Three Men and an Alien.....

The heartwarming story of three inept men and one really odd alien facing the challenges of incompetence together.

These, my friends, are our leaders......

Now being a person who talks a lot, I can understand freudian slips or word jumbles. But I tend to hold people of significant power to higher standards when they are making bold and political statements. Should I not? Are these not the people we should turn to for answers? Are these not the people making the decisions that ultimately affect our existence?

In light of the fact that I am having a particularly hard time keeping myself from flinging random items at the television every time I see one of our "leaders", I have decided to uses a this blog as a bit of therapy.

So with no further ado I present to you a few my favorite stupid things our leaders have said, in no particular order. And since I am loathing Dick Cheney a bit more today than usual, I will start with him.



Dick Cheney on dealing with terrorists:

"I think you have to destroy them. It's the only way to deal with them."

Does anyone else think he is channeling a deceased leader from Germany? Hmm...... ponder that for a while.

"My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators." --March 16, 2003

"I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency." -- on the Iraq insurgency, June 20, 2005

"Go f*ck yourself." --to Sen. Patrick Leahy, during an angry exchange on the Senate floor about profiteering by Halliburton, June 25, 2004

On we go to Donald Rumsfeld......

"As you know, you go to war with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time." —Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, responding to a U.S. soldier serving in Iraq who asked him why troops had to dig through scrap metal to armor vehicles, Dec. 8, 2004 (Source)

"I am not going to give you a number for it because it's not my business to do intelligent work." --Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, asked to estimate the number of Iraqi insurgents while testifying before Congress, Feb. 16, 2005


Wow, good stuff huh? And finally, everyones personal favorite:




"I mean, there was a serious international effort to say to Saddam Hussein, you're a threat. And the 9/11 attacks extenuated that threat, as far as I-concerned." —George W. Bush, Philadelphia, Dec. 12, 2005

"You see, not only did the attacks help accelerate a recession, the attacks reminded us that we are at war." —George W. Bush, on the Sept. 11 attacks, Washington, D.C., June 8, 2005

And my personal favorite:

"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." —George W. Bush, Greece, N.Y., May 24, 2005 (Listen to audio)

Alright, I feel a little bit better now that I got to take out my frustrations posting this stuff. At least my television is spared for one more day.( but between you and me that box has been cruisin for a brusin' for quite some time now anyway)














Watch This!!!!!

Hello all! I thought I would post a clip my mother sent me. She's always really good about finding random liberal stuff online. It is so funny, and see Mom, I told you Will Ferrell was hysterical.

So whats wrong with an effin' truce?????

I guess my whole life I have been made to think that a truce was a good thing. I guess I was wrong. To hear it from the Bush Administration, a truce is a admonishment of failure. I thought I wasn't going to have anything new to write about today, but then the CIA authenticated Osama Bin Laden tape appeared on Al-Jazeera and across the globe in milliseconds.

And again I have been amazed at the sheer ignorance of our political leaders. White House spokesman Scott McClellan spoke with reporters today in response to the tapes and discussed Osama's reference to a "truce" among our nations. Now the word in question here is TRUCE. The dictionary defines a truce as:

" a state of peace agreed to between opponents so they can discuss peace terms "
OR

"A temporary cessation or suspension of hostilities by agreement of the opposing sides; an armistice.
A respite from a disagreeable state of affairs"
So here is my question. What is the F****** problem with a truce>?
Here is what our genius McClellan had to say today in the Washington Post:
"We do not negotiate with terrorists. We put them out of business. The terrorists started this war and the president made it clear that we will end it at a time and place of our choosing."
O.K. So let me get this straight. We have "terrorists" who have been making systematic attacks around the world, killing innocent people and who are just generally pissed off and impossible to reason with. And these same irrational terrorists are proposing a truce and we decline? And not just decline. Slam down in the most irrational way!!
Who sounds like the terrorist now?
I don't pretend to know everything that our so-called intelligence knows, but I do know this. It would be ignorant and stupid in the most immense and profound way to turn down an opportunity to create conversation if even for just one day.
Right now what are our alternatives? Endless more lives lost?
For once it would be nice to have someone with half a brain make the decisions that affect human life.
I also want to take the time to applaud the many American people who oppose the war and are vocal about it in the opinion polls. By speaking up we can show the rest of the world that we are all not war mongering idiots.
To read the full transcript of the tape click on this link.
FYI: A truce was offered to Great Britian before the attacks on London. They declined. Hmm......forshadowing maybe????

