You know, i'm still super peeved the Bush2 started the Iraq war on
MYFUCKINGBIRTHDAY 8 years ago. It was the one thing the Obama actually
had over Bushy. He didn't start any wars on my birthday. Till today.
But really, I don't need bombs over Libya to celebrate 36. A nice
bottle of spanish cava, gift certificates for bedding and cookeware,
or if you really want to be extravagant a jobs program, but bombing
yet another fucking country for humanitarian( read oil) reasons is a
gift I can neither use nor return. March 19th really needs to stop
being your go to date for bombing.

It's funny cause it's true
seen on facebook this morning: What's the difference between our big
interstate banks and a mafia skimming organization? The mafia doesn't
have atms.

We've always been at war with East Asia
In my addled brain I managed to forget the other big important thing
that today represents.
It's the anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq war. 8 years in, no
end in sight. Shock and awe and mission accomplished. Do you think at
the Democratic convention in 2012 that the Obots chanting 4 more years
will be chanting it for Obama or for MOAR WAR!!!!!!!

next it will be illegal for us poor folks to breathe the air
go read the So That's What They Meant By The War On Poverty link in my reader.
Hey you know who would be going to jail right fucking now if that law
happens? ME! I get food stamps and medicaid and I have $22.19 in my
purse right now. Omg peeps, I'm a criminal. I'm worser than rapists
and murderers and CEOs. I deserve jail. I totally do, because I am
obviously defrauding the government (though i report all my income to
both the Irs and DSHS and the numerous assistance programs that
require not just proof of income but for me to sign away my right to
privacy and allow them to monitor any bank accounts I have AND I pay
15.2% taxes on all of it) but I have cash so I must be doing something
illegal. Won't someone think of the child(ren)? It's so obvious that
the kid would be better off in some Dickensian group home than living
with a hardened criminal like myself.

The joy you miss out on by not being poor
A few days ago I went and looked at the most perfect apartment. great
location, 2 bedrooms, washer/dryer, dishwasher, and killer views from
the back deck. But it's a little pricey. Well, actually for what it is
in Seattle it's below the market average, but a little pricey if
you're poor. I told the owner I'd get back to him after I talked to
the 'program lady' (i/e my caseworker). I dashed off a quick email and
waited. And waited. And waited. I finally got a call a few minutes ago
and instead of getting a straight up answer, i got a fingerwaging
paternalistic, 'now Elizabeth do you really think that's an
appropriate amount of your budget to spend on rent'. I was the told to
go look for something cheaper in 2 neighborhoods I wouldn't feel safe
letting the Kid walk around in. She could have said 'the top end of
what our program will cover is X' without the fucking condescension,
but I'm poor so heaven forbid I go a day without someone condescending
to tell me how to live.

Watch Your Language
If you are a girl, or a member of any oppressed class, and have a
tendency to use forbidden words like shit, damn, fucking douchebag is
going to be wearing his ass as a hat if he keeps it up, etc. then you
have probably also been told that your filthy talk is not okay. Here's
why it's not just okay, but necessary to cuss like a sailor. Cuss
words serve as a type of social bonding glue. Using them in common
conversation means you think the people you are talking to are your
equals, not people who are less than you who you must appear more
refined than, or better than you who you must impress. Women aren't
supposed to use that kind of language because we are not equals. We
are less than men andare supposed to set a good example for the
children. So a quick, easy, dirt cheap method of social equalization
is cut off from us when we are told to mind our dirty mouths. Of
course the only proper response to that kind of thing is 'fuck you and
the horse you rode in on'.
