sometimes i just hate this place...

elections are upon us...here in florida...literally the stupidest place on earth...the scum are motivated...they want change...what kind of change...i don't know you tell me...i mean really ...you TELL them...cause the huddled masses here in the sunshine state...don't have a brain between them...we have two mega rich scumbags trying to buy public office here...one from each party...neither has a lick of experience in government...they have outspent the "career politicians" by millions of bucks...i love the this new disenfranchised voter group...they want the old guard out...hey so do i...but i don't want them replaced by the new foxenfrancised un informed conservatives...these are not your dads conservatives,,,these are the haters...they hate...blacks, latinos, gays, europeans, muslims, the poor, i actually heard a guy say lets drug test all the welfare recipients...cause if they are taking our money ...i wanna know if they on drugggs...they poor, they ain't white...they must be on drugs... love it..."close the borders...keep them damn mexicans from taking our jobs...seriously do you think a guy who owns a lawn care company wouldn't rather have men who spoke his language working for him...but we are too good to work for $10 an hour...
"my opponent took Obama stimulus money"...he supported bailing out the banks...look everyone knows the financial business is rife with assholes and dickheads...but bank collapse...seriously...can you imagine what would have happened if the pres hadn't supported the "stringless" bush money...if he hadn't stepped in...remmeber these are the rich we are talking about.. they don't care if you lost your ira or your 401k...they laughed at the hypercritical senators.... pretending ire ..
the new idiots believe that they will someday inherit the keys to the kingdom...they wanna drill, they wanna kill, they want more guns and less laws that restrict their personal liberty...i truly wonder where my country went...when i travel i used to be embarrassed to be american...but nobody really hates us anymore...they just laugh at us...we are a fuckin mess... how is it that people a world away can see, what we as a nation can't quite get...we have a bright, intelligent, insightful president...who has a vision for all of us...not just the 1% who have all the money...at home the state of Missouri...71% of the show me state...voted to not except the national healthcare plan...45% of these people have no insurance...and another 20% are under insured... but they say no...kinda like pushing the life preserver away when your drowning...why because sarah palin and glen beck have replaced jimmy carter and walter crockite as the seers of our future...they just make shit up...no basis in fact... just what the haters want to hear...and here in florida...well we have a legislature so corrupt that any action to curb the overt greed...is simply dismissed... even the appearance of propriety is tossed aside..." i work for bp...why would i vote for an oil drilling ban supported by 75% of floridians"... truth is truth...you may not like it...but it stands alone in its simplicity...as carlin said" there is a club in this country...and you and I ain't in it...

    Thanks for this, Keith, such a relief to see another Floridian speak out against the incredibly frightening guys running for office here. There is so little being said about it! Scott pisses me off the most - how he is running on the platform of being against our President, how he shows photos of other candidates with Obama as if that's a terrible thing. The thought of having to watch his googly-eyed smirking face for any longer than this election makes me want to gag. But that's what big bucks can do - face recognition so the uninformed can think they know a candidate's character. Scary. Glad to read that you're speaking out on all o' this!

irritation to this old man's sandy taint

As I age, i find that I am far less accepting of life's little faux pas.  I am surly.  I growl. I snap at unsuspecting irritants.  I look in the mirror and see  what my life has pulled down on me.  Wrinkles, saddle bags, hair in very strange palaces.  I expect things...simple things to proceed as planned.  If my cellular bill, for example, is due on the 24th, I expect it to be taken out on that date. Not the 21st, because it falls on a weekend.  And when I call the huge multi-national  corporation, which I hate, to question why this simple act, cannot happen...when i question the scripted autonoton on the other end of the line...when i point out that the weekend constitutes no variation to a computer tasked with taking that money on the date in question...I am told, snubbingly, that that's how it works...I point out that the computer has no weekend plans, no beach party to attend, no dinner plans with friends.  That in fact the only fucking thing that this program, written for

Today is your memorial service.  Today your friends gather at historic Gracie's to tell tales, laugh and drink to your memory.  I worked for Gracie, thanks to you, sneaky Pete and Steve.  Its fitting, a legendary spot, to pay tribute to the man that inspired me and unknown others to go chase our dreams.  I loved when we cooked together and I found my passion, standing next to you.  You shared your love and unfathomably incredible knowledge of music with me.  I found Jason Ricci, Eric Lindell, Los Lobos and David Migden in our "MO, wait till you hear this moments".  I endured your love of all things Zappa and I survived Zappa torture.  To those unfamiliar with this, it involved the can, copious amounts of inhaleables and song after song of your archives. Songs stopped only by you, translating the nuances that a rookie like me, most certainly missed.  The only rescue was SuSu and her, "honey enough! his eyes are glazed over and he has to drive up the hill". We s
