you're better off with Eastwood

I've finally calmed down from watching the Republican National Convention and it is sad to say, the person that lied and contradicted himself the least was talking to an imaginary person.  Yeah, i'll say it again, the most honest person at the RNC was rambling and talking to an empty chair. 

There is something wrong with a party that truly believes that God wants Americans to be better off than every other country in the world.  We thin we are the chosen people.  Its like were turning into Israel 2.0.

There is something wrong with a party that truly believes that they're not rich enough when they are the richest collection of people in the world.

There is something wrong with a party that thinks if that they trot out enough tokens, they will magically convince us all that they are inclusive.

The thing I'm not sure about is if they think we're stupid enough to believe them or do they actually believe some of the trash they spew.  I miss Sarah Palin.  She was an idiot but you could tell she believed the crap she was saying.  You can't tell what Mitt Romney is actually thinking about anything.  I know he thinks that getting rich people even richer is a good thing but he doesn't even have a comprehensive plan to make it happen.  Oh, he'll cut their taxes but they pay the lowest tax rates anyway.  Also, how the hell do you criticize people for running up the debt but you continually promote military action which is the biggest waste of money you can have... outside of an election of course.  The whole republican platform is to spend money over seas and cut taxes.  That is how we got into debt in the first freaking place!

Clint Eastwood did offer one solid piece, though.  It is alright to make a change.  There is nothing fundamentally wrong with voting for who you like, ask Bill Clinton, but you really should have a BETTER option before you start leaning on that message.

Does a better option have a Swiss bank account?  Do we want a president that openly hides money in tax shelters?  That's just ridiculous.

Don't tell that to republicans though.  They are nothing if not dedicated to the cause.  They don't care about rationality or reality and it really is sad that they rely so heavily on zealotry.  Love them or not, they are a good percentage of the country.

It is symbolic that Clint would talk to an empty chair.  Republicans only seem to debate against words they put in people's mouths anyway.  The real question is, how long will it be before Americans get fed up with this silliness?

I wish I was a super hero.  Even at this age I have delusions of saving people that far too often don't want to be saved. Seriously, how many stupid people can one city have?  That's not even counting all the people with Confederate flags on their cars or worse, Mitt Romney bumper stickers.  Those people just need to be slapped.  There are people in this city that still think drive by shootings are viable options to settling disputes that started on facebook... Fucking FACEBOOK.  Shooting these people would be counter productive and hypocritical but I do think someone should at least make an attempt to turn these people into useful members of society.  When that doesn't work, beat those assholes into submission.  Brutality worked during slavery and that had zero moral grounding.  I support routine beatings of people that obviously deserve it. First example: Sexual predators.  Something ridiculous, like 1 in 4 women are sexually ass...

Life and beaches

When I go to heaven, I hope I get some real estate on a beach.   Shit, I hope everyone does. There are two conflicting feelings when you sit on a beach; hearing the roar of the waves, feeling the spray of the ocean spray on your body. There’s that sense that the power of Earth and the power of its creator is so much bigger and better than you.   You understand your insignificance in an ever moving reality that is so uncompromisingly beautiful.   That’s not even considering the beautiful women that tend to populate the beaches.   There’s also a feeling of being one with that power.   It’s like you are a part of that strength and that awesome power is somewhere inside of you.   It makes you feel like you are adding something to the scene. There are three major players that you watch unfold perfection at the edge of the sea.   There is a beautiful sky that seems infinite.   Its beauty seems to reveal more colors that your eye can compre...

R.I.P. Rusty Hayes

Pretty soon here I’m going to say goodbye to my dad.   I suppose that I already have.   When I walked into the place where he lived and saw him there, dead, with his mouth cocked open in a very strange angle, I realized that I had been saying goodbye to my dad for some time now.   That body that laid there in the nursing home did not resonate my father at all. You see, my dad was a big guy.   Always was to me.   That body there was emaciated and small; so much not the powerful figure that I remember. When I was younger, I remember how much I wanted to grow up to look like my dad.   He was muscular, handsome and light skinned and I was anything but (I still have beef with every negro that got blessed with being light skinned in the ‘90s).   The best thing about my dad, though, is that he had a serious thirst for life.   He always laughed so hard that you had to turn around and wonder what the fuck was going on over there that was so damne...
