Smithers: There's no maybe about it, sir.
Burns: [sniffles] Excellent.

An Angry Letter To The American People
Dear America:
Please stop dragging politics into every fucking conversation. Why must every single article I read, some wiseass has to butt in their 2 cents on something political? If I am reading article on a puppy being flushed down the toilet, I want to read comments on what they think of a puppy being flushed down the toilet, not how Barack Obama is the next Hitler and we are living in 1930's Germany. If I read an article on bathing suits, I want to read comments on bathing suits, not Obama being a socialist. If I read an article on the new iPod, I want to read comments on what people think of the new iPod, not how Bush has destroyed the country. Yes, he did, but that is not the place to discuss it. If I read an article on summer movies, I want to read comments on the movies, not people cursing this political party or that political party. If I am reading an article on how a poor dog is tied to the back of a pick-up truck and drug down the street, I want to read comments on how awful that was, not about baby killers and abortion.
God! SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Sincerely,
A disgruntled American citizen

Random Thoughts
Oh, Dave. Why? Why did you waste your time apologizing to that bitch? Why did you just not tell her to go fuck herself? I would have. I would love nothing more than to crack a really bad joke about Sarah Palin, get her in a tizzy, and then make everything worse by telling her to go fuck herself on national TV. Why will no TV personality grow a set and do it?
Oh and then the Patron Saint of American Patriotism has to drag the military into it. I would like to exercise my American freedom to bitch slap her. I love these people that are so pro-military, but probably would never set foot in a boot camp. Keep at it, Sarah. Keep pushing the women's liberation movement back further and further.
Back when I actually had a job, one morning, a Linkin Park song came on and I thought it was pretty cool. I am not a big fan of Linkin Park; I think their music all sounds the same, although I do like "In The End", "Breaking The Habit", and "What I've Done". I heard it again on Saturday, so I wrote down the lyrics and then googled them and it is called "New Divide" and it is for the new Transformers movie. What is it about these movies that makes Linkin Park release good songs?
I have been head over heels for someone for almost 2 years and lately, I have been finding myself losing interest in this person. And it is depressing the hell out of me. My overall recovery from what I went through 3 years ago is largely attributed to this person. It's happened before; I would find myself losing interest in this person and then something would make me appreciate them more again. While a small part of me wishes I would get over this person, I really don't want to. And I pray that it is just another temporary loss. I can't stand the thought of it not.
I always heard from people when I was in high school that many of my classmates would change once they get out in the real world. Well, my school must be unique because they are all exactly the same. The spoiled rotten princesses are still spoiled rotten princesses. The arrogant jocks are still arrogant jocks. The whores are still whores. White trash is still white trash. I just seen a Myspace page for this trashy chick that was friends with a girl I was friends with and she is still as white trashy as she was in high school. Bitch was as sweet as sugar to my face and then ripped me apart behind my back. She barely even knew me! The only difference now is she not as skinny as she used to be and she is now [shudder] a mother (if anyone deserves to have their picture on Why The Fuck Do You Have a Kid....). She still thinks she is the sexiest thing to walk the earth and still likes to adorn herself as an Italian princess.
One of the things that I always loved in high school was how low community college was looked upon. I pretty much knew from the get-go that I was going to community college because I knew my parents did not have money to send me to a larger college, I was not special enough (e.g. sucked up enough) to receive any type of scholarship, I did not want loans, nor was I socially ept enough to survive going away to college. Needless to say, any mention of going to my community college was met with scorn and sneers. But I was the one to get the last laugh and luckily for me, I already knew that when I was being scorned over it, thanks to my sister graduating 4 years before me. So, what was so funny? Oh, the percentage of my classmates that went away to school on sports scholarships, drank and partied too much, either flunked or were kicked out, and who I had the pleasure of looking at in my second semester.
I never took the SATs. As someone who has seen the failure of standerized testing in determing one's abilities and knowledge, I refused on all grounds to take them. Standerized testing does not prove anything. It only causes more unneeded stress on college bound students. Colleges really need to stop placing so much goddamn emphasis on them.
You know how everyone always says things happen for a reason? Well, maybe my firing slash resignation was one. I am hearing through the grapevine that the company is outsourcing the call center to Maine. They always have listings on the webpage for positions there and it has been odd that nothing has been posted for the entire week and then to get this information?
I am still absolutely infuriated over one of my trainers telling another department supervisor that I quit because I had failed one of my tests. Lies! One of the two bitches knows damn fucking well I scored almost perfect fucking scores on all 3 tests. Whatsa matter? Get angry because I had said I did not feel prepared for the job and took it as a personal insult on your teaching? Well, guess what? Your teaching did suck! I got one person telling me to do one thing, after you telling me to do something else! There were many times in class my trainer would say one thing and a few minutes later say the complete opposite. How can you learn with that?
Look, I will never deny that I do not lie. I do. A lot, although my problem more is I will say things, but leave out vital information, therefore saving my ass, but at the same time not technically lying. But when I am accused of doing something that I did not do, it infuriates me. Why could she just not say I quit because I could not handle it? That is at least half the truth. And if it was my actual classroom trainer who said this....bitch wasn't even there on the Monday I left! I technically resigned at 2:45Pm. She had left for the day at noon. Whether or not I can find out who had said it....chances are slim probably.
And how convenient that my course evaluation with test scores was in the folder that they took from me.

