Sleep: How I long for thee...

[wednes]

What with uterdic being out of town, I had another of my festive gatherings last night. Lots of people showed up including psychswitch and madush69 and a good time was had by all. Sans S were absinthofheart and nate101000; and we were even blessed with a visit from mike21478. We did some Mad Libs that, as usual ended up being Pants-Peeing funny. Plus I learned that while Dominoes pizza is in fact, The Devil, that philly cheesesteak pizza thingy is damn good. By 3:30 in the am, everyone was gone and I was trying hard to sleep.

For some reason, my belly button was bleeding this morning.
Not quite sure what's up with that...

This mornings paper had a headline about The Patriot Act being used against non-terrorist suspects. And for some reason, people are surprised. "Gee, measure desinged to strip suspects of those pesky constitutional rights is being used for less than altruistic reasons?" You don't fucking say!
So...the same fatcat white males who live crooked lives and weasel out of thier illegal shit are now abusing powers they never should have been given in the first place???

Maybe this is just the Dr. Strangelove talking, but I hate government. I hate that a coke-head president wants to appear "tough on drugs" when had the law been applied equally to him, he'd still be in prison. I hate that we are lied to and deceived by our elected leaders, and that the mainstream media coddles these assholes and prints their fucking press releases instead of fighting to bring truth to the american people, like they are supposed to do!
As much as Michael Moore irritates me, I kind of wish he were running things, at least until I turn 35 and can do it myself...

I have always hated the 'War on Drugs' mentality... it's so hypocritical and just seems like an easy way for politicians to have some issue to flog that gives the government abusive power and lots of dollars. And of course the handy powers granted by the 'War on Terror' will be used and abused widely, and probably never scaled back. The Libertarian Party hasn't even named a candidate for the 2004 Presidential election yet, but whoever it is will very likely have my vote. Not that one vote is a big deal.

I hear that...libertarians make more sense to me every year...even though I also support national health care.

But...

I think that whole 9/11 thing was a scam perpetrated by the Busch administration; along with thier business assocates the Bin Laden family. It was a publicity stunt for approval ratings that went terribly awry when the towers fell down completely instead of being mildly damaged. And afterwards they has instilled enough fear into americans (helped along by the mainstream media) to bully them into keeping silent while they pass measures restricting the basic liberties america is known for.
