Sign This Petition, Please

Subject: Congress needs to hold Cheney accountable

Hi,

Did you see the news? President Bush let Scooter Libby, the one man who was convicted for the lies around the Iraq war, go free.

And the obstruction of justice doesn't stop there. The Senate recently subpoenaed documents from the Vice President's office around the illegal wiretapping program and so far he has not complied. It's clear this administration thinks it's above the law. That's un-American, and I think it's time for Congress to hold them accountable.

I just signed a petition urging Congress to force Vice President Cheney to respond to its subpoenas. If he doesn't, Congress has to begin impeachment proceedings against him. Can you join me by clicking the link below?

Thanks!

 

For a more detailed account of this petition and the news surrounding it, see Leo's blog. Thanks Leo!

Rest In Peace

Yes, my condition has been downgraded from sick to DEAD and I am writing this post from the grave. Pretty slick how I can do that huh? And I probably smell like I've been dead for days since I've been feeling too crappy to take a shower the last few days. Yummy.

 

The Drunken Midgets are still sleeping, which would be okay if the youngest wasn't in my bed. She was too hot last night and their room doesn't have air so she came to bunk with me for the night. Otherwise I'd be lying in my bed right now instead of blogging. But then, no matter where I am I still feel like shit so I guess it doesn't really matter.

 

I am an avid fan of ER and I watch the reruns on TNT in the morning. The last few episodes they have been in Darfur and it is so emotionally wrenching to watch, but it sure makes me thankful for what I have and where I live. The situation over there is so tragic and I can't believe it's not in the news more. I guess people are too busy watching news coverage of Paris Hilton's most recent trip to jail to watch actual news and give a damn about what happens beyond the world of the rich and famous.

 

Like all those celebrity blogs out there. Who the fuck cares what Lindsey Lohan snorted last night? I sure as hell don't. 

 

And the more people I meet the more I realize that a majority of the American public would rather stick their heads in the sand and pontificate endlessly about the coming's and going's of people I wouldn't waste two seconds of my time talking to in real life than to know what's actually going on in the world. 

 

I mean, come on people, get a life.

 

Why is it that people like Paris Hilton garner so much media attention? What has she ever contributed to this world that she is so famous? She's rich and apparently some find her beautiful. That's it. I just don't get it.

 

I don't know who's worse, Paris herself, or those that follow her around like a puppy dog just dying for the next nugget from her life.

 

The only celebrity I ever show interest in is Angelina Jolie, and that's only because she's actually working to contribute something to this world, to try and make it a better place. But I certainly wouldn't devote an entire blog to her.

 

Okay, the mourners are starting to arrive. I'd better go or I'll be late for my own funeral.

 

Laters!

One Million Blogs For Peace

Thanks to Babs, I found a Website devoted to peace in Iraq. It is called One Million Blogs For Peace. I joined it today, you should check it out. 
 

In other news it has been a strange and stressful weekend, but I won't go into the details here as I have already done so on other blogs and I hate to be redundant. Suffice it to say, it was not the relaxing weekend I was hoping for.

 

The Drunken Midgest come home today. I'm already looking forward to the fighting and the mess. And the youngest will be crabby as I forgot to send her meds with her, so that should be fun. Can you tell I'm not ready for them to come home yet? I haven't been able to relax at all and I am so stressed and I'm not looking forward to the aftermath of the youngest spending the weekend with grandma. The youngest is always getting in trouble and she always comes home crying about my parents yelling at her for this or that. It's so fun.

 

I love them dearly, but sometimes they drive me insane. And coming back from a weekend at the cabin is always a whirwind of stress and chaos.

 

But, we do get to see my new nephew today. He was born yesterday at a hefty 8 lbs 7 ounces. Or something around that anyway. The girls and I are very excited to meet him for the first time.

 

Well, I'm off to do something.

 

Laters!

Cake or Death?

It is yucky and rainy today and I am in so much pain. Not even meds help this pain. It started yesterday at the carnival we went to, and it's just gotten worse today. And I have so much cleaning to do (what's new?) but I just can't do it.

