As anyone reads me knows, I didn’t vote this past Tuesday. I’m done with voting – the Bushies ruined voting for me! And I really don’t care if people lose their jobs in California, or, can’t get jobs. For all I know, some dickhead consortium will manage to cut me out of my retirement when it’s my turn to sit on my fat ass and collect – but I’ll tell you – that when I do try-and-collect my STRS – I will have taught for 36 fucking years – and believe you me, that ain’t easy! I’m not so sure I can pull off another 5 years, but here’s hoping! So anybody who wants to pinch the California State Teachers – better be ready to face a militia over 300,000 strong!
But it’s not just teachers suffering in Cali – many other folks are dealing with the governmental foibles and follies, not to mention Cali’s growing pains. We did manage to hit 35 million right on schedule – and that may simply be too many people for California. Yes. Yes! Japan has a much smaller land mass and many more people, and an even larger economy than California – but they STILL kill whales, and we don’t (unless you count military sonar operations). Plus – we White Folk have any number of Indian curses placed on us that Japan doesn’t…unless we factor in nuclear-ready North Korea.
I just don’t get it! One day we’re 10 billion in the hole and the next day we’ve factored in an additional year and we’re 40 billion in the hole. Then, when after much agonizing we’ve apparently handled the 2-year, $40 billion deficit – we learn that we’re still 8 billion short. But then this 8 billion becomes 16 billion, and then, all-of-a-sudden, we’re $27 billion in-the-hole, again. I just can’t keep up with it – it’s confusing, frustrating and plain un-American: I mean, who can we bully to get out of this mess?
So let the prisoners out-of-the-jails – I finally went out and got my gun. Or, let’s declare martial law and regulate the hell out of everyone and everything! Or, let’s have those folks who can’t afford to pay for the California sunshine – go back to whereveritwas that they came from (gosh, I could mention a few…). I myself came from Michigan 25-years-ago – and didn’t have an easy time of it here (it STILL has its-ups-and-downs), but by god, I’ve always paid my way.
A spokeswoman for Generous Motors (the alias for those of us who have enjoyed GM perks over the years) said that GM has got to become small enough to become profitable again – in other words, GM is too bloated and obese to function properly. I kinda think the same thing has happened to California: thanks to the constant mixed messages and general schizophrenia issuing from Hollyweird – we have created an “anything goes” mindset – which can only work up-to-a-point, and then it all becomes one big cluster fuck – and no one derives any satisfaction, or money (for that matter) — because no one can figure whose fucking whom.
So it’s probably time to get back to our Wild West roots, and the Darwinian conception of the species – and find out who the strongest are. Me? Well, I’ve got to work on my shooting. There are days I can’t miss – but there are days that I do…
