    yeah - I gotta agree with the glass is half empty crowd. When I see a pile of sh*t, I conclude it is just that, a pile of sh*t. I don't conclude that a pile of sh*t is evidence of a pony, somewhere, under all the sh*t. We are a failed democracy. And when our best political minds are presented with irrefutable evidence that our president is a liar and a war criminal, they conclude the best strategy is to do nothing, except wait, with our thumbs firmly up our behinds, for the 2008 elections to roll around. But the truth is, we are just one terrorist attack away from our dumbed down electorate voting Bush president for life, suspending that annoying constitution, and declaring martial law. Cuz, you know, you gots to be willing to destroy freedom, in order to save it. (I just realized: Marshall Law would be a kick a$$ name for a blog!)

    Me? I'm gonna sit here and roll me a cigarrette out of some really fine imported tobaccy and enjoy me a smoke. Hmmm...now that's a good ciggy. Wha? You folks still here? Ok - you wanna know what's really funny? This tobacco is imported from Europe, but it's still costs a fraction of them American made manufactured cigarettes. Ain't that a kick in the a$$? Imported from f*cking Holland fer christsake, and it's still $25 cheaper than a carton of Marbs. Whoo, baby. What a f*cked up country we are, indeed. You folks still here? Git out, yer startin to bug the sh*t out of me. Go on - I said, "Git!" And let me enjoy my imported ciggy in peace.
