Slick Vick

I don't know, I feel like anybody who served his time in the pokie deserves to get a second shot at anything. Politics, acting, construction, engineering, whatever. Yeah, even sex offenders. But sentence them appropriately. I don't have a problem giving rapists (not necessarily statutory) life in prison. But never let them out if sentenced to life. Life should mean life.

Sooooo, I don't have a problem with Vick playing football again. He did his time. I don't think he should be allowed to own a pet, but we have to let people make a living. Either that or send every parolee to somewhere in remote Alaska and let them fend for themselves.

Sarah Smile

I know a few people who seem to have the same disposition as Sarah Palin. I don't know her, but I've seen her type. The type who criticize more than construct. The type who dismiss others' opinions as spiteful while spitting their own vitriol. The kind who wave off observations with a "you don't understand and you never will."

Of course people don't understand if Sarah doesn't explain. I think Eminem used the same line about observations of his music. "Those who get it get it and those who don't don't." Well effin' explain it to me. I speak English.

Anyway, I'm interested to see how bright her star shines after she's out of the spotlight for a few months. I'm hoping it dulls quickly and somebody with something to contribute steps up and fills the void that is being created by some of the older conservative leaders.

Good luck, Sarah. I hope you've learned something

Happy Birthday to Her

From her many, many men.

I wonder if she really loved me at all. Almost everything she told me was a lie. We had a great time together, but she was always for show. If it made her look good then she'd say it. I miss her, but it wasn't worth it.

The Silent Treatment

A couple guys at work were told to take down their anti-Obama cartoons from their cube walls. These guys are in their 30s. One of them hasn't talked to me at all since May, when they were told. He's convinced that I made his boss break it down to him. If he'd talk to me he'd know that I wasn't the only one who said the cartoons weren't appropriate for work, but he's not talking. He did say good morning the other day, but he doesn't swing by my cube like he used to. Don't get me wrong, I'm not sweating it. I think it's kinda pathetic that a grown man is upset because he was told do not do something that he shouldn't have been doing. Freedom of speech doesn't extend into the workplace. If he knew what he was talking about maybe I'd have some respect. But, for instance, he had a cartoon of Obama standing next to Karl Marx. Well, he should know that Obama isn't a Marxist, or even a Communist. He's a socialist (small case). But that's okay, because we already live in a socialist country. Even Republicans in this country are socialists. Not as far left as Europeans (some are further right than Gorbachev) but socialists nonetheless.

But the thing is...the boss had the final say. If he bothered to talk maybe he'd learn something.

I've lost better friends over smaller deals. I'm just surprised that someone his age is so childish.
