Sometimes The Stupidity Is Painful
As it should be.
Kids...seriously, people are stupid. Stupid. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!
First of all, it has been cold as hell here in Miami. It’s been in the 30s, low 30s and with wind chill added in, it feels like it’s in the upper teens to low 20s. That’s cold no matter where you live so don’t give me your sob stories of how it’s -89 degrees where you live.
The first part of our stupid people marathon is the fact that even though it’s 30 something degrees with a wind chill making it feel like upper teens to low 20s, and even though one of those days it was also raining, people still came out for airboat rides.
I’m not kidding.
“Oh I’m used to this type of weather.”
You fucking moron. Do you stand outside for an hour out in the freezing ass cold rain where you live? Do you hop on to a boat and speed around on open water where you live? Do you allow yourself to get soaked to the bone and remain outside for another 45 minutes with temperatures in the 30s, where you live?
NO! You do not. Use. Your fucking! brain! Gottdamnit!
But they came. And they laughed at us, all bundled up, scarves, 6 layers of clothing, gloves, face masks, hats, etc. Oh they thought it was the funniest damn thing they ever did see. Ok, mother fuckers. You think that’s funny? Just you wait.
On the tour they went, hysterically laughing at all of us “light weights” in Miami. Until we picked up speed.
See, not only was it in the 30s with freezing ass rain and wind making it feel like it was in the upper teens to low 20s, add in another 30mph to that from the airboat.
Oh! What’s that?!
You’re FREEZING! IT’S COLD?!?!?!?!?!?! THE HELL YOU SAY!
Once they got a taste of that wind blasting right in to their faces, they were no longer laughing. All they could do was sit as close to each other as possible and shiver the stupid out of them. But we weren’t done with them yet.
No, you don’t get to go back to your heated little vehicle just yet..you still have to sit outside for another half an hour to watch the show. Oh yes, you paid for it, you’re getting it. You didn’t want to listen to us, you wanted to piss, bitch and moan about your money, fine. Freeze you fucking tools.
And freeze they did.
Oh how we laughed.
And the next day, more idiots came out to try it all over again. And today, they’re probably going to do it again...thankfully I’m not there to watch them because I really, really cannot take it anymore. I really felt like punching them all in the face and asking, “What the hell is wrong with you?”
We even had one douche bag come in to the store, shivering, asking, I do not lie here, if it would be cold on the boat.
That’s the point I had to turn around and walk away. So this is what stupid looks like.
The second file in our stupidity marathon is brought to you by moronic fucks trying to stay warm inside their homes. Kids, a space heater costs what, $30, $40 dollars? Not too expensive. And why people act like Miami has never had a cold day before, EVER, (yearly we get at least a week), I’ll never understand.
So, space heaters are flying off the shelves, one store stated he sold 300 one day, 450 the next day, 200 something the following day..cha-ching! Good for him. (People might have thought to purchase one of these at any time of the year before it gets cold down here. Granted, it has not been THIS cold since forever but it does get cold here every single year to the point of needing some heat.)
But one family was too cheap, too fucking lazy to go get a space heater or plan ahead. So what did they do to keep warm? Why! They decided it would be a grand idea to bring the BBQ PIT INSIDE THEIR HOUSE and move it from room to room, lit, to keep the place warm.
GENIUS! SHEER BRILLIANCE! I wonder why no one has thought of THAT before!!
It must be a South American thing because I’ve heard of others who have done the same thing and destroyed kitchen ceilings in their rented homes. They’re lucky that’s all that happened.
Getting back to our genius family, you’ll never guess what happened! No, seriously, you’ll never guess!
Hey, how’d you guess? That’s right kids, they all got carbon monoxide poisoning from the fucking charcoal used to light the grill. And they proceeded to spread the toxic fumes all over the house when they kept moving the grill from room to room. They are all now in the hospital.
Well hot damn! That idea worked after all! They’re all warm and snug inside their hospital beds! There’s no need to throw away thirty hard earned dollars on a space heater! We’ll just put ourselves in the hospital and get free heat!
Finally, 3rd stop on our idiot fuck marathon, the dipshit who left a space heater in the “baby’s room” unattended. I wonder why my house caught on fire?!!!!
Kids...please feel free to smack the shit out of the next stupid person you encounter and tell ‘em it’s from me. It doesn’t matter where you live, they are everywhere and I just do not have the time to get to them all. In fact, let’s make this a new cause…
Slap the stupid out of people!

Total Garbage
So, not only are the airlines only going to hold us hostage for a mere three hours, they’ve decided that for the last hour of our flight, our only choice is to stare blankly ahead at the seat in front of us.
Band-Aid Solution To A Real Problem.
1. During flight, the aircraft operator must ensure that the following procedures are followed:
1. Passengers must remain in seats beginning 1 hour prior to arrival at destination.
2. Passenger access to carry-on baggage is prohibited beginning 1 hour prior to arrival at destination.
3. Disable aircraft-integrated passenger communications systems and services (phone, internet access services, live television programming, global positioning systems) prior to boarding and during all phases of flight.
4. While over U.S. airspace, flight crew may not make any announcement to passengers concerning flight path or position over cities or landmarks.
5. Passengers may not have any blankets, pillows, or personal belongings on the lap beginning 1 hour prior to arrival at destination.
Not only that, but they’ve decided that they are going to pat down 100% of the people. Would these people PLEASE give me a fucking break!?!?!
The little old lady with white hair and her poodle in a carry on pet carrier is NOT a fucking terrorist. The exhausted family of four, returning from a ski trip in the Alps is NOT fucking terrorists. We know damn good and well what to look for. But because we don’t want to be racist and because we don’t want to be sexist, we just simply won’t admit to ourselves or anyone else just what those things are. Fucking PC gone way too far. Now everyone will suffer because of terrorists.
The hell if I’m going to sit and stare at nothing for a full gottdamn hour before landing. What if I have to use the bathroom? Too bad? Shall I wet the seat, instead? I’m not allowed to read a book or magazine or my Kindle for a full hour before we land? I am not allowed to type shit in to a Word document on my laptop one hour before we land? Oh and heaven forbid! should my sweater sleeves cover my hands.
Are you idiots serious?
Let’s not actually talk straight and confess to what the real problem is, OH NO! My God, that might offend someone!!!!! No, let’s just treat everyone like a fucking terrorist! Fuck you, TSA. I’m not a mother fucking terrorist and I do not appreciate being treated like I might be one. You know damn good and well what to look for. It isn’t me and my damn Kindle one hour before landing, you stupid twats.
Once again, instead of actually tackling the real problem, (Hey! How ‘bout those Visas you fucking fools are throwing around like candy), we’ll just slap a SpongeBob band-aid on it and tell the American public that we are working hard to solve it. In reality, you fucking morons are not solving a damn thing.
And the American public will slurp this up like it’s the best tasting bullshit pie they’ve ever eaten, even make excuses, “Well, if that’s what keeps me and my family safe, then I guess it’s worth it”, instead of standing up and saying, “Hell no!” and refusing to fly.
Because we are lemmings.
Being led off the cliff to die.
Because we are stupid, stupid people.
And we never wake the fuck up until it’s far, far too late.

