It's Been Awhile
I know, its been awhile, you have all missed me so much.
I just have a few things I would like to say. First of all, even though I think Rush Limbaugh is an a**hole, and a significant threat to our country, I am going to make you all gasp out loud right now...
I think what the Sheriff's office did to him at the airport is disgusting. They should not have released to the public that Rush was carrying Viagra. It is embarrassing, and a violation of his privacy. Its a shame, he obviously went through the trouble to not have his name on the pill bottle so as to avoid the embarrassment of the public knowing that he needed to take Viagra. Just because he is a public person, does not mean he should be subjected to this embarrassment and harassment. Yes I said harassment. I think the sheriff's office might have it in for him, and that's not right.
I know I have traveled through airports and condensed some various prescription pills into one bottle, and I would be pretty pissed off if they gave me a hard time about it. That is private, and I don't really think that policing small bottles of prescription drugs that don't have your name on it is something the TSA needs to be concentrating on in these times. Once again priorities are all out of wack.
Along those lines, why in the hell, with everything going on in the world these days, does the congress deem it necessary to take up a flag burning amendment to the constitution? What the hell?! We face numerous hugely important issues that need to be addressed, yet our elected officials are debating a flag burning amendment?! What is wrong with these people? No matter what side of the debate you are on, you must admit that this is just stupid to waste precious time on. I just can't believe it.
And then there was this today: Top court upholds most of Texas redistricting plan
But no one cares. As long as it didn't work to the disadvantage of the Republicans, they won't say anything, and the Democrats apparently can't say anything themselves. Just another example of the deterioration of our democracy.

"The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld almost all of a bitterly contested Texas congressional map engineered by then-Rep. Tom DeLay to help solidify Republican control of the U.S. House of Representatives."That's too bad. They are basically opening the door to allow congressional districts to be redrawn whenever it is politically convenient. This effectively makes the drawing of congressional lines a distinctly political maneuver, when it should be exactly the opposite, it should be a tool to evenly divide a state's population into congressional districts, so that every person is equally represented in the United States House of Representatives.
But no one cares. As long as it didn't work to the disadvantage of the Republicans, they won't say anything, and the Democrats apparently can't say anything themselves. Just another example of the deterioration of our democracy.

Rep Bud: "Rush, the great voice of truth and reason in America"
HAHAHA!! Thank you very much you had me laughing my ass off as soon as I read that. Thanks for the laugh, it was great, now back to reality, Rush is a terrible terrible hate mongerer and the fact that he has so many listeners makes me sick.
But as for the other stuff, I am glad we can agree on some issues.
