Citizens around the country are preparing for a possible government shutdown later this week. Makers of party hats, fireworks and liquor stores are all reporting brisk sales in anticipation of of the government shutting down and allowing its citizens a short respite from its circus antics and imbecilities.
Hey ! Let it happen! Let's give it a shot. As they say in the Lotto commercials, "Hey, ya never know".

A Cure for Prozac
Do you want to get one over on the giant conglomorations that are making money hand over foot, paying the minimum in taxes (if they pay anything at all) while they reap humongous profits? I mean the drug companies, and in particular those that market anti-anxity, anti depressive medications? Then all you have to do is : Turn off the damn news! This constant bombardment of information (mostly trivial but sensationalized to gain ratings) is turning this country into a mighty bunch of schizophrenics and lunatics. The muslims, online stalkers, radiation, phishing scams, identity theft and a million other dangers and nefarious schemes to dig you out of house and wallet. Stop the 24 hour news cycle, give it up. You need to know what the latest news is that will have the greatest effect on you? Stick your head out the damn window and take a look around. Later your payback will come in the form of all these drug maker's crying their eyes out in front of Congress for handouts. They'll probably get them but at least your, ur, libido won't feel like a piece of soft , dead wood anymore and you'll once again be able to walk upright.
"People got to be free (uh, that just means we)
Do the Muslims scare me? No. It is the American reaction that both frightens and disturbs me.Why? Because there are millions and millions of people who have been chaffing under the rule of cruel dictators and rulers finally getting the chance to be heard, to fight, die for freedom, and what concerns us? How these protests, these yearnings to be free are going to affect us. The residents of the Home of the Free and Land of the Brave are acting like a bunch of frightened weasels. "Is the Muslim Brotherhood going to take over"? "Are they going to revive the Caliphate and try to take over the world"?. A close friend of mine was freaking today because , according to him the Saudis "are not going to sell us oil anymore because we did not back Murabek". When I kindly reminded him that a great majority of the men who brought about the 9/11 disaster were Saudis, he said "that's a different $#%^ing thing". Imagine Americans frightened at the thought of people actually fighting and dying for freedom. And instead of us cheering them on from the sidelines we stand there, biting our finger nails while our knees shake with fright. We should truly be ashamed of ourselves as Americans at this moment.

Who's spiking the tea at the Tea Party
" There are third-rate men in every country but it is only in the United States that they run the show"
H.L.Mencken
I guess what the great Mr.Mencken proclaimed back in the early part of the 20th century still holds true today (although today political correctness would require that women be added to the brew).
Meet Sharron Angle, Tea Party favorite and challenger for the senate post now precariously held by Nevada's Harry Reid . An ex-assembly woman, she has a knack for putting her foot in her mouth with an adroitness that would put the blush to a Nixon or a Bush. This same woman who has captured the hearts, minds and bowels of the state's chicken coop cleaners, sheep peddlers and horse manure connoisseurs, seems not to know what side she's on or what script she should be following. Take for example her description of the of BP's $20 billion compensation of the victims of the Gulf Oil spill as a "slush fund". Or her desire to phase out Social Security ; she is also for the elimination of the Environmental Protection Agency (there I might agree with her after experiencing first hand the wonderful job the agency did following the September 11th attacks); she has hinted that G-d himself takes an active interest in her campaign (in a related story it is reported that G-d has retained famed abaggado Bruce Cutler to investigate whether there is grounds for a libel against Ms. Angle). I would think that such views, with the exception of the EPA and quite possibly the big Man himself, would rankle the emotions of a great many of those storied "real Americans" that are the entrails of the Tea Party movement. It does not appear so. This woman draws enthusiastic crowds wherever she stops to crow, be it at the ribbon cutting of a restored cesspool or the grand opening of a Piggly Wiggly. Undeterred by rain, snow, blistering heat, quicksand they come from miles around to to hear the profound words of a woman not fit to work as a coat check girl in a Chinese take out restaurant. But there she is, a serious contender for a senate seat in the great state of Nevada. And here we are, scratching our heads and wondering just how low the field of politics can descend before our whole damn country becomes unglued and is hurtled onto the same path as was the downfall of Rome