It feels like a freakin' monday up in this place!!!!

So I've been feeling kind of bleh lately and haven't really had anything of value to share with you kiddies. And in effect I ended up posting a picture of a kitty.

Maybe it's because I am on school break and only have 999,999 things to do as opposed to 1,545,987 things to occupy my week.

Don't you fear, I'm sure the ball with get rollin' with some new and interesting material once I return to that slacker/stoner/creative type hell hole that prances around in disguise as a college next week.

Until then I thought I'd share a tidbit from the Onion that made me laugh outloud. Yes, I know it is probably in poor taste, but dammit its funny.

"Suicide Bomber Reacts Poorly To Surprise Birthday Party"



And now I leave you, with the dying urge to post another ridiculous animal picture. I Will Not Succumb!! I know I know, I have a problem.

Afternoon Randomness......


Dear Animal Owners:

Dare I ask? What in gods name would make you do this to your cat? I know it's semi-funny when you first see it, but then it slowly becomes sad.

Poor thing. His little kitty boobs are now forever exposed for the world to see.


CAT: I feel so used......so naked.......
Owner: "You look sooooo cute!! Doesn't he look cute? Like a little lion?
CAT: I hate you.
Owner: "Aren't you just the cutest little lion in the whole world? Yes you are! Let me go get the camera"
CAT: NO! Not the camera!!!! You stupid f*!@. I will poop in your shoes! I WILL I SWEAR!
Owner: "Ok little lion!! Smile pretty for the camera!!!" Wait till my Aunt Agnes sees you!!"
CAT: I piss in your mouth in your sleep.
Owner: "What's that? You want to show off your new haircut?"
CAT: NO!!!! All my friends will see!!!! I'm dying inside. You have killed me. Dead.......

-THE END

Moving On......

Have you ever had a moment in your life where you can feel yourself change? Spiritually, mentally, physically, whatever. It's really intense.

Earlier tonight I had such a moment.

Sitting around people and "friends" that I have grown to know over the last few years at my part-time jobs yearly Xmas party, I felt a click in my heart.

For months I have been fighting it. These are people that are slightly amusing, but not earth-shaking. And on some level I feel like I have grown attached to a few of them. Even the people aside, my job itself is pretty sweet. Not only do I have the best bosses in town (financially and patiently) for bar owners, the job itself is pretty cake.

Yet tonight the finality of my own personal change finally outweighed the positive aspects of my surroundings.

I really admire those people who can just go to "Work" and tune out their surroundings long enough to make money. I, on the other hand, need to somehow enjoy what I do. Even if it's part-time. At least enough to make me feel that I am not completely surrounded by assholes who could care less about me, or the world around them for that matter.

It's not that I am seeking some intellectual haven, (Please it is the service industry!), its just that I like to have a decent conversation once in a while. Is that too much to ask?

In my current situation it is. It's like I'm surrounded by mental midgets. It's not like some of these people are not smart, some of them suprise me with their intellect. They just don't seem to care! About anything.

There is so much I love about my bar: the live blues music, the entertainers, the tourists. And there is so much I hate about it: the entertainers (sometimes), the tourists ( most of the time) and the dullness I feel being surrounded by people that do not inspire or motivate in me in any way.

So tonight, I felt the click. That moment of no return when you finally realize something is over. A relationship, a job, a liking to a favorite show. Whatever.

How I long for the days of simple wage earnings. No bullshit, no feelings, no cares. If only I could be a working class zombie. Hmmm... how much easier everything could be. (PLEASE NOTE: SARCASM IN USE)

"Would you like fries with that?" would be my motto.

But alas, I am destined for the harder( but hopefully more prosperous) road. I know I will become a better person for it and at least I won't have to serve fries in a paper hat, or worse yet, wake up at 37 and realize that I still work in a bar.
