I don't tend to get political,
because I view myself as sorely misinformed about almost any
given subject and therefore unqualified to venture forth my own
spineless little opinion.
There are a few things I do
feel strongly about, however. I object to the Death Tax. I support
a woman's right to choose. I think folks that are enormously
overweight should have to pay for an extra seat, because
you know damn good and well the airlines aren't in a hurry to
make the seats roomier and more comfortable.
I also believe in the space
program. Like most Americans, I'm not in touch with all the different
projects that are going on above or below our atmosphere, but
I believe that we have benefitted greatly from discoveries that
have been made through the space program. I also believe that
the exploration of space is nothing less than the noble pursuit
of that which is miraculous.
In the aftermath of the tragic
flight of the Columbia, the public seems to be suddenly jerking
to attention and pointing fingers. Wait just a minute, now.
What exactly are we doing with this sending-people-to-space thing?
Never mind that I haven't cared in years. Justify it right this
instant.
Today's entry by an incredibly popular and funny
Diarylander captures exactly what I am hoping most people are
NOT thinking, and is the first time I have actually found his
journal truly offensive.
I do realize that I'm a piss-poor
example of someone who gives a shit, since the only way I actively
support any government program is through the bits and pieces
of money that go missing from my paycheck, and it's not like
I have a choice about that.

It's other, non-current-events-related,
and possibly brain-tumor-evidence news - I've got all these snippets
from the They Might Be Giants "Fingertips" song medley
stuck in my head.
Something grabbed ahold
of my hand�I didn't know what had my hand�but that's
when all my troubles began.
What's that blue thing..DOing
here?
Please pass the milk please.
Please pass the milk please.
Hey now everybody now hey
now everybody hey now everybody now.
Aren't you the guy who hit
me in the eye? Aren't you the guy who hit me in the eye?
Yeah. I'm thinking tumor.

Heart told me more about the Japanese figure dealie that
is going to help me shed some ass padding. She wrote: "the
Japanese figures . .those are Daruma-sans. The eye thing, well . . . what
you're doing is giving Daruma-san, who has no eyes, one eye to
see. And if he helps you with your wish/project, then you promise
to give him another eye . . . the logic being that he'll like
his first eye so much he'll do pretty much anything to get that
other eye.
Yeah, I like that. Go, Daruma-san!
Help me rid myself of the blancmange that has taken over my previously
benevolent belly! Take away the WIDE LOAD sign from my rear end!
As god is my witness, I WILL wear a black miniskirt again! (dramatic
music swells)
I checked out a gym next to
Workplace today, and am going to go tomorrow and take a class
called "Body Pump", at a place called "Prorobics".
Pray for me.
