You know what really makes me tired? Republicans that get to screw their brains out and keep their Senate positions (Like Vitter from Louisiana) and then Anthony Weiner has to resign because he acted like a dumb-ass with twitter and other social media. Never touched anyone, by the way.
Newt Gingrich is running for President again, even though he has screwed over more women than a moneybags businessman in a red light district.
Why is it that when Democrats screw up they may as well lie down and wait for the bus while Republicans do tap dances in Minnesota bathrooms, solicit underage pages, and pay off their victims with money from their freaking parents but we don't hear about that ad nauseum. But Anthony Weiner, a champion for the disenfranchised and the elderly and those who don't have a voice gets hosed because he exercised crappy self control.
I'm tired of the double standard. Tom DeLay is indicted and gets to appear on "Dancing with the Stars" and is convicted and still does interviews as though he's a credible pundit on ANYTHING. Sara Palin quits halfway through her governorship because she's not getting all the attention she wants and she's a media get! Out of wedlock grandchild, manipulation scandals...all that stuff is forgiven again and agian.
I'm so tired of giving a shit when nobody else does. I'm so tired and I'm not yet ready to say that the Reagan plan of destroying education and dumbing down this country so that it could be convinced to be ignorant and afraid has come to fruition and it's too late. I fear this but I'm not yet willing to concede. But, BOY, am I tired. Add to that corporate personhood and it's just overwhelming. I have health issues. It's tough enough for me to keep up with recycling and now I have all this crap to take on plus it's an election year. And I've never had a vacation.
Multiply me by all the people who still read, pay attention and care. Just think how tired we are - while the ignorant just worry about crossing against traffic in the median and getting to Walmart. Just like the Neo-Cons hoped they would, so long ago.
"Good night and good luck." Two of my heroes used that sign off. And then my favorite from Kurt Vonnegut: "And so it goes."
A myriad of rambling thoughts and ideas from an old broad who has been there, done that, bought the T-shirt and threw it away a long time ago. However, this old broad still has a lot to say. Here we go...