Look Out Your Window For Pigs Flying
1) Yesterday I went to the store and not only did the cashier speak to me in English but she understood me without me having to repeat myself several times AND she was pleasant. No attitude for speaking English.
2) Charles of Little Green Footballs has drunk the Kool-Aid. I cannot fucking believe it.
3) I’ve witnessed Karma nail 4 people within a year of “what they did” and Karma is putting some serious hurting on those people. You better believe this stuff, kids. Karma IS.

Only The Good Die Young
Don’t know about you all but I love watching the local news. There’s always some idiot over dramatizing an event or saying something completely moronic and when they cut away from the anchors, we get to see more of that from the public being interviewed.
Have you ever noticed that every single person who was somehow killed was a good person, hard working, family oriented, caring, giving to the community? Ever notice that? No bad people ever die. No one ever comes on and says, “He was kind of an asshole and it doesn’t surprise me that he got shot.”
Just this morning, I was watching the local news for the traffic report, (I love to get up early on my day off and watch everyone stuck in traffic....oh how that makes me laugh). While I waited, a report came on about a guy who was killed over the weekend. Once again, he was a caring, hard working family man. Yah, ok, “family man”....that’s why he was killed at a strip club? Cause he’s a “family man”.
I don’t care if you think it’s ok to go to a strip club and frankly, I’m passed giving a shit if guys want to throw their money away at those clubs but spare me on the family man crap. In my opinion, a “good family man” spends time with his family at night, he doesn’t spend his “hard earned” paycheck at the strip club while his wife and kids sit at home.
“Oh Serenity, have some compassion, a guy was killed!”
Yah, whatever. I guess as I get older, I have less compassion for people who put themselves in those situations. This good, caring, hard working family man went to a strip club, got mouthy with someone and got his ass capped. Sigh...nope. I just have no sympathy.
Anyway, just once I’d like to see someone get on the news and tell the truth. “He was a total selfish prick, he was loud and obnoxious, aggressive and went somewhere he shouldn’t have been. But we loved him anyway.”
That I could believe.

Ugh!
You know what I really hate? When someone or a group of someones bitch about something. And bitch. And bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch, then they complain, piss, moan, whine, boo hoo, carry on, and then they bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch and bitch.....
AND DON’T DO A FUCKING THING ABOUT IT!
If you are not going to do anything about it then SHUT. THE FUCK. UP!
Piss OFF! Google
I am so over Google and Gmail. My patience has worn out. Wonder why I don’t write many emails? Think it’s because I’m ignoring you? Think it’s because I’m rude? No. It’s because every fucking time I try to get in to my gmail account, I have to wait eons or I continually get errors. I’m sick of it. I should not have heart failure while waiting to write a damn letter!
So FUCK YOU, Google! You suck!
I will keep my gmail account ONLY for the purposes of using it when I have to enter it on some website, that way, all the spam can go to that account and not the new one I just created. And? I’m about fucking tired of all the advertisements in my gmail inbox based on what the fuck is written IN the emails! That shit irritates me to no end.
So, kidlets, if you do have my email address and you wish to actually receive some sort of reply, it’s the same email name but with (at) gmx (dot) com instead of atgmailpieceofshitassholemotherfuckingprickemaildot com.
If you scribe to me to my gmail address, you will not receive a reply. End of story. I’m tired of dealing with it. It will be extremely rare that I even open that account ever again. And while I’m on this kick, I’m over Google search as well. “Just Google it.” Just shut up! There are a plethora of other search engines out there and Google is NOT the best. I have to wade through countless pages of total crap on Google but other search engines give me just a few and usually give me exactly what I want right from the start. So fuck off again, Google. You have gone the way of IE in my computing world. Mocked mercilessly and never to be used again.
Piece of shit.

And? So?
Oooh, St. Hope and Change won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Whoopdedoo.
So did Yassir Arafat.
It’s no longer meant anything to me since then.
By the way, speaking of stimulus packages that didn’t actually work, (Hi Detroit! How’s that unemployment working out for you? You wanted those Dems in Congress and as president....get what you pay for!), I’ve come to realize something:
For the longest time I could not understand why people didn’t educate themselves about politics and economics in this country. It’s really not that hard to get a basic but good understanding of it if you just apply yourself, but it seemed that no one would do it. They just parroted the same old tired lines, “It’s all Bush’s fault, the Rethuglicans, Christian bible thumpers, gun toting crazies....”
I thought, if things really aren’t going well for you, if things really are that bad, wouldn’t you get mad? And if you get mad, wouldn’t you want to know how to change it? Wouldn’t you educate yourself on how to change the current status quo and fight for change? (Change you can believe in!) Wouldn’t you want to know how politics and the economy work so that you could fight to make your life better instead of constantly being ground under the heel of “the man”? Wouldn’t you want to find a way to stop all the corruption and lies and theft? Wouldn’t you want to find a way to make your life easier and better?
I’ve been asking these questions in so many ways the entire time I’ve been blogging. And you know what? I’ve realized all this time that I’ve been wasting my breath.
People do not want to understand how things work so they know how to fix them to make their lives better, richer, easier.
You know what people want to do?
People want to sit there and bitch, piss and moan about their eternal victim status and blame one person for everything and I mean EVERYTHING that doesn’t go well in their lives. This way they never have to make any effort, they never have to learn anything, they never have to take responsibility for their lack of ambition or for their laziness; they get to sit there and cry and whine from the time they are born to the time they die.
OH what a hard life they’ve had! No one understands! It’s all (insert Republican individual here), fault! They should be compensated for the hardships they’ve endured! And while we’re at it, give me money for all the hardships my ancestors have endured! Here’s my race card! Here’s my victim card! Here’s my gender card! Here’s my sexual orientation card! It’s not my fault!
That’s really it. They don’t actually want anything to improve, they just want to complain.
Look at the 60s! All those fucking hippies didn’t have a DAMN thing to be bitching about but they invented issues and complained about them. Nevermind how hypocritical they all were, they were only happy when they were complaining. Life was good for them but that wasn’t good enough.
People love to be miserable. They love the drama. With all that going on, they don’t ever have to stop and look at themselves.
I’ve concluded that most people do not like themselves and they will continue to do as little as possible to help themselves because of it.

Please Explain
Why would a state spend billions on a bridge to “aid in the water flow in the Everglades” (coincidentally, will be just down the road from where I work...the JOY!), when they could spend FAR less by hiring people for a permanent job to clean out the fucking culverts! The culverts that are not near airboat parks are clogged with debris, (airboats have a way of stirring that all up and sending it on its way..so, airboats are good for the environment, see?), and if those were cleaned out, periodically, the water would flow through them, as was ORIGINALLY INTENDED WHEN THEY WERE FUCKING BUILT!
Even the Mickosukee Indians have been trying to get these envirowheenie over spenders to see this.
So, I’m sure that there HAS to be a reason the state would want to spend MORE money, ripping in to the Everglades to “fix” the Everglades....anyone have an explanation?
Oh and thanks, St. Hope and Change...for giving them that money. We will enjoy paying for a FUCKING BRIDGE WE DON’T FUCKING NEED for years to come. Genius.
P.S. For those of you who read only the top post on your visit, continue reading below for many more posts where I question the sense in thinking.
Still More That Doesn't Make Sense
Have any liberals thought about this:
We have been throwing money at the poor, billions and billions of dollars towards the “poor and down trodden”, for YEARS and yet...they are still poor.
I wonder why that is.
It Doesn't Make Sense!
I don’t get it! I thought that with St. Hope and Change in office that the whole world was going to love us again.
And yet we came in DEAD LAST in the Olypmics bid.
Huh. I guess we were all lied to. Do you think? Nawwwww!

