I - Come on, seat Roland Burris already, it is after all going to happen anyway and probably rightly so but I'm sick of listening to him politically masturbating his own ego proclaiming himself the Illinois junior senator, his wet dream job apparently. Fine, point made, he should shut up now and the media should shut up about it too, undoubtedly he's only a placeholder anyway for another year or so. Jeez, make everybody happy and get this over with finally, move along. Blagojevich, criminal brilliance there with that appointment I must give him credit for, despite his whole weird hair thing which does still raise some concern about his overall mental wellness. II - Really? After ten years of your kid gone missing you decide maybe the time is right now that you might call that in to the authorities, since that eleven-year-old boy disappeared missing person is now of age at twenty-one the time is right to worry finally? Well, he did used to have a tendency to run away as a kid,...

Things that pissed me off today, belated from yesterday. I'm slow to anger sometimes, but it eventually kicks in sooner or later. So Monday, I attempted applying for a job online with GE, one of those six-step application processes. Just after step two, after clicking Next, I was popped up with some message about not meeting the minimum qualifications for the job. For the record, by step two I'd only covered providing my name and address. I guess maybe I don't live in a qualifying neighborhood apparently, getting pretty strict about applicants' whereabouts eligibility. Kind of jumping to conclusions there, in my opinion. Anyway, they had the requisite Contact Us link, so yeah, I clicked on that about it, because I'd rather be poor there in some available crap job than altogether homeless here. Also it just peeved me, so I was thankful for that email customer service option to vent, just asking what was up. This was the response sent back to me. Thank you for your in...

There will be no peace while Hamas controls Gaza. Holy shit, that I learned from some editorial headline I read today. Yeah, stupid me for not remembering how peaceful that neck of the woods before Hamas was handed over the reigns. Democracy in action which, again proving my lunkhead self, I thought was a good thing we were trying to spread around. All righty then, so yeah ... now once again more stupid rigmarole headed up by the arrogant daffy chieftains killing off and maiming other folks just for the sake of bragging rights really, our BFF Israel versus whatever Palestine. Same old story. Way of the world I suppose, particularly over there in that part of it. Give me a break, enough already. Not even going so much back into the forever history of why all the strife, just looking at the now with after a week of blasting and at the moment Israeli troops prepped and ready straight away to head in with boots on the ground, our buds into Gaza, it's all the same old bullshit. Of cours...

Homeland Lesbo Christian Gal Melissa Etheridge and Over-there Straight Muslim Dude Salman Ahmad - Ring The Bells Whose God is God? Whose light is light? Whose law is wrong? Whose might is right? Here we are on the edge, the edge of change. I believe in peace, my only wish. I believe that we can co-exist. Let's go further now than we've ever gone before. Ring the bells, ring the bells of change. Ring the bells, every boy and every girl. Ring the bells, ring the bells of peace all over the world. We've all been called to wake from sleep, To feel our power to create the dream, To step out from the dark past our fathers' fear. Here we stand in unity making one choice to be free. Every truth blends into one as we believe it shall be done. Here we stand as soldiers now, turning our swords into plows. There is not a nobler climb, achieving peace in our own time. I know peace begins with me, with all I feel and with all I see, And I know it's no easy task removing our own f...
