Good morning, y'all. It's Friday! I gotta be honest, I'm glad it's here. I have got that nasty cold that's going around which makes sleep fitful, at best. Plus, I've been working 16 hour days for a couple of weeks now. I look beat down about now. I have got to spend the weekend in some sort of self-induced coma to refresh.
Let's see what's going on in the world this morning, shall we?
We have a confirmed Attorney General? Damn, I have been out of the loop this week. Oh, and look at his picture! He's a 66 year-old white man. Shocker. No offense to old white dudes, but is that the best we can do? They're usually kind a cranky. (More than me, I mean)
Authorities say teachers had been attending an education conference at the Houston convention center when an escalator accident injured 30 of them. No word yet if Senator Shapiro was near the scene.
President Bush was in San Antonio stumping for Cornyn and gave a 'stirring' speech about the War on Terror and that it is a fight against "light versus dark." (insert eye roll here)
Then he actually talked to wounded veterans for TWO WHOLE HOURS and even wrapped his jacket around the shoulders of a soldier that lost his leg in Afghanistan (Read Jenny's Blog). Bush asked the soldier if he wanted to go home. "No. I want to go back (overseas)," Clark said.
"Isn't this a great country?" Bush responded.
I would have replied, "No, I want my goddamn leg back you sorry sack of shit." But, y'all know me...I have a hard time holding my tongue.
Bush is suffering from delusions, y'all. Here's a quote from his time in San Antonio:
"Some day people are going to look back at this time and day and say, 'Thank God there was a generation that did not lose faith ... because the Middle East is a place free of suiciders,'" Bush said.
suiciders? That's not even a word, dumbass. And no, some day we're going to look back on this generation and say what the hell was wrong with those weirdos. How did they elect an oppressive zealot? Twice!
Ok, I'm pissed off enough to go take a shower and get to the office. Surely there will be something hilarious to post so we can get through lunch with a laugh.
What is a mand? You know I meant to say man. Maybe you were right about our demographic.
HAHA Doc, you know there's a reason they call it a gross generalization. As a future "old white dude" myself, I do apologize if I painted a picture of all 60+ year old white men.
My message is that I would desperately like to see more women and minorities in this administration.
As far as suiciders, since when has W cared about destroying the English language?

As a 60 ++ year old white mand, I take offense at your gross generalization. You would never get away with it with other ethnic and/or minority groups. You would be on Larry King apologizing and saying your comments were taken out of context.
