It's 2:14 in the fucking A - M.
A-G-A-I-N.
But, unless I grab up a tent and hit the great outdoors, my ass will be up for two hours, minimum. The farm equipment started on schedule this morning (odd to call it morning when it is pitch black outside and the local news still isn't on), but morning it is. And, I've been to Iceland during the winter, on several occasions, so I know what it feels like to - literally - never see the sun.
However, today is a holiday for we weenie Americanos. This would be Memorial Day. It was intended to honour those souls that have died during the wars we fought for our freedom and for the freedom of others. And let's get this clear, Iraq is not one of those wars. Iraq was simply a gold-mine of big dollars for a very elite few that has put us in the crosshairs of just about everyone in the world, except maybe the Jews.
Nice. Thanks. Not like we needed any help.
I watched Ron Paul on Bill Maher/Real Time last night. Finally, a "Republican", who is barking (somewhat loudly I may add), against the war. This better not be a voting trick! If he becomes the Republican candidate, I may vote for him because compared to the bickering Democrats and the fact that the front runners are a woman and a black man (of whom idiots are accusing of being an "evil" Muslim), I think Paul would have a stronger shot. I have nothing against women or blacks, it's just that I'm not so naive as to think Americans are ready for either in the White House and the two will divide the country to our detriment. I mean, a country that still has anti-abortion groups and the KKK, cannot handle either in the White House. I do think that Edwards has a chance for the Democratic nod, but until Gore steps in and takes the vote on a landslide, we're fucked more ways than a Dutch hooker.
Maher had some great comments about the Democrats. He brought up the pussy-last-minute-sorry-to-be-so-politically-incorrect comments made by Carter. First, Carter - carte blanc - came out and said, "Bush is the worst president in history", then (once the neo-cons started crying and whining) he backed down like a Mike Vick dog in the ring. Yeah, Jimmy, it's OK to have a backbone, especially when you've been there, done that, AND you've got one foot on a banana peel and one foot on the grave. Trust me, there ain't a whole lotta damage control you should have to worry about.
Speaking of damage control, the really tall one in this picture
... is the (ex) son-in-law of the Mayor that I have supported for so long. Or should I say, "support-ed". He was just busted as one very messy coke smuggler and now they are investigating the daughter of the Mayor for money laundering. Now, if your husband has a legitimate business and brings home $35 million in a week - lucky you. If that happens to be drug money and you say you don't know about it, you are simply a liar. I know. I used to live with serious coke dealers that I wasn't even married to, and I certainly knew what they were doing and how we got the money we had.
And while we're on the subject of Michael Vick. He's a punk and should be tied up, stripped of his skivvies, and put in the ring with one of those pit bills. And guess what, folks, this isn't a black/white thing. If he gets busted and dogs were used to kill each other for idiots to have some "yeee-haw-time", I say fuck him up, regardless of he was white, orange, purple or all of the above. Yeah, I'm in a good mood already and it's a fucking holiday.
What does one do on a holiday? HMMMMM, me thinks, at least I don't have to go to that boring ass job, but I probably will anyway only so I have time to run to the vampire and take the farm equipment in for an overhaul.
No rain. Never. I'm really not a pessimist, but they really are saying no rain. As some would say, "Great, at least I don't have to cut the grass", well, no water means, "no life". Girlfriend and I had a long, funny debate about this last night considering she lives in the actual desert and we're becoming one. But, THERE IS NO GLOBAL WARMING, CHILDREN. Ha. I think that was a polar bear going after the cat food this morning.
But, on the brighter side, David Matthews is going to play Piedmont Park on Sept. 8th. Normally, when he comes to Atlanta, he plays venues that only allow a certain few and to get these tickets you need a Louisville Slugger, a bad attitude, and the patience of Job to get in line about 5 weeks early. I've never been able to do that. However, I don't see how they are going to limit the number of people to a public park. That being said, it should be a cool show. Hell, I'd watch it - even if those ComCast pirates asked for pay-for-view. Can you imagine the nightmare those folks in Midtown will have it if they are NOT Matthews fans? At least it will be on a Saturday.
Enough for now. I have to check on Bubba. He looked a bit more spry yesterday, but this morning, he's looking a bit cheeky. Maybe it's just too early for him to get up, also.
