What?
Its been a few days so I decided that I needed to spew some venom. The trouble is ... where? Bella Pelosi? Devoid Patrick? Booooosh?
Anyway, some thoughts:
1. Surge, my ass. I seriously doubt that there is any point. But interestingly, all the Dems who were pro-surge prior to the election (many of them) are now strangely silent? Why could that be? Afraid of the assault led by the vampire Bella Pelosi? Remember when Kerry was running for election in 2004? He said in his last month on the campaign trail that he thought that, if elected, he could get the troops home by ... 2008. Thus, that was the official Democrat party line, right? Vetted by the DNC as the policy. Now that Boooosh has stated that he wants to do that, it is all of a sudden wrong?
2. The Vampire threatens the surge with Murtha by holding the purse strings. The Vampire also states that the Iraq problem cannot be solved militarily .... Folks, that is the biggest crock of shit ever. What, she thinks that this can be solved POLITICALLY? Through diplomacy? Has she had her plasticized head up her ass for the last 5 years? These people want to KILL each other, not talk out their differences. And kill us too. What in the name of all that is good and holy do liberals not understand about this situation ... that talking is a weakness in the enemy's eyes, or a good stalling tactic to confuse European governments into thinking that they might "see the light." IDIOTS. Not that Boosh and his team are not idiots, 'cause they are, and so are most of the GOP members of the House and Senate. But everyone calls them that -- nobody is willing (in the press) to call the Dems the same sort of morons. Equal time for equal idiocy, I always say.
And the Vampire has the balls (she must have some in order to be that stupid) to claim that the Republicans have no plan. WHAT THE HELL HAVE THE DEMOCRATS EVER COME UP WITH THAT EVEN REMOTELY RESEMBLES A PLAN???? EVER????
3. Devoid Watch: his new cabinet of movers and shakers seems pretty light to me, but ... it pains me to confess this ... they seem to, on the whole, be decent choices. A few craven party and campaign hacks, but some decent appointees too. Bravo, Devoid.
4. The weather. How about some snow?
5. Apple Computers. You know, I would really like to buy and Apple Mac Pro, but when I add up the software costs, coupled with the initial price differential, I come to the conclusion that I can buy a totally pimped out Dell XPS, 2.4 gig Core 2 Duo, twin 250gb raid 1, 512 MB video ATI 1900, twin X48 DVD writers, 2GB RAM, 20" HD monitor, TV tuner ... for about $1500 less. For that price, I can buy a pimped out notebook into the bargain.
What and when will Apple ever get to the point that they are price competitive. Sure, they "work better" and have a slicker interface, etc. But when it is your own hard earned cash, it is not THAT much slicker! The Dell comparo is not a stripped out but an over the top Windows based jammin' fool machine. The Mac Pro does not even come with TV tuner, or a monitor!! SAAB buyers probably see sense in the Mac -- a premium for difference's sake -- even though SAABs are now largely Opels and Vauxhalls (GMs Euro subs) ... but it gives you counter-culture cred. And someone else is most likely paying for it. That being said, the Mac notebooks really are enough superior to warrant it. I am typing on a 5 year old IBM notebook....
6. Bangor, Maine has decided to make it a crime to smoke a cigarette in a car with children in it. My parents would be at San Quentin by now as incorrigible recidivists. I TOTALLY agree with the law. And we should subject idiots with cell phones plastered to their ears while driving to anal taser treatment.
7. Some liberals are whining about civilian casualties inflicted by our incursion in Somalia. Shut up.
8. Beckham goes to Hollywood. Posh must just be wetting herself. Finally, she gets to go and live where she belongs: Neverland. Of course, she might find that she is too fat there. But seriously Becks, we know it is because of your dismissal from the England squad that you decided to move, if there had been even a small chance, you'd have stayed in Madrid or gone back to the UK. So here is a thought: become a US citizen and play for us.
9. Back injuries really suck. People who have not had one cannot really fathom what it means for every small motion to be rewarded by the feeling of being stabbed. Ugh.
Maybe tomorrow I will get motivated to really rip a new one for some beneficiary. But then again, maybe not.
