some politics and etc:
1-john mccain’s top economic advisor today called americans ‘a nation of whiners’ because americans were upset about their economic problems.
mccain’s top economic advisor, phil gramm, has basically said that america’s economic problems
are ‘mental’, as in they’re all in people’s heads.
huh. that might be hard to explain to people who are unemployed, can’t pay for their kids medical bills, and have
just had their house foreclosed on.
oh, john mccain said that he stands by what his economic advisor said.
what a well run campaign…
2-jesse jackson said that he’d like to ‘cut his(obama’s)nuts off’. sour grapes? sorry, that was a bad pun.
i mean, isn’t it just possible that jesse jackson, an african-american politician who ran for president about 18,000 times,
is bummed out that obama will be the nations first african-american politician?
maybe jesse should start wearing a ball-gag when he appears in public. in addition to being practical(in that it would
keep him from speaking when people might be listening)it would also show his solidarity with the b&d community.
3-have you ever taken ambien? i was on a flight recently and i was sitting next to a very professional business woman.
i’m guessing she was 48 years old, very affluent and successful and poised. 15 minutes into the flight she took an ambien
and went to sleep. 90 minutes later she woke up, looked at me and said ‘i like your glasses’. she took my glasses and tried them
on. she then sat for a second, farted very loudly, and went back to sleep.
when she woke up later i could tell that she had absolutely no recollection of waking up and taking my glasses and farting
loudly.
i love that ambien makes people crazy. it’s like a 2-in-1 drug. it helps people to sleep and it makes them crazy, like
the simpsons episode where homer becomes a zombie and bart uses him as his personal zombie slave.
my caveat to people: if you’re flying and you want to sleep you might want to think twice about what sleep drugs
you’re taking. some sleep drugs probably should be reconsidered at 38,000 feet in the company of complete strangers.
i guess that’s all for now.
i hope you’re having a good summer(or winter if you’re in the southern hemisphere, like patagonia. i’ve always
wanted to go to patagonia. probably in the summer. our winter. their summer. just to be clear), and hopefully i’ll
see you soon.
