Christmas 2007, Done and gone.
Well, another Chirstmas has come and gone and like the ones before our house paid the price. Who the hell comes over to your house, spills fruit punch and then doesn't at least tell you about it.
At least we found it after it ruined some photographs, so there is that bonus!
Although I must admit that my favorite part was:
Someone had set a drink down, right next to their chair, which happened to be right next to the halway where the kids were playing. One of the girls knocked the drink over and they asked for some paper towels to clean it up. I went over and cleaned it up and asked someone to get a cup. Everyone stood there looking at me like I was crazy.
I had to get up from cleaning up the mess, walk back into the kitchen, get a cup, come back and get the ice that was spilled, then clean up the rest of the mess.
Its funny; but no one seems to get why I hate people!

November 4, 2008...
As of today there are 321 days until less than half of registered US voters head to the poles and cast their hardly thought out votes commonly along party lines. The exciting news for everyone is that were already well into having to hear about all the different people that want to replace GW as the leader of the "free" world.
Now, over the last eight years Bush has spent a lot of time praying for the safe return of soldiers around the world while actually doing very little about it. Ok, ok, it’s not just him but everyone in the federal government is praying for their safe return but effectively spending their time complaining about how the war is being run or about how the democrats are complaining about how the war is being run while not actually providing for the safety of the troops.
Now the truth of the matter is that the situation in Iraq is not as bad as the media made it out to be, the majority of the country is quite safe (much like wandering around 8 mile in Detroit is safe). However, a lot of people have died (not us US citizens but the unknown number of Iraq citizens) while we are bringing freedom and safety to an area that, well... lets face it... does not really want to be safe.
The Middle East is loaded with countries that are like family. They have been fighting since the day the first two guys found oil. Add onto that the fact that Europeans have constantly been going over there and trying to take over. The crusades, World War I, World War II, The Roman Empire, France, England, Establishment of a free Jewish homeland, the current events, and I am sure I am forgetting plenty of visits from "the white man."
So here we are, after invading Iraq to get the weapons of mass destruction - which it turns out seem to be in North Korea. Of course we will never invade them because China would just be cranky about it; and that would be bad. We were ready to invade Iran as well; I could almost taste the need to invade them, to show them it was wrong to be making nuclear weapons.
Then we discovered they weren't. Good thing our information gathering is right on top of things. It would have been horrible to go in and discover that an evil country wasn't doing what we said they were doing...
So, here we are with all the new presidential hopefuls. Promising to make the world a better place once again while I sit around and wonder why we are constantly trying to improve the world when all we really need to do is step back and stop fucking it up.
The good news is that our choices this time around are a lot better than they have been in the past elections. The bad news is that the best two choices may not have a chance since one is black and the other is female. Let’s face it; if the country is not ready to allow gay couples to have the same right to a 50% divorce rate then the country is certainly not ready to be run by a female or a black man.
Sad to say because this is the Democrat's best chance to get the Whitehouse with the weak showing from the Republicans; but like Eminem say's, it is White America.
