OK, so I couldn’t rub out an appropriate post title-so sue me.
I know it’s been awhile since I posted but contrary to popular belief, I do have a life.
Of course it’d be a lot less stressful without family crap always popping up or this election years political circus we see play out online, in the papers and n the tube.
It’s all so “High School” popularity contest like. One says this about the other, the other counters with some other such bullshit. The contest that is the most unsettling, is the Democratic one. First contestant is Obama, not only does he not have the experience to run the country, he says little about his policies, except he wants to “raise taxes on the wealthy and pay for health care for “everyone”. His figures Do Not support that. His taxes would start with those earning $31,000 a year. That is NOT wealthy. Whomever is his financial advisor needs to be smacked, if they’ve come up with this and smacked even harder if Obama has and they let it go as an ok policy. The man has No Clue what wealthy is, obviously.
Then you have his minister, Rev. Wright, who not only hates America-that’s the place giving him the freedom to spew forth his hate and lies- but he also believes we killed our own on 9-11, our Govt. started AIDS to kill the black people, and Jews are bad. Obama sat in this man, his “Spiritual Advisors” pews for 20 years. Yes I said 20 YEARS, yet he says at first he never heard such talk, then he said he did hear a bit, then he said he didn’t agree with some of it (note he said some, so he must agree with some of it as well, logic dictates.) He also said he would not abandon his pastor nor would he have left the church.
Then, this week he pops on the View, and says yeah I would have left the church! Talk about a flip-flopping politician. He has more stories than Hogan has goats. It was also quite telling as to his (lack) of character that he threw his parents under the bus, so to speak as well as calling his white grandmother a racist at first, then rewording that to “Typical White Person”, as that’s how we’re ‘bred’. WTF??? I was bred to be a Typical White Person?
If it was some white bread minister or white politician saying all this racially biased bullshit they’d be hung out to dry in the press and everywhere else. But he’s the mainstream media’s poster child of sorts and they want him to be elected for their own interests and greed so they say little or slant it to make him look better. Then they crucify Hillary, for her lie/misquote/fuck-up on her Bosnia trip. Sure she screwed the pooch on that, and I’m no fan of hers, let me tell you, but the unfair slant and coverage they’re giving Obama as far as free passes when he’s clearly not what he promotes himself to be is crap. While I DO NOT agree with Hillary’s policy’s, her politics, or think she’d be a good Commander in Chief, at least she has been mostly vetted. Because the Devil you know…….
Then we have McCain for the Republican party. I didn’t agree one iota with that immigration bill him and Kennedy tried to push through. That was a pile of crap bill. We need to seal up our borders and enforce the immigration laws and arrest and deport those here illegally. If you want to be our countryman, do it LEGALLY! Or get the fuck out.
I do agree with him on a lot of the security issues as well as the economic issues and policy proposals, and I like him do not think we should bail out consumers every time they make bad financial choices, i.e., the mortgage foreclosures. No one put a gun to their heads and forced them to sign a contract that called for funds beyond their means? No one made them go into the offices to buy a home or refinance what they were paying on. Why should the rest of the country who are paying there bills without looming foreclosures (about 95%, BTW) have to foot the bill for bad money management?
Doesn’t seem fair to those living within their means, now does it?
Just like the gas prices. They’re not fair either. There is no reason for gas or diesel to be as high as it is other than the pure greed of the oil companies. The Govt. needs to stop All subsidies going to the oil companies Unless their prices at the pump are $2.00 or lower. No ifs ands or buts. And fucking don’t tell me that it’s because of the White house, Gas crisis in the 70’s was shitty too, and the one in the White House was a Democrat. Who, should have insisted on alternative fuel THEN, as Brazil did and we’d not have this bullshit now.
Of course any President could have done so since then, but hasn’t. If those who tout the Clinton era as “Prosperous” and “forward thinking” think they’re so great, tell me why Mr. false claims of Global Warming Gore or Mr. Blow Me Monica-but learn to swallow, Clinton didn’t do something then.
In any case, those oil companies should be ashamed of the ass raping they’re giving the American public that Made Them All RICH. But they won’t and don’t. They’re just concerned with profits and adding to their over flowing coffers. There should also be more employer incentives to carpool and lanes for ONLY car pooling commuters. Not mom and one kid in a baby seat, that should be a separate car pool lane entirely.
Folks should also know what car pooling and shared commuting is. It’s not one person paying for all the gas. It should be an equal share of costs. Because We ALL have to pay insurance and car maintenance costs. Sure you should pay a bit less in gas if it’s your particular car that being driven as the commuter, but you should pay at LEAST TWO DAYS a week. No LESS. If not, then you are clearly taking advantage of the situation, and of others good nature.
Of course you are no better if you’re the type to ride in a group and some how always forget your wallet at home or are always a few dollars short and will ‘catch it next time’. You are a deadbeat. Get your cheap ass to the bank ATM and get money out to pay for gas. Get off the computer, cancel your Wow account if you have to, if you’re in such a financial bind and Pay Your Share Of GAS!! Why is it some folks seem to have such as distorted view on fairness and on being an adult? Why is it folks try to take advantage of others and it doesn’t seem to bother them one iota? As if they have no morals or conscience about how they should or are treating others.
