if I wake up and Romney is president I KNOW he stole it, because it was call for Obama when the polls had only been closed for half hour.

I am one cranky bitch

And today is election day. I just told a Republican to his face "I fucking hate Republicans." Mostly because he reminded me of a stupid, hypocritical bully.  A union worker that votes Republican is either kissing the boss' ass or slightly retarded, and certainly doesn't appreciate the history of unions.

I'm tired

I'm not even paying attention to the news, let alone the political news.  My friend shocked me out of my stupor a bit when thye were concerned that a stupid greedy fuck might  end up as our next president.  I sent my ballot in and my friend made sure I got hers in before she died also.  So we did what we could do to make sure it wasn't our fault if that asshole Romney gets in.

My friend died today

Dia De Los Muertos 2012
Fitting since she loved this border town even though she was from the southeastern part of the US, eh?

I haven't lost it yet, but dang it, I want a smoke. Soft foods suck and I wish I could do more for the family right now, but the dang antibiotics are giving me hell and I can't stray too far from the bathroom. I'm right aroumd the corner from them because she was my neighbor, if they need anything. I feel very lucky that I got to joke around with her while she was a bit lucid, even though we were both loopy from pain meds. We lived in the same building for 13 1/2 years.

If Isee one more NO on 37 ad I'm going to puke

Mostly because stupid, uninformed voters will be influenced by the ads and it probably won't pass. Idiots.

Seriously man, wtf is this?

Is this a report on whether or not my little blog is a threat to the oil industry?

so I did a few posts on OIL, so what?