It's A Little Late Now
Most of the liberal readers I did have got pissed off at me and what I wrote during the election season. Most of them don’t bother to come here anymore because they couldn’t handle the truth. I know people just like this. You can’t tell them anything. If you give them a FACT about this administration, they just say it’s a Right Wing conspiracy. Never mind that it’s FACT. They refuse to believe it. It’s like this punk kid we have at work who smokes pot. If you give him any negative facts about marijuana, he says you’re being brainwashed by scientists and the government. Although this boy is the poster child for why one should not smoke marijuana.
Nonetheless, there are people out there who are finally waking up. They are admitting their mistake, they feel stupid and they are mad. GOOD! You should have been mad about a year ago! Still, it’s refreshing to see some people pulling off the blinders and realizing that St. Hope and Change was nothing but a fucking farce all along:
He will bankrupt this country. I work in tourism. Folks, the US Economy does indeed play a big part on the economy for other countries. And it’s not just our economy that is starting to royally suck, many people over in Europe are finding themselves very short of cash as well. I see it every. single. day. I see the affects this administration has done to our own country as well as the economy of other countries. While these Europeans are still able to go on vacation, (because they purchased tickets before everything went to the shitter), when they do get here, they are doing everything on the cheap. The very cheap. They don’t want to eat in restaurants anymore. Do you know what they ask for? They ask for a McDonalds so they can get that 49 cent hamburger. That’s what they are begging for. “NO! We do not want to go to any restaurant! We want McDonalds because it’s cheaper.”
Yes. That IS the reality.
And what will happen this winter when people have to start paying their heating bills? And what will happen when this tool shed gets his national health care bill passed? I’ve tried to warn people but they did not wish to listen. Again, they said I was being fooled by the Right Wing. I can’t tell them enough that I’m for LESS government. That this country didn’t want this kind of government. People DIED trying to prevent this type of government and these fuckweeds have voted in that very kind of government.
People really do live in a plastic world. I’m done trying to convince them. It’s too exhausting trying to warn someone who refuses to listen. So, let the future show them. And when they come crying to me, I will not help them. Fuck them. These assholes are the ones who put him in to office and these assholes are the ones who CONTINUE to believe in him. “He seems like a really nice guy. He wouldn’t do that to this country.”
Idiots.
But for those who have woken up and realized it was all bullshit, I commend you. I’m sure it’s not easy to admit that you were blind and fooled. But you are. And I admire you for doing so. I’m pissed as hell that you didn’t listen earlier but maybe you’ll do something wise in 2010. And maybe, if it’s not too late, you’ll do something wise in 2012 and get this whole fucking JOKE of an administration THE FUCK OUT of the White House.

Eight Years Later
We should never forget what happened today, in 2001. We should never take it for granted that it won’t happen again. We should never, EVER, forget those who put their lives on the line, each and every day, to ensure our ongoing freedom. It may not get the headlines it used to get but please don’t forget about the troops that are still overseas, especially in Iraq and Afghanistan, doing their part to obliterate terrorism.
One way people are helping, surprisingly enough, came from the Kindle forums. I’ve been quite addicted to those forums ever since I got my Kindle and I’ve seen quite a bit, mostly very funny, very helpful, very caring people sharing stories and helping out newbies. Recently, an indie author came up with a great idea and I’d like to help spread the word.
The indie author, one Mr. Edward C. Patterson decided to start a little operation. See, we get a few soldiers who are currently serving overseas, coming in to the forums to talk and we’ve gotten to know them a little bit as time goes on. Mr. Patterson decided it would be a great idea if indie authors, (and who knows, maybe well known authors will join in), were to make their books available for our service members serving overseas for free to load to their Kindles. It boosts moral, helps pass that down time, (hurry up and wait!!), and lets those soldiers know that we still think about them, we are forever grateful for them and that they, too, are not forgotten.
I think it is a wonderful idea. And apparently so does Smashwords. They have taken up with Mr. Patterson and have a post discussing how these soldiers can sign up to receive these books. There are books from all genres.
So! Kids! Your assignment, (and Kristine...you know a lot of military people, perhaps you can help spread the word), if you know of a soldier who is currently deployed overseas, is helping to fight the war on terrorism, has a Kindle, Sony reader, iPhone or Blackberry and would like some free books from some indie authors who write quite well, to be honest with you, please send them here:
It’s a small gesture on the indie authors’ part but it goes a long way in letting our soldiers know how much we care about them, respect them and wish them the best. If you know of a soldier who will be deployed soon, you may also send them there. Spread this far and wide. Let’s help make this go viral.
Please note: This does not have to be a soldier serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, it can be any soldier who is serving overseas, away from home, whether they are in the Middle East, Germany, Japan, on a ship, wherever. It’s the indie authors’ way of saying, “Thank you.”