 

So, I haven't done much of anything today. The eldest walked up to the mall with a friend and the youngest just returned from a picnic with her Big Sister. I thought about going to get something to eat but I am so tired, I don't ever remember being this tired. I've been waking up even earlier than usual, around 3:30 in the morning and by the afternoon I am exhausted. And the pain isn't helping that either.

 

But, at least the kids are having a good weekend. We spent a small fortune at the carnival but the Drunken Midgets had fun and I got my mini donuts so I was happy.

 

I've been poking around the news a bit, mostly on Buzzflash but it all makes me so mad. Like the fact that only 3% of Americans support sending more troops to Iraq, but Bush doesn't give a shit, he's going to do whatever the hell he pleases despite what his constituents want. And no one is going to stop him. He's just going to keep sending out soldiers over to die in a war that never should have happened and no one is going to stand up to him and tell him to get down of his throne.

 

The Dems need to either stand up to him once and for all or stop grandstanding. They made all this noise before the election about no more blank checks without a troop withdrawal date attached, but they caved in the end despite all their grandstanding. That makes the whole party look bad. Granted, their job isn't easy, they have a lot to fix and a president opposed to everything their party stands for, but then they should have taken that into account before the bragged about all the changes they were going to make.

 

It almost makes me want to vote third party, but all that does is take votes away from the Dems and assure that we will lose and the Repubs will win. But, damn it, the Dems have to do something cuz they aren't looking much different from the Repubs right now.

 

I miss Paul Wellstone so much. He was the only one that would vote for what was right regardless of the political consequences.

 

I had the extreme honor of being able to work for Wellstone in the '96 elections and he was an amazing person. I was at a fundraiser for him and had to slip out early. Well, he was speaking and I tried to do it quietly and unobtrusively but he caught me sneaking out and stopped his speech to say good-bye to me and ask me if I had any questions for him before I had to leave. He was just so warm and genuinely sincere and caring. I really liked him a lot.

 

In other news, there really isn't much going on.

Evil Red Riding Hood

I'm so sad, my very favorite toy, the one I paid $80 for two months ago, is already broken and I can't find the receipt or the warranty. I'm also kinda pissed about that actually, cuz that is a lot of money for a product that only lasted two months. My last one lasted over two years.

 

Other than that I am just enjoying my last days before the kids are out of school. This is their last full week and they are done on June 7. And I don't start school till July 16. So, that's over a month of being home 24/7. I'm not looking forward to that. The fighting in the summer is pretty constant and I perpetually hear "I'm bored, I'm bored." Which, I don't blame them, I get bored too and I do as many free things as I can, like go to the pool, but there are only so many free things to do.

 

And we don't have any company coming this summer to look forward to. Last year at this time we were anticipating the arrival of our friends from France, whom we miss very much. But, this year we have no one coming to visit. :(

 

Well, my grandma is coming into town sometime in June to see the new baby, my sister-in-law is due sometime at the beginning of June, but I don't look forward to that as much as I look forward to seeing my friends. Although, we are very excited to be having a baby in the family again. As long as it isn't mine, that is. I don't plan on having any more kids unless I meet the Ultimate Prince Charming. Yet, I'm not getting my hopes up cuz I don't think he actually exists.

 

The Drunken Midgets, especially the youngest, are pretty excited too.

 

Now hopefully the youngest will stop pestering me for a little brother or sister. Or, maybe being around the baby will make her want one all the more, I don't know. But like I said, I'd only have more kids if I were married and I'd have to be married to somebody pretty damn perfect to even think of having any more kids.

 

And I'm certainly not doing it alone again, that is for sure! Raising two kids on my own is enough, thank you very much.

 

So, I don't know what I'm going to do with my day. When the Drunken Midgets get home we have the eldest's violin lesson and then we have to come home and clean before she goes to her dad's. The cleaning lady is coming on Sunday and I'll be damned if I'm going to clean it all myself.

 

But, until they get home, I have to work on my financial stuff, which I might actually put off until tomorrow cuz I'm going to see if I can go talk to my mom about it on Sunday.

 

I've been dreading this for months and I can't wait to get it over with.

 

I'm so screwed financially though, that $100 a month I have to pay Argosy is going to kill me. And not only are my bills going up but I have to cut down on my use of my mother's credit card. I am so screwed.

