The Furious Spinner

I've been wondering why Dennis Kucinich has not been saying anything about the strange voting in Ohio. Well, he has finally said something; maybe it's me but it seems vague, which is very unusual for Kucinich. See what you think. He says no Diebold machines were used in Ohio, so I guess when Diebold said he'd get the election for Bush he wasn't talking about Ohio. Also, if you want to fund (or find out more) about what's happening with investigating the elections, check out Blackboxvoting.org.

Mario and I took the test today to become citizens of the United States. (Yes, I am a citizen of the United States.) I missed 19 out of 100; Mario missed 15. The questions are weirdly worded. For instance, one question is "What is the Constitution?" We both said something like "it's a document of how the government works." No, the correct answer is, "The supreme law of the land." I've never heard that expression before in my life. The strangest question was, "What Immigration and Naturalization Service form is used to apply to become a citizen?" Huh? The answer to this question threw me for a loop given what has happened since 9/11: "Whose rights are guaranteed by the Constitution and the bill of Rights?" What would you answer? We both said, "Citizens." Nope. The correct answer is: "Everyone (citizens and non-citizens living in the U.S.)"

Perhaps some people in our country should take this test, too.

You've no doubt heard that Alberto Gonzalez is the Emperor's nomination for Attorney General. He's the master of the memo that essentially said it was all right if the United States tortured prisoners. Not really my idea of a good guy.

I keep hearing these Republicans (and Democrats) say they're going to have to work together. Why? It's a partisan country. It should be partisan. It's supposed to be partisan. I don't want the Democrats working with these Nazis, fascists, and women haters. No, I won't stop calling them that until they change. Remember my concession speech. I don't like their values. Their values SUCK. My sister pointed out that the Republicans keep talking about the Democrats learning to work with them and encouraging them to cross the aisle YET NOT ONE OF THEM TALKS ABOUT CROSSING THE AISLE AND WORKING WITH THE DEMOCRATS ON THEIR ISSUES.

Hypocrites.

REPUBLICANS!!!!! STAND UP!!!! TAKE BACK YOUR PARTY!!!!!

What am I doing? No writing whatsoever except writing letters to Congress, etc. Mostly I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Or in the midst of one. I'm taking this all much worse than I thought I would. Mostly I can hardly move. Mostly I wish I did drugs or drank or gambled or did something—I currently have no relief WHATSOEVER from feeling terrible. For someone like me who has been chronically depressed for so long, it's difficult to get back up after the last punch. Unfortunately, people in Iraq are feeling worse than we are.

Bleck.

May You Sing the Blues in Beauty!
