wednesdays rant: idiots

i had the greatest of intentions.

really i did.

i sat down hoping that despite the news

some touchy ~ feely ~

life is beautiful ~granola crunchy prose

was going to salsa dance off my fingers and onto the screen.

as it turns out

my mind had other things...on it's mind. 

like

seriously...

idiots.

i mean....really people

must we go through this again?

and if we have to suffer birds drenched in gobs of oozy oil

and beaches slick with gunk

should the captain really be released on bail???

and what about all this greed?

for a significant chunk of the american population,

life is not getting better and hasn't been for a long time.

the economic crisis is even crushing the hopes of the younger generation.

astonishingly, people in their early twenties

face an unemployment rate similar to high-school dropouts.
and salaries...best to not even start ...

and it just keeps rolling downhill

republicans...

i have been fighting to hang on to

any shread of sanity about your party.

i have listened to your debates.

i have been open minded.

i have even at times, defended you.

but it seems you are going to great lengths

to make it impossible for any rational person to find 

ANYTHING

positive in your defense.

i mean first of all

there's palin and bachmann
?

BUT

no to the jobs bill?

no to soldiers who want to give their life for this country?

no to normal and reasonable taxes on millionaires?

and my personal favorite

rep. ritch workman (r) of fl who has decided that

the best use of his time is to not working with homeless

or helping create jobs in his community

but throwing his time, effort and resources into repealing

 dwarf tossing

we definitely have an existential country wide

question on our hands....

it's time to figure out who do we want to be

and

what are we going to do about

all the idiots?

 and she's off

her soapbox that is