 

But, I'm not going to think about that now. For now I'm going to be in denial and enjoy it while I can.

 

So there.

 

In other news, Congress finally buckled and gave the Idiot King his war funding with no troop withdrawal date attached. Yeah, let's give the raving lunatic more money to wage his war. That makes so much sense. Haven't enough soldiers died in this war that cannot be won?

 

I was listening to NPR (National Public Radio) this morning and listened to a family talk about their experiences living in Bahgdad, or however you spell it. It was really sad, and made me really grateful for a lot of things, that's for sure. I got goosebumps listening to them talk, it was so tragic, this whole war is a tragedy that never should have happened.

 

And we just keep handing him blank checks and loads of more soldiers to send over there to die.

 

When will we learn?

 

And will we elect another Idiot to the Throne? Because, I don't think that We as a People have learned enough from Bush's Dictatorship. As long as we continue to fund this war, it just goes to show that we haven't learned a thing.

 

Over the span of the last two elections I have lost faith in the majority of the American People. It seems that so few in this country want to think for themselves. They'd rather just follow the loudest, most obnoxious, self righteous group of people there are. They'd rather be told what to think than to have to expend the energy to do it themselves.

 

This country needs a woman to run it. And not some Man-woman, you know who I mean, those women that get ahead because they lower themselves to play by men's rules in order to get the White Man's power. And, as much as I hate to use one of Rush Limbaugh's phrases, but we don't want some Femi-Nazi in office either. Not that one would ever get elected. And, I hate to say it, but they do exist and they give the rest of us Feminists a bad name cuz they are the ones who get all the press.

 

K, well I'm gonna hop down off of my Soapbox for now and go put in some music.

Bitching Session

Okay, I just need a few moments to vent. In my apartment we are allowed to do laundry until 10:00 at night. But, there's this woman that has the apartment next to the laundry room who always comes in and bitches at us when we put in laundry at 9:00, when we still have an hour to do it. So, last night my daughter goes down about 9:00 to put the final load in the dryer. Then, this morning I went down to get it. When I opened the dryer everything was still soaking wet. That bitch must have come down right after my daughter left and opened the dryer so it stopped. But, it still took my money. Basically she stole three bucks from me, which is how much it cost to dry those loads. So, not only do I have to spend three more dollars to finish it, but my kids have nothing to wear cuz we were counting on that load being dry this morning.

 

What a bitch. I should call the office and complain cuz as per my lease, I'm allowed to do laundry until 10:00 and she can't just pull that shit.

 

In other news, I have a bit more bitching to do. The youngest Drunken Midget is getting on my nerves. Every morning she expects me to get her a cup of coffee with cream and brush her hair for her. And, if she's feeling particularly lazy she expects me to find clothes for her to wear. And she's 11. Quite old enough to be doing these things herself. I'm not her freaking servant for Christ's sake. And the sad part is I just do it cuz if I don't it's a big argument and we end up being late every day.

 

It is so hard to get them up and out of bed. They are the Queens of "Five More Minutes". And I usually end up going in there three or four times to get them up. They are not morning people at all. And they hate it that I'm so upbeat and cheerful in the morning. Unless of course they are fighting or I'm pissed at them for not doing their chores. Then I'm not very nice in the morning. But, usually, by the time I wake them up, I've been up for a couple of hours and I am in a really good mood cuz I got to relax, watch my shows, and have my coffee.

 

I was just informed that there are only fifteen days left before school is out for the summer. Goddess help me. With summer comes the fighting 24/7 and constant complaints of "I'm bored!" And then there is the constant begging to go swimming. At least I'll be starting school again on July 16 so I'll get out of the house for a while every day.

 

Ooops, it's time to drop the kids at school.

Jumping Jehosaphat on a Bicycle

I should be cleaning. But, as you might have noticed, I am not cleaning. I'm pissing away the morning hours blogging and surfing blogs online.

 

Which, is actually ok with me. The cleaning lady is supposed to come today but she's canceled on me so many times, she can't get too pissed if I cancel on her.

