Oh, man
Politics.
Mudd made a HUGE mistake last night.
He pissed off a First-Day Scorpio with a knife in her hand.
You don't mess with me on the first day of my period, buddy.
Somehow comparing Bush's Katrina response with Monica's presidential blow job just about sent me homicidal.
After the screaming had stopped, I looked him straight in the eye and said "You know, if Bush WAS getting blow jobs regularly, I think the country would be in better shape. There's no chance since Gannon's press pass was revoked tho'."
I think what Clinton did was sexual harrassment at best. I think the feminist community failed to hold him accountable for misuse of his title and prestige for sexual favors. But bloody hell, a little sex versus 40K + dead? Then he changed tactics and went with Waco and Ruby Ridge. There I countered that Reno had stood up and said "This is my responsibility." (the retort was that Clinton put in people who would fall on their swords for him)
Folks, EVERY time Monica gets brought up, counter with Jeff Gannon, please? If nothing else, it will remind dogfuckingconservatives that they aren't so pure and spotless. Also, ask "So, this fascination with a decade old blow job? Has it been that long since YOU got one?"
Mudd worries that I've gone so liberal in the past 3-4 years. Just as he's starting to slip out of his socialist politics and into "Screw you jack, I got mine," I'm growing a social conscience.
We're both practical, understanding that the status quo is god for a lot of people. That change makes people uncomfortable. I reminded him that if all the gay folks vanished, he'd never notice until he ran out of socks or got hungry or horny. He had to agree that most people wouldn't notice or care. It's the same with white folks. They'd never really notice if all the blacks vanished. It's not active hate, it's just apathy and complacency for the most part. Give them a ballot box and something that's changing the status quo? Then you get hate.
On paper, we're wealthy. We benefit from the tax cuts, we benefit from the capital gains reduction.
But it hasn't been that long ago we were poor, eating WIC food and waiting forever for shots at the health department.
I remember being hungry, even if he doesn't. I'm for a strong safety net, especially now. There will always be those who mistake it for a hammock. But that should not stop us from aiding those who are merely bouncing, getting to their feet and trying again.
In the end I won. The Davis-Bacon Act of 1931 being overridden (I WISH I could find a link), allowing Halliburton to pay the contractorsa shanty, beans, salt pork and a new shirt once a year below market average just sat wrong with him too.
Just when I think it can't get any worse, it does.
