I have got to get out of this country. And I mean that
exactly the way it sounded in your head – with a nasally decorated “ugh”
followed by a pompous “I’m better than this” snort.
There’s a nasty little rumor (that happens to be true) floating
around about a bill that’s being pushed by some woman (Pam Dickerson) in
Georgia (state, not country) that clearly does not appreciate the beauty of the
naked human form (no parenthetical addendum needed).
Said bill will make it illegal for me to take Ye Olde Balle
and Chain’s head and photoshop it onto Johnny Depp’s hot, naked body. Something
that I would never, ever do – at least not in Georgia (country or state).
Actual bill is linked here for your perusal. Read it,
internet, and laugh at the pure, delicious hilarity of it all. (Also, visit www.techdirt.com. I'm learning a lot from this corner of the internet.)
Moral of this story, internet? Our elected officials have
way too much time on their hands. Because they’ve solved our deficit issues,
paid back our debt to China, fixed the oh-so-fair tax code, ended our
never-ending wars, and…oh, wait...
Yes, absolutely, please spend time on this bill Pam Dickerson of Georgia
(state, not country).
In other news, I’ve now officially been put on drugs to
lower my blood pressure after learning about how much Mitt Romney pays in
taxes. If you haven’t heard by now, just avoid the story altogether. Or, read
it and then sue Mitt for emotional distress. He can afford it.
It just amazes me that the rich blame the poor for being
poor, claiming that they have all that money because they “worked” for it.
Meanwhile, they benefit from a tax code that takes more money out of my pocket
and puts more money into theirs.
I guess they only like “spreading the wealth” in their
direction.
What’s more, it’s not like they understand the tax code any
more than we do. They just have a shit ton of money and can afford to pay the
poor saps that can.
I’m so proud to be an American.
