A few links to piss you off.

I'm no Kerstin, I can't do the research and write eloquently about the insanity of this world and the disgusting state of our own nation, but I don't have to. I can just link you to

Oh, and I recently read David Brock's Blinded by the Right and am looking forward to his latest book, expanding on his experience in the right-wing media: The Republican Noise Machine. We've all heard it, and unfortunately it has become so effective and so damn loud, shrill and relentless, it echoes in the empty heads of the so called "liberal media", until it is no longer LImbaugh/O'Reilly/talk radio tinfoil hat shit, but "news." They've trained the newspoodles to bark to their tune, because, hell, it beats actually investigating, that's too much like work.

I'm so tired, and it's 73 degrees in my house and yet I am cold and sitting here drinking decaf coffee to warm up. I hope I am not getting sick, like EVERYBODY Else in my damn office. If I catch the world-class crud the Boss has (he's been out for days and still sounds like hell) I'm going to be SO pissed. I have to finish painting this weekend/upcoming week, the new carpet goes down on Saturday the 8th. I suspended painting activity in favor of eating, drinking and shopping while the Girlchild was here, but it's time to get back to it. And right now, I just want to go to bed at 7. I don't feel sick, just unnaturally tired. I hope a good night's sleep fixes it.
