Okay, check this shit out. I just watched a video that Amusing Bunni took of the Presidential Motorcade in Chicago and counted at least 30 vehicles.
So much for global warming, huh?

Now I'm pissed
SAN FRANCISCO – A federal judge overturned California's gay-marriage ban Wednesday in a landmark case that could eventually force the U.S. Supreme Court to confront the question of whether same-sex couples have a constitutional right to wed.
Okay, check this shit out.
I could really give a flying fuck less about this issue. Seriously. It does not affect me one way or another.
I can understand some of the issues that gay couples present, and I can understand some of the issues that opponents present.
But what pisses me off about this issue is that it was decided by the VOTERS, the CITIZENS of Kalifornia, and then some motherfucker in a black robe decided that they were wrong.
It was the PEOPLE that made the law.
So much for your vote counting, right?

National Night Out
Tonight is National Night Out, you know, where all the neighbors get together and meet each other, talk about their fear of crime and how they can prevent it with a Neighborhood Watch program.
Fuck that.
My neighborhood is having a kegger. Not only that, but we're doing it at a park in another neighborhood.
A bird don't shit in it's own nest, ya know.

Why doesn't this surprise me?
Republicans are seizing on an internal memo they say is further evidence the Obama administration wants to bypass a gridlocked Congress and use its executive powers to grant “back-door amnesty” to thousands of illegal immigrants. But administration officials tried to downplay the significance of the draft memo Friday, reiterating that they have no plans to grant permanent residency to the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants living in the U.S.
Written by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officials to the agency’s director, the memo discusses ways the administration – facing the reality that immigration reform is all but dead this year – could grant illegal immigrants permanent status, including indefinitely delaying deportation or issuing green cards.
“This memorandum offers administrative relief options to promote family unity, foster economic growth, achieve significant process improvements and reduce the threat of removal for certain individuals present in the United States without authorization,” states the memo, which was addressed to Director Alejandro N. Mayorkas. “In the absence of comprehensive immigration reform, USCIS can extend benefits and/or protections to many individuals and groups by issuing new guidance and regulations.”
The 11-page memo provides fresh ammunition to Republican lawmakers who have been questioning the administration for the past month about rumors of a plan allowing illegal immigrants to remain in the country.
“The document provides an additional basis for our concerns that the administration will go to great lengths to circumvent Congress and unilaterally execute a back-door amnesty plan,” Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, the top Republican on the Finance Committee, said in a statement.

Miss Sarah speaks
Sarah Palin about Arizona governor Jan Brewer, who is appealing the AZ immigration bill injunction:
“Jan Brewer, bless her heart, she is going to do all that she can to continue down the litigation path to allow secure borders, because she’s — Jan Brewer has the cojones that our president does not have to look out for all Americans, not just Arizonans, but all Americans in this desire of ours to secure our borders and allow legal immigration to help build this country as was the purpose of immigration laws. If our own president will not enforce a federal law, more power to Jan Brewer and 44 other states who are in line to help support Jan Brewer in state laws, state efforts to do what our president won’t do.”

Yeah, I know it's all asshole and balls but that's the only view I ever get. Either he's checking shit out on the street or he's checking shit out in the alley.
Bud
I had a piss-poor week last week.
Sunday, I found out that the mother of a close family friend had died. So Tuesday, I went to Granny Elsie's funeral.
Wedneday, I went to work. All day I was feeling like dogshit warmed over and served on a paper plate. I was up and down all night, later realizing I was passing a stone.
Thursday, I overslept by an hour and a half so I said fuck it, I'll stay home and finish pissing out this rock. It was out by 3 PM.
Friday, I went to work and got a text from mom that Grandpa Bud was trying to die again, they were turning off his life support and I needed to get there NOW.
I left work and went to the hospital, said my last goodbyes and watched them turn off the machines. They said it could be a few minutes or a few days.
Two hours later, I'm helping to bathe him, shaving him changing his fucking drawers (not a memory I need) and getting him ready for everybody else to say their goodbyes. While I'm doing that, he's chattering away. Not bad for a dead man.
Tonight I hear that the nurses are tired of his complaining, bitching and whining, not to mention the fact that somebody (Hmmmmm, I wonder who..... Thanks Lula and Hubbs, for reminding me) gave him a bottle of whiskey to "ease his pain", so they're kicking his ass out to die at home.
As usual, he's doing a poor job of dying.
He's still alive.