 

Cuz, I am just not in the mood to clean up after the Drunken Midgets today. I did it all last week and I'm sick of it, damn it! They can pick it up when they get home cuz none of the mess outside of my room is mine. My room needs to be cleaned but it will take all of ten minutes cuz its not that messy. But it will take the girls at least an hour or more to pick up their mess in the kitchen, living room, hallway, and bathroom.

 

And they are just so frustratingly ridiculous when it comes to leaving stuff laying around. I walked down the hallway today and found a bowl of what used to be ice cream on the bookshelf in that hallway. Now, why on Earth would a child leave a dirty bowl there? And then I also found another piece of half eaten spring cheese a la crystals on that same bookshelf.

 

Why do they do this to me? I don't understand! How hard is it to throw something away or put a dish in the dishwasher? You'd think it would be so much easier to just do it then get yelled at thirty times in one day for not doing it.

 

I've thought about doing a Dr. Phil and taking everything they own and putting it in storage, leaving them with nothing but clothes, a bed, a dresser, a pillow, and a blanket. But that would mean so much work for me cuz they have so much fucking stuff.

 

But, I don't know what else to do. They are just slovenly (is that a word?) and no matter what I do, I can't seem to break them of the habit.

 

They just don't listen to me. I've even gotten to the point where when I find their crap laying around after I've told them to put it away I just toss it in the garbage, but they never seem to miss any of it. I've thrown so many things away and they just take their money that they earn and buy the same things and the cycle repeats itself all over again.

 

I think my youngest has bought the same toy cash register with fake money in it four times now. Every time she leaves it laying around and it gets thrown away.

 

Arrrgh!!!

 

Even though I love them dearly, they drive me absolutely nuts!!!!

 

Ok, I'm off to do something, anything, other than cleaning.

 

Laters!

Why?

Gazoo 

 

I am sooo bummed, my favorite radio station here in the Twin Cities, Drive105, the alternative music station, suddenly turned into Love105 and plays all love songs all the time. Can someone please get me some poison or a rope so I can hang myself? I HATE love songs.

 

And I loved Drive105 cuz they actually played music in the morning, they had no annoying morning show DJs like all the other stations. Now I have nothing to listen to in the morning on the way to bring the girls to school. The morning shows are so banal and lame, they make me want to hit my head against a brick wall until my brains spill out onto the floor.

 

Of course, if I had a newer car that actually had a CD player, that problem could be solved. However, I don't even have a tape player in my car, just a factory radio. It was definitely one of the cheaper, bottom of the line versions of the Prizm. But, it runs great and it is uber reliable. I love my car. Her name is Sally. She's awesome even though she has no CD player and 147,000+ miles on her. I even made a charm to protect her from accidents and breaking down. It's an Indian bag I sewed together and put some stones and herbs in it conducive to protection in general, and specifically protection from accidents and breaking down.

 

But, back to the original topic, I hate morning DJs. Especially on 93X. There's all these sexist guys going on about women they would never in a million years have a chance with, and they put down all the heavier women, even though they are no catches themselves. Of course their version of heavy is ten pounds over weight. They were picking on Liv Tyler's (whats-her-name from Lord of The Rings, the dark haired elf woman. Goddess, that's bugging me now, what is her name?) sister and she's not even that heavy.

 

So, I am bummed. On the website for the new station they asked for listeners to write in and give their feedback. I told them I hated the new station and missed Drive105 terribly. I'm sure it will make them immediately bring back Drive105 cuz I am so awesome and all-powerful. Just kidding. No, I'm just really bored and listening Charmed on tv, but I think I'm going to put in a CD. Probably The Wall by Pink Floyd.

 

They were supposed to come and inspect last Wednesday but they never showed up. I hope they didn't get their days mixed up and have someone show up today, cuz my house is trashed! I'm making the kids do their chores when they get home cuz it's all their stuff all over, not mine. My room is a bit messy, but that will only take ten minutes or so to clean up. But the rest of the house looks like a tornado ripped through it. My kids are sooooo messy. It drives me nuts. They never put anything away and just leave it all wherever they feel like it, including like wrappers and garbage.

 

It's so annoying. And I cleaned the house every day last week, they didn't do any chores, and I'm damn well not about to do their chores again this week!

 

So there!

