ok, now i'm REALLY worked up
so i just got in from the gym and was talking to my sister on my cell as i was going back to my place downtown... as i walking down the sidewalk to my place, i was talking to her about dean getting all the attention he was getting this week with the time mag, newsweek, larry king, etc. then i went in to how gore was gonna speak tomorrow in nyc on the war for the first time in about a year, yadda yadda yadda...

then it happened folks...


this skank redneck who was walking a few steps behind me obviously overheard and yelled "go bush!"

perhaps it was being so worked up after my workout, combined with my already bad temper, combined with my smart assed nature, combined with my absolute hatred of the right wing, combined with my 150% absolute intolerance of anyone who supports bush --- suffice it to say DUers, i LOST IT!!!!!!

this dude is like 220lbs, 6'3 -- and then little ole me (5'9, 150)... but here we were, in the hallway of where i live YELLING at the top of our lungs at each other... i still had my sister on the phone... i was telling him how bush is bought and sold, owned by corporations and oil and how he's no friend of joe america... i went on telling this guy that he's an idiot and needs to read a fucking a newspaper... i was absolutely LIVID and just completely LOST it folks... but he had NOTHING on me... all he could muster was "go bush!" and "bush rules!"

i got back on the phone with my sister, and she was like, "you're gonna get shot!! oh my god!" lol

my blood is boiling still... but i gotta admit, it feels damn good to take your anger out on these idiots every once in a while... and it feels even better when you have the unstoppable weapon on your side: the truth...




whew, thanks for hearing me out... i need a cigarette now (and i don't even smoke) ;-)

1. That probably wasn't a good idea, but I know where you're coming from.
Been there, too. Sometimes it's just best to roll your eyes at them and ask them, "Do you mind?"

2. Bush rules? Like a dictator? Like a king?
So, big hulking Bush worshipper, what's the proper way to adore King Bush?

Does he like what's in your bank account? Your bedroom? Your church?

Are you going to join up and fight to make his oil buddies even richer?

Don't you love they way they have so much money and Americans have no jobs?

But Bush is guaranteeing to send our jobs to India without interference. You like that about him?

Does that sound like loyalty to America to you?

(Sorry, I hear stuff like that and speeches spring freely into my mind.)

3. Go newsguy!

Hey, anyone with the gumption/balls to fight out of their weight class has my respect!

Isn't it telling that all a Shrub supporter could come up with is "Go Bush"? They are programmed, and anything resembling debate confuses their simple circuits.

4. YOU GO BOY!!***
GOOD FOR YOU!!***

That guy was a totally inappropriate asshole - he was rude and a jerk.

How many of us go out of our way to shove our beliefs in someones face when they are minding their own business and on the phone. WE DONT.

But bullies like that like to see if they can get away with it. AND YOU DIDNT LET HIM.

YOU ROCK NEWS!! I admire the grit*** :)

7. not worth fighting over it
nothing would've been solved. Your /his jaw /hand could've been broken, arrested, charged with assault, civil suits and the whole 9 yards. He was a dick for saying Bush rules but it's his right.

8. ummm
that's not the point... of course it's his right to be an idiot...

MY POINT is that it felt DAMN good to release some of this anger and stand up to these REDNECK punks...

that's what's wrong with liberals today, too fucking nice... talking about, "well now newsguy, that was his right to speak up" *said in nerdy voice*

c'mon guys, jeez

9. This doesn't bode well
I can imagine this happening more and more. It's the Ditto-Heads vs. the Informed. It's pretty scary.
