Hooray! Our votes for Johnson worked!

It’s good to know that those of us who see McKinney for the bigot she truly is can manage enough votes to block her continued domination of our district.

We’ve managed to beat her down enough for a runoff on Aug 8th, which will hopefully rid our district of her once and for all. I was recently informed of her stellar fight against all things Bush and her support of gays, Jews and all minorities and other “good deeds”. What a load of CRAP. Jews? Wasn’t that her FATHER who said the problems of this country were because of J-E-W-S? It’s funny how these supporters have such selective memory when it comes to McKinney. It’s even funnier that I’m called an ignorant racist because McKinney’s blatant racism pisses me off. I really can’t stand people who think blacks can’t be bigots/racists. Anyone who lives in Dekalb County GA and can’t see the blatant racism of the county government is just plain silly. Vernon Jones is ON RECORD saying he wants the government of the county to “reflect its true colors”, which is the same implication as Nagin’s “chocolate city” comment. Nagin got reelected, too, you’ll recall. So what does that say about black people? It says that they can be just as racist as white people. They are not immune to it or excused from it, which is the apparent belief that many seem to have.

Let me illuminate the McKinney legacy via some articles I’ve rounded up from various sources:

Slate Online, The Rep Who Cries Racism.
Voted NO on establishing “network neutrality” (non-tiered Internet). (Jun 2006) All her votes are here.

The list goes on and on. She MUST GO. I’ve been called a racist for calling HER a racist. Hmm. Well, you know, black people can’t be racists, isn’t that the rule? The bottom line is that her whole existence is hinged on the black population of South Dekalb County. She has no use for the rest of her district. I KNOW, I live in the “supported” part of Dekalb county and I see the racist postcards and flyers that she and her supporters put in our mailbox. I’ll scan those to prove my point (Here is the postcard See any white people? Nope. Apparently there are none in her district.). I think that the liberal white people who support McKinney simply don’t get it. They live in N DeKalb and they don’t receive the propaganda that we do, living in the ‘hood (HER description, btw). (And even when they SEE the propaganda for themselves, they “don’t see anything wrong with it.” ARGH! Hope the weather is nice on whatever planet they live on. )

Yay for us getting a runoff! Let’s see if we can rid ourselves of the pox of the McKinney family once and for all on Aug 8th!

I have to say something!!

That bitch Cynthia McKinney is at it again. Gods I hate being in her district! It’s embarrassing. She’s an embarrassment to Democrats, Blacks, Whites and the whole state of Georgia.

I don’t know how anyone black or white can look at her and her father’s legacies and honestly think that she is an effective Representative. WTF? If black people are really that gullible, then I guess we here in Atlanta (or the ATL if you’re a rapper) are screwed! She was booted from office by those of us in her ever-changing district that are sick to death of every little thing being racial. So the guard didn’t recognize your fat ass? Big deal!! Do they have to memorize the hundreds (thousands?) of government people that go through the gates every day? I mean, fer chrissakes! Yah, right Cynthia, it’s just YOU.

I detest McKinney and all she represents. She represents the worst of black culture and the worst racism of anyone in public office. This is not the first time she’s bludgeoned a guard and then yelled racism and I’ll bet it won’t be the last if she’s re-elected. She’s currently under investigation for misuse of her funding, but I guess that’s accepted by her constituents as well. After all, she did use the funds to bring Isaac Hayes to her political fund raising party. It’s disgusting.

I look forward to voting against her yet again. Now, if we could just get the majority of this district to agree that she’s useless and get rid of her. Riiiight.

I hope someone in her office finds this post. Not that it matters, cuz, you know, I’m WHITE and therefore do not count in this district. Feh. I have got to scan the offensive postcard she sent out a while back. It’s entitled “Meet me in the neighbor HOOD!” and has NO white people at all in the collage on the front. Oh, but she’s not a racist because she’s black. Riiiight.

Where, oh Where Has My Sanity Gone?

Today is one of those days that tries my patience. I woke up feeling groggy and vaguely stressed out. The stress progressed until I was truly feeling stressed and tired by 11am. I cut out of work early (12:45p) because it appeared that the lunch rush was over, but as I waited for my tofu and veggies another rush came and I just HAD to get out of there! I grabbed my food, tossed some cash on the bar and literally scampered to my car! What the hell is wrong with me?

I had a Chakra Healing session yesterday with Rebecca and I think that has upset the proverbial apple cart. Now, before you go and accuse me of being all nutty-granola, let me explain that I often try out (for free) new kinds of energy healing just to see what will happen. The last one, Divine Light, was a big zero, but this one was really REAL. I truly felt stuff come up and I felt the energy bouncing around as Rebecca worked! I felt somewhat tired and disoriented when we were done, but today just sucks. I feel like I’ve slipped back into neurosis!

