Sleep: How I long for thee...
What with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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 love Nolan. *pets doggie*
I thank Heaven that I got a job at Madstone and met nice people. I actually feel human and social when I hang with you folks. I haven't seen my friend Robert (from High School) in at least two years. My friend Jarrod (from Specs Howard) lives in California, and my cousin Chris works too much, and actually enjoys setting aside time to spend with his super-nice wife. Bless us Madstoners and adjacent stoners...you guys truly truly rock.

A few years ago, this guy was not allowed to be appointed to the Supreme Court because he has smoked pot in grad school. Yet a coke head can be the commander in chief?
Ludicrous.

Have you heard of the recently-proposed VICTORY Act (http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/WorldNewsTonight/victory_act030820.html)?

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.

Re: a headline about The Patriot Act
Treating minor drug offenders like terrorists just doesn't make sense from any reasonable angle. Legalizing, then taxing drugs would be far better than spending taxpayer money prosecuting otherwise law abiding citizens and creating a "war" that is as usless and impossible as emptying the ocean with a teaspoon.
And I hate how they give them "american" sounding names...Victory over what--freedom?
