Pet Peeves
Don’t you hate it when you ask someone a question and they give you 5-minutes of bullshit and never answer the damn question? It’s especially annoying when it’s a simple yes or no question.
Or…
When someone is telling you a story and it takes forever for them to get to the point of the story? Do I really need all the minutiae?

Health Care Revisited
The health care bill was voted into law after my last entry and as I thought would happen, a lot of people lost their freaking minds about it.
Why is everybody so surprised? Obama said from the time he declared his candidacy that his priority was to establish a health care reform bill. Then when various member of congress, Republican and Democratic, balked, he basically said kiss my skinny black ass and came up with his own plan. And I loved how when the bill was passed, Republicans said they would not cooperate with the president any longer. Are they kidding, they didn’t cooperate to begin with.
And I love how Sarah Palin put on her web page (or was it her twitter page) that it was time to RELOAD. Nice way to incite the uneducated redneck reactionary assholes to potential violence, yet step back and say that it’s a comment that was misconstrued. I do wonder though, who thought that statement up for her and how long it took them to explain to her that it could have a double meaning.
You know what I think really bothers people about the health care bill and the Obama presidency? The fact he’s black. Yes I think racism is at play. Not only that, but I really think that some of his more vociferous opponents & some of the more rabid TV/radio pundits REALLY want to use the n word when talking about Obama. So instead they attack him as maliciously as possible.
I also love it when I hear about these morons who contact their local congressperson and leave threatening messages. These morons obviously don’t realize that leaving a threatening message is against the law and can get you jail time. I’m sure the people who get arrested will pull the freedom of speech defense, but freedom of speech means saying things like you suck, or health care sucks not, “I hope you die” or “It only takes one bullet.”

Big Corporations SUCK!
I love it when a big company fires, over the course of a year, about 2000 people and claims it’s because of economic reasons. Especially when that company over the course of that time frame reports quarterly earnings of over $250-million dollars. Let me repeat that…the company reports earnings of over $250-million dollars a quarter. That’s over a BILLION dollars a year in profit and it’s not fucking enough. No wonder this country is near bankruptcy.

That’s all for now. Not the most entertaining entry I’ve ever written, but hey, Barry Bonds didn’t hit a home run every time up either.

The ‘Rat is finally back and he knows you were waiting with bated breath to hear his latest.

You may be wondering why there was such a long time between entries (then again, you may not). There are two reasons. Number 1: the computer the ‘Rat was using was dying a slow horrible death. So much so that he had to do a system restore 4 or 5 times. Finally, in November while trying to do a system restore, the hard drive basically said “Fuck You” and died.

Reason number 2: the ‘Rat just got lazy. So sue me.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

One question I have about this year’s rock and roll hall of fame selections. Can someone, ANYONE tell me just how the FUCK ABBA is in the Hall of Fame? I mean if you list people in the Hall of Fame alphabetically, they’re going to come before Chuck Berry. Un-fucking-believable. And Genesis makes it but not Judas Priest?

Our Government at work

During the week March 8, U.S. citizens received a letter in the mail from the census bureau telling us that we could expect to receive our census form in the mail during the following week. Un-fucking believable!

I’d like to know how many millions it cost to send a stupid fucking letter to tell us something most of us already knew was coming. It reminded me of 2008 when the government spent $40-million to send out letters telling us we were going to get tax rebate. It appears there is finally something we can’t blame on the Dumm-ya administration.

Health Care

The health care issue looks like it will pass, if it hasn’t already (I stopped paying attention a long time ago) and everybody seems to be pissed off about it. Everybody except me that is. I don’t know what’s in the bill and I don’t really care (I’m fortunate enough to have health care through my employer), but there seems to be something in the health care bill/idea/program that pisses everybody off. I think the problem is that people are just picking one point of the issue and getting so worked up that their losing focus. Of course I don’t think ANYBODY has read the whole thing and that doesn’t help the issue either. When this thing gets passed, people are going to see that we’re not going to turn gay, communist or whatever. Lighten up people. Of course once this is passed, maybe Obama can start worrying about less important things. Like jobs, or pulling troops out of Iraq.

This ends the entertainment portion of your day. Now back to your regularly scheduled psychosis.
