Tough times call for stupidity...

Monday, October 13, 2008

Wow! I was in such a good mood this morning - the realization that I had tons of 'real work' to do and that I was going to be allowed to do so in relative calm and peace caused such a feeling that I thought, "man, I'm actually giddy with excitement!!!" lol Then it happened -

I was in the front room, folding clothes to deliver to my sleepy heads when the news started in, blasting me with all of the warmth of an arctic storm! :(

I'm so sick of the candidates, the weather, the problems that people like O.J. Simpson are having, news that Paris Hilton has feelings and emotions like the rest of us, and disaster after disaster - but the stock market and the 'bail out' are just flat out pissing me off!
When one of my many bill collectors call and viciously harass me for payment can I tell them, "Hey, my tax dollars are bailing your butt out, so quit calling me, unless you want to say 'Thanks!'" After all, it said that we will be infusing the bailee's with billions of dollars to help them out!?
But NO! Ever since the news hit that these unfortunate victims of tough times are going to get this tremendous boost in the financial arm, I've been inundated with phone call after phone call of debt collectors that want their money, NOW!
Everyone wants the Iraqi people to be grateful that we're 'saving' them, so why wouldn't I want the financial institutions to be grateful that we're 'saving' THEM?!?
We're suffering and losing our homes and retirement funds, and no one's running to help us!? Bush says that "we have to sit down and work this out together..." but I haven't received an email or phone call from him? And what exactly does his new catch-phrase mean anyway? Is HE going to be tightening the 'ol belt buckle and chipping in? Are our law makers, candidates, congressmen/women, and state government heads going to be taking a pay cut? Are they at risk of losing everything?
Hey guys/gals I need a bail out too! But it's not because I mishandled my funds - it's because I've had to try to live amongst the chaos that you've created, and you've taken away my funds so now there's nothing to save!
It's time for answers. And no, McCain, I'm NOT "your friend." I hate that phrase he's using! lol I was so excited about Palin - she was 'one of us'; a mother, a woman, a sensible soul - but, no, I guess I was wrong in that assumption... they're all the same - and as good as Obama talks, he's ingenuine too... I'm going to vote for Homer Simpson and wish that Andy Taylor were running!
I guess that's it for my rant - I've run out of time, energy, and am just flat too depressed about it all to keep on - isn't that the way they want us? Too tired and depressed to fight what they're doing?? Spirit broken and homeless? I'm beginning to think that that might be a fact...