Riled
Ok, my friend Kristine just emailed me and told me that, apparently, all over Facebook, people are placing the following on their “status” page:
“No one
should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one
should go broke because they get sick.” If you agree, please post
this as your status for the next 24 hours.”
You fucking ignorant waffle iron twats!
First of all, allow me to share what my friend said about THAT little message:
"Everyone wants to scream that everyone should have access to doctors. Well, they do right now. (E/Rs) can’t deny anyone (stabilizing) treatment. But honestly, there is affordable heath insurance out there right now. People just don’t feel like spending $50-$200 a month to pay for it. But it beats the $50,000 bill you could end up with!
....I can say that even when I was in college and before (husband) joined the navy, we paid for insurance. Could we afford it? No more than we could auto insurance. But we had to have that too! I see it as one in the same. You can’t drive your car without insurance....so what makes you think you can walk around town possibly endangering other people with a communicable disease without it?
People who honestly can’t afford car insurance ride a bus. People who honestly can’t afford health insurance should have help. But not everyone. You and I and our taxes should not pay for Johnny down the street who would rather spend that money on a big screen tv.
That’s only part of the problem with national healthcare. My biggest problem with national healthcare, you insipid yeast infections is this:
National health care is allowing the government to decide who the hell lives and who the hell dies. I’d rather take my fucking chances and pay a little out of my own pocket. And if they would allow competition, it could be affordable!
“No one should have to die because they can’t afford health insurance.”
NO, BITCH! No one should have to die because the government thinks they are wasting space and costing too much money. No one should have to be told, by the government, how to live their every day lives.
I don’t want national healthcare because I don’t want the government to decide for me how to live my life and when my life will end.
Let’s take the case of swine flu. Now, the media has been doing a bang up job of fear mongering by hyping up the swine flu in the past months. I know you’ve heard someone say “Oh God, I hope I don’t have the swine flu!” when they start to feel a little under the weather.
Sigh.
From the CDC, here are the symptoms of the “Swine Flu”
The symptoms of 2009 H1N1 flu virus in people include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A significant number of people who have been infected with this virus also have reported diarrhea and vomiting."
Wow. That sounds just like.....the FLU!
Severe illnesses and death has occurred as a result of illness associated with this virus.
OH MY GOD! We’re DOOMED! Help! It’s a pandemic! AAaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAaaaaAAaaAAAAAaaaaaAAAaaaa!!!!!!!
Shut. The fuck. Up. Now listen:
How severe is illness associated with 2009 H1N1 flu virus?
Illness with the new H1N1 virus has ranged from mild to severe. While most people who have been sick have recovered without needing medical treatment, hospitalizations and deaths from infection with this virus have occurred.
In seasonal flu, certain people are at “high risk” of serious complications. This includes people 65 years and older, children younger than five years old, pregnant women, and people of any age with certain chronic medical conditions. About 70 percent of people who have been hospitalized with this 2009 H1N1 virus have had one or more medical conditions previously recognized as placing people at “high risk” of serious seasonal flu-related complications. This includes pregnancy, diabetes, heart disease, asthma and kidney disease.
You know, just like...the FLU!
One thing that appears to be different from seasonal influenza is that adults older than 64 years do not yet appear to be at increased risk of 2009 H1N1-related complications thus far. CDC laboratory studies have shown that no children and very few adults younger than 60 years old have existing antibody to 2009 H1N1 flu virus; however, about one-third of adults older than 60 may have antibodies against this virus."
Well! Then we better vaccinate those school children! In fact, one state has already decided to do so. In fact, the Governor has declared a civil emergency due to H1N1 virus. Civil emergency! Those are scary words! Civil emergency because of the swine flu! People have died! Oh my God! What are we going to do? Let’s panic!
Gov. John Baldacci on Tuesday declared a statewide civil emergency because of the H1N1 influenza virus, paving the way for mass immunization of Maine schoolchildren and other residents.
To some people, this sounds reasonable. Why, it sounds as if the government is out to protect us, doesn’t it? Think of the chilllllllllldren!
Think agaaaaaaiiiiin:
The emergency designation protects schools and health care providers against liability claims related to their participation in school-based vaccine clinics this fall for both the seasonal flu and the H1N1 flu.
Whoops! What was that? Why on earth would they need to protect anyone from liability if the vaccine is to help people, namely, our chilllllllldren? Why on EARTH would that be? HMMMM!
Let’s go back to the CDC:
There is no vaccine available right now to protect against 2009 H1N1 virus. However, a 2009 H1N1 vaccine is currently in production and may be ready for the public in the fall.
That was written on August 5th of 2009. Exactly one month ago. ONE. MONTH. So, where oh where is Maine getting it’s mass vaccination stash from? It has been said, Baxter International. And what do we know about Baxter International?
Click this link: Criminal Charges Against Baxter
Whenever I see, hear or read anything anymore, I always ask, “Who benefits from this?” Ask yourselves, kids, who might benefit from claiming that the swine flu is dangerous enough to declare a civil emergency and that all kids should be vaccinated with a vaccine that has not been thoroughly tested and is made by a company with such charges against it. Just who might benefit here?
And isn’t it interesting that the makers of the vaccine are reported to be saying that they will not take it and are urging their family and friends not to take it. But they’ll use it on the public. Nice.
Oh and speaking of quarantine, why don’t you chomp on this for awhile:
MA Pandemic Bill allows Police to enter homes, Detain Without warrant.
Kids. If you do not know your rights, I suggest you brush up on them now and quick. It is against your rights for the police to enter your home without a warrant. And to detain you after doing so? Oh hell no.
A “pandemic response bill” currently making its way through the Massachusetts state legislature would allow authorities to forcefully quarantine citizens in the event of a health emergency, compel health providers to vaccinate citizens, authorize forceful entry into private dwellings and destruction of citizen property and impose fines on citizens for noncompliance.
If citizens refuse to comply with isolation or quarantine orders in the event of a health emergency, they may be imprisoned for up to 30 days and fined $1,000 per day that the violation continues.
Please tell me you comprehended what you read. Please tell me you are outraged and disgusted that our government would try to do that to us. They work for us, we do not work for them. Oh, and your pets aren’t safe in that bill either. Why yes, you probably should read the whole thing.
Now. Let’s put all of this together with what I was saying earlier about why I do not want national healthcare. We don’t even have national healthcare at this time but states are already acting in the manner of which I spoke. Or wrote, whatever.
So maybe I’m not too far off the mark here. Do you really want to give the government the control over your life? Do you really want them to smash through your door, taking you away, conducting tests on you, your family, your family pets, placing you in to quarantine or, if you resist, throwing you in jail and fining you all because they THINK you might have something?
Remember Salem? Witches? Ever had a dispute with a neighbor or co-worker? They used the government then to rid themselves of people they didn’t like....is all I’m saying. The government should not have this kind of control.
And giving untested vaccines to children? Good God. Who does that sound like? Think back. It wasn’t too long ago. I’ll give you a few hints: Hitler, Germany, experiments.
Where would some of those quarantine sites be held? Oh, I don’t know...Florida....Iowa…
Orders (link to .pdf in site)
Look, I really don’t like conspiracy theorists any more than the next person. I would like to be proven wrong but damnit, fucking MA is trying to pass a bill through the House to allow them to barge in and take you away under the guise of “pandemic response”. What the fuck am I expected to think here? The Governor in Maine has the audacity to declare a civil emergency over the mother fucking flu!
The flu, people.
Here’s how you prevent yourself from getting the flu:
WASH YOUR HANDS!
And if you have the damn flu, here’s how to STOP spreading it around:
Stop coughing and sneezing and hacking all over every body. Use some damn common sense and decency. Get a fucking Kleenex, cover your mouth, stay the fuck home if you are sick and WASH YOUR HANDS!
Have I made this clear to anyone, here, why I do not want government run health care? Is anyone out there confused? And if you are....seriously? REALLY? You don’t understand? If that is the case, my advice to you is scroll back to the top of this page and start all over.
And if you make it all the way to the end again and still don’t understand, then hop on over to this site:
Flu.gov Yes, that’s right. Flu. Dot. GOV. It’s your “ One-stop access to U.S. Government H1N1, avian and pandemic flu information.”
Do you get it now?
I know what some of you are going to say: “But Serenity, there’s always been mandatory vaccinations and there’s always been an act that allows states and federal government to quarantine those they fear are spreading diseases.”
I understand that. (For those who don’t, you can read this: CRS Report For Congress) Typically those were put in place to help prevent diseases from foreign countries...sure, we don’t need another Black Plague on our hands, I get that. But for the flu? The fricken flu? Some people are calling the swine flu a pandemic. Since when is 8842 people, (as of August 2009), a pandemic? There have been 555 deaths. (Please note, this includes the US, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa, NOT just the United States.) Currently there are 307,370,662 people in the United States, let alone the population in those other countries. Also please note, this is for flu like illnesses, not necessarily JUST the “swine flu”. And finally, please note that the numbers are lower for 2008-09 than they were in 2007-08. But Maine wants to declare a civil emergency and MA wants to push through a “pandemic response” bill. All of a sudden.
You know, when a certain dictator is trying to push through his national health care plan.
Pscht! No reason to wonder or worry at all. As one person said in comments on the Maine story:

