i think i'm gonna run away from home and join Cirque Du So What...

so...Sheriff Joe is now raiding McDonalds restaurants, shaking down workers for documentation and arresting those whose papers are not in order...dozens of workers rousted and oddly enough, not one person who hired these undocumented workers has been charged...this is a difficult problem to solve...i hear the argument that these workers are taking jobs that our teens and younger workforce would fill and while this could be somewhat accurate, i also know some teens and younger folks that think busing tables and slingin' fries is beneath them, not to mention landscaping or agricultural work...
...shit...i've done all those things at one time or another, right along side my brown, black, and yellow brothers and sisters...that's where i became an advocate for unions, the rights of the workers, in short, a socialist...
...i dream of a day when borders are a distant memory, but i myself will be a distant memory way before then...

Dear Aunt Cleo's Hat Pin...
...i am ashamed...i've been absent...i've been cheating on you with a tawdry harlot named Facebook...and lately it seems that i can't crack wise there without being assailed by ignorant and/or over-educated conservative shit heads...
so, dear Hat Pin...you will once more become the repository for my rantings and ravings and should some unsuspecting soul from the dark side come wandering in, i can without fear or reservation tell them to fuck off and not worry about offending someones precious christian sensibilities...
...thank me very much...

i believe in the right to arm bears...after all, with shitheads like Sarah Palin shooting at them from airplanes, they need all the help they can get...

4:17am....cough won't let me sleep and i'm about to the point where i would make a deal with the devil to take away this malady, but since i don't believe in Ol' Scratch, it would be pointless to ask the great horned one to magically appear here in my bedroom...much as i was hoping to avoid it,
it would seem that i'm going to spend a portion of this spring whacked out my senses on narcotic cough relieving substances...
...really don't have much to say...just waiting for the last dose of over the counter meds to kick in just a little and perhaps that coupled with total exhaustion will allow me to sleep for a few hours before the nasty fucking tickle returns and wakes me up...of course, if i stay awake for a third night in a row, i might have some real fun hallucinations to write about...adventures in sleep deprivation is not a subject that i would choose for a creative outlet, but such is life...

it's been quite sometime since i last visited these environs...no excuses really...just otherwise occupied with life...i guess i could blame my computer crashing and now using a borrowed unit, but that would be lame...nonetheless, now that i've broken the ice so to speak, i will endeavour to return here and rant on a more regular basis (even if i'm the only one to see these words)...
