valarltd | Cynical thoughts for a rainy morning

No matter how cynical I get it's never enough to keep up.

1) Is it possible the Iraq War is the solution to unemployment? Get the younger people who can't find work to enlist (hey gang! food, clothes, housing!) send them over and get them killed. War has always been the human answer to overpopulation. Disease is nature's answer.

2) Can we put all the candidates: Bush, Kerry, Nader, and all the nobodies, in a locked room and let them bore each other to death? We'll throw in twinkies and pretzels at 3 day intervals.

3) New Reality TV show: Who Wants to Be President? Contenders for the highest office must spend a year supporting a family of 4 on an inadequate salary. Thrill to the challenge of the weekly grocery trips. Agonize over medical treatment or car repair. Explore exciting new locales: the car-title loan place, the blood bank that pays for plasma.

4) Husband conceded that if all the GLBT people vanished tomorrow, I'd be the only one he would really notice as missing. And only when he couldn't find clean socks. (That says more about the frequency with which we see each other than about his attitude)

And have I mentioned the bayous I live between are way up? I'll be lucky if our cross-street isn't flooded. The school street is.
You, Thibidou! Git de punt.

Kids went out for Winne-the-Pooh last night. Bunny read for Rabbit. She was loud, clear and in character. Obi read for Christopher Robin. He was very loud, very clear, and does a KILLER accent. He sounds like CR from the Disney Movie when he says "Silly old bear."

Of course, getting up 5 times in the night because of the thunder and my tummy did not make Angel a happy lady. Neither did driving to work in the rain. People here drive like idiots normally, and rain just increases the idiocy.
