rumsfeld says that he's going to save 5 billion a year by closing military bases around the country. congress just passed an "emergency" spending bill (not officially part of the budget) to finance the wars on iraq and afghanistan. talk about supporting our troops. let me just clarify... though i think the commander in chief and his warmongering cronies are a bunch of spineless thugs willing to put others' lives on the line in order to further their own selfish ends, i have nothing against individual soldiers. i don't hold being in the military against anyone. i'm not going to fight a war (now, a revolution... hmm), so i respect that they're willing to do so. i must say that uprooting families and putting people out of work (civillians too) is hardly to be considered "supporting our armed forces" as those assholes are so fond of declaring.
what really pisses me off is that republikkkans can deficit spend till the cows come home, but let them cut five bucks out of the budget at the expense ofthe citizens, let them cut taxes to increase the growth of our deficit, let them firebomb a pork project sponsored by some demokkkrat, and suddenly, they're financial wizards leading this country in the right fiscal direction.

i threw up at work today, presumably from hangover stomach. that hasn't happened in a long time, and i'm not proud of it. i'm blaming my first boilermaker (a fine drink for the stouthearted, but a wee bit scary...) and the other ten or so beers. actually, i blame the chicken, cheese and bacon biscuit i bought at quiktrip this morning. after that, my day was swell. i didn't eat anything for the rest of the workday, so needless to say, unloading a container of spanish wine was fun.

sorry i haven't written recently, oh my (6) readers, but i wrote some jokes, some sketches, and some other shit in the interim.

fuck bush.
