Tea-Bagging Signs

First you find a sign, then you tea-bag it. Try to get that visual out of your head.

The Tea Sign

Obama lowering taxes for 95% of the population and ending the Bush tax cuts on the other 5% plus passing expensive investments in our economy somehow relates to the Boston Tea Party (which was about taxation without representation) so Republicans are throwing a tea party of their own.

I. Don't. Get. It.

I don't imagine anyone with their head free of their anal canal does. How stupid can you be to think that the symbolism involved actually makes sense enough to run with it? I sure hope for their sakes that they're not "rushing" into this. It could get embarrassing.

A True Sign

So Hillary said to bet on the filly didn't she? Not only did it come in second, it broke down and was put down after the race. Now that's what I call a sign. Go Obama!

Signs of Employment

I’m celebrating my first weekend after nearly 6 years of being unemployed. I just finished my first week working at the Mental Health Crisis center as a Staff Assistant II and I feel fine! All it took was nearly a year of interviews with various Mendocino County agencies before one of them took a chance on me and here I be. After working for some of the worst employers this county has to offer I pretty much concentrated on getting on with the county as I’d had it with toxic workplaces. So far, it looks like it was worth the wait. My supervisor is impressed with my ability to learn new things swiftly and accurately and has already said so. What a difference from my previous experiences with employers in Mendocino County.

As far as signs go, they came the day before I was offered the position on the morning of April 3’rd. The final sign came with a movie we were watching the previous night (The Shawshank Redemption) and about two thirds of the way through it I knew that I was going to get hired. Everything came together and I experienced a moment of clarity where everything I had gone through to get to this place in my life made perfect sense. It all fit together like some giant puzzle and I was finally able to see it. Now I’m starting another puzzle, the pieces of which are yet to be found and fitted together. It’s a great feeling to rejoin the ranks of the gainfully employed and a better one to finally achieve something that I’ve been working on for years. The fact that my work involves helping folks who truly need it is icing on the cake.

Special thanks go to Nancy, who has put up with me during my search for gainful employment and been supportive throughout. I couldn’t have done it without her love and understanding. We’re both looking forward to my first payday when we can rejoin the consumers of this great country and shop until we drop.

Also, Bush still sucks but life looks better than it has in quite a while so I’ll let him lie as usual without comment. Bye for now.

Health Insurance

I don't care for any of the candidates plans concerning health care for all Americans. To me, the solution is obvious yet I know that chances are that it will never come about. That is because to truly fix the system you need to eliminate part of it and I don't see insurance carriers volunteering to put themselves out of business. That is the part that needs to go in my view. Possibly we could bring them into the government somehow as oversight for how the services are distributed. Otherwise, they need to go. They've already proven that when profit becomes the number one concern, our health takes a distant second. What do you think?

Signs of Fear Mongering

Do you believe our President when he says the following?

"American citizens must understand, clearly understand that there's still a threat on the homeland. There's still an enemy which would like to do us harm," Bush said. "We've got to give our professionals the tools they need, to be able to figure out what the enemy is up to so we can stop it."

"By blocking this piece of legislation, our country is more in danger of an attack," he said.

Don't. He can still listen in all he wants. Any statements to the contrary are lies and bullshit. And what does telecom immunity have to do with it anyway? Not a damn thing. He's just trying to cover up his criminal acts. Not that anyone will call him on them. Lies, more lies and bullshit. That's all that ever comes out of his mouth.

Signs of R and R

So, I got a haircut and shaved my beard. Now all I need is a real job. After 5 years of living on the fringes of society I've become tired of it enough to get a nine to five job and hopefully that will happen soon. Meanwhile, our Democrat controlled houses have done evrything that our criminal in chief has asked them to. It's like Bush got the goods on them through the NSA and is holding it over their heads. Amnesty for the telecoms? What the fuck is that shit? Federal crimes have been commited and we're turning the other cheek? Makes me sick. I'll be back after I go puke out my guts in disgust.