Okay, scratch a couple.
I'm sorry, I should've made it clear that the post below isn't just one woman, it's a compilation of the last few I've seen.
Shit, even I'm not desperate enough to date somebody with all those redeeming qualities.

Scratch another one
Hey, what's the deal with babes wanting to have "full disclosure" (no shit, she actually used that term) about your personal life? I can understand honesty and trust once you've even started thinking about starting a relationship - trust and honesty are THE most important parts of a relationship - but why in the fuck does she want to know about what I was up to 25 years ago?
Like I could remember all the shit I was up to 25 years ago. Those were the drug years. Same thing with 35 years ago, same thing with 15 years ago.
Hey Sweetie, we got to know about each other during our first few dates. Our childhood, then a few delicious secrets to feel each other out.
I copped to the fact that I'm an ex-dope fiend and so did you.
I told you that there were nights and weekends that I won't be around due to my hobbies, but you were absolutely more than welcome to come if you wanted. I'd love to have a lady friend that enjoyed to fish and shoot.
I told you that I was the kind of guy that needed time to myself occasionally and I'd be more than happy to give you yours.
I told you I have no criminal record other than misdeanor possession and a DUI from over 25 years ago.
We know each others' relationship history and you know what? I don't care that you missed telling me about a one night stand or two. Why? Because I did the same thing to you.
You know my middle name although I have absolutely no idea why that was a big deal. I could really give a fuck less what yours is.
You know where I work, what I do and what my hours are. Fair enough, I asked you first.
But why in the fuck do you feel you have to know:
How old I was when I popped my cherry? Why is this important? I'm 51 now and I've been laid since.
What was her name? I mean, I've wondered that myself but how do you explain that?
How many times have I been in love? What difference does it make - I ain't in love now and there's a reason..
What's my home phone number? Okay, I admit that this is weird sounding but I have no idea what it is. I only have a home phone for the internet. I usually have the ringer off and the speaker down. I don't use the motherfucker. You need to talk, call my cell. I'll return your call when I can.
The name of every woman I have slept with in my entire life? Are you fucking kidding me? I can give you some names (all fake) quite a few addresses only and an occasional city.
Did my father beat me? Fuck yeah he did. But not nearly enough in my opinion, even back then.
Am I the kind of guy that would give his life for somebody he loves? Not if you keep asking me stupid fucking questions.
How many times have I been arrested? What, in my entire life? And we're talking about arrests without indictments, right?
If I were to come face to face with my ex tomorrow, what would I do? Probably say "Hey, how ya been?" We'd go from there, but she'd know about you right out the gate. And yes, you would know every detail.
Why do we have to drive past every house I've lived in here in the area. What the fuck are you trying to do, establish a pattern? I've moved up.
Is that the bed you shared with your ex? I've been apart from my ex for 3 long years. Same headboard, different mattress.
What time do you leave the house in the morning and what time do you get back? Before dawn and usually before dusk in the summer.
How often do you visit your parents? It depends on how long I can get away without doing it.
How many jobs have you had? Makes no difference, I've been at this one for 19 years.
Do you have a problem spending time with my children and grandchildren? What, you have kids at and grandkids at your age? I thought you were a virgin..... Give me a fucking break. Do I have a choice if we're dating? Who know, I may even like the little bastards.
Why doesn't my dog like you? You know, I've been wondering that very same thing myself....
Bottom line is this: I don't mind giving up bullshit information to get to know each other but check this shit out:
We'll find out more and more information about each other as we progress.
But ya gotta know there's things about me that you're never gonna find out about. Some of the shit I don't want you to find out, some of the shit I don't want to think about, but most of it is shit that don't apply anymore.
And the same thing goes for you - I'm sure there are things that you don't want to expose. Hey, I'm cool with that. Fuck, I probably don't want to know.
But you know what? I don't fucking care.