It’s disgraceful, and annoying…
Just like those folks who say they’ll do something, tend to issues at hand or give ya a ring back and don’t-For no good reason. If you can do whatever, that’s great, then we’ll hear from ya. If not, Don’t say you will.
I know shit happens, stuff comes up, etc. etc., but when it’s almost every time you say you’ll do something/tend to an issue/calls someone back, taking you at your word goes out the fucking window.
I mean, those who have five kids have reason to miss calls or be tardy, but hell, even they make the effort amongst all that chaos. So what the fuck is your excuse?
Where the hell did good manners, and treating others ‘by the golden rule’, go? Do people really get more stupid and rude on a daily basis? Did your mama not teach you to treat others as you would want them to treat you? Or did you go to the school of “Let’s walk all over so-and-so, use them up till I’m done with them and move on to the next one” or major in ” If it fits into my schedule and works for me then I’ll keep my word.”
As for the family issues and dramas that seem to be forever unfolding;
My sister, ’supposedly’ is seeing a minister about her drug and booze addictions and trying to get SSI benefits for her “disability”. She’s not qualified for that however. She still has yer second to the youngest child, her only daughter living in the home where she lives with her. If that child doesn’t need years of mental health help when she’s older it will be a sheer miracle. I am looked upon and labeled by my ‘dear’ sister as the devil incarnate, for trying my damnedest (even with that effort putting my own health on the back burner, mind you.) to make sure she had the medical and mental care she needed and demanding that she get it and be moved closer to family who could see her on a weekly if not almost daily basis. I, according to her and her cronies, “tried to keep her prisoner”, “tried to control her life”.
In her mind, She wasn’t in need of medical and mental care because she was doing Meth and Boozing it up as though Prohibition was going to be reinstated the next day, everyday, that led to her other medical conditions coming to a head that could have easily ended her life. No, apparently in her eyes only those who also lie like rugs and deceive others who claim to be “Christians” but are really hypocrites, are trying to help her genuinely. No, they’re not after custody of the one remaining child in my sisters care while they think they are her “grandparents” reincarnated or something.
At times, all this shit with my sister’s little dramas infuriates me. While at others it cuts me to the core. It shouldn’t I know, or so I’ve been told. But it does. I am, by my nature one of those individuals who try their best to help their families and friends through whatever crisis or issue(s) are at hand, even to my own detriment. I guess you could label me one of those “Fixer people”, if you keep up on all that physcobabble stuff. (Note: my sister is supposed to be visiting my brother with 3 of her spawn, kids this weekend. when I hear how that went I’ll post anew.)
Then there’s my bro and his GF and child issues….the Reader’s Digest version is that her mama and younger sister like to ’stir the pot’ and she for the most part goes along with their bulls hit till it bites her in the ass and affects her mentally and emotionally, to some extent. She needs to grow a back bone and tell her mother and sister to butt out or fuck the hell off altogether. She’s either in a relationship with my brother, or in one fucked up one with her mom, sister and children , with my brother thrown in for sex and to take the trash out. I hope he follows through and gets a custody plan in writing so she can never keep him away from his son just cause she’s angry with him. That’s not right, nor is it fair or justifiable. It’s flat out wrong and if you’re a woman who does that, when your child is NOT in harms way, you’re being a Cunt, to say the least.
I know of too many guys, who have been screwed over by ex GF’s or wives and their children used as pawns in their warped little games. and even though statistically over 70% of all divorces are initiated by Women, the guy, even if he has done no wrong towards the child (i.e. physical, mental abuse or neglect) gets a royal ass screwing in the court system and gets that label as dead beat dad. Those woman or those who support that view of “all men and penis’ ARE evil” should Never get equal pay or be deemed equal if They can’t treat men with the same fairness they want and screech for.
And no, I’m not “beaten down” or into submission by a man to see from his warped point of view, I am quite independent and think if you want fair and equal treatment if should be that way in ALL Areas. Not just what’s convenient for the Fem-Nazi mentality. Woman should also have to do the SAME work and the EXACT same duties to get the exact same pay. In the military, too. If you can’t defend the country as the enlisted Men do, get the fuck out and go bake a damn cake.
As for my other brother, he’s doing well. He’s still the same narcissistic, selfish person he’s been but he works for his toys and earns them. Of course his ego does seem to have taken the place of his prepubesant chubbiness (LOL), but I still love him:) He’s also recently got himself a newer car. It’s a ‘04 foreign car..a snooty, err Mercedes Benz (Why do I hear Ron White in my head??) which is a pretty car if you go for non-American made wheels.
Everett’s New (to him) Ride
As for Sperm-Donor and Twatzilla, it’s more of the same..They’re either living the high life, or living the high life needing money from someone to pay some bill that somehow they can’t afford. It’s a good thing they don’t have debtors prison anymore. He’d be up shit creek without a paddle.
Sometimes it just doesn’t seem worth the effort to worry about family. But it’s not in my nature to ignore it completely, least not for long.
So many people suck. So many people need a huge swift kick in their asses. And that’s not even counting Customer Service people, or others in that field who fit the above bill.
But if I start ranting about that and the associated Fraud, I’ll truly have to choke something….