Roses- Outkast
I knew so many girls in school who were just like this song.
Plus, what could be better than a video with Kevin McDonald?

The WTF Of The Day
I just experienced something so infuriating, I had to interrupt the Spybot S&D scan I have running just to rant about it.
I have just wasted the past 24 hours reading Frenemies by Megan Crane and it is hands down, one of the worst chick lit books I have read. The copy I have is 289 pages. I got to page 250 and said the hell with this dumbass book. If it was not a library copy, I would burn it. A book has to be truly awful for me to actually stop reading it, especially with so few pages left.
Seriously? Amy Lee got pissed with them because they didn't notice that she wasn't drinking and could therefore be pregnant? And then suddenly, they're best girlfriends in the world again? WTF? Pregnant or not, I would have told that bitch to go to hell. The characters were irritating as hell. The only character I liked was Linus the dog. Henry was tolerable, also. I also liked that the book was set in Boston, the second one to do so in all of the chick lit books I have read. While I adore reading books set in New York, it gets a little tiring after so many times.
I have read plenty of chick lit books in the past, but why do I not remember there being so many where the main character suddenly has this epiphany and decides to become this whole new person? Yeah, like people change just like that. Whatever.

The WTF Of The Day
Not anything big, but surprising me otherwise.
My mom knows the words to "Groove Is In The Heart". We were coming home from getting my car inspected yesterday and it came on 95.7 and I heard her start singing along with it.
And no, it is not because I play it on a neverending loop or anything like that. I don't. In fact, it is not a song I even listen to very often because I think Deee-Lite had better songs than that.

Video Of The Day
Because despite being out of office, it is still fun to protest Shrub and because I have loved them since the first time "Basket Case" premiered on MtV (and anyone in fifth grade with me can vouch for that, since I wore the "Dookie" shirt at least once a week until it fell apart and a couple years ago, I hunted down another one on eBay because I loved that shirt so much) and they still continue to put out good music...."Holiday" by Green Day:

Hallelujah!
Good news, everyone! Pop open a can of Slurm because....
It's official: 'Futurama' is reborn!
Woohoo! I don't know what I am enjoying more- the fact that Futurama is coming back or the Futurama-referencing comments throughout the comment sections. But I can assure you I am, in fact, scuttling with joy over Futurama coming back to life.
Futurama is one of those shows that I always brushed off. I would see it on and continue going through the channels. I never bothered even giving it a try. And then one night, I was feeling so damn depressed and it was the only thing on TV that wasn't sports, cop dramas, or reality TV, so I left it on. And that, my friends, was the beginning of a long relationship. The episode "Insane In The Mainframe" was what finally cemented my love of it.
And when it comes back on, please have more of Roberto, the absolutely insane robot that likes to rob the same bank multiple times. He's hilarious.
And if you are not excited....I order you to watch hypnotoad until you are, even if it takes the entire almost 10 minutes or 100 billion viewings of the video!
If that didn't work, then you can....ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD

Look! It's Captain Obvious! Part 3
I know, I know, I swore I would never mention her again, but this was just too good to pass up:
Nadya Suleman: I Screwed Up My Life, I Screwed Up My Kids' Lives
Really, Nadya? This is just coming to you now? It took 14 friggin kids to make you realize that you are a royal screw up? Goddamn, it took me no time to realize that I am a royal screw up! Oh, but you will still insist on doing a reality show, won't you? Go ahead, screw up your kids' lives more.
You know, I changed my mind. Now that I think about it, regardless of who those kids live with, people are still going to know them as crazy Nadya's children. Let her keep the damn kids. But take away all the nursing help, any donations, any WIC/disability/foodstamp payments or whatever she receives. Let her clean this mess up herself. Make the irresponsible cow lie in the bed she made for once instead of everyone bailing her out once again. And afterwards, stick her and Kate Gosselin and any other litter producer in a ring and hopefully they will destroy each other.
What is it with these people that feel like they never had love in their loves that they have to go and mass reproduce? Reproducing is the last thing I would think of ever doing if I was in that situation. But then again, most things give me an excuse to not have kids. Bad day at work? Not having kids. Someone cuts me off in traffic? Not having kids. You're welcome!
