Vitriol Espresso "I come in peace. I didn't bring artillery. But I'm pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I'll kill you all." General James Mattis

Drafted the last post. It's still there, but you have to know how to get to it to read it. It is sort of vehement. Not quite the kind of thing I feel every single day. But yeah, I do get angry sometimes. It's usually over in a few minutes, but this time it re-emerged after reading the foul words of a complete sociopath. That kind of thing isn't really me. I find myself feeling sorry for people that have to cut down other people or groups of people in order to make themselves feel popular or wanted. I can dig, I guess. It still sucks, sure. In the end, though, she'll wind up looking back and wondering why she was so horrible while paradise slips through her fingers.

That's sad.

Sometime I should actually write down what my religious beliefs really are. So many people are clueless when it comes to modern gnosticism. And my divinity credentials are just as valid today as when I got them 11 years ago. Can't marry anybody (the state always demands a big chunk of cash for that), but I can still have a ministry. If I want one. Which I don't. Priests these days have it rough. Just look around and you can see how much it must blow monstrous chunks to deal with the modern condition. I shudder just thinkin about it. Wish I could talk to my parents about this kind of thing, but they always get that 'deer in the headlights' look on their faces whenever I begin to speak about anything important to me personally. They love me, they just don't want to know me. Now that I'm older and my parents are growing feeble I can appreciate the cosmic humor in that statement.

Ah well. God knows me. That's what's important, I suppose.

It iced over pretty good today, so I can't do laundry as expected. Which is all good, I suppose, since mom took the day off to wrap Christmas presents. Though it does suggest that the cabin fever will take hold a bit earlier than expected. Still all good. If it snows tomorrow maybe the coming 'inspection' on my apartment complex will be put on hold yet again. Not that my place is horrible or in disprepair, it's not. It's just I don't exactly enjoy having complete strangers parading around in my bedroom. Does that prove I'm not a whore? I do believe it does! :P

C-PAP stuff came today. Yay! Now I can sleep without having air blown into my left eye all night. And a book came. Ghosty is such a bastige. XD I gotta wait to read these, though. They'll make wonderful train reading on vacation! Kind of hoping I'll be able to get more books for the trip back. I'll be a travelling library. Sending books back to myself is easy, though, and makes the trip back a little lighter.

Sooo bored. Winter sucks so hard when it's too icy/snowy/cold to do anything. Except read the news and play games. And maybe clean a dirty cat box. Blago has everyone over a barrel in Chicago and Washington. If he doesn't step down voluntarily they'll have to impeach him (in their cute Chi-town way). Which means all the corruption comes out onto the public forum. So you can see them practically begging on bent knees for him to resign quietly and take his dirty little secrets with him. It's funny. Even the teflon Obama team is giving concessions. I hope the slimy little twunt stays slimy and doesn't resign.

Meh.

For people who think that Republicans like myself are gnashing at the teeth and standing on the edge of the paranoia abyss waiting for Obama and his cohorts to make mistakes. Those people who are still harping on and on about Sarah Palin and Carl Rove, you know? Here's my final response to your shouts of vitriol assuming that I am going insane in puffy clouds of vehemence at the vacuous 'Left Wing Conspiracy.'

Fuck off. I really just don't give a shit. Republicans will always win. Why? Because Democrats are completely off the mark and will forever return to conservative roots to keep things from going completely socialist. Socialists don't make money unless they're in the elite, remember. And most liberals in Washington only make money from investments and lobbyists. Have you seen the people that Obama has picked for his cabinet?

Blgojevich is in MY state. People in MY state know this corruption has been happening for more than one generation and in more than one party. Why do you continually say that Republicans are excited to see a Democrat finally get what he deserves? Obama got the presidency. Can you not be happy with that and stop with the fingerpointing and baseless accusations? Get over yourselves. There's bigger things to be concerned about now. Obama is wearing a teflon suit now that he's in the oval office so stop with your crybaby bullshit.

