Zimmerman...why...
Why would they pour salt into a Blood Eagle? Can that kind of pain really be exacerbated?
I'm thinking about this but wish I didn't have to:
A Country Founded by Geniuses but Run by Idiots
(Attributed to Jeff Foxworthy...but snopes says "False")
If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for entering and remaining in the country illegally — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you MUST show your identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book and rent a video, but not to vote for who runs the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If the government wants to prevent stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines that hold more than ten rounds, but gives twenty F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If, in the nation’s largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not one 24-ounce soda, because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If an 80-year-old woman or a three-year-old girl who is confined to a wheelchair can be strip-searched by the TSA at the airport, but a woman in a burka or a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If a seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is “cute,” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government regulation and intrusion, while not working is rewarded with Food Stamps, WIC checks, Medicaid benefits, subsidized housing, and free cell phones — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If the government’s plan for getting people back to work is to provide incentives for not working, by granting 99 weeks of unemployment checks, without any requirement to prove that gainful employment was diligently sought, but couldn’t be found — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big-screen TV, while your neighbor buys iPhones, time shares, a wall-sized do-it-all plasma screen TV and new cars, and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
I am thinking that today is going to turn out dreadful or amazing.
I'm thinking about praying to all the gods out there, just in case there is one, for my dog to get better and for me to get my first night of decent sleep in a week. I have been sooo tired!
I am thinking that today was good. After reading what Helga was thinking I am also hoping that her dog gets better :(
modern science does the trick
I'm thinking of taking it really easy now...deservedly!
I'm hungry.
I never realized how much I love roller-coasters.
So long as each day I can listen to U2, meditate, go for a walk and read a little of a great book I count myself a contented man. Torture me the other 21 hours of the day, confine to me a cage, whatever, as long as those four basic objectives are met the rest doesn't matter.
I'm thinking I really need a haircut, I'll try to get one tomorrow and after that go pick up my paycheck at my last workplace.
This. Attachment 8835
I just realized my actual first and middle names can be together translated literally as "Prince of Darkness." My last girlfriend mused that I might have been either an angel or the devil himself in disguise, but at our last communication had settled on the latter. LOL.
I guess I got a good sobriquet should I ever become a fighter, a porn-star or a super-villain.
