Election Coming Up - Original to Facebook 10/07/2010

Well, the election is less than a month away. Goodbye my comrades - alot of you will be losing your seats. It was nice to at least feel like you guys were going to make some changes and improve the daily lives of all americans, but you missed it. You played too nice. You tried to look like you were interested in bi-partisonship with a party that did everything it could to scuttle any decent idea that came down the line.

And it look like the other guys are gonna whoop up on you - and right back we go to the way things were. Did you learn nothing? Did the 8 years presidency of The Dunce and then the resounding call of the people for CHANGE and HOPE fall on deaf ears? Or have you guys all been in office so long that you are really no different than your across the aisle brethren?

I myself feel sorry for the poor, the gay, and those who actually have a moral opposition to war - the next several years will be very hard on you guys. How dare you poor, you unemployed due to the outsourcing for profit, the lost jobs due to the pulling back of the curtain on the rather shady and falsely iflated finacial market of the early 00's - sorry. Don't expect that the government you paid taxes to to be helping you out. Get a job. Yeah. I know, it's easy , right? Of course it is, and if you have not gotten a job yet, your just lazy, and abusing the system. Do not take into account the number of jobs that were deleted, left unfilled or businesses that simply do not exist now like they did when you were employed.

And you gay and lesbian folks - you need to find God and leave you ugly, unnatural, selfishly idulgent ways behind you. Don't you know that you choose to be gay - you wanted the ridicule you get in society, you wanted your elected officals to refer to you as "queer" and a "fruit loop " ( Rep. Larry Brown in NC just this week ) . Now, you can still pay taxes, you still have the right to keep your religious ppractices, you have the right to peaceably assemble - but do not try to defend your country and be "out", nor dare you to ask that you and your long term dedicated life partner enjoy the same civic and financial oppurtunities. Hey, it took us from the discovery of this country until the 1960's to even admit that Black people were actually equal to us - you think we want to acknowledge your "alternative lifesyle" ?

Of course, you guys who are gonna get kicked out of your offices, you did not try to advance any social agenda with any great force beyond the health care bill - and you got it passed. But at what expense? The other guys are gonna "rip it up" - and from what I have seen actually replace it with programs that essentially are the same thing, just with their name on it.

Maybe I need to look within myself. Maybe I am not greedy enough. Folks used to joke that they were not "rich enough" to be Democrats - that they could not afford the programs that taxed to aide those without. And folks also joke that they are not " Rich Republicans".

But I want to be fair. I want to be able to get along. So I am going to practce for the new administration.

I'm gonna stop suggesting that the government owes it citizens a quality of life just as much as it owes the world to play policeman. I'm going to tell folks who are jobless to "buck up and get a job" insted of considering the best way to donate time or money to the Food Pantry. I am gonna quit entertaining the thought that all Americans are equal in ability and potential - and openly scoff at the foolish expectations of same sex partners who have the nerve to expect that equality to extend to them. And I am going to openly decry the violence and terror in our neighboring country - and then kick anyone who tries to escape it by coming here out of the country. As a matter of fact, I will support military action around the world , but not take any interest in helping our neighboring country setttle thier insurgant problem.

Like Hell I will. I will be damned if I do any of those.

Get ready folks - the next few years are gonna be brutal.

The HP's 2012 Concession Speech - and Message of Things To Come

My Fellow Americans – It has this day been shown that the American Peoples, when they are faced with a tough decision will make tough choices. And we have with that greatest of privileges been allowed to cast our singular voices in a chorus of unity in electing for the next 4 years a president by ballot. Like 2000 this one seems to shaping up to be a good old fashioned fucking over of the people one way or the other. It was an honor to be considered by many of you for your choice of Supreme Overlor—umm. President and I deeply moved by the support of those whose ballots were cast with hope for a less oppressive Iron fist of rule that I would have implemented. It is with the realization that maybe our campaign got started too late and was way underfunded, that I must now take the mantle of responsibility from my own shoulders and transforms it into the blanket of blame and try and find someone to pin this loss upon. Had I had a campaign manager, I would here and now publicly embarrass t...

Cancer

“Hey Dude- Look – I got to go back to the doctor in three days- he said I got a lump or a spot of some shit they want to check out.” That simple run on sentence was the first I became aware that my friend and coworker had cancer. Looking back I would have stopped what I was doing in my tracks, grabbed his hand and drug him to the doctor and demanded they do whatever tests they had right then, right dammit now. Because you see, this cancer moves fast, and hard, and the difference in a few days now seems like years before. That was only 6 weeks ago – so short – but so long. In the while I have seen him endure radiation treatments, blood clots, weight loss, fatigue – and he has not even had to face the chemotherapy yet. He cannot eat – he drinks his food. He was such a wildly vibrant personality before – never able to sit still; always he fidgeted and moved, and laughed and cut up and made noise – now quiet, reserved and and often brooding. He tries to keep the positive side; his sm...

Election Day 2012

Election Day is finally here. Good. In all seriousness, I don't care who you vote for; rather I simply hope all who are able take part in the process. I know enough of you that when I did a quick little "silent poll" in my head, guessing who the folks in my news feed would vote for, that I can tell ya I think all my friends are pretty much a wash, half voting for one guy, half the other. Who do I want for President? The guy who will have a compassionate heart for the weak; the guy who wants to see business grow but understands the obligations business must keep with it's Labor; the guy who, when given he choice in sending mire kids to be killed and maimed takes the time to understand the gravity of the situation, and makes the right choice; the guy who is running for the right reasons, not the wrong ones. And I do not see that in either of these two candidates. And I am fine with that. For the record, I'm going to stick with my plan of writing in "The Hi...
