The 1st Is Approaching: Soon - My "Welfare Check Day"

Alright, it's 3AM and I just woke up for no reason - an hour ago. Great. 

A cup of coffee, to wash down a 88 cent TV dinner, and here I am, violently disagreeing with Soundgarden's Kim Thayil about bandleaders, but completely understanding when it comes to Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan:

“If you’ve got a band where one guy calls the shots, that’s a band that’s going to suck. Because the guy might have bad thoughts in his head. Well I just came out of sobriety and I’ve got this idea for a rock record, I just married my third wife and I have this new idea for a rock record.”

I've told you, you gotta watch the multi-spouse thing, because - like gays trying to be straight or straights "experimenting" with being gay - that's a give away you don't know what's going on, and people notice these things. That's why Kim mentioned it. 

I also like that he compared it to those "inspired" by quitting drugs. They always become defensive assholes, too. (You ever been around somebody who just started?) 

Fuck, if Soundgarden hasn't always sounded like somebody taking a dump, Kim Thayil would be my hero.

Is Richard Dawkins a dick? 

 Well, I know he has one, anyway. And somebody running a church, or school, apparently played with it and little Dickie Dawkins doesn't care. 

Compared to most people, I think that makes him more "odd" than anything else, don't you?

“Mitt Romney just bought a black grandchild, straight cash dawg.”

Along with all the other hilarious (and "resentful") comments received, surrounding news Mitt Romney's got an adopted grandchild, a black conservative found time to make a fool of himself by writing "with the taxes the Romneys pay, they already have adopted an entire city of ignorant black people." 

Really?

That's news to me - and without the Mormon "church" around us?

Too bad the country couldn't have gotten a guarantee, on that deal, when he ran for president:

Instead of getting kicked out of this place, I might have been moving into Mitt's already,...

 

My Country Tis Of Thee / Sweet Land Of Take My Child

I've found a tragic article that says everything about America that needs to be said:

The increasing numbers of African children being adopted by white parents, especially white celebrities,  has sparked a debate among African-Americans that has raged on for years. While that debate is ongoing, few people are aware that increasingly, whites overseas parents are adopting African-American children.

CNN detailed a young girl named Elisa van Meurs, 13, who lives a privileged life of horseback riding and vacationing in the Swiss Alps with her Polish parents. She is African-American and has met her birth family, who acknowledged that they just didn’t have enough money to care for her.

There's a reason to wave the flag, huh? And here I was, thinking I had it rough because I didn't have enough money to finish college. These folks didn't have enough to finish parenting. (My parents didn't, either.) Shit, most blacks have never taken a real vacation - or even flown on an airplane - in their lives. So what's the problem? Somebody gives us a clue:

“There’s too much prejudice over here. The white people are going to hate him because he’s half black, and the majority of black people are going to hate on him because he’s half white. And then he’ll have to do extra things to prove what kind of a Negro he is, and extra things to prove what kind of a honky he is and I don’t want that. I did not want that for my kid.”

Better to get them out of here then. Away from all this obsessive race nonsense, political craziness, and damned chaos. Let the kid ride horses somewhere, where a black kid can be a kid, in peace. 

Their own country is sick.

How sick, I'm afraid, is probably still to be seen,...