Anyway, I know what is going on. It’s my old friend fear. Yep, whenever things start to go well for me, I get all freaked out and spastic. I’m waiting on a BIG contract gig to get signed and delivered and it’s making me insane. Why do I have to constantly put myself through this hell of self doubt? Why? Am I not beyond that by now? Apparently not.

So, in this state of flux, I feel the need to write. Quite a few things have been on my mind lately. I think I’ll start with a subject that is near and dear to my heart: sex. It’s always a shock to me to realize that 95%+ of people in the world spend their whole lives without any decent sex. I’m even shocked when some bible thumpers get their knickers in a twist over a little nudity in a play at Kennesaw State College. My GAWD, this is a college fer chrissakes (a shitty one, but still)! Adults go to school there! What the fuck? Granted I am in Georgia, the buckle on the Bible Belt, but DAMN. I just don’t get it. I think people are very immature and silly about sex and nudity. Grow the fuck up. Geez.

Politics always get me ranty, but I’ll point out just one politician that makes me absolutely postal: Cynthia McKinney (D 4th GA), imbecile and loudmouth. Her latest idiotic claim that GeeDubya knew about the 9.11 attacks is just one more in a long list of stupid, irrational things that she has said. There is another black woman (Denise Majette) gunning for the 4th district and I hope she gets it. [She did, thankfully. – A] But, I suppose the darling of the ACLU, McKinney, will get elected again by the same morons who’ve kept her in office for FIVE fucking terms. I can tell you fer sure, it ain’t white people. This district is mostly black and for some inexplicable reason, McKinney is adored by the black community here. I just can’t figure out why, exactly. I am praying for an upset at the next election.

I’m reading the latest collection of short stories by Stephen King: Everything’s Eventual. It’s really a great collection. I have always loved short stories and I think King is the modern master of the genre. In his prologue, he mentions that short stories will probably be a lost genre soon, since the publishers are not interested in them. WHY, I can’t understand! I would think that a short story would be perfect for the minuscule attention spans of people today. But, anyway, he recommends a couple of other collections: Sam the Cat by Matthew Klam and The Hotel Eden by Ron Carlson. I intend to buy them and you should, too, if you like the short story format. There is a rather long story in this collection which is an offshoot of the Dark Tower – complete with Roland as the main character. Yum! Now I must go back and reread the Dark Tower books to prepare for the release of the 5th installment this year! It’s called Wolves of the Calla and I’m drooling for it! I’m such a King junkie, it’s really disturbing. He is now saying that the DT series will be seven books, but I’m hoping for more.

I really love ICQ. It’s a nice little client that rarely causes trouble with any other software and it’s cool to be able to harass Nick at work! [We’ve moved on to iChat & Adium – A] I have to say the same for StripCam, the software that takes snapshots with my crappy webcam and uploads them. [I’ve moved to EvoCam now, and it’s much better. -> Now I use Photo Booth! -A 2015] Rarely an issue. Now, I cannot say the same for Palm, Inc. I am really pissed at them! Their support sucks big hairy donkey balls. My little m100 began to have the well-documented digitizer-drift problem (that is denied by Palm), which is supposed to be fixable by a simple calibration, but it just didn’t happen for my Palm. When I’d go into the calibration application, it would go into a loop and I’d have to reset to get out. This occurred after many hard resets, new system installs, upgrades and even a third party calibration program was installed. I’m so bummed. :-( Now I have to strip it down and send it back for an exchange. Wah. Six months this one has lasted, when the Palm III I gave to Andy was several YEARS old and never had an issue other than an age-related short that made it turn off by itself. Not good, Palm. I knew I shoulda gotten a fucking Visor. The support is totally nonexistent and even the email I got from the CSR to confirm my exchange request was fucked up by the Palm email system. Gawd. [Palm is long gone now in 2015. -A]

I feel better now. Writing always calms my nerves. I wish I was a better writer and could produce more than stream-of-consciousness essays, but unfortunately my talent lies in instructional manuals, not prose. Ask me about Macs or herbs and I’ll write you a very detailed, complete and focused tome, but anything literary, well, NO. Ah, well, at least I know my strengths!

Here is a proverb from the Tao Te Ching for you to meditate upon until my next Rant:

I have three treasures which I guard and keep:
The first is compassion.
The second is economy.
The third is humility.
From compassion comes courage,
From economy comes the means to generosity,
And from humility comes responsible leadership.