In short: Grow the fuck up and learn how to run a country, assholes. Bush had to put up with a lot of shit from you douchebags. Perhaps now you can finally understand our point of view, huh? Deal with it.

Israel is gearing up to irradiate Iran. Pakistan and India are ready to toss the lances across borders. Afghanistan is still a cesspool of ignorance via the oh-so-gay Taliban. Iraq is /still/ killing Christians. As is Egypt and Jordan. Those calling themselves Palestinian continually whine over a state they never had and lob rockets into Israel with very little punishment for doing so. Russia and Georgia are still squaring off. The Netherlands is exploding with Eid fever, mostly to the tune of property damage.

All of these things freely available on media news outlets on the internet. Don't bother watching CNN or MSNBC because you won't see any of this on there. You won't even read it on AP or Reuters. The crooked media is finally getting rid of any semblance of journalistic integrity. No, you will have to read it from foreign news outlets and hope beyond hope that they are accurate. So far the only thing they aren't reporting is what's happening in the US.

If you don't see the irony in the above two paragraphs, you must be aesthetically blind.

So I was going through a painful day today, limping my way through the Dollar store and their unbelievably huge amounts of cheap crap in one giant store, picking up some of the necessary things without paying top dollar at wally world. It's a monthly thing. Dish soap, kitty litter, toilet paper, etcetera. All this stuff is cheaper here and makes the store a favorite for me without having to pay an arm and a leg.

While bargain hunting I stopped to take a look at a neato christmas toy in the 'out-of-date-christian-dvd-and-music-bargain-bin'. It was just a stupid thing. An $18 MP3 player grouped together with an eight piece off-brand bargain speaker set. I kid you not, they had this AAA battery run player attached to a set of speakers that little battery couldn't support for more than a couple of minutes. Ain't white trash great? Anyway, I was playing around looking at the MP3 player (cuz for it's size, cheap make, and capability the price was suprisingly right) when an old lady came up to me and told me that someone my age shouldn't be messing around with that kind of thing.

"My age?" I said, somewhat incredulously. Because someone my age is precisely who these items were packaged to interest.

Stodgy blue-hair sniffs and looks down her nose at....my stomach, I guess, she was kind of short. "What are you, Thirty? Thirty-Five? Grow up, young lady!"

To which I blinked furiously. "What? I'm forty-one! I'd have to grow DOWN!"

Blue-hair finally looks me in the eyes and wrinkles up her already fairly wrinkled forehead. "Liar." Then mumbles as she shuffles off to purchase her kleenex and detergent, "Kids today. Liars, all of them. Why, in my day..."

Am I childish? I'd have to give an automatic 'yes.' Thanks, blue-haired lady! Suddenly this sore leg doesn't seem quite so sore...

Harry Reid says so. You know, the pompous asshole scarecrow standing next to Nancy 'Let Them Eat Cake' Pelosi in every congressional picture for the last three years? Check this out.

Reid: We won't smell the tourists anymore

Anybody still want this elitist prick on the Hill? The Democrats say they're representing the common person, watching out for the poor and downtrodden. But God forbid they smell them.

Pompous douchebag.

Dow index down almost 700 points. For those not paying attention that brings it mighty close to 8000. Depression, anyone? Looks like Hopey McChange will be starting his administration on a shitty note. And if anybody were paying attention, the striking realization that Democrats were to blame for this mess from back in the Carter and Clinton administrations should offer some clue as to what's going to happen next.

Please keep in mind that nothing will bottom out until everyone begins to sell at the same time. You can bet Mr. McChange will step in and make more imaginary money to stave off the bleed. This also gives our overly liberal (read: Marxist) majority the clout to dissolve the republic. They're already sending 20k troops into the US to handle 'emergencies.' One tends to wonder what kind of emergencies this contingency is supposed to handle. Terrorist activities don't happen in 90% of the nation, you know?

Blah. Conspiracy theories are stupid. Let's just watch and see what happens, shall we? Maybe I'll go back to football gambling to pass the time.
