A change of course.....
Dear Readers,
Sorry for the long parched dry period we’ve experienced here at danlangdon.com. It’s just that, with so much crap going on in the world, I just can’t find the inspiration to write about things like table linens and china patterns (not that they aren’t a seminal part of life, mind you – but they are not everything in life)
So with apologies to Sylvia, I am branching out. From now on, I’m going to write about whatever I damn well please, and a lot of that is probably going to be political.
With that said, here are some things I’ve been wanting to get off my chest:
1.) Terri Schiavo is dead. She’s been dead for a long time. That grisly animated corpse you see on that video tape is just a ghoulish sideshow for the “christian” mouth-breathers. My heart goes out to her, her family, and her husband – but she’s dead. Everyone, including the Catholic Church, needs to just butt out.
2.) I could give a flying fuck about Michael Jackson or Scott Peterson.
3.) George Bush’s idea about “reforming” Social Security sucks. Social Security is a great program that shows that you don’t have to be religious to take care of people. That’s part of the reason why the Bushies hate it. They also want to make money off of all the suckers who would be “investing their own money” under privatization.
4.) Bush’s plan to “reform” Amtrak will kill it. This will result in the loss of 24,000 living wage jobs AND a vital transportation link for rural areas where Greyhound has already pulled out and where there is essentially no air service. Not to mention the havoc it will wreak in the big cities that depend on Amtrak to provide their commuter services.
5.) The media and the government think we are stupid, and for the most part we are.
6.) George Bush is a liar and a jerk. The people that voted for him fall into two camps: The selfish and the stupid. These camps are not mutually exclusive, by the way.
7.) I am sick and tired of conservative’s paranoia and victim mentality.
8.) Why does everyone think John McCain is so great? He’s a stool pigeon with a masochistic complex.
9.) Who is Nick and Jessica, and why should we care?
Discuss amongst yourself.
