The George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin case...I DON'T CARE!!! PLEASE MSN, stop asking me if I want to watch the trial live...
There is a parasite found on fresh vegetables that is causing diarrhea that lasts 57 days...Dear Sweet Baby Jesus, those poor people. If I have diarrhea for 15 minutes I am unbearable to be around and am trying to find Jack Kevorkian's cell number, I could not imagine 57 days..that would be the shits...(pun intended).
Congress continues to get more and more worthless, (if that is even possible). A split farm bill is passed, by the house, without food stamps. It must be "meshed" with the Senate version and the President has already said he will veto it...SO, WHY ARE WE WASTING OUR TIME WITH THIS? I understand years ago, there was a valid reason for including food stamps in the farm bill, I think those reasons are moot now. (Other than city dwellers are idiots and in order for them to say yes to anything that may help rural america, we have to spoon feed them things like, food stamps.) Food stamps or SNAP, as the program is officially called, accounts for 80% of the money in the farm bill, actual farm and agriculture related matters only account for 20% so, in theory, splitting it was not a bad idea, as the food stamp issue is what is holding up the passage of the bill. As I've stated before, SNAP needs major reform and instead of just continuing to hand out more and more and more, we need to get to the core of why these people are in the position they are in. If you are elderly or disabled, by all means, you should get assistance. If you decided to have a baby or join a gang at age 16 and drop out of high school, why should I have to pay for your bad decision?
The Des Moines Register profiled Iowans on SNAP and one of those featured was a mother of five who worked 32 hours a week at Wal-Mart and was a full time student at DMACC. I commend her for working, going to school and raising her kids, that shit is hard, HOWEVER, no mention of any of the kids' father(s) was ever made, and it was noted that at age 17 she moved out of her mother's home with her two children, to start her own life....I'm sorry, but, again, piss poor decision making led her to where she is today. Kudos for trying to further yourself with an education, but, your five children are not MY responsibility. If that makes me heartless and lacking in compassion, so be it.
I am completely and utterly obsessed with Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines"...it's my "lady jam." And, if my horribly lame reference to the movie "Pitch Perfect" makes me horribly lame, so be it.
Speaking of music...why is it if more than one solo artist teams up in the country music genre it is considered a duet? For example, Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson "Don't you Want to Stay?", Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, "Jackson."Duets, both names listed with equal billing. With R&B, Hip Hop, etc. it is always one artist FEATURING, so and so...and you will notice very few r&B hip hop/etc artists can manage to record a song on their own these days. If you look at Bilboard's Top 100, I would bet 10 of the top 15 have someone "featured."
Oh and on the topic of obsessions, I am horrifically obsessed with the show Breaking Bad....I just discovered it this year and am seriously going to go into a deep depression when it ends this fall....love me some Heisenberg...