Et Tu, Scotland?
Oh Scotland. I’m so ashamed of you right now. I’ve always viewed you as hardier, more rugged, more gutsy than your neighbors. I mean, for God’s sake, you eat haggis! HAGGIS! No spineless little pissant could eat haggis! That’s reserved for sturdy, tenacious, stalwart, tough people. I admired you, one time, Scotland. I adored you, in fact.
But that is to be no more. What in the blazing fucking hell has happened to you? When did you turn in to yellow bellied, wimpy, sissy bitches?
You assholes released a terrorist because he has prostate cancer? Are you got damn kidding me?
This waste of oxygen KILLED 259 people in December of 1988. Killed them. Over your country. In Lockerbie. Remember? Do you think this shit streak had any compassion for those 259 people he killed? Did he show any sympathy for them when he bombed their plane? What about the 11 people who were killed on the ground by the debris? Did this chowder head show any remorse for them?
It took them 11 years to bring him to trial. He wasn’t convicted of murder until 2001! Do you honestly believe this is an adequate sentence for killing 270 innocent people? Did those who were blown up in that plane and killed on the ground get to die amongst their family?
I’m glad his cancer is terminal. I hope every last day of his life is painful. Excruciatingly painful. I hope it burns every time he takes a piss.
Fuck compassion for that worthless piece of shit. And fuck you, Scotland, for releasing him. Brave? My aching ass you’re brave. You’re nothing but a bunch of got damned liberal bleeding heart pussies.