 

But that means I have to spend my day navigating through the mess. I hate it when my house is a mess, but these kids need to learn to do their damn chores. If either of them ends up having a roomate someday, that roomate is going to hate living with them cuz they are soooooo messy. And woe be to their future husbands if they were expecting a wife who actually cleans.

 

Not that they should have to do the cleaning just cuz they are women, and it would be funny if they hooked up with men who had to pick up after THEM. That would be hilarious. I'd love that.

 

Okay, I'm off to... I have no idea... But I'll figure it out soon enough.

 

Laters!

Don't Pump Gas On May 15th

I've received quite a few of these emails so I thought I'd share it with my readers...

 

Don't pump gas on May 15th
...in April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted
nationwide in protest of gas prices.
Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.

On May 15th 2007 , we ask that all internet members not
go to a gas station in protest of
high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in a lot
of places.

There are 9,000,000+ American members currently on all
the internet networks, and the
average car takes about 20 to 30 dollars to fill up.

If all internet user members did not go to the pump on
the 15th, it would take
$2,700,000,000.00 (that's BILLION) out of the oil
companies pockets for just one day,
so please do not go to the gas station on May 15th and
lets try to put a dent in the
Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day.

If you agree (which I cant see why you wouldn't) repost
this bulletin repost it with
'Don't pump gas on May 15th'

He's an Executive Transvestite

I have had a very long day already and it's not even noon yet. The youngest woke up this morning having a hard time breathing. She's had problems with asthma in the past but hasn't had an attack for almost a year. So, she took her inhaler but that didn't help so I had to hurry up, drop the eldest at school and then run the youngest to the ER.

 

I LOATHE the Emergency Room. It took them three hours to give her two nebulizers (five minutes each) and write her a prescription for a new inhaler cuz hers was expired. Three hours. I couldn't believe it. I mean, two hours into it I was ready to strangle the next doctor I saw. By two and a half hours I was standing in the doorway with a scowl on my face so they knew just how irritated I was. By the time they finally came in with her paperwork I was about ready to explode, so it was good that they got there when they did.

 

I tell ya, two more minutes and I would have lost it.

 

I hate being confined to a room to wait eternally for doctors who don't know what the hell they are doing half the time anyway.

 

And I'm sure I'll get a call from the school cuz she was so late to school today. Wankers. If I had sent her, they would have been pissed and sent her home anyway cuz she couldn't freakin' breathe. So, I do what I should do, and take her to the ER, and they are still pissed at me.

 

And now everytime she's sick I have to get a doctor's note cuz she's missed so many days this year due to migraines. Not only that, but they say if she keeps missing days they can file a suit against me in family court for neglect.

 

Now, aside from the fact that I get migraines too and I know you just can't do anything when you have one, she always throws up when she has one. So, even if I sent her to school, she'd vomit half an hour into the day and they would just send her home anyway.

 

I don't know what the hell they want me to do. Every day she's missed has been due to illness. It's not like I'm letting her skip school and taking her to the fucking track to bet on the ponies.

 

I mean, JEBUS!!!

 

 

 

So anyway, that little field trip sucked up my entire morning and I will hardly get any time to myself today. The youngest comes home so early, she's home before 2:30. Next year though she won't be home until 4:00 cuz she'll be at the middle school.

 

Okay, I'm off to call a friend of mine to chat.

What's New?

I noticed that there is a blog on Blogspirit called Christians under Attack. Maybe, just maybe, Christians wouldn't be under attack if they would quit waging their Holy War against Islam and stop trying to force everyone to convert to their religion and twisted sense of morals and shame. I'm really beginning to hate Christians. I try not to hate anyone, but it's hard not to hate a religion that burned nine million supposed witches, 80% of which were women, during the Burning Times, and continues its agressive attack on my form of spirituality by attempting to associate me and my kind with the Devil.

 

:::Gets down off of soapbox:::

 

In other news, the kids are back in school after Spring Break. Yay!!! I'm so very happy about that. I have my house back, messy though it may be, and I don't have to listen to any fighting for the next six hours.

 

I had a very uneventful weekend. Watched a lot of Buffy and Angel reruns and went to bed early both nights. I had a couple invitations to go out, but I have not a dime to my name so I couldn't really go anywhere. I'm so glad I'll be done with school by next summer and working. I'm so sick of being broke all the time.

