Other: A wild Snorlax appeared.....
...and it was gay!
God. Damn.
This "creature" was spotted as part of a GBLT group protesting the Westboro Baptist Church, who was protesting a Jenny Craig clinic I suppose. God. Damn.
I feel dirty. Old school Sevendust should help.

Other: Zombie Apocalypse!?? zOmg!
In a cutesy way of spending taxpayer's dollars, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) came out with some information on how to prepare for the upcoming hurricane season. But instead of the usual yearly advice such as filling your bathtub up with water & maybe fucking your neighbor's wife, they decided to....well....give the same advice, except this year under the guise of impending zombie attack. Because, hurricanes are so boring & not as topical as say...zombies...or fucking pirates! God I hate pirates!

Politics: So we have a budget. Sorta of.
After days of wrangling and arm twisting, Congress was able to put together a temporary budget measure that keeps the US Government running through September of this year, along with a temporary provision to fund the government while the deal is written into law.
A "whopping" $38.5b in spending was cut from this budget. Nowhere near the number needed to make any meaningful impact on the deficit, but who gives a shit about that? It's all merely symbolism. I mean, I was really hoping the gov't would have closed. All those hundreds of thousands of gov't employees, laid off! Music to my ears!
While this data is just over a year old, it shows that government employees out earn private sector employees in most employment categories. And let's be real: they have a history, nay, a tradition for being lazy, incompetent & otherwise useless individuals. Their pay has increased at levels that would put corporate America to shame! In this time of huge deficits, not only do we need federal employees to make less, we need less of them!
Back to the budget: The Republicans did want a lot more cut in order to reach a budget deal. People like Rand Paul and Paul Ryan have the right idea....the cuts need to be HUGE in size & scope. ALL departments within the Federal Government need cuts, and some need to be outright eliminated, like the Department of Education and the Department of Commerce (sorry, pop ups on that last link).
Seriously folks, deep, serious cuts need to be made, and made now. Who's willing to do the right thing? It doesn't seem that Congress or Obama are.

Politics: Sweet Shutdown!
Can you smell it? It's in the air....Yes! That beautiful aroma! It smells like...the Government has shut down, I mean, victory!
America has always worked best when government gets out of the way. So tomorrow, as we see some whine doom & gloom, we should rejoice! For one thing, we'll see those who truly are a drag on the system, aka, unessential gov't employees, get the (temporary) boot. Yes, it's symbolic, as they'll receive retroactive pay for the days they didn't work (how would you like THAT perk?), but it may open up some people's eyes.''
And it should be noted that the FAILURE to pass a budget rests at the feet of the Democrats who failed to DO THEIR JOB and pass a budget back in 2010. And now they want to blame the GOP? That's rich!