You Are Not Special
“You look great!”
“Did you do something to your hair?”
“Let’s do lunch! I’ll call you.”
“You’re not fat!”
It’s amazing the lies we tell each other every day. Everyone wants to feel good. We read self help books that tell us it’s not our fault that bad things happen to us. We go to psychologists who help us find our voice inside of us to blame the world for everything. People feed us all kinds of bullshit to boost our egos. No one wants to face reality. The reality is, you are not special. You are just as mundane, run of the mill, average and dull as everyone else.
These lies typically begin in childhood when our parents tell us how wonderful and special we are. That’s your parents’ job, to build your self esteem. “Come here, honey, look at yourself in the mirror. Look at your eyes, they are so pretty. And your face, it’s oval shaped, all the models want an oval shaped face. Look at your beautiful hair. See how long and shiny it is? How about that smile? What a wonderful smile you have. You light up the whole room with that smile. And sweetie, your laugh? It is so contagious, it‘s like music.”
They’re supposed to tell you those things so that you grow up and move out of their house. You’re not supposed to be living in their basement well in to your 30s, get! Out! Some kids are so pathetic that some parents resort to extreme lies. “Of course you’re talented, honey! You dance and sing really well, you should try out for Broadway. Go! Go to New York! Get an apartment out there and audition! Get out of our hair. Leave us be! You’ve been exhausting us for 18 years! Go!”
Yes, they are supposed to boost your self esteem but there is a line. When a parent crosses over that line they’ve moved from “helping” to “hindering”. I fear that this will only get worse with newer generations. Now we’ve got parents naming their kids all kinds of weird shit in an attempt to show the world how special their kids are. These parents are living in denial because they haven’t learned yet either. Parents, your kids, nor you, are special. Your kid is just as annoying, loud, obnoxious and sticky as any other kid. Giving your child a different name is only going to bring hell on to that child. Oh I’m sure you think that by doing this your child will feel the uniqueness and grow up to pick up where you left off in your failures but the fact is, your kid is just as bland as every other kid.
No they cannot sing, dance or act. That drawing is not a sign of a future Picasso, that drawing is horrid and I can’t believe you would pin it up on your cubicle wall for everyone to see. Instead of trying to ride on the coattails of your kid, hoping that they’ll be somebody when they grow up so you can hear people gush about what a wonderful mother or father you‘ve been, let them know, right from the start, that they are the same as every other kid. “You don’t know your ABCs, you can’t color inside the lines, your finger painting is atrocious and your jokes are stupid. Now apply yourself and do better, kid.” If you don’t do this, you’re going to end up on a talk show with your teenager who has dyed their hair black, is wearing black clothing, black make up and talking about how much life sucks total and complete ass while you throw your hands in the air exclaiming you have no idea how this all started, please Mr. Talk Show Host, won’t you send my child off to boot camp?
You are harming your kids by lying to them. These days everyone wins because everyone is special! “Bobby, I know you couldn’t hit a baseball if we gave you a sheet of plywood to swing at it with but we still want you on the team because you have talent, son!“
Remember when we were kids, trying out for the team? It was mortifying to be picked last. God, how embarrassing that was! “Please don’t pick me last, please don’t pick me last, please don’t…..got damnit! I got picked last again!”
Sometimes you wouldn’t make the team at all. I remember trying out for cheerleading, year after year after year. Hey, according to my mom, I had pretty, shiny hair and a good face and my teachers said I was loud, of course I could be a cheerleader. Why not? I’d rehearse over and over again and get my routine down pat. I’d go to tryouts nervous but sure I could make it this time. I’d put my all in to it and I’d get the same response: “Thank you, no.” The reason I never made it was because I wasn’t popular. I was not special.
And you know what? We learned to deal with that. We learned to live through the shame and humiliation and move the fuck on. “Fine. I don’t need to be a stupid ass cheerleader. They look like a bunch of fat whores anyway. I’ll find something else that I am good at and get on with my life.”
These days all the kids get to make the team and even if their team is the worst ever in the recorded history of man, it doesn’t matter because they will still get a fucking trophy and be carted off to McDonald’s to celebrate the end of the season. Their coach will tell them they did brilliantly. Sure they lost every last game they ever played, but that’s not the point. “The point is that you tried and that’s all you can do.” (“You failed miserably and I‘m not sure why I just wasted the last 3 months of my life, but hey, you tried.”) What horseshit. You didn’t try hard enough or you just plain suck and should never have been on that team in the first place. But we can’t tarnish the delicate sensibilities of children! Let’s tell them that they’re all special and unique and talented so they can live in a bubble inside of a dream world.
And while we’re at it, let’s do away with red marks indicating wrong answers on their tests. The red scares them. The red tells them they were wrong! The red is angry! We’ll mark their papers in a more soothing purple. Look at the purple marks all over their paper! The purple does not intimidate. The purple tells them it’s no big deal that they didn’t learn anything. They are still special and unique.
When they grow up, that bubble will burst and psychologists and counselors everywhere will reap the rewards as these now grown kids ask, “What’s wrong with me? Where did everything go wrong? I used to be a star!”
It’s called “reality”, sunshine, and you best just suck it up and deal with it. The real world will smack the shit out of you and put you in your place.
Coddled Adult: “Hello World! I’m here! I’ve come to conquer you!”
World: >smack< “I don’t know who the hell you are but you ain’t nuthin’. Now sit down and shut the fuck up, we‘re going for a ride.”
The point is not that you tried. The point is to realize that very few people out there actually have any talent, charisma, charm or intelligence. The people who do have talent are being rewarded. We buy their things and we gush over them. The people who have charisma and charm are what we laymen call, “bullshit artists” who have weaseled their way to the top by kissing ass and batting their baby blues at the people in power. The only exceptions to these rules are the ones who were born in to it. These people, without all their money and the glamour behind the name would also be nothing if it weren’t for past generations of family members. So don’t be envious of them. They suck just as hard as you do.
The point is, you are no more extraordinary than the next guy. Remember when you would travel around on family vacations, looking at the neighborhoods, people in the mall or amusement parks? Remember looking at your own family and thinking, “God these people are boring. I hope I’m never like them.” You would daydream about life as an adult and how you were going to be better than that. “It’s going to be great. I’m going to be rich and famous and have millions of adoring fans. I have talent! I’m unique! ”
No, you aren‘t and you won‘t. If you have not already realized this, your time will come. And when it comes, it’s going to hurt. And that hurt will spin you out of control in to a period of great confusion and sadness. “What happened? What has become of my life?” You will look for people to blame. Why didn’t they support you? Why didn’t they help you become that great thing that you are? How dare they tarnish your shining star!
Some of you have discovered this and are currently wallowing in self pity. And any time anybody or anything shows you an ounce of attention you grab on to it to relive those glory days in your mind. When that attention gets taken away, you will crash back down and look around, bewildered. “What is wrong with people? Can’t they see who I am!?” You will repeat this process over and over again until you wake up one day and face reality. You are but one of billions. You do not stand out in a crowd. You blend in to the background of life. You are an extra in everyone else’s personal movie.
I’ve realized that I’m not special. And I’m still currently sucking that up and dealing with it. I simply do not have it in me to help another on a constant and daily basis but I am willing to help you out this one time. What you do with this is on you. The next time you come crashing back down to earth, don’t blame me. It’s not my fault you’re a loser.
You start your day by getting up and going to work. On the way to work you are treated like shit. People cut you off, blare their horn at you for no reason, ride your ass…if the freeway doesn’t illustrate just how unimportant you are, nothing will.
When you finally make it in to work, you have to deal with your co-workers. Do you actually believe that your co-workers care about you? They do not. That chipper one who always says, “Goodmorninghihowareyouhowwasyourweekendokgottagobyebye!!”, doesn’t really care about you. You can tell by the way she doesn’t even bother to wait for an answer to her questions about how you are and how your weekend was. She doesn’t give a shit about you, your feelings or your weekend, she only cares that she is viewed as the chipper and cheerful one at work so that she doesn’t get the axe.
Your other co-workers don’t care about you either. They talk to you because you’re there and there’s no one else to talk to, not because they actually care about your private life and what goes on in it. Other co-workers are merely using you for their gain. They are using you as either a) a punching bag to relieve themselves of their own self pity or b) using you to climb that corporate ladder. They don’t give a shit about you. They’re kissing your ass to get what they want.
The customers don’t care about you. All they want is for you to give them what they want. They don’t care if it’s hard for you, if it’s not your job, if you have only been there one week and don’t know everything yet, you better fucking figure it out and give them what they want. And if you don’t give them what they want they’ll make sure to make your life even harder by reporting you to your boss and if they’re successful, you’ll be out of a job. And you can stand in the unemployment line where a whole new batch of people won’t give a flying hornet’s ass about you and your problems.
When it’s time for lunch, you drive to a nearby restaurant. Do you think that waiter actually gives a shit about you? No. All they want is for you to hurry up, order, eat and get the fuck out while leaving them a substantial tip. They will pretend as if they care about you and if you are enjoying your meal and if you have everything you need because they want you to tip them. The second you have paid your bill and left, they won’t even remember you. Because you are not special or unique and you do not stand out. Unless you don’t tip them, they’ll remember you then but it won’t be fondly. And you might not want to go back to that restaurant because they aren’t as impressed with yourself as you are.
Finally the day is over and you return home. You’ve been treated poorly all day long. You are not in a good mood. You were told you were special and wonderful and gifted but no one seems to notice. You cannot believe how badly you’ve been treated. At least your pets love you and think you’re wonderful.
“Well at least my pets like me”, you say, as you open the door to your home. They don’t give a shit about you either. When you go to the dog park, does your dog stay by you? No, the first thing your dog does is take off and start talking to other dogs. They discuss the shitty foods you make them eat and your stupid rules. They laugh at you and mock you. Then they forget about you and splash around in the water and tear around the acres of park land with their new found friends. All your pets care about is that they have food, water, clean litter boxes in the case of cats and shelter. If you left a giant bag of food, a pool of water and the door open all day long, they wouldn’t give a crap if you showed up again or not, except to replace the food and water when it ran out.
“That’s bullshit! My dog comes up and licks my face every day when I get home!” That’s because your dog is bored. That’s because she’s been inside all day with no interaction. Your cat just wants a free massage and will stoop so low as to climb up on your lap, purr and look at you to get what they want. They don’t give a shit if it’s you or someone else just as long as they get what they want.
Think I don’t know what I’m talking about? Try it, then. Go for a walk with someone and bring your dog along. As you are walking, hand the keys to your dog over to your walking companion. After awhile, just stop walking while the two of them continue on. See how long it takes your dog to notice that you’re gone. Oh sure, eventually your dog will stop and look back at you. But at first, that’s all they’ll do: look at you. They’re working things out in their mind.
“Oh thank GOD I’m away from them! Finally I am free. Except…I’m still attached to this damn leash which means I’m not truly free and life could actually be worse with this person than that person standing way back there. At least with her I know I have food and water and get to come out every day. What if this person here doesn’t do that? You know, I’d better stick with what I know.” Only then will your dog pull at the leash to come back to you. Not because they care about you but because they care about themselves and their survival.
Think your cat gives a shit about you? Think again. How many times have you said, ‘Fluffy! Damnit! Get off the counter! Fluffy, stop scratching my couch! Fluffy, be quiet, I’m trying to sleep!” Fluffy stops what they are doing only to get to you to shut the hell up, not because they actually like and respect what you ask. Look in to their eyes the next time you tell them to do or not do something. See that, “fuck you” look?
Don’t believe me? Put up a video camera the next time you leave the house. Watch Fluffy do everything you told them not to do the second you walk out the door. They don’t give a shit about your wishes. They will do whatever they damn well please and only stop when they hear you return. It’s not about you, it’s about them and their survival.
The same goes for birds, rats, hamsters, mice, gerbils, snakes, etc. They only tolerate you for the food, water, shelter and the hopes that maybe today you’ll leave the got damn cage open, bitch, and let us run or fly around!
Maybe you think you’re special because you think you have a closer connection to God than other people. Wrong. What makes you think you are God’s favorite bunny over that person over there? Because you go to church every Sunday? The fact is, many of those who go to church still act like tools the rest of the week. And some of you religious folks really need to get a grip. How egotistical do you have to be to think you committed the worst sin that’s going to make God sit up and take notice of you? God has more important matters to deal with than you right now. And please stop praying for stupid shit. “God, please make my pimple go away before Prom this weekend. Please God. Please.” “God, please let me live through this hangover, please stop the retching and dry heaves. I promise I’ll never drink again, God.” God’s not listening to you because you are not unique and special, you’re pathetic.
As the night settles in around you, you decide to get online. You open up your MySpace or Twitter or Facebook account. Whee, look at all your friends and followers! You ARE special! This is just another ruse, another lie to ourselves to make ourselves feel better about the fact that we are giant losers.
“I have 1000 friends!” No, you don’t. You have 1000 people who want you to follow them so that they can say, “I have 1000 friends!” Would any of those 1000 people actually do anything for you if you needed it? No. Because you are not special. They take only what they want from you, in this case, a link to their page to get higher numbers and then they are done with you. Do you think they actually read your page or your twitters?
When you are finished gloating over your 1000 fake friends on Twitter, you go to your blog and open the publishing tool. You have opinions! The world needs to hear them! They are very unique and special opinions!
Very few blogs are actually widely read. Those bloggers were either in on the whole thing early on or they are some of the rare that actually talk about things they know about that other people do not but do find interesting. Most of the bloggers out there have dismal followings because they either can’t write, can’t spell, put too much froo froo shit on their sites to distract the viewer from the fact that they can’t write or spell or simply regurgitate shit they found on other blogs. In other words, most bloggers are not special. In fact, there are still millions of Americans who have no damn idea what the hell a blog is.
You started a blog so that you would have people listen to your opinions that you think are unique and simply must be heard. The world must hear what you have to say, it would be a travesty otherwise. No one is reading your site and no one is commenting on your site because your opinion isn’t special at all. You do not have anything important to say. You are not funny, you are not insightful, you are not witty or charming and most people find you to be a bore. They may visit as a feeling of reluctant obligation but only so that you will read their site. You think you have a unique view on the world but you don’t.
Now it’s time for bed. As you lay there, staring in to the dark, you think about all the people you’ve seen today. You base impressions of yourself on what you see other people doing or having. You saw people driving around in nice cars. Why can‘t you have a nice car? You saw really nice homes and wonder why they get to have a nice home and you don‘t, aren‘t you special? You decide that you’re going to have these things, as well. Ten years later you have a nice house, nice car, nice things and a nice credit card debt! You can’t afford these things. Your car gets repossessed. How’s that foreclosure going? Bought those nice things and you’re still not anything.
You think about all the people you saw, blabbering away on their cell phones. How important they are! They have so many friends! Why don‘t you have a constant ringing cell phone, damnit, you‘re special too! We are assuming that there’s someone on the other end of the line that those people are talking to. Who’s to say they aren’t talking to themselves just to appear important? We are also assuming they are talking about something worthwhile. Most people’s phones ring off the hook because their text messages go like this:
Coddled Adult: Hi!
LaLa Land Resident: Hi!
CA: How R U?
LLLR: Gud
CA: Wut R U Doing?
LLLR: Nada
CA: Wut did U eat 4 lunch?
LLLR: nada
CA: I’m bored.
LLLR: Me 2.
CA: Wut R U doing?
LLLR: nada.
And so on and so forth. Real special there.
Seriously, there is no need to talk on our cell phones that much. We never talked on the phone like this in the past. But now we have this need to feel important because we know we are not. And we feel the need to have others think we are important. It’s a lie. We lie to others and we lie to ourselves because we cannot handle that we are nothing special.
Finally, right before you drift off to sleep, you think about something you saw on the internet. It was a page illustrating the amount of money that dead people make. You think about how much money you make. You think about how special and unique you are and how hard you work for recognition of your talents and assets. It dawns on you that you’ve been lied to your entire life because there are dead people making more money than you, getting more recognition and praise than you. You’re alive, they are dead and they are still more special than you are.
And you start to wake up to some realizations. But stop thinking its’ all about you. It’s not about you. The way people treat you doesn’t have much at all to do with you, personally. More it has to do with themselves. You aren’t even special enough for them to think about ways to get you. You are not unique. You are a loser. You are nothing but a faceless number on this earth.
Your head has been filled with total fucking lies. Why don’t we just get down to telling people the truth. That truth is, no, you look rather terrible today, did you do something to your hair because it looks unkempt, let’s do lunch…never and yes, those jeans do make your ass look huge.”
Now suck it up, princess and welcome to the real world. Your life will be much better now. And you will now be special and unique because you will be one of the few in this world who gets it. There is no meaning. We just are.

