Tuesday Tinkerings

So Bush thinks (!) that Congress should hurry to give him a bill that he plans on vetoing so they can get down to business and fund his little war. This isn't about funding the troops, otherwise they would already have appropriate armor and vehicles, it's about his determined belief that he's in charge and that no one else matters. Not Congress and certainly not the American people. Counting the days, what a wanker. This isn't a Terri Schiavo kind of situation and you don't have that kind of clout anymore. Perhaps anger management classes would help with perspective.

Have you seen the Stress Eraser? Sounds like it might work, but the stress of accumulating the sales price might do one in. How about a nice mood ring instead?

This woman should have been included in my list of women that I admired, but I had never heard of her until today. Charlotte Winters passed away at the age of 109, one of the first women to serve iin the Navy and one of the last remaining veterans of WWI. Now there are three. Rest in peace.

Shamelessly lifted from Vitae, a slightly different view of surfing the internet.

***warning*** if you are reading this then this warning is for you. every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. don't you have other things to do? is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all who claim it? do you read everything you're supposed to read? do you think everything you're supposed to think? buy what you're told you should want? get out of your apartment. meet a member of the opposite sex. stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. quit your job. start a fight. prove you're alive. if you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. you have been warned......tyler

This going to sound so dismissive and I don't want it to be, but isn't it nice to be young and see the world in such clear terms? I surf the internet because it is faster and more informative than the nightly news. And because I don't have to deal with arrogant whippersnappers in person.