 

I just have to get through the placement tests and financial aid application and I'm home free.

 

I hope it goes off without a hitch, cuz I just can't handle any more stress right now. Not when it comes to school and my future.

 

K, then, I'm off to veg in front of the tv for a bit.

Restless and Bitchy

I am feeling very restless this morning. There is nothing on tv, and nothing that I really want to do. I've seen all my movies a billion times each, and I've read so much the last couple weeks I just can't read no more, no more. I don't know what I'm going to do after I drop the eldest at her dad's. I really wanted to hit the used bookstore, but I'm too broke.

 

But at least I'll have the house to myself and I won't have to put up with the girls whining about being bored, for one night anyway.

 

The yougest should be a treat when she comes home, I ran out of her meds and went to the pharmacy to refill them only to find out the pharmacy had closed with no warning whatsoever. Instead of sending our records to the other Snyder's in my city they sent it to Cub foods pharmacy, but apparently Cub has never heard of us. So, I have to bring the prescription bottles the the pharmacy I want to use and see if they can sort it out. I'll probably go to Walgreen's. They have automatic refill and they are open 24 hours a day.

 

But, after not having her meds all weekend, the youngest is going to be awful to deal with when she comes home on Sunday. So, I have that to look forward to. And the eldest is always a treat when she comes back from her dad's and usually ends up crying about something he or his Bitch did or didn't do. So, that will also be very fun to deal with.

 

That's why I don't push her dad to fulfill his end of the visitation agreement. She generally doesn't want to go over there more than two days a month and would rather stay home on Friday and just see him from Saturday to Sunday on his weekends. That says a lot about his ability as a parent and how they treat her. When he cancels, she usually doesn't even care. She gets jealous cuz he gives his Bitch's niece so much attention cuz they have sports in common, and my daughter isn't really into sports like they are. So she often gets left out and they go and do fun stuff on the weekends she isn't there and then usually just sit around when she is there.

 

Not like he could make an attempt to show interest in the things she likes, instead he just expects her to like what he likes and when she doesn't he just ignores her. Although, maybe she'd be more interested in hockey if he ever took her to a game, but he's always too busy bringing his niece to them. He treats her a lot better than he treats my daughter, in fact she has now moved in with them and taken over my daughter's room there.

 

It really makes me mad that he can't even make an attempt to be a decent father. My daughter deserves so much better than what he's giving her.

 

But, I'm going to forget about all of that now and concentrate on the good part of my weekend, having the day and night off. Now that I've bitched about it I can move on with my weekend and enjoy my break. Even if I'm bored out of my mind, at least I have the house to myself.

Yule, Orgasm Day, and Happy Fucking Holidays!!

Only two more days until Yule!! On Friday my kids and I will open our first round of presents, and then finish up opening with my Catholic family on Christmas Eve. I'd better hurry the hell up and finish my holiday shopping then!!

 

And don't forget, dear readers, that Friday (The Winter Solstice and the Wiccan Yule) is Global Orgasm Day. So whip out your toys, your hand, or your partner and have a big O in the interests of peace on earth!! I had stocked up on batteries, but went through them all already so I'll have to go out and buy more!

 

In other news, I am loving my holiday break with no homework and until tomorrow, no kids during the day. I've done absolutely nothing and loving every minute of it!!

 

And I have to say that I am very irritated with all these damn Christians and their insistence that people say Merry Christmas as opposed to Happy Holidays. Don't they have anything better to do? Not to mention that there are so many other more pressing issues in the world today, so do we really have to spend so much time and energy forcing our beliefs down everyone esle's throat? If you want to say Merry Christmas to somebody than fucking say it, but don't try and force the rest of us to say it, you fuckwits. I mean, no matter what you choose to believe there are other people in this world that don't share your narrow religious view so get over it already!!!

 

JEBUS CHRIST!!!

 

Okay, I'm done ranting now. I'm gonna go listen to Marilyn Manson and see if the bf is online.

 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

 

Laters!