It Is Possible
Been reading a lot of vile words on other personal blogs and comments. In some cases, I’m so disgusted that I will not visit a few of those blogs in the future. The nastiness that has been written shows me who that person truly is.
I will only say this: Kids, it IS possible to care about more than one thing at a time.
I lied, I’m also going to say this: For people who seem to care so much about this country and our rights, it floors me that people don’t respect our judicial system.

No Gratitude
It’s D-Day and Google wants to talk about 25 years of Tetris.
Unfrickenbelievable.
By the way, Blackfive has linked the D-Day post I put up in 2004 and I’ve been getting a lot of hits from that, so I’d like all my two readers to go visit his site for more D-Day posts and links.

Hangover Yet?
Not even six months in and some of you are just starting to wake up. You’re still bleary eyed, yawning and stretching but you’re starting to realize that the whore you slept with last night while you swaggered around on your drunken carnival was actually a diseased ridden tranny and you just made a big, terrible mistake. While you’re cleaning the dried up vomit from your floor and out of your sink, acknowledge the reality that this time there is no pill to take or shot to rid yourself of the STD you just contracted. This time you have to suffer for the next four years and beyond, depending on just how much damage this administration does.
The government previously indicated that it planned to take at least 50 percent of the restructured company, and likely would take the right to name members to its board of directors, as it has at Chrysler, where the government will control four of nine seats.
The United Auto Workers retiree health fund is set to own as much as 39 percent of the restructured GM, in exchange for giving up its claim to at least $10 billion that the company owes it. Yesterday, the union announced that it reached an agreement with GM that will reduce the company’s labor costs.
Still unknown is what part the Canadian government might play in the ongoing GM restructuring.
GM operates several plants north of the border. The Canadians agreed to invest about $3.5 billion in the Chrysler restructuring and control one of the nine board seats.
There is something very seriously wrong with every last word you have just read. Why did people vote for this person? Why? What in God’s name were they thinking? Were they thinking at all?
To those of you who voted for this circus sideshow:
Look, the government may provide you with a house, car, cell phone and food but remember, THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH! You will pay for that. The pay isn’t always monetary. You will pay with your freedom. You are an adult, you want to be respected, you want to be left the hell alone to live your life as you see fit? Not with those freebies you won’t. The government is going to parent you. Say hi to daddy. And apparently they will parent you the way you’ve never been parented before. If you think you’re going to tell the government that they can kiss your ass, you’re going to stay out as late as you wish, you better think again. Enjoy it while you can. Cackle away now. Soon you will see the consequences of your actions.
And for the rest of you, are you serious when you vote to have the government control all this shit? Oh you want to force people to do things your way? Guess what, cupcake? When the government is done telling “them” how to do things, they are going to start telling YOU how to do things. Oops, didn’t think about that? Welp, too late now. Great job on looking ahead. Can’t see the forest through all the trees eh? You’re about to get lost in that forest because of who you voted for. Congratulations.
Don’t come crying to me when your world starts crumbling down around you. No, I will not share my supplies and I sure as fuck am not sharing my gun with you. You made that bed....die in it.

