Where Have I Been?
I know I know…it's summer and I've been busy getting a tooth pulled, recovering and discovering why I feel so fucking poor all the time. We’re spending way too much fucking money on food; in fact we spend more on food each month than ALL our other expenses combined. That's just wrong and I'm going to start really watching how much I spend, use coupons and shop sales. I'd like to say this is blip, but it's not it's been going on since we moved here.
In Other News Around The Globe
The fucking Al Qaeda terrorists are fucking with us again and this time, it's personal, since they are telling me my makeup and toiletries are a threat to national security. I mean really now, what's next? Instead of looking at products, isn't it time that put aside this political correctness that has us gripped by our collective throats and start profiling PEOPLE?
Seriously what will happen when these suicidal fuckwits figure out a way to make a bomb out of suntan lotion and slather it all over their bodies? Then detonate it by uttering a word or phrase? I guess then our government will ban passengers from passenger airlines. Better still, why not just ban luggage of all kinds from planes?
And what gives with our media? Why must they ask the most retarded questions of people? For example, I was watching a cable news organization and this reporter was interviewing a James Bond type of guy from the UK. He was explaining how they found these bastards and our media guy asked him if he was surprised to learn of tentative connections to Al Qaeda. James Bond literally blinked for a second and then replied, "No, we weren’t at all surprised." OMFUCKINGOD. Then another channel, was asking if anyone was surprised that they would try a dry run? Another Duh from me. Think about it…remember grammar school and fire drills? You’d do them often right? And why do you think that was? Uh huh.
Then later the big discussion of the "What If" scenarios all involving Norad (who also tracks Santa) shooting down a commercial airliner and asking if they could do it. **Ranter Sighs** Here’s a scarier "what if" for ya, what if the objective isn't to fly a plane into a building, after all it's been done, but to instead just blow the fucker up and destroy the already fragile airline industry, and make people afraid to fly? Think about that for a second, they wanted to do this on 10 airplanes all going to the US and mostly US carriers. All the media can focus on is what were the targets…What if the plane was the ONLY target?

Did you know that Reuters won't even use the word "terrorist" anymore since to some people (terrorists) they're "freedom fighters".
I'm really amazed by all of the people playing the race card to defend these people or the Brits who thought these people were so nice that they "must be innocent".
As for me, when they affected the 2nd trip my parents took that just happened to coincide with their bombing plans, I felt - hmmm - I think I'm going to take this really personal and starting getting very very angry.
But that's just me.
