So You Say You Want a Revolution

Maybe Sam Huntington was right. Nations aren’t about boundaries created by rivers and mountains anymore. It might be that what people look like, and what they believe in, is more important these days. What else could explain the sudden upsurge in secessionist feelings?

I’m a good ol’ boy from the Deep South so I get the Confederate thing. The big bad Federal government trying to tell a state what’s best for them and ignoring what may or may not be the truth on the ground. Sort of like the Federal Highway program, national drinking age, or No Child Left Behind all do today. So yeah, there are times when the local mayor really does know best.

Still, it’s amazing that pro-slavery groups and the damned liberal carpet baggers could get together on the matter. I’d love to be a fly on the wall when the bullets start flying. There’s no way in hell these two groups can get along long enough to get anything done.

It’s like asking Bill O’Rielly to have dinner in Harlem with Al Sharpton. Yeah, and people in hell are going to be getting air conditioning soon too.

Answer Me This

What’s more important to the long term viability of our nation, Putin’s power play to stay in power in the new Russia, or Britney losing the kids to K-Fed?  Now tell me which issue you’re going to spend the most time talking about tonight.

That’s fucking sad.

Random Thoughts

It’s Friday. I’m at the office. THE WOMAN is out of town. FDSM is home sick. My thesis paper is a week behind schedule. Do really think I’ve got time for this blogging shit?

But I know how heart broken all three of you will be if’n I don’t give you my thoughts for the day. And God forbid I let you down.

• J-E-T-S fans are pissed. Maybe Commissioner Goodell should have beheaded Bill Belichick. Then the Patriots would have only won by two touchdowns last week. The dangling-arm Chad is weak. Get on with your life.
• The bad guy was killed by the police. Consider this proof that there is a God, and He is good.
• Thinking outside the box, the Japanese have decided they can build golf courses on the moon cheaper than here on Earth. Good for them. Now I can get better tee times at General’s Ridge. Let’s just hope they beat Google.
• The Post hates on W. Here. Here. And, you guessed it, here. But Petraeus can put them all in check. The bitches at MoveOn.org might need to watch their asses.
• First he was a killer. Now he’s a thief. What’s next for OJ, kiddie porn?
• A mountain bike for you kids? Sure. One that costs $450? You must be smoking some really good crack. My first car barely cost that much. And that fucker’d do a hundred thru the 1/4 mile.
• TV is a wasteland, but we still watch. What does that say about us? Try reading a book for Chirst’s sake. I recommend starting with The Dangerous Book for Boys
• Good, fast or cheap.  The Silver Line isn’t going to be any of those three.  If Metro can’t pay the bills now, and refuses to look for a part time job, then why bother with new track?  If the cabbies at Dulles could speak English like good Americans they’d be throwing a shit fit over the competition for all those high dollar fares.

Now go forth and piss off your cube mates.

Six Years Later

Six years since the bad guys were finally able to hit us hard enough to get our attention. And where are we today?

• Our Congress is more worried about how to get the hell out of a war, than they are in winning it.
• People in my office bitched because the boss asked us to observe a moment of silence today. And of course that one moment of quiet was followed by about 30 minutes of conversation about how we shouldn’t be so mean to Arabs.
• The few people asking the salient questions are by the blowhards that wouldn’t be content if they were hung with a gold rope.
• Our best friends are starting quite smear campaigns against us. Just like in the eighth grade.

And the world is a safer place for us today. Yes, there are a lot of people that don’t like us anymore. But there always was those people. And no matter what we did or didn’t do in the Middle East they would still hate us. Unless of course we were giving them cash or pulling their asses out of a fire.

This country doesn’t have the balls for a long war. That’s what it boils down to. When we’re required to have an attention span of more than five seconds we fail miserably. If World War II had lasted another ten months we’d have sued for peace with Hitler.

Don’t believe me? How many of your friends voted in the last local election? How many voted in the last American Idol? Get the idea now?

If it were up to me every news cast would start and end with the video clips of the attack on the World Trade Center. That way all the damned weaklings walking around out there would remember how at risk we are as a nation. But hell, that’s just me. And what do I really know?
