So this morning I wake up to lots and lots of disgustingness (is that a word, oh well, it is now).
1. My septic tank has backed up into my shower, ewww, and toilet in my bathroom. It has not yet reached the kids' bathroom (thank god 2 of them are at grandma's) but who knows how long we are going to be able to "hold it". Chad is in Ft. Lauderdale visiting with friends, (supermom is busting out her uniform) so I am here to deal with it.
2. The sky is greyish/black because the heavens are going to open up and lavish my yard with much needed rain at any moment. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love the rain. Any other Sunday morning I would be rushing out to get the paper, making a huge pot of coffee, and envisioning a whole lot of nothing going on today. Obviously this is not the case, all I can help but think is, will the septic guys pump my shit in the rain, are they going to charge me even more than they already are, shit, shit, and double shit, I mean that literally folks.
which leads me to.....
3. I sit down at my desk make a few calls, I only have to wait an hour or three for someone to get here, and decide to make the best out of it. Screw the paper I'll save a tree and read my news online (which is what I do all week, but I like the crosswords on Sundays) and lo and behold what do I see Suddam Hussein has been sentenced to death. I bet you are wondering why this disgusts me, right? If you have been following this at all, you know that this trial has dragged on for various different reasons, he has so much contempt for the court it's almost laughable. They finished trying and convicting him, I believe more than three months ago, here it comes.... they sentence him to death 2 days before the elections. Some of you naive folks out there are going yeah and... well I am cynical enough to believe this was planned. Any one, anyone? Come on people, the republicans were worried, they had the potential to lose, their representatives are coming out of the closet albeit, not on their own, they are being accused of *hush* gay sexual harrasment *hush*, and they are not winning this war, not at all. They won't even put that their party is Republican on their t.v. ads, all you see is an itsy bitsy tiny "R" at the bottom. ( An interesting sidenote: a bit ago I saw a poll of Iraqi
teenagers asking them if violence would go down in their country if Americans pulled out, an astonishing number said Yes. ) So here we are 2 days before the election, and amazingly enough Suddam Hussein is going to hang, unless he wins on appeal, but that won't come for another 2 months or so, long after the election fight has come and gone. So Bush will get to tout that he brought down this monster, but before everyone starts waving their flags around, does anyone remember that we weren't even looking for this guy, that Bush Sr. was the one to give Suddam so much of what he had, didn't we go to Iraq looking for WMD! Have we found any( besides No. Korea, and the only reason we know about those are because they started firing them off, has anyone knocked on their door to say WTF!, I mean really) did we find Osama Bin Laden, who don't forget was also given weapons, money, and power, by the Bush adminstration, does any one even care anymore?
I am disgusted this morning for a lot of reasons: for people who don't think before they vote, Hey assholes, my kids have to grow up in this country and I don't want your right wing conservatism shoved down their throats. For people in Iraq who were thrust into a very political war, not for their freedom, as so many want us to believe, but lets face it folks, our President
and our Vice President have much to gain if the oil in Iraq is under our control. Like I said, I'm disgusted and it's not the smell that's wafting from my bathroom, there are too many to name, this is starting to become a diatribe, so I'm done.
There is good news: the septic guy is on his way, yeah! the rain has held, so maybe I will get to enjoy it with peace of mind, yeah!
Let's all just keep our fingers crossed that on Tuesday it ends up the same way.
