Goddamn Politicians

Why can't they just all grow up. I'm talking of the politicians and world leaders of today. Seriously. I just want to slap them and say what the hell are you doing? Take a look at yourselves and your behavior. What are the lessons we teach our children? We teach them to do what is right and, most pertinently, WE TEACH THEM THAT TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE A RIGHT!

And, to the Republicans on Capitol Hill, do you really not think we know what you are doing? You can't get your way so no one will? Didn't you take an oath to serve the people? To do what is right for this country? Are you really telling me that blocking anyone from doing something and just refusing to do anything, anything at all, is not EXACTLY THE SAME AS A TEMPER TANTRUM FROM A 5-YEAR-OLD. I swear, their bottom lips are even starting to stick out. And a couple of weeks ago, with that one guy, I saw foot stomping.

So, you lost. Get over it. Do what is right. Do your job. Do something. Just stop being a bunch of nincompoop whiny babies.

Sorry it's been so long but...

Please, do not let the morons keep hold of this country any longer. Please.

Please.

That's all I have to say for now.

On the one who should not be the next vice-president

She's a book burner.

On top of everything else she is a book burner.

There are no words.

Tonight on the Olympics...

Men's gymanstics...
I kind of want China to win. So many people will be so happy. It's really important to them.
And those poor guys, if they don't do well... I hope China wins. USA for the silver, especially
since they are such the underdogs, love the underdogs. But they should not be allowed
to speak on air, at least not the one who keeps shouting 'USA', because he is really cute
otherwise.

Swimming...
I love the Phelps, who doesn't. Watching him swim, it's a thing of beauty. Absolutely
stunning. I love to watch swimming (good thing since I was a pool lifeguard for many
years, Baywatch suit and all) but I have never seen anything like the Phelps.

It is kind of funny now though because I realized he looks a lot like this guy I used to have 'daliances with', I call him 'the boy'. And it makes me laugh. I do have to say 'the boy' was better looking but he did not have that godlike body. Oh no.

Just realized that I have revealed an awful lot of myself in this here post. Interesting. I should probably get going then.

Notes on the Olympics

So, I'm watching the Olympics. It's somewhat of a return for me. I haven't watched the Olympics in years. I was even in Australia during the 2000 games and I hid in the outback. But when I was a kid I loved the Olympics, my dream was to be a luger. Not just because it is one of the coolest sports in the world but because America really sucked at the luge when I was a kid and it was the one Olympic sport that most of the athletes didn't even start until they were over 18. I figured I had a shot. I was wrong. Still haven't luged yet, but I will, one day.

I figured that the Opening Ceremonies would be huge, seeing how it was being put on by China, a communist country (and we know they know how to put on a publicity show) as well as the country that invented fireworks. I was right. It was spectacular although I do feel that all of the elements could have been shortened by at least two-thirds. But that's just me.

Another delightful benefit of the opening ceremonies... the flag bearer from England. All I have to say is all you English boys that I have loved and lost... screw you, you have been replaced by my love of Mark Foster. Wow, is he a good-looking English boy (man). He's probably posh though. Well, he doesn't need to talk so that's fine.

So, really, I've been sucked in by the promise of seeing gorgeous attractive men. It's petty and immature and not very intelligent but I'm going to keep watching. Especially the swimmers.

Alright I need to go before this gets dirty.

Wow, I didn't realize that I hadn't garnished the world with my fabulous witicisms in over a month. Sorry.

Anyways, I occasionally watch the Girls Next Door, I mean who doesn't. But isn't it a little inappropriate for a woman in her mid-to-late 30's (i.e. Bridget) to have her entire bedroom decorated in hot pink.

Maybe a soft pink, maybe, but definitely not hot pink.

And the new Brita filter ads are brilliant. 'Drink responsibly' (i.e. don't drink bottled water). I love it. Conservation is just starting to make sense, isn't it. Even to the masses.

The Latest News

It's been awhile. I know. I have been away.

So, what's new? Well, I have just discovered a brand new food stuck comonly known as the chickpea (aka the garbanzo bean) and I am in love. It has a buttery flavor that surprises the palate. Plus, it fufills all the requirements... it's cheap, storable for long periods in my cupboard, able to be cooked in one point with no more than three additional ingredients (can not handle more than that), healthy, and, of course, something I am actually able to cook. Needless to say, there are not many foods that fulfill these stringent requirements so any new addition is always celebrated with glee.

What else... Barack did it. And, it looks like the environment might actually be a factor in this election. That's a promising bit of hope. Another bit of hope, my mother is no longer drinking bottled water because, and I quote (please imagine in a slight Chicago accent but please do not ever mention this to her, for your own sake), 'I realized that's a lot of plastic I generate.' She mentioned the cancer thing too but of course 'they're always saying things like that'. My stepdad (aka world's coolest man aka if everone could be like him the world would be such a wonderful place although my mother would have to be institutionalized for having been driven insane) actually went kayaking with me and even tried to get us into some wetlands. It was very sweet and I'll be honest, no one in my family has ever taken any interest in anything environmental, ever. They aren't bad people or horrific consumers (not this side at least) they just are hard-working midwesterners with more important things to worry about. So, yeah, I just got back from a family reunion. Hadn't seen my family in years. Good times were had I do have to say. I didn't even cry, not once. And, I think I am my aunt's hero for telling my mom to quit complaining.

So, I guess you could say I'm feeling pretty good. Maybe it's because I haven't watched the news in about 3 weeks so I have nothing to be pissed off about. I don't know. But the vitriol has subsided, at least for a little while. And, if I might add, none too soon. I was starting to get ornery.

What else, fuel prices, I guess. The story is getting old though. It will be news again if the prices don't rise.

Oh, I saw Richard Simmons. He was on the second leg of my three-plane ride, 'I'm not even going to tell you how many hours long but I am still tired a week later' ordeal to get home from the family reunion. Mr. Simmons was sitting in first-class. Unmistakeable in his red tank top and curly 'what Donald Trump wishes he had' hair. I couldn't tell you about the shorts because he was sitting in the window-seat so I could not get a look. He has aged since the torturous gym classes of my middle school years and his hair has thinned a bit (yes, it is real), but he's looking good. He was very smiley but not in a creepy way, in a happy nice kind of way.

No, I did not talk to him.

I have decided that World of Warcraft is definitely evil. And I am one of the lucky few who has had basically no experience of it at all. Just what I overhear and... it is evil. I am glad that no one reads this because otherwise I would probably be hunted down and killed for what I have just said. But the truth must be spoken.

And I am not talking about baseball. I just can't. It's too painful.
