I have nothing to say that's going to be pleasant for most folks to hear, so most of it has been typed out, sworn at, and deleted.

Now, I'm going to get the fuck away from the jingoistic bullshit spewing from my coworker's radio before I perform a terrorist act of my own.



I'm nauseated by the orgy of grief propaganda being trotted out to get the flag waving and excuse the vile acts perpetrated by the American government against Americans not to mention others.

This is not America.

Anyone feeling safer or more free? I didn't fucking think so.

Six years, and there's still a big fucking hole in Manhattan. How long does it take to get your shit together, people? What are we, the third fucking world? Oh, yeah... that's New Orleans.

You should take a moment to watch this then -

Dude, I agree with you completely, considering you can see my old apartment from the giant hole in the ground, but I am not dealing with this shit today.

Agreed on all counts. Oddly, seeing as I work in a quasi-federal building on the Potomac, I've not seen nearly as much jingoistic bullshit as usual...

Err... If he wins the Republican nod, that would certainly make for an interesting race. But he's not going to, and I'll take literally any of the Democrats over any of the other Republicans.

Total agreement. One of the nice things about working from home is that I get to avoid all that bullshit by sequestering myself inside until the faux patriotism ends.

The shit that goes on makes me want to vomit. Seriously.

[ladysoleil.livejournal.com]

I'm sure we can find you a nice commemorative barf bag for that.

[gooddamon.livejournal.com]

Make sure it's covered with American flags and patriotic slogans. But to be sure it's well made and won't leak, it should probably be manufactured in Taiwan. None of that "Made in the U.S.A." crap for me.

[ladysoleil.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking we need a new oppresive country to manufacture our commemorative trinkets. A lead-tainted Patriot Bag would make for very bad PR.

[ladysoleil.livejournal.com]

crap. I know how to spell "oppressive". I swear.

Well, we've been sending all our other jobs to India. Why not have them make our faux-patriotic chachkas, too?

There is a march in Washington for impeachment, September 15th... who wants crash space?

No, seriously. I live in spitting distance of the nations capital, and even closer distance to convenient metro. I'll kick my two roommates out for the weekend and put the kid on a bedroll on the floor in my room to make bed space. We can put up a bunch, so long as people don't mind sleeping like they do in Tokyo... cramped and end to end. Numbers here mean *everything*.

Sleeping bags and blow up mattresses make great carry on luggage.

For some horrible value of won, I won shock-and-awe today. I'm back in Cincinnati, and walking out of the building for lunch with my clients, I noticed that the flags were all half-masted. I said, "Oh, hey, did somebody die?". (Oops. Had no idea it was 9/11.) Not the thing to do in Flandersville.

*snerk*

Haven't seen it much today though for me...

Guess it is good to not pay any attention to the radio, and live in my own goth/industrial music safe haven when it comes to audio.

Kind of ironic to me though, I made plans to go eat at a Mexican resteraunt today...
