1.) The whole immigration thing is bullshit.
Personally I think it sucks sheep nuts that if I go to Mexico I'm pretty much shit out of luck in as far as having the locals kiss my lily WASP English speaking ass providing free medical care (and by the way, ensuring that the medical staff is culturally competent and able to speak to me in my native language), teaching my children in the language/culture that is "indigenous" to them, etc ad nauseum. I wouldn't expect to go to any other country (illegally no less) and DEMAND that everyone accomodate me. Apparently there are a lot of global narcissists and they all flock here.
2.) Why, if there is something remotely ethnic going on in the world does Jesse Jackson feel compelled to go and offer his two cents worth?
Who the hell cares? The pot at the end of that Rainbow Coalition has nothing but a turd in it and ol' Jesse is standing there laughing his ass off stirring up a storm.
3.) Restructuring (referencing work) simply means that you are about to get screwed.
How deeply and vigorously and with how much lube (or without) is entirely dependent on where you are in the cliched food chain and/or how much you are willing to swallow rather than spit.
4.) The sense of entitlement that exists... um.. this is America... home of capitalism.
Your existence is entirely dependent on: the determination you have to get where you want to go and/or the ability you possess to get there. You are not "entitled" to shit on this earth and in your lifetime except death, taxes and working your ass off to maintain the status quo or get where you want to go. That's it. Illegal immigrants don't want to work? Okay with me. How about all of the yahoo's on welfare that are perfectly able to work but just sitting on their ass collecting a check? "It's tooooo harrrrddd..." Welfare check giver: "Well sweetpuss, you want the check, better start pickin'..." Yup.. that's work-- 4 letters and it sucks. It also sucks for the remainder of us that are out there in the workforce putting up with various quanitities other people's shit to provide for that check that you're opening while eating corn doodles wearing pink fuzzy slippers and watching Montel Williams, Oprah or Jerry Springer.
5.) What the hell has happened to accountability?
Why are we excusing behavior ("Well... this and such happened and that caused them to do whatever...")? Teach your children responsibility and accountability... then actually lead by example. It IS okay to say NO when applicable.
6.) The "no child left behind" law is idiotic.
If kids can't perform the fundamental concepts that are/should be taught in school their ass NEEDS to be left behind. Why does everyone have to be successful? If you screw up, you fail... rinse and repeat until they LEARN and are indeed successful. That is called: LIFE (not the game but the "reality show" you're actually involved in). No shit... 7th grader spelled "treated" as "TREEDED;" saw it myself on the "braggin' right's board." I would be embarrassed not elated if that was my son. Which leads me to...
7.) Phonetics is bullshit too. Enuf sayed.
8 ) Why does anyone remotely even give a shit about Pat Robertson, the meterologist? If some asshat on the street "hears God" talking to them we think about committing their ass and dosing with strong psychotropics-- why should ol' Pat be any different? Load him up on Thorazine, place the nice white jacket on and lead him to the "soft" cell for some "quiet time."
Celebrity Shit... not that I care but because I can...
11.) Jessica or Nick?
I feel for Nick personally. I think Jessica's Dad is the main issue and probably believes in the old mantra, "Incest is best." Run Jessica! I also think Jessica is pretty but none-the-less a dolt. I don't think she's hiding her intelligence since that would be giving her credit for having some in the first place.
12.) Britney and Kevin?
I feel sorry for Britney. It would be extraordinarily difficult to have your entire life examined under a micron lens-- and especially when you're married to some cocksore hosebag like K-Fed.
13.) Denise or Heather?
This one is tricky... I think that there's more going on than either is really telling (court papers or not). Heather was probably bumpin' warm fuzzies with David Spade while married to Richie. Denise and Charlie...(Charlie is a complete asshat with or without the legal papers that support it)... Denise and Richie have probably been havin' at it while Charlie is out gamblin' on which ho to scrump. So it's kinda a "Desparate Hollywood Wives" thing happenin in my humble opinion.
14.) The weather this spring is completely messed up... we must've had gale force winds all day today while the temps were in the high 70's. Kinda like being in a convection oven set on "LOW."
15.) Employee bruhaha Saturday. It's about as exciting as watching socks dry personally. You get suck up points for seeing the VP's walk around in their "casual" clothes that cost wayyy more than anything I've ever spent in the Walmart couture line.
16.) I think we've lost a goodly portion of what common sense (as a society) that we once had... hell using the same mentality of the present day everyone one of us could file a complaint against our parents for abuse. Who didn't get their butt whooped? Who got roller skates with actual metal wheels and a key that we wore around our necks (which by the way, ya'll remember asking whoever had a bike to drag you around behind them)? Who used to iron clothes, light lamps (or anything electric at the time) with those fabric cords... no one traded them out when the fabric got thinned and frayed. There are a bunch more... staying outside and not checking in with either parent until dark (that's when you were supposed to come in) for one. You've probably got several yourself that you can list. Apparently by todays' standards, we're all lucky to be alive... wonder what the statute of limitations is (and I know that the statute of limitations on my mother getting a switch and whippin' my ass has not expired.. so I ain't sayin' shit to DHR/CPS! LOL)? When did we lose common sense?
17.) Hoffa: He hasn't been heard from in 20-30 years. Kids he's probably not coming back. In which case, he's probably dead, buried and taking the eternal dirt nap. Does anyone TRULY give a shit where his ass is planted? The whole diggin' up half of Michigan to find his fucking jawbone is stupid. What's more idiotic is that we're paying tax dollars for something that Geraldo Rivera would do in a prime time special for "free" or at least on pay-per-view.
18.) Lastly: as dangerous as firecrackers are... wonder WHY there are NO directions on them (except in Chinese if you're lucky)? Just something to make you go, "Hmmm."
What ya'll been up to (other than not ending your sentences in a preposition)? ;)