Raven

Wanted: A Wife

I've decided that the I need a wife. Not because I'm a lesbian, but because I think that would be the answer to all my problems. After cooking Thanksgiving dinner for a bunch of ungrateful men I've realized that the best way to get along in this world is with a wife. Someone to cook and clean for me, wait on me, anticipate my every need. That would be the life. It's not like I need a husband to satisfy me sexually as I have my toys, and let me tell you, I've found more satisfaction with my toys than I have with most men. Not all men, just most men. No offense guys, but I just have to be honest here.

 

I mean, my mom has been waiting on my dad for thirty some years now, and while he does do laundry and wrap Christmas presents, that's just not a whole lot compared to all she does. So, I'm on the lookout for a wife. If anyone knows of one who would like to service me (again, not sexually), let me know!

YES!!! We WON!!!

I am so terribly tickled at the Dems collective victories this election!! (Though I am a bit depressed about the fact that here in MN we're stuck with Pawlenty again. What's up with that???) It's about damn time the American public came out of it's stupor and voted intelligently. After the last presidentail election I had nearly lost hope in the competency of the American voting public. And yes Leo, I'm doing my Democrat happy dance right now, which is actually kinda hard to do while I type, but that's okay.

 

In other news I have Microbiology today and I really, really don't want to go. But unfortunately I have no choice, I simply cannot miss any more class. Bummer for me I guess.

 

I just hope my car holds up for the rest of the semester. :::knocks on wood::: It has over 143,000 miles on it and could go at any time, which would really fuck things up for me as I absolutely cannot miss another class in either of my classes.

 

Well, I'd better go make some coffee before I give up and crawl back into bed.

Jebus Fucking Christ

I am so sick of hearing about John Kerry's supposed insult directed to the troops in Iraq. We all know, at least us people with half a brain, that that was NOT his intent when he made the comment he did. Here is his response to all the freaking out done by the G.O.P in response to his comment (What a bunch of wankers!):

 

“If anyone thinks a veteran would criticize the more than 140,000 heroes serving in Iraq and not the president who got us stuck there, they’re crazy. This is the classic G.O.P. playbook.  I’m sick and tired of these despicable Republican attacks that always seem to come from those who never can be found to serve in war, but love to attack those who did.

I’m not going to be lectured by a stuffed suit White House mouthpiece standing behind a podium, or doughy Rush Limbaugh, who no doubt today will take a break from belittling Michael J. Fox’s Parkinson’s disease to start lying about me just as they have lied about Iraq . It disgusts me that these Republican hacks, who have never worn the uniform of our country lie and distort so blatantly and carelessly about those who have.

The people who owe our troops an apology are George W. Bush and Dick Cheney who misled America into war and have given us a Katrina foreign policy that has betrayed our ideals, killed and maimed our soldiers, and widened the terrorist threat instead of defeating it. These Republicans are afraid to debate veterans who live and breathe the concerns of our troops, not the empty slogans of an Administration that sent our brave troops to war without body armor.

Bottom line, these Republicans want to debate straw men because they’re afraid to debate real men. And this time it won’t work because we’re going to stay in their face with the truth and deny them even a sliver of light for their distortions. No Democrat will be bullied by an administration that has a cut and run policy in Afghanistan and a stand still and lose strategy in Iraq .”

 

Well said Mr. Kerry!!!!

Hematology, Church, and Evil

Thursdays are my least favorite day of the week. I have Hematology and I hate it. Plus we have a test today on six chapters of Hemolytic anemias which isn't helping me want to go at all. I've been studying my ass off for it but despairing of memorizing all I have to remember for this test. I'm hoping we have a break in between lab and lecture so I can get a bit more studying in.

 

So, the eldest Drunken Midget went to church with her friend last night, one of those born again churches. She came home and went off for like an hour about everything they said. She was so pissed. The theme was homosexuality and how evil it is (we have an relative who is gay) and she was irate about it. She's all 'they are brainwashing these kids!' to which I replied, of course they are, they're Christians. She vehemently swore she would never attend another church gathering ever again. It was pretty funny.

 

Of course, having once been a born again Christian who thankfully escaped the evil clutches of Christianity, I could have told her that is the way it was going to be.

 

There is this sight on blogspirit called 'Christians Under Attack' that details all the ways in which Christians are persecuted against and killed around the world. No
