A Sad Day in American History

The mood around the city was very somber yesterday. People looked shocked and bewildered, as though trying to make sense out of how things could have gone so wrong. But there is no mystery as to what happened. The Christians put him back in office.

Despite the fact that George Bush lied to the American people about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq,
Despite the fact that he lied to us about Iraqi links to Al Qaeda,
Despite the fact that he lied to us repeatedly about conditions in Iraq, including the Abu Grahib prison scandal,
Despite the fact that he continues to tell us that he has made America and the world a safer place when terrorist attacks worldwide have increased,
Despite the fact that his administration’s planning for the war in Iraq was, at best, incompetent, in that we didn't have enough soldiers on the ground to do the job, we didn't have the proper body armor/equipment armor, we never secured the borders thereby allowing thousands of foreign terrorist fighters to stream into Iraq,
Despite the fact that this president has made America a laughingstock among the nations to the point where we are so alienated in the world that no one really wants to help us, at all, to do anything,
Despite the fact that American energy policy was developed in closed-door sessions exclusively with cronies and friends,
Despite the fact that George Bush had the interests of the Saudi Royal Family in mind over the interests of the American people after the 9/11 attacks, when he let a whole planeload of Osama bin Laden's family leave American airspace,
Despite these and many other things, the Christians with their myopic world view, have put George Bush back in office because, by god, we can't have the faggots getting married and we damn sure can't have women in charge of their own bodies.

But hey, I'm not bitter, and if you ask, I'll tell you how I really feel....

Friends don't let friends vote for Bush

I have a friend who, I’m very nearly certain, voted for Bush. He told me as recently as a week prior to the election that he was considering voting for Bush because of the terrorism issue. I’m thinking very seriously about cutting him off as a friend. You see, the problem isn’t necessarily that he voted for Bush, it’s that I no longer respect him for coming to that decision. Having succumbed to America’s jingoistic view of Muslims I now think that perhaps my friend doesn’t have the intellectual agility I originally credited to him. Is there any one else out there who feels betrayed by a friend who voted for Bush? I’m interested in reader’s opinions on the matter so please post a comment.

Away Too Long

I know...I know, its been far too long since my last post. But I'm here now and I'll catch you up on everything. So, since getting laid-off, I have been thinking about going back to school. The thing is, I've been thinking about going back for 10 years, but the thought of it always filled me with terror because I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do. Well, I decided to go to Seattle Central and get a certificate in computer networking. My thinking is this: get certified in something that leads to working smart instead of hard. Then, that job can take me back to school for something I really want to do. So anyway, there is a program through Unemployment Insurance called the Commissioner Approved Training Plan that allows one to go to school while still recieving one's unemployment benefits, without having to do the weekly job searches. The program doesn't pay for school, it just allows one to go to school and not have to work. Sounds like a great program, huh?...

How Boring

OK, so I decided that I wasn't going to write anything political, that I was just gonna write about personal stuff. And I haven't written a thing in two weeks. How boring is my life? But I've got some stuff coming.....
