Aside from the all-consuming traffic ticket, I have been mulling over some other stuff going on in my ‘hood as well as some political stuff.

First the ‘hood. A girl came knocking on my door the other day, looking for a jump. Her car died right down the street and she was trying to get home a couple of streets away. She had her baby and boyfriend with her. It’s important to note that they were snowflakes like me. So, I put my work on hold and go to knock on doors and try to find her some jump cables since ours were in the truck with Nick.

Is it really any surprise at all that Dubya put one of his lapdogs in the Supreme Court slot? This Miers woman has NO experience, NO background to support this appointment and NO business being in the highest court in the United States.

All Dubya can say about her is that she’s a nice lady and I’ve known her for a long time. Oh yeah? Well, that makes me feel so much better!

but it’s not worth the hassle of posting it. I just don’t have the time to deal with the flames right now.

I will leave this great quote from my post:

Resegregation is not due to government intervention, it’s due to people wanting to be with their own socioeconomic group.

But other than that, I’ll skip the rest. I’ll follow the white people can’t talk about black people rule like a good little snowflake.

::sigh:: Pity. It was one of my better posts.

First the bad news:

Yet another indicator that this country is going to hell in a handbasket:
Supreme Court rules in favour of personal property seizures.

WTF? How in the hell could anyone think this is a good idea, especially the so-called liberals of the Supreme Court?? This is madness, total, complete madness. So, it’s now OK for a PRIVATE developer to waltz into a neighborhood and decide that it’d be best to seize private homes in order to build Mcmansions or a strip mall in the name of the “public good”?

I worry about the morons who are running this country. Isn’t there some way we could get rid of the WHOLE government and just start over? Couldn’t we give them all notice that we’re replacing them and then just do it? Starting with The Shrub, of course, then proceed with the rest of the executive branch, then the legislative branch, then the judicial branch. Let’s take a year and simply replace every last one of the idiotic, misguided, outdated old people who run this place and put in some new blood. Smart business people, diplomats, exemplary judges, independent legislators and others who have the desire to serve the rest of us. No parties, no lobbies, no bullshit special interests and no huge salaries, either.

Save your comments, I know this could never ever happen. Just let me have my fantasies, ok?

Now, the good news:

Our favourite L5P bar, The Vortex, has decided to become a BAR and allow smoking! There is an article in today’s AJC [article looong gone -ed.] about the new statewide smoking ban that is happening July 1st and The Vortex is mentioned for its avant garde policy of allowing ONLY 21 and up.

I’m ecstatic that The Vortex has stood up to the pressures of the government and the breeders and made a stand for those of us who don’t want brats in our neighborhood hang outs. Of course the breeders are whining about not being able to take their packs of sniveling brats into the Vortex to eat, but I’m so happy I could just KISS everyone at the Vortex. Those guys totally RAWK. I can’t wait to eat there on Monday and tell everyone how much I love them! I also can’t wait to fire up a smoke and savour the knowledge that there are people who truly will live as they please.

3 cheers for Michael Benoit, owner of the Vortex, for standing up to whiny breeders and government tyranny!!
