The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

I just had to come back

Rupert Murdoch just figured out that they're giving news away on the internet and he wants a piece of the pie. Of course, as we already know Rupert wants a piece of everybody's pie cause the $755 million News Corp made last quarter isn't quite enough for him.

NOW, Bristol Palin, the child apparently raised by the daughter of Satan (If you believe in that sort of thing) says "Teens should just not have sex"

Yeah, thanks Bristol. This is news to us all. And by the way we already figured out that particular plan does not work. NEXT!

I'm increasingly unhappy today about Obama and his silence on civil rights, marriage rights gay rights, whatever the fuck you want to call them, they're CIVIL RIGHTS!!! They belong to us all.

Of course don't tell Bobby Jindal that, he's all set to sign any bill that the Louisiana legislature sets in front of him that even implies that gay people can be denied civil rights. This civil war should be VERY interesting. I wonder how it will be fought?

And to bring home the concern of the day there's news out of Georgia regarding the death of two women who were married in Toronto in 2007.

"Two women were found dead in their home yesterday morning after a home fire was reported to authorities in rural Statesboro, Georgia, northwest of Savannah. The statesboro herald reports:

After Statesboro firefighters arrived at the scene around 9:45 a.m. and extinguished the flames, they discovered a woman’s body and called police, said Statesboro Police Chief Stan York. Statesboro Police detectives responded and discovered a second woman’s body, he said. Statesboro Police Capt. Scott Brunson, who called the fire 'suspicious,' said the bodies of Naumbyia T. German, 26 (right), and Kiona Lively, 27, who both lived at the residence, were sent to the Georgia Bureau of Investigations Crime lab for testing. Neither Brunson nor Statesboro Fire Chief Dennis Merrifield would comment on the cause of the fire, and Brunson said he would not release additional details, including the cause of death, until crime lab reports were returned. He said he expects the results Thursday or Friday." -towleroad.com



...and we still haven't learned a thing.

Where is the Love

Ok, so we pinned our hopes on our new President and so far I'm still waiting.

Where is the repeal of don't ask don't tell?
Where is the promised expansion of adoption rights?
Where is ENDA?
Where is the Matthew Shepard hate crimes bill?

Hell, where is MY bailout?

He's acted vigorously and "decisively" toward financial institutions who then took our money and paid bonuses to people who did not earn them.

However, he failed to help the middle class in any direct way.

Is sharing the wealth directly with the people a basic tenet of socialism? Well, yes it is. But since we're getting all the shitty parts of socialism let's see some of the benefits!

I'd move to another country in a second, BUT! THEY make it very difficult to do. THEY have tons of requirements that must be met before one can even apply for such a thing. We, on the other hand say, "Oh, Hells yeah. Come on in, and while you're here mow my lawn will ya?" After the lawn is mowed and the kitchen is clean there comes the requisite buyers remorse we Americans are genetically predisposed to.

Gas is on it's way back up AGAIN, we're preparing for memorial day and the annual schtupping we get by the oil companies. Recession or no, they want their due. Can't get by on a measley 36 billion a quarter.

So, I ask you Mr President, WHERE THE FUCK IS MINE?

Where's the job that gynormous stimulus package was supposed to provide? Cause yesterday there were 10 jobs in the entire country available in my profession on the Chronicle for higher education website. And only 3 of those were in my discipline. HOw much competition do you suppose their is for those jobs?

I'm ready Mr. President. I'm still here! George Bush didn't run me off. I'm educated,intelligent,healthy, willing and most able.

Time to step up.

In lieu of an actual reply to weekly my plea for justice in this world a morsel will have to suffice.


Love
