Sudden Horrific Thought: "IDK, my BFF Jill?"

Here's a sudden and absolutely horrific thought for all of you to consider:

The youth vote has always been important. Bear in mind that we are currently trusting a generation that has learned to communicate primarily in acronyms and AIMspeak to decide the future of this nation. Plus, they see no problem with texting while driving.

This thought will keep me up at night.



Can't sleep; text messaging will eat me.
Can't sleep; text messaging will eat me.
Can't sleep; text messaging will eat me.
Can't sleep; text messaging will eat me.
Can't sleep; text messaging will eat me...

A most excellent stuff

It would appear that I have something in common with North Korean leader Kim Jong-il: we have a mutual love of Hennessy. I'm wishing I had some right now. Can't get the desire out of my head. I also have a hankering for a vintage typewriter, but that is a matter I'm attending to shortly.

So, I ask those of you who have tasted cognac, what is your favorite brand and grade? I myself have only tasted Hennessy VS, so I am a tad inexperienced (though entirely enthusiastic).

Your comments. Show them to me.

Officially and Irreversibly Screwed

Ladies and Gentlemen, let October 3, 2008, stand as the day America was thoroughly f*cked by its politicians and bankers.

This bill was passed too hastily, it's giving Wall Street way too much leeway (not to mention being rewarded for something it should have been violently punished for). The people that got us into this mess are the same ones that are claiming to get us out, a promise I have a hard time believing. Especially because we, the taxpayers, are no doubt going to be the ones who get to finance this. Think of it this way: the government didn't buy up $700 billion of bad mortgages, we bought $700 billion in bad mortgages that we didn't want to. Sounds more like someone stole the nation's credit card and racked up a crapload of bills.

Maybe it will work out in the end; maybe it won't. But the whole damn thing stinks. Considering the incompetence of our national leaders, I am not holding out hope for the future. My generation, and the generations to follow, are the ones that are going to have to pay this. Goodness knows how! How many of us can't find work, or have to work two jobs at minimum wage to keep from sliding into debt? Who do they expect to pay for this?

We're screwed. Utterly and thoroughly screwed.

Passive Campaigning

There's a chain email going around, addressed to fanatical enthusiastic Obama supporters. The message states that they should go to the November polls not wearing any buttons, shirts, etc. that bear the name of their Lord and Saviour. The reason being is that this could be construed as passive campaigning; campaigning is verboten anywhere near the polls, so the believer supporter would be removed from the polls before being allowed to vote.

The veracity of this chain letter is a somewhat tangled beast, as are the laws surrounding electioneering. Snopes.com tried to unravel it, but pretty much came to the same conclusion that I am going to tell you: if there's any doubt whatsoever, leave your candidate buttons and shirts home. That goes for all parties, all candidates. Obama supporters, McCain supporters, everyone. Seriously, you don't need to take so much pride in who you're voting for on election day. The vote is secret for a reason. There's no need to make sure everyone in your vicinity knows exactly which candidate owns the cock you're so eagerly sucking you're rooting for. Just go in, vote, and go get a coffee or something and wait until the next day to see which lying sack of spit is your new commander-in-chief.
