He's so Irresponsible and Stupid that, if he had a toddler, He'd Probably Encourage the kid to Drink Red Bull (AND other random Musings on this "Just Another Manic" Monday)
Is anyone else troubled that the president is encouraging people to behave in a completely foolish (if not reckless) manner regarding the upcoming tax rebates? We’re a country of citizens who overindulge constantly, especially when it comes to buying things we cannot afford. It’d be nice if the president thought of the nation’s long-term interest instead of the short-term crap about keeping the economy booming along. Yes, it sucks that we’re most likely headed for a recession, but in the long-run, wouldn’t it be better if Americans started acting fiscally responsible instead of continuing to spend like a bunch of drunken sailors the night before being shipped off to battle? Hell, if we learned some fiscal discipline, maybe our leaders would actually take notice and follow our lead. Yeah, probably not, but it’s worth a shot.
I saw The Other Boleyn Sister over the weekend. I’ll post a review later this week. In the interim, I’ll tease my review by quoting one of the greatest cartoon characters ever, Yosemete Sam. “I like[d] it, I like[d] it!” Of course, I actually am being serious when I say, “I like[d] it.” When Yosemete Sam uttered those words (in Daffy Duck’s Fantastic Island), he was lying to Bugs Bunny in an attempt to keep “that stupid rabbit” from taking away Sam’s inheritance. That was one of the best cartoons ever made. You did see it, yes?
I absolutely LOVE when we turn the clocks forward one hour! How awesome was it to see daylight after seven last night! Coworker #1, hahahahahaha, you stupid [he knows the rest – it has to do with his religion]. Soon, you’ll be gone, Winter, and I say, "Good riddance!"
I was at a basketball game over the weekend and a man sitting next to me stole my pen when I wasn’t looking. It was a really cheap pen so I didn’t say anything. However, may a thousand starving squirrels mistake that man’s testicles for peanuts each remaining day of 2008.

I read that a Roper poll showed 50% of Americans are going to use that tax rebate to pay down credit debt, 30% are going to put it into savings, and only 20% are actually planning to spend it.
Good intentions, but we'll just see how it all works out.

As I'm not a fan of the current administration I cannot comment ;-)
