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 There's no chance since Gannon's press pass was revoked tho'."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.

As I said, pissing off an Irish Scorpio with a knife in her hand on the first day of her period is NOT a smart move.

My husband and I are the same. Five years ago our combined yearly income didn't add up to the amount we now pay in taxes every year. I should love Bush for hacking away at the amount I have to pay, but I don't and neither does my husband. It hasn't been that long ago that we were making soup out of packets of Taco Bell hot sauce and eating crackers and relish for lunch because we stole them off the condiment isle.
It's nuts what that man is doing to this country.
As for Monica, the Daily Show brought that up too. Katrina is Bush's Monica -- oh please! Between the troops he sent to die because he wanted to pick a fight with the guy that flipped his middle finger at his daddy and the response to Katrina I figure we'll have more than 50,000 people dead on his watch. Someone should impeach the bastard.
My only hope is the fact that he can't run again.

Your metaphor about the fact that a few people will mistake the safety net for a hammock -- that's a great line. :) I might steal it. :)

Because I don't think he's really in charge. The more I think about it, things make much more sense if you assume Cheney is the one actually calling the shots.
If Bush would just grow some balls and stand up to his handlers, I think things would really improve. Not that he'd necesarily be a great president, but he wouldn't fuck things up so horribly.

Unfortunately we have an entire government of them. And in ten years when the infrastructure crumbles in New Orleans and Mississippi and anywhere else they rebuild, people will scratch their head wonder why and do this same bleeping dance all over again
I don't think blowjobs would help George W. You have to be anatomically correct to get one. I suspect the ole George W. Action figure is more accurate than we suspect. George Sr. put his manhood in a blind trust, we trust George W. blindly.
Katrina has reminded this country that there are poor people and black people here. I just wonder how long our collective concious will remain raised.
No Killing Mudd. Even if that was probably the clearest case of Justifable homicide that I have ever heard of. Remember you live in a very conservative part of the world, they would convict quickly.
