The Bleeding Edge of Reality

…you hold up three lanes of 40MPH traffic only to cut across all of them to get to a fucking liquor store.

Yesterday I was on my way to the CoLo to bounce my border router when, for no apparent reason, traffic suddenly came to nearly a halt. It’s about 4:30pm on a Sunday, and there’s no reason for traffic to back up. I can see ahead that it’s moving, but slowly, and lots of brake lights. “No consequence to me” I think as I get into the far right lane, which is the onramp for I-5 south. Suddenly, out of nowhere, this fucking red piece of shit pretending to be a road-worthy vehicle shoots across two lanes of traffic, ACROSS THE ONRAMP ENTRANCE, in an attempt to get into the LIQUOR STORE PARKING LOT! If that weren’t bad enough, this asshole HAMMERS HIS/HER BRAKES as they hit the very slightly sloped entrance, as if they were going to fall apart upon hitting it! I’m talking about a VERY slight slope…you could have hit that thing at 40MPH and not flinched, but no. This dumbass comes to a complete fucking stop, sideways across traffic, I suspect in order to not spill their last PBR on the “bump”.

So, as this addict limping his/her POS truck up the 3% grade into the liquor store parking lot, I noticed the license plate is from WISCONSIN!! Wisconsin: The Land Time Forgot. Blech. For all those that thought there were lots of stupid folks ANYWHERE ELSE, you’ve never been to Wisconsin. This is a place where they hassle, arrest, violate rights, and persecute anyone who doesn’t hold dear the far right conservative values of the good ol’ boys network that makes up the “government” there. Cops, lawyers, judges…they’re all in on it.

However, I digresss…it’s no wonder this asshole needed to get to the liquor store quickly, likely to forget that much faster what a shithole state they came from.

So, Bush was going to show Europeans a “kinder, gentler face to the world” in his second term. What better way to get that ball rolling than putting Paul “The Architect” Wolfowitz in as HEAD OF WORLD BANK!! If there’s any possible way to show a softer side of world domination, it would be to put the primary architect of the Iraq war and subsequent occupation in as the head of World Bank. Imagine…Dubbya gets a puppet of his own! Well, not really. Wolfowitz will simply be another tool (yep, I said tool…) in the quest for control of the world cash. Does anyone believe Bush will keep his own policies separate from World Bank, or that there will be no influence there? I’m sure the third world countries which rely on World Bank for their very existance are “thrilled” with the Bush choice. The Muslims are certainly cheering at the gesture offered up by Bush to show that there’s no motive for world domination! Why, how could anyone misinterpret this “nomination” as anything but the best candiate for the job?

Blech. The world has got to be coming to an end sooner than later. This is getting out of hand, and all but the completely blind can see what’s happening here. Wolfowitz as head of World Bank is tantamount to suggesting an international memorial to Hitler’s compassion for the human race.

The rich keep getting richer, and the poor keep getting poorer…

…and the ladies are showing their bellybuttons.

Walking downtown Portland on my break today, the weather is unseasonably gorgeous for March, and there are an uncountable number of beautiful gals, business gals in shorter skirts, young chicks in VERY short skirts, etc… Showing off some leg, and just looking fine. I love it…but…

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH SOME OF YOU?!?!!? Honestly, I don’t have a problem with overweight folks, “fat chicks”, etc, etc…hey, being a human being means you’re gonna be unique, and not everyone is “euro-hot”. HOWEVER, this doesn’t grant you a license to find the tightest “hot pink” spandex tighties and a fucking halter top, wedge yourself into them, and parade around in public as if there is no freakshow going on!! This is just obscene, and there should be a law to protect those who would otherwise have their eyes defiled and our psyches permanetly scarred with images of what would seem to defy the very laws of physics by which we all must abide. HUGE images. Disturbing images. Horrible images.

As someone who’s overweight, do yourself and the rest of the world a favor and find some clothes that fit. I get it, it’s hot out there. Wear some shorts that don’t climb up your ass and form a fucking perma-wedgie. Wear a shirt that doesn’t fit so tightly that it qualifies as a “dehydration suit” and show every stretch mark and roll. Wear clothes that fit for fux sake!!

Now where did I put that valium…