That's It, Never Again
I will never watch American Idol again. The very fact that the best fucking artist to ever appear on that show, EVER, (Adam Lambert), did not win tells me that this show is utter and complete shit.
The fact that the girl with the incredible voice, (Allison), was not in the top three tells me that this show is watched by millions of complete idiots.
I know a lot of you don’t care two whits about that show but I don’t care. I have enjoyed watching it from the first season when a co-worker told me how funny the auditions were. (They are.) And I was amazed at Kelly Clarkson’s voice. The girl gave me goosebumps with her voice. I missed season 3 but after Kelly, my interest in this show started to wane. However, this season we finally had some really talented singers. More than one. Finally. And that did NOT include the assmunch who just won. I cannot believe that the most annoying fuckfaced little twerp they had in the top 10 won that title. Ugh. After awhile, I just fast forwarded the DVR through his performances because he was so. damn. BORING.
I thought this was a singing talent show not a “likeZoMGhe’sthecutestboyIeverdidseeandIwanttomarryhimlikerightnowlikeIcan’tbreathehe’ssodreamyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!” contest.
Then again, this isn’t the first season that America has gotten it VERY wrong. Taylor Hicks? Are you fucking kidding me? Do you know that he’s only made $300,000 since he won? Whoo, that was a GREAT choice there, crayons!
America voted for St. Hope and Change and now their stupid spawn all voted for the pitchy, THE most boring, not nearly as talented as four other people in the top 10, twit.
This reveals two things:
The majority of Americans have no fucking taste.
The majority of Americans are complete morons.
Whatever, Adam Lambert got his exposure and he’ll make fucking millions now. And I bet he’ll make more than that moon faced yawn fest.

Won't Do That Again
This is my Saturday and I was going to take advantage of the fact that I don’t have to do anything today by sleeping most of this morning. I got up to feed the cats and then crawled back in to bed, pulled the covers up around me and prepared to snuggle in while watching a little t.v. before dozing off again.
Until I started watching the local news. What a big, fat mistake that was.
You know, I’m getting really sick of the media. Their bias and b.s. PC crap is getting to be too much to bear. I was watching Channel 6 here in Miami, and I just happened to turn it on right when they began a story about the “behind the scenes of Miami Beach”. They start off by flashing a thousand pictures in 10 seconds talking about the fashion, the bikini clad women in the ocean, the high rises, the nightclubs, restaurants, hotels, blah, blah, blah. There’s just so much money pouring in to South Beach, they tell us.
But, dun, dun, Duuuuuuuuuuuun! Who’s running the place?
According to Channel 6 news in Miami, “undocumented immigrants” and they are being treated horribly. HORRIBLY, I tell you!
They went on to state that some “undocumented immigrants” aren’t even making minimum wage! Why, they’re only making $3.50 an hour. Three fifty an hour? How could we treat these people so poorly, they wail.
Their subject, “undocumented immigrant”, they said, works for $3.50 an hour plus tips, as a waiter. In fact, on a good day, he makes $90 a night. Most of them send money back home to their families in the country they came from and while here, they live 6, 7, 8 to an apartment. They feel they don’t have a voice! They want to get the attention of the President to do something about this disgusting treatment. This is not fair!
What an emotional story! We should feel angry, we should stand up and do something about this mistreatment!
Now, let’s put feelings aside and get to the truth of the matter. First of all, many states have this practice where waitstaff, bartenders, whathave you, make less than minimum wage. It’s not just the “undocumented immigrant”. Because I came from a state that paid minimum wage AND you got to keep all the tips you made, it took me awhile to figure this shit out. Frankly, I think it’s crap all the way around but that is the way it is in many states and these people know this when they get the job. Basically, the way it goes is that the employer doesn’t have to pay you minimum wage if your tips plus the wage equal to what you would get on minimum wage. I still don’t completely understand it but these people are getting at least minimum wage or better.
For example, let’s take our poor, mistreated “undocumented immigrant”. He makes $3.50 an hour plus tips, bringing home $90 a night. How can they live like this?!?! Listen, kids, do the math. This particular example is making $11.25 a fucking hour. UNDOCUMENTED. That means he pays no taxes on that $11.25 an hour. He sends a lot of it to his family in his home country so it is not circulating around our economy, in the United States, where this “undocumented immigrant”, made $11.25 an hour. A LOT of people, American citizens, make way less than $11.25 an hour. Minimum wage varies from state to state but average is about $7 an hour. So, in truth, these “undocumented immigrants” are making WELL OVER minimum wage.
Second, it is not, “undocumented immigrant”. It’s called ILLEGAL immigrant. They are here ILLEGALLY. As in, they have already committed a crime by sneaking in to this country. No, they do not have a voice. You are a criminal. You do not have the right to be here. I feel absolutely zero fucking sympathy for some asshole who is in this country illegally, making $11.25 an hour and sending it all back to his/her family somewhere in S. America or whatever country they are from. ZE. RO!
Third, the reason they are “riding bikes” to work and “living 6, 7, 8 to an apartment” is because they are ILLEGAL. It’s easier to trace an ILLEGAL immigrant if they get a car or an apartment in their own name. So they live on the beach, ride their bikes to work and come home to 7 or 8 of their illegal friends, family or associates. Because there are 6, 7, 8 of them in an apartment, they pay a pittance when it comes to the rent, electricity and other bills.
Now they’ve entered this country illegally, got a job making $11.25 an hour, had no taxes taken out, pay 1/8 of all the bills, send some of it back home to their families and you want me to feel sorry for them? The HELL if I feel sorry for them.
If St. Hope and Change was any kind of a decent President, he’d listen to them and their pathetic pleas, and then have them arrested and deported so that HARD WORKING AMERICAN CITIZENS could get those $11.25 an hour jobs down on the beach. Look, to a lot of people, $11.25 an hour is really not that much money but to a lot of other people, that is quite a bit of money. You won’t be “dirt poor” making $11.25 an hour. In fact, you can live quite comfortably on that amount. I know, I’ve made that amount before and as long as you aren’t wanting everything under the sun, you can live nicely that way. You can even save up money with that kind of earning. You can go to school and better yourself with that kind of earning.
Minimum wage was designed for people to get jobs who have no skills. That $11.25 an hour is NOT minimum wage. That’s the kind of pay you get when you have started to acquire some skills. You’re beginning to make your place in the world, you’re beginning to move on up to a great job. It’s absolutely nothing to cry over. But some asshole comes here illegally, takes that job from an American citizen who most certainly would take that job, (my aching ass they take the jobs that Americans won’t do), and be happy with it, doesn’t pay taxes on the wages and sends it back to their home country where they are supposed to be right now, anydamnway.
So Channel 6 News in Miami, you wanted me to feel something, you got it. You wanted me to feel pity or perhaps even get angry? Well, I’m angry alright. But not because of the so called piss poor treatment of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. I’m angry that these assholes are stealing our money and you think we should feel sorry for them. Fuck the illegal immigrants and fuck you, Channel 6 News.
