Grooming Politicians for Christ, by the Legal Reader

I'm in a pretty shit$y mood about the state of affairs in this country. Over the past few day, several things have led me astray:

1. Get into conversation with my mother about my visit to Austin, TX, planned for this weekend. Jokingly tell her that one tourist spot I won't miss is Cindy Sheehan's rally in Crawford. She starts blathering about how it makes her sick when people compare the War in Iraq to the War in Vietnam. She says, "It's not like the Vietnamese came over here and bombed us."

My response, "But the Iraqi's didn't come over here and bomb us either, Ma." is left upon deaf ears.

2. Put up with crazy conspiracy theorist in class, the one who says the WF and the Fed are owned by the Bushes and the Rockefellers, and passes out a copied sheet with "every book I've ever read", all comprised of revolutionary-style conspiracy theory literature. I was satisfied, however, when I told him that he missed "The Valley of the Dolls", and he needed to rent the Bette Midler movie about the author. He gave me this look of death that was just priceless, then proceeded to irritate the snot out of me for the next four hours.

3. I went to quik trip at lunch to finish off my gas tank (my new vehicle fills up at over $50, and a full tank lasts me a little over 2 days commute) and realized that I was in the midst of a state of panic. People were lined up, sometimes four cars per pump, filling up in their state of anxiety. One woman was inside screaming at the clerk that he had changed the gas prices this morning (from 2.59 unleaded to 2.79) right before she got there, and she should get the 2.59 price.

What the hell is wrong with you people? Are you so deluded and ridiculous that you can't even tell when you are behaving like morons, or engaging in right wing groupthink?

Just to reiterate how bad it is becoming out there, read "Grooming Politicians For Christ", by the Legal Reader.
