Today and tomorrow, I am unemployed. Yea! I am also sick. Boo! There is nothing worse than being sick on a day off. OK there is plenty that is worse, but it still sucks.

As I was working on updating the SBC Blog, I realized that I suck. I have put more time and effort in that project recently than I have here, on my real blog. The reason, it occurs to me, is that the SBC, is easier. I can say whatever I want there. It doesn’t matter if it worth saying or not. Here I trying to represent my thoughts and whatever else, so I tend to be more selective about what kind of thing I write about here. The worst part is that the SBC pulls in way more traffic than this pathetic little blog. The whole thing is a little twisted if you ask me.

Last night, Hunter S. Thompson put a bullet in his head. Wow. Thompson was a genius. He was also very, very fucked up. If you are not familiar with Thompson, the easy way to get a feel for his work is to watch the movie, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Happy Trails, Hunter. I hope its Happy Hour wherever you are now.

It is my opinion that many aspects of the Bush Administration are fascist in nature. Apparently, I’m not alone. (via fellow shitty blogger, prisoner of gravity)

The Iraqi election has resulted in a big win for the ultra-conservative Iranian influenced Fundamentalist Shia parties, Da’awa and SCIRI (Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq.) What are we thinking. We push the Iraqis to vote in a government, and shocker, they vote for a government that is opposed to the U.S. occupation and the U.S. in general. Furthermore, they will likely ally with a country that we have labeled one the Axis of Evil, Iran. We didn’t see this coming? OK, Saddam was a jerk, but how has turning Iraq into another Iran helped anything? Is it possible that we have gone into this with such lack of preparation we did not see this coming?
