“I was an atheist until I realized I was GOD!”

I found this saying somewhere online.  I guess it has a couple of different meanings depending upon your viewpoint.  I think I’ll live by this saying from now on.  Sounds good to me.

So, Osama Barrack, or whatever his name is has said he abused coke, pot, and alcohol in the past.  This is fabulous.  I think I shall now vote for him.  It’s kewl to have a president who knows how to party.

IT’S IMPORTANT TO THINK ABOUT YOUR ACTIONS EFFECT OTHERS! Here’s a great article I found on Perez. This guy sums up how MANY people  feel.

The LA Times just published the following email from Dale Alexander, a key grip on The Office, which puts the severity of this strike into clear perspective.It reads:”Our show was shut down and we were all laid off this week. I’ve been watching the news since the WGA strike was announced and I have yet to see any coverage dedicated to the effect that this strike will have on the below the line employees.I respect the WGA’s position. They probably do deserve a larger percentage of profit participation, but a lengthy strike will affect more than just the writers and studios. On my show we had 14 writers. There were also 2 cameramen, 2 camera assistants, 4 hair stylists, 4 makeup artists, 7 wardrobe people, 4 grips, 4 electricians, 2 craft service, 4 props people, 6 construction, 1 medic, 3 art department, 5 set dressers, 3 sound men, 3 stand-ins, 2 set PAs, 4 assistant directors, 1 DGA trainee, 1 unit manager, 6 production office personnel, 3 casting people, 4 writers assistants, 1 script supervisor, 2 editors, 2 editors assistants, 3 post production personnel, 1 facilities manager, 8 drivers, 2 location managers, 3 accountants, 4 caterers and a producer who’s not a writer. All 102 of us are now out of work.I have been in the motion picture business for 33 years and have survived three major strikes. None of which have been by any of the below the line unions. During the 1988 WGA strike many of my friends lost their homes, cars and even spouses. Many actors are publicly backing the writers, some have even said that they would find a way to help pay bills for the striking writers. When the networks run out of new shows and they air repeats the writers will be paid residuals. The lowest paid writer in television makes roughly twice the salary than the below the line crewmember makes. Everyone should be paid their fair share, but does it have to be at the expense of the other 90% of the crewmembers. Nobody ever recoups from a strike, lost wages are just that, lost.We all know that the strike will be resolved. Eventually both sides will return to the bargaining table and make a deal. The only uncertainty is how many of our houses, livelihoods, college educations and retirement funds will pay for it.”

Tonight, as I was watching Survivor and eating peanut butter cupcakes, I realized what the problem was with America.  During tonight’s episode there was a femme nerdy guy named Anthony who was in a tribe with a bunch of macho freaks.  He was treated like shit by this Boston douche Rocky.  When tribal counsil came around Anthony was voted out because he wasn’t like the others.  He was a nice guy who didn’t cause trouble, but because he wasn’t a macho asshole like the others he got voted out. 

This is basically how our country is run.  All of the bullies take charge and everyone else has to smile and bend over otherwise they don’t get to play in the reindeer games.  Stop it!  Everyone STAND UP AND LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!  Don’t let the loud mouthed minority continue to run our country.  We are being brainwashed.  As long as we continue to drive our BMWs and Mercedes Benz then we think everything is OK.  It isn’t.  Get informed.  Educated yourself.  Get a voice.  Get a clue as to what the government is doing.

A long time ago the wise Roseanne said (and I paraphrase, ‘cuz I don’t remember the exact quote) that if every mother around the world would stop her son from joining the army and just locked him in a closet then there would be no war.  This is what I don’t understand.  A little extreme, but true.  But, honestly, why doesn’t every mother in the world teach her son what is wrong with war?  Teach her son to have empathy and compassion?  Teach her son that love is the right way?  Where are all of the mothers of the world?  Why don’t they all stand up and speak?  Why doesn’t every mother in America who has a son at war march on Washington and demand that their children are sent home immediately?

STAND UP PEOPLE AND DEMAND PEACE!  TAKE BACK AMERICA!  THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!  SEARCH FOR IT!  FIND IT!
