Situation Nowhere, Rush For a Change of Atmosphere
Ok, here is another one of my "political" rants, so bare with me. I assume everyone and their mother's know about the events of yesterday afternoon, a date that will go down in infamy as "the day New Yorkers stomachs dropped for a second (no not a second time, but a second as a measurement of time; ie. 1 mississippi, 1 hippopotomous, etc). I myself was slightly startled when my manager came running into the office saying turn the sound on the tv on, a plance crashed into a building. "Seriously?" I thought as my stomach fell a little, much like it did that morning on September 11, 2001; however, my personal situation was quickly changed once I actually looked to the television to see that it was a small personal aircraft which had crashed into a residential building on the Upper East Side. My mind went quickly from "oh how horrible" to "hey, I should move to the Upper East Side because I know of some apartments that just went on the market at Crazy Eddie low prices". Of course the news did nothing but focus on the accident for the next few hours, with different camera angles, and talking to "witnesses" (I have trouble believing a lot of witnesses in news reports because there have to be at least half of them who are just looking to be on tv and don't really know anything), and of course blasting out speculations of terrorist attacks. Seriously, I don't think the "terrorists" have any targets in the Bel-Aire (the name of the residential building which the plane struck). Then they find out that the plane was registered to a Yankee crap-shack of a pitcher Corey Lidel (I am sorry, but the dude is one of the many reasons we are not seeing the Yankees whallop the A's in the ALS, and he was a terrible pitcher, let's not forget that just because he went out all "Buddy Holly" on us), and this morning I hear that the plane actually let out a distress signal beofre the crash. So what I want to know is, where was the government "defences" that were "put in motion" on "9/11" to stop things from happenning like "planes crashing into buildings"? Oh wait, I forgot, they scrambled millitary jets to fly over all the major US cities, because that makes sence. I really hope I am not the only one questioning this.
Yes, this was a horrible accident, and maybe a dozen people lost their lives (if that), so this is not the type of tragedy to stop work for or anything, but it is something that goes against everything the current administration said they were going to put a stop to since the horrible attacks of 9/11 (which they should have been doing before that). The timing of last nights South Park episode couldn't have been planned more perfectly then if they made the cartoon live. Who crapped in the urinal indeed. And what do you know, this is ANOTHER perfect platform for the Democratic party to rise up and say "HA! You guys are stupid butt faced liars" only with a little more tact to mask the immaturity that politics has become. This event, falling right in the middle of the whole Mark Foley dirty party should be bringing everyone out of the woodworks to go against the dictatorship that this administration has become. Even those Republicans and Third party representatives, who have felt as though they could not speak up for fear of losing their support, should be standing on soap boxes and sticking their heads out their windows to exclaim "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!". Yet they are not. I haven't heard anyone step up to call on the falsity of the "defense" of our country, that couldn't even stop a small plane from flying into the livingrooms of some poor saps on the Upper East Side (what happens when the planes are bigger).
And this whole Foley thing, that's huge, and people are approaching it like they would when they catch their boss doing something that they were recently scolded for doing. They are doing a lot of back talk to everyone around them (which as we all know does nothing), and when they approach anyone who matters on the subject, they turn into stuttering, gutless worms:
"Um, excuse me sir. Did you know that, um, mr...Uh, Foley, Mark Foley...um yeah, uh...he is...um...being inappropriate...with his....um, well...he is not doing what he is, well, supposed to do."
"Is this something I have to deal with right now? I have more important matters right now."
"Oh...um, well...people are um...talking...and well, we would like it if..."
"Look, come back to me when a place hits a building. I could give to shits about this right now."
"Yessir. (to self) Oh man."
The fact that Democrats aren't jumping all over both of these things like flies on shit just goes to show that they are just as stupid as Republicans, but for entirely oposite yet exactly the same reasons.
And Korea has the bomb, yet again, and yet again, we are doing nothing but slapping them on the wrists.
Ok, that's enough out of me on this stuff.

Flint - Incredibly awesome. About as cool as anything can get.
"Having two new entries in Joshspeak to learn is so flint it's making me a little chakode just thinking about it."
Emeff - an act of deprevity and/or perversion. Something that can make even the most steady of people stop and say "What? Eww!"
