msfledermaus..I keep shaking my fist at the news and calling various politicians uncivil names, then pausing to make foghorn noises into my Kleenex. Gree-at, they're proposing to chop things like summer school now, and of course Arlon Lindner didn't even get a smack on the wrist for accusing gays of being behind the German concentration camps. I wonder when the "Load the poor and the sick and the old and the morally unacceptable in trucks and dump them in landfills" bill will pop up. Probably any day now. Enough to make anyone sick.
*Blows into Kleenex. Awhoooo-ga.*
Plus I keep listening to the news about the looted Iraqi museums...Pieces I studied in college, missing...possibly sold, or smashed beyond recognition. Sounds like none of them have turned up yet, at least where the public could hear about them.
*blows nose some more*
S'cuse me, I'm almost out of tissues. Back in a mo'...

Date: 2003-05-06 07:56 am (UTC)As for having a cold...BE CAREFUL, THEY could load YOU up for the landfill if they THINK you might have SARS. WE can't have our mausey sittin on a pile of garbage honking her nose and knitting blankets for all the other Bush undesirables. YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!! *hands over a kleenex* =O)

Date: 2003-05-06 07:48 pm (UTC)No SARS for me, it can't survive all the frenzied knittin'.:)
And the cold would get jealous.
I'm drinking lots and lots of juice and eating garlic and doing all the cold-things I'm supposed to...
*accepts Kleenex gratefully*
I keep running out of the stuff.
*whoonk*

Date: 2003-05-06 08:13 pm (UTC)I hate feeling like we're all trapped in this Orwellian nightmare, even though we are:( minnesota's been pretty damn shocking lately too, just horrible. It's like chicago in the 30's when the mobs were running everything through the politicans. Now it's the corporations that are doing it...

Re:
Date: 2003-05-06 08:37 pm (UTC)I never thought I'd see anything this awful, ever. I really honestly didn't. it still boggles the mind when I think of everything that's happened in the last 2 1/2 years.
Re:

I'm just hoping that the country regains some sanity in time for the next election.

Re:
Date: 2003-05-07 06:12 am (UTC)I don't know what to expect anymore from this election, really I don't...we're in a tailspin, and I haven't a clue if we're gonna pull out or hit the ground:(
Re:
Date: 2003-05-07 06:16 am (UTC)I'll just have to watch Strange Brew a few times to aclimatize myself.
Re:
Date: 2003-05-07 06:20 am (UTC)I've gotta have hope for the next election, otherwise we are screwed. If Shrub does all this with a less then majority vote, just imagine what he could do if he actually wins an election. I justh ope the Democrats get off their asses and put up some people worth voting for.
Re:
Date: 2003-05-08 06:15 am (UTC)Pllease, Pleaase, Dems get us someone worth voting for!
Re:
Date: 2003-05-08 06:17 am (UTC)How's it goin' eh?

Re:
Date: 2003-05-12 06:16 am (UTC)sheesh, sounds like I'm talking about Poland in the 80's instead of America...how scary is that?
Re:
Date: 2003-05-12 06:18 am (UTC)And with Bush and friends trying to
buy more voterspush through another ill concieved tax cut, whoever runs will have some work cut out for him.Re:
Date: 2003-05-12 06:21 am (UTC)Heehee, I hear the Right Wing's mobilizing to stop Hillary Clinton from running, even though she keeps saying she doesn't intend to run for Prez. spending tons of money and everything....
Re:
Date: 2003-05-12 06:37 am (UTC)Heheh... It doesn't surprise me that they are doing their best to stop her. She was practically president last time :) I wasn't really a fan of hers, but compared to Shrub, she is definately the lesser evil.
