Why I had to change my phone number

So as some of you know, I've been getting weird texts and calls on my cell phone and round the same time my mailbox was broken into.  So I've changed my number, email me if you want it.  If this is just a coincidence, fine, I will let it slide.  But let me say this, I'm a smart girl and I've done my research.  I have the names of the people who own these numbers, address, names of their family members, and more.  Do not FUCK with me or my family again or I will use this information how I see fit.  That could include anything from selling it on the internet to giving it to my favorite local sociopath.  Okay...margarita time!

Stop the Fucking Insanity!

However much I would LOVE to blame the (in my opinion) ridiculous, laughable, extremist, violent Tea Party for this tragedy, I'm going to stop.  The right blames the left, the left blames the right...everyone just stop. People are DEAD. Lets think about this for a minute. The first amendment and it's free speech are very important in this country. However just because you CAN say whatever pops into your head doesn't mean that you HAVE to. With this, let's just all learn to be responsible with our free speech. I'm pledging to do this, will you?

Untitled Rant

The big news yesterday was that the unemployment rate is down to 9.4%!  I was so happy that I did a little dance in my living room when I read the news.  Then later one of my conservative friends said, “See, the new congress is getting things done already!”  -insert eye roll here-   First of all, these are stats from December, you know when that Lame Duck was still in charge?  Second, all the new congress has done is read the constitution and talk about Health Care Repeal.  When did they have time to pull their heads out of their asses and do anything about jobs?  

By the way, this reading of the constitution thing really fucking bothers me!  Not the actual reading of it, but the attitude behind it.  Here come all the newbies ‘schooling’ the democrats on what the constitution is.  My prediction is that they get to the 14th amendment (equal protection clause), realize that it’s written to include ALL humans (including racial minorities, women, and gays), quickly roll up the document and exclaim, “Nevermind that, let’s talk about taking health coverage away from sick kids and cancer patients!”  Of course, this prediction is assuming that they can get past the first amendment.  But that's okay, I personally don't really need a second amendment.

I'm on to you, Tom Coburn!!

I've been ignoring the news this weekend because I've been pretty snowed by my cold medicine, so I decided to do some catch up reading.  I came across this article about the new congress coming in and this quote made me pretty mad:

"There will not be one American that will not be called to sacrifice" under the needed spending cuts to deal with the deficit, Coburn said on "FOX News Sunday."  That's Republican Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma.  Yes, the same Tom Coburn who tried to block the 9/11 responders bill.

When we talked about sacrifice during the debates of raising the taxes on the rich, that was 'taking away liberties', being 'unamerican' and 'socialist'.  So when they decide to cut help to the poor or middle class (medicare, unemployment and veterans' benefits, social security, headstart programs, wages for teachers, police officers, and firemen) then it's just, 'we all have to sacrifice'.  Uh huh, I see where you're going with this...I will believe your statement of 'not one American that will not be called' when you start cutting the corporate welfare that is defense spending.
