Michael Jackson: Attention whore

MIchael Jackson is such an attention whore. He couldn't even let Farrah Fawcett enjoy the limelight of her own death.

I turned on the noon local news today, and the first ten minutes was all Michael Jackson. I'm a little miffed over that. Somewhere in America, a police officer was injured or killed serving his community, and somewhere in the world, an American soldier was most likely injured or killed serving his country. THAT, is more important to me than Michael Jackson.

Illegal immigrants (or illegal aliens)

I have found the perfect analogy that reflects how I feel about Mexicans coming into the United States illegally:

Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder
to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely.

Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests...

Let's say I break into your house.
Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave.

But I say, "No! I like it here. It's better than my house. I've made all the beds and washed the
dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors. I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house).

According to the protesters:
You are Required to let me stay in your house
You are Required to feed me
You are Required to add me to your family's insurance plan
You are Required to educate my kids
You are Required to provide other benefits to me & to my family
(my husband will do all of your yard work because
he is also hard-working and honest, except for that
breaking in part).


If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there.


It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm a hard-working and honest, person, except for well, you know, I did break into your house.

And what a deal it is for me!!!
I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of cold,
uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted behavior.

Oh yeah, I DEMAND that you learn MY LANGUAGE!!! so you can communicate with me.


I wish I knew who the author was.

Star Trek reimagined...

I'm a little late with posting any kind of critique of the new Star Trek movie, since I just saw it today. All I have to say is...IT WAS FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!! I love the whole reimagined Star Trek thing. I'm hoping they go with this story line, which appears to be grittier, and militaristic. Yes, that goes contrary to Gene Roddenberry's vision, but one must face the truth that ole Gene was a socialist/communist with his idea of the future.

I voted Democrat

I'm not the author of this, but it is a great read! Sometimes the truth hurts!!!

I voted Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. And...I've decided to marry my cat.

I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn't.

I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

I voted Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.

I voted Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq, I trust that the bad guys will stop what they're doing, because they now think we're good people.

I voted Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.

I voted Democrat because I believe that people who can't tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.

I voted Democrat because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.

I voted Democrat because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as THEY see fit.

I voted Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite The Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.

I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my ass that it is unlikely that I'll ever have another point of view.
