Border Patrol Idiots.....
Jeb and "the brown ones" are sitting at home on the couch with Grandpa Bush and Bar, watching their young idiot son trying hard not to sneer (the intensive non-sneering coaching is almost starting to pay off...Too bad he cant actually move his eyes a little wider apart physically somehow, that creep!) as he reveals a plan that doesn't seem much like a plan and more like a skim the surface of something that is gonna screw not only American workers but the slave workers that he is giving to his big corporate cronies...The Bush family's use of the few "brown ones" amongst them is pathetic and pandering, as if to show how nice they are to their maids and nannies...We even married one!!...And his Spanish sucks...So there!
Olberman immediately said that there were no details to the "plan," which was what I just said, and then he had to defer to Chris Matthews to try to decipher what the hell the plan consists of, as if Chris knows anything beyond his careful go-with-the-flowing-crap, which ensures that he has carefully ridden the side of the fence with the best numbers all along....a worker identification card (tamper proof like the voting machines, don't you know...) and making it illegal for corporations to hire immigrants without the cards. Isn't that sort of reminiscent of something like a...a...green card? Yes! Its a new green card, but its an ACME made one that explodes if you tamper with it! So, of course the immigrants wont be able to counterfeit it...Nope...And if maybe a suicide bomber or two make a coat out of the ones that fall off the plane load likely to be stolen right away, well, we can start again....No paper trail? No problem!! We don't need no stinking paper trails!
Did I tell you yet about the new Halliburton tamper proof card corporation? They have this cool new explosive technology!
OK...So, the big deal is the card...And someone is getting a kickback on this....And it wont work. For this he preempted TV?
What Bush really doesn't want to talk about is that he is going to send the National Guard to patrol the border. We have hardly any National guardsman available and hurricane season is once again upon us! The Guard equipment is still in Iraq and the military is stretched to breaking. The levees have not been fixed in the coastal areas that are in danger, the weather patterns are getting harder and harder to predict, and we know that there is a disaster coming.
There is no way to do Iraq, border patrol, natural disaster preparedness, and the possibility of Iran, without a draft or without pulling out of Iraq at least partially.
The one thing that Matthews said that makes sense in all of this is that Bush doesn't have much of a problem with the Democrats (as far as Durban's Dem reply goes.) But, that his real problem and argument is with his conservative base. Ha, ha, is all I have to say about that!
If it wasn't so dangerous and scary, it would be sort of funny to just stand back and let them spiral down.
But, I keep thinking of bloated dead people floating down the street in New Orleans, and how badly things are still there now. The real danger that New York City could be hit by a storm just as destructive is terrifying, and it hit home here last year when there were severe wind storms that overwhelmed responders and people were without electricity for over a week, while trees blocked main streets and roads, and crushed houses sat for days and days. No one came, and it was a big wake up call.
My friends at the firehouse up the street say that basically, in this very wealthy area, if there is any sort of even mild disaster, we are screwed. They cant handle much more than one housefire at a time, much less a disease outbreak or huge storm. Add to that our close neighbor, the Indian Point Nuclear plant and...Yes, we are screwed....Just like people all over the country.
Something that is incredibly disconcerting is how out of touch with America Bush is. How can his advisors not tell him that he is preempting the finale of Grey's Anatomy, and most importantly disrupting Prison Break and 24!!! For christ's sake...those of us who are behind and taping these things have now had to readjust all of the the VCRs in the house....I want a TiVo!!...2 or 3 TiVo's! And off goes Bush leaving me with Howie Mandell and his suitcases of money or not....
How sick is that?
Above are some pictures from the highlight of our trip to Baltimore, which was the Aquarium/Australia/birds exhibit thing in the harbor. I wish I could make that trip (or any trip,) sometime without moody kids with a plan of their own.
The hotel was so great...Maybe Ill live in one of those full service luxury apartment buildings one day, that is part condo, part hotel....I guess I cant stand to have people (servants) around, and I'm always all tied up in tipping and weather I do it enough or right ...And why are these people serving me anyway?...So maybe not. Its just so nice to have someone bringing coffee and tea in the morning and making the bed....
One thing that really gets me when I travel outside of my bubble is how many people are traveling for fun and experience, and how badly everyone seems to eat; how uncomfortable they are and unable to breathe, and yet they keep eating. I had a hell of a time finding anything that I could eat at all. There was much fudge and fried this and that, which I just cant get myself to stomach...So I grabbed salad here and there...And thank GOD Starbucks is everywhere! I felt very crowded and hot out there in the mass of tourists and, there was the issue of an electric harbor boat that one could rent...I wanted to see how far I could get but was shot down by sourpass boys who had other plans.
I guess I got pretty far, all in all, considering the traffic, accidents, and lines.
I love my EZ Pass!
In more trying matters,
Will has been really sick from some medicine that he is now off of, but its made things a little harrowing the past few days. I somehow muddle through whatever I have to, and I'm pretty strong and level headed about things, but this has been frightening. Sometimes everything seems very fragile in life... sometimes it all hits the fan at once.
...The traffic was horrible and there were gas lines in NJ like I haven't seen since the 70's. But then, the gas was only $2.76 on the highway and $3.19 in town, which I would have gladly taken to avoid the 40 minute lines....But I was gonna run out of gas. Oh well.
Anyway Toto, there's no place like home...Tomorrow is definitely gonna be better, and I cant wait to see my birds!
