What if he's got a pointed stick?

Yea, I know I’m slacking! SO, there are THINGS going on, yes? Here’s the news. We will be closing this after noon (June 28) and it looks like we’ll be able to move in right away. We should get the keys tomorrow (June 29) and then we are set to start bringing stuff over. I will be taking Friday off of work and moving as much in as I can. This weekend we hope to be getting most all of our stuff over there and hopefully get the vitals unpacked so we can start living there. Also, My Fair Lady is nearing the opening night and preparations are frantic with last minute things, polishing the scenes and finishing up costumes and what not. And now having dropped my calculus class, I only have the two online classes going. History is mildly entertaining but mostly boring. I think this is largely due to the heavy emphasis on the political side of American history as opposed to the cool stuff like assassinations, war, espionage, intrigue, and of course learning that pretty much every American president was hated by the end of their term no matter the circumstances. I used to think that distrusting politicians was merely because of a few “bad apples” but the more research I do the more I find that ever since the pre-Civil War era the majority of them have been corrupt, hypocritical, money grubbing, weasely, in it for them selves instead of the people they represent, morons worthy of being dragged into the street and beat to death with a clown shoe! He he >Squeak!< And it is with that in mind that I nominate myself for the office of the president! “If elected I promise to have all of your legs sawn off! ... and replaced with legs of PURE GOLD! Plus I will grant you the power to fire lasers from your head!” (This is the part of the campaign where I promise you ridiculous things just to get your vote. These things will never come to pass but because I am so superior to all of you voters, you will fail to see this until I’m elected and then get offended when you realize that you are stupid. Another reason you’ll vote for me is because the only other candidate who can tie his own shoe is a slobbering moron who campaigns by attempting to change every law /amendment /commandment /religious reading that you hold dear and right. Besides, the way he looked in one particular moment of one particular conference when he was really excited was a little scary. As entertainment to the “voters” we will hold press conferences and debates and what not where we will discuss “complicated” subjects like whether we should allow gay abortionists to remove the word “God” from the influx of violent immigrant child abusers who CLEARLY play too many video games with vile acts of self desecration in them! [By the way these are current issues I pulled off of the Berkley web site]) But in spite of all that, you will love me as your president for about half of my term. At that point, there will inevitably be some controversy with no “meet in the middle” solution and I will be forced to make a decision (which equates to actually DOING something and is therefore above and beyond the call of duty for a politician). Will this decision be based off of popular opinion? … No. Will it be based off of important insider information that only the president and a few others have access to? ....Cool but no. Will it be decided on my political affiliation showing support and respect to those that helped me to get in my current position? ….Well, no because I have forgotten ‘them’ and those little people can die in a festering pool of “buyer’s remorse” for all I care. Will it be because I don’t really care and just picked a side at random without considering the consequences of my actions both malignant and benign because this issue only affects other people that I care nothing about? DING DING DING! At this point my popularity will fall and people will start holding pathetic little demonstrations upon which I seriously consider releasing rubber Nuclear Weapons! (Have I made my point yet about disliking politicians yet or should I go a little further?) Anyway, that’s history for you, and by association it is also apparently the future so GET USED TO IT!

Luvs!
