Rights vs. Desires

OK, folks, quick lesson in the basis of our government in the United States of America - there is no enumerated right to avoidance of offense. You have every right to be offended at things that happen, and I have every right to tell you to fuck off.

If you are such a kneejerk anti-religion person that you think having the phrase "In God We Trust" on our coinage is making us into a theocracy, get the fuck out of my country. We really don't need anyone with such a complete lack of intellect around here anyhow.

More lyrics

hey
don't write yourself off yet
it's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
just try your best
try everything you can
and don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away

REALLY long weekend

It just struck me yesterday, I'm going on the world's longest "weekend" starting tomorrow. Mom comes to town on Friday, I am taking off work through the 3rd. The 4th and 5th are mandatory days off from work, followed by a normal weekend of the 6th and 7th. So, I've got a 9 day weekend. Pretty cool.

I Spy For the F B I

Who sang that song, "I Spy" from like 1986 or so? The cover of the album had a guy in a fedora or something. "I spy for the FBI, I spy for the CIA, I spy for MI5..."

Once again, I feel the need to make it perfectly clear that not all of the intelligence community is James Bond. I just got an absolutely hilarious phone call today, telling me that I was in the CIA and knew hitmen. Sorry, I don't know any hitmen. I wasn't in the CIA. In fact, I don't know anyone in the CIA even today. I know folks in the NSA, in NIMA, and some other acronym agencies no doubt, but nobody in the CIA.
