I think I'm having an anxiety attack

[romanticmartyr]

I don't belong in Michigan, certainly not in Monroe. I got talked into going to the bar on Saturday with an old friend from HS, she's has kids now and her husband offered to watch them for one night so I felt bad turning her down when I had nothing to do. We go to Beek's in Monore and it's not bad. Then I look at the TV behind the bar and see that Rehnquist died and I flip out. Oh shit, that crazy religious fanatic Pat Robertson, from the 700 Club, is going to think that God is answering his prayers directly. He was asking for a second seat to open up on the Supreme Court so Bush could place another Conservative Christian. I was getting a little hyper and the girl I was with looks at me and says what the hell happened to you, where you taking shots while I was in the bathroom? What the F*!!!! I quickly responded do you know anything about what this means and if you paid attention to the news at all you'll realize that our country is in trouble. All I could do was grab another beer cause no one there gave a shit.

I wake up this morning to see that Bush has made the "responsible" decision to tap Roberts for Supreme Court Chief Justice. Holy Shit! I was stressed out enough about him being nominated for O'Connor's spot but not Chief Justice. I think it's very disrespectful, the man hasn't been dead that long and Bush jumps to tap Roberts right away before his hearings were going to begin on Tuesday. I thought the hearings would be postponed out of respect for Rehnquist. I hope to God that the Democrats fight this tooth and nail. This man should not be the Chief Justice, he hasn't even been on the damn Supreme Court yet!

Fuck me.
