I’ve been trading barbs on the Journal Star opinion forum about Global Warming with a right wing-nut who continues to spew about how it’s all a hoax dreamed up by Al Gore. He refuses to understand the glaciers are almost all gone, the polar ice cap is disappearing at an alarming rate, etc. etc. He just wants to quote the junk science bought and paid for by the corporate owned think-tanks who have a very vested interest in maintaining the status quo. They have made a fortune by pillaging the planet. It astounds me how so many people can be so damned willfully ignorant!
On another blog there is a thread about Wal-mart. I didn’t get into it there because I hate to use somebody else’s blog to preach, but it is insane to praise Wal-mart for “providing jobs” when they have been the largest single corporation in the country for destroying good jobs. They are the largest employer in many states and in many states their employees qualify for city, state, and federal aid. Imagine that ... taxpayers subsidizing Wal-mart by feeding Wal-mart employees because they don’t make enough money to feed themselves. And forget about benefits of any kind. And not to mention all the cheap Chinese crap they sell for the same price as the quality American goods they put out of business.
Some days I get so exasperated with my fellow man I just don’t know what to do with myself. I know it does no good to yell at them but I sure wish there was a way to educate people. I fear the conservative grip is too tight. We now have grown adults raising their hands for permission to go pee.
Uck! I think I just threw up a little bit in the back of my throat! I get that reaction every time I see on TV or read the headline on some Internets news site about
“Man is Pregnant”. Ack! It just happened again! It is NOT a man, it is a woman who had her boobs and hair chopped off and took enough testosterone to grow a couple whiskers. What the heck is going on with this country when a disfigured pregnant woman is front page news across the country! Last night the jerk on CNN was calling Oprah names for having her / it on the show and lamenting that the media was making an issue of this oddity. Hello!!?? What the heck was the idiot from CNN doing if not the same thing as Oprah? Circus side show material masquerading as news. Blurp!!
Getting Your Affairs in Order A woman went to her doctor. The doctor, after an examination, sighed and said, “I’ve some bad news. You have cancer, and you’d best put your affairs in order.”
The woman was shocked, but managed to compose herself and walk into the waiting room where her daughter had been waiting. “Well daughter, we women celebrate when things are good, and we celebrate when things don’t go so well. In this case, things aren’t well. I have cancer. Let’s head to the club and have a martini”
After 3 or 4 martinis, the two were feeling a little less somber. There were some laughs and more martinis. They were eventually approached by some of the woman’s old friends, who were curious as to what the two were celebrating. The woman told her friends they were drinking to her impending end. “I’ve been diagnosed with AIDS.” The friends were aghast and gave the woman their condolences.
After the friends left, the woman’s daughter leaned over and whispered, “Momma, I thought you said you were dying of cancer, and you just told your friends you were dying of AIDS.”
The woman said, “I don’t want any of those bitches sleeping with your father after I’m gone.”
