		<description>I'm thinking he will be gone by June. If not gone, neutralized. Right now if he gets it into his head to fire me, I can go after him legally. Aside from having a workman's comp claim going on from an injury caused by his actions, he was confronted in a meeting with people who outrank him considerably regarding his treatment of me. He's berated me in front of people a few too many times. Once was more than enough, but he's gone after me lots more than that. This has been so unpleasant and stressful it's really had an effect on my life outside work.</description>

		<description>I don‘t think&lt;a href="http://www.motherjones.com/washington_dispatch/2008/05/polar-bears-endangered-species-global-warming.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;polar bears&lt;/a&gt; are in any way cute. I saw a polar bear act in Boston Garden one year when it was the year off for Gunther Gebel Williams and the Big Cats. Huge and terrifying, and spectacular, and my then seven year old daughter said they looked more intelligent than we all did watching them. 

 I don’t know what I think about the ethics of command performances by positively magnificent predators that could woof their ‘tamers’ on a dime. I guess I don’t really like it, but when it’s RBB&#38;B and little kids and adults are shrieking, and I get a glow in the dark polar bear T-shirt, I turn into a dumbfounded dumbass. Hell, I eat meat occasionally, but if cows got hold of bolt-guns and started nailing slaughterhouse employees, I’m fine with Brussels sprouts and good for the cows. My favorite cartoon is Gahan Wilson’s, with frogs standing over those petroleum encrusted lab trays and humans pinned down ready for pithing. Serves us right.

But Roy Innes claiming Black Americans are being disadvantaged by protecting Polar Bears from having to swim thousands of miles for a meal and keeping from drowning? That is one seriously coopted black man, and an idiot. The idea that the inevitable demise of any species of God’s creation for the comfort and convenience of mankind is acceptable amounts basically to a sort of defeatism that  Ralph Innes may not realize is the slippery slope to terminal racism. 

There’s Alpha and Omega, and noogenesis, according to the greatest biologist of the Twentieth Century, whose also the greatest theologian of the Twentieth Century. It’s spectacularly infuriating that the propagators of intelligent design as an alternative ‘theory’ support killing off entire species in the name of the God we’re supposed to all be becoming. Of course, ‘intelligent design’ posits as its basic beliefs that God wasn’t smart enough to design natural selection and evolution into the equation, but She was boneheaded enough to intend we all end up born-again white men with beholden females. 

Racial divisions by skin color and physical features amount to an exceptionally phony ploy in the grand scheme of biology, with no basis in any sort of science. Exaltation of one species over another is just about as stupid. If you make the rules, you find yourself superior. Opposable thumbs? Masturbation. Language? Blogs. Bigger brains? Duplicity, cowardice, addictions, delusions of grandeur, people that think William Faulkner wasn’t a jerk that wrote impenetrable and entirely indefensible crap for whiskey money. 

So we get Thomas Mann, but we’re plagued with Hermann Hesse. William Gibson, Tim LeHaye. It’s like Adrian Monk says, a blessing and a curse. Good Steven King, bad Steven King. Language may be something we do because it entertains us. I’m open to the idea that whacking sea lions is just as entertaining, but I don’t have the genes for it. Clive Cussler, for Christ's sake, who’d be a good excuse for cutting off all human typing digits and feeding them to starving polar bears. I don't know if there's anybody good enough to balance how horrendous this guy is, and millions of allegedly evolved humans read this drivel. People actually recommended The Davinci Code to friends. What sort of species is it that resorts to such wanton cruelty not in the interest of survival?  (And I apologize to everyone that just thought it hilariously ...atrocious just doesn't get it, but there must be a word...abysmal? No. Brainless? Closer.)

If Roy Innes finds himself on an ice floe with a starving polar bear, who’s superior? The bear, and the black guy’s lunch, same as some bona fide racist like Trent Lott would be. All tastes like blubber. But shoot, science is the devil’s work, and there‘s always the rapcha. When it comes, and I’m still here, I want a baby-blue T-Bird, with the top down and the keys in the ignition, a working debit card with Warren Buffet‘s account number, and a ferocious 14-foot tall furry white bearish guy for my sidekick, and bandoleros wouldn‘t hurt.</description>

		<description>I got The Skids best CD in the mail today.  The Skids was Stuart Adamson's band. You may know him as the guy that did the bagpipes guitar trick and made the positivelely brillant song "In A Big Country". It wasn't a trick. He just knew how to make it cry and sing.  Ray Davies thought Stuart was a worthy collaborator. So, in my opinion, there you  have it. Shane McGowan and Richard Thompson did him the honor, too. Mighty good.

He wrote incredibly gorgeous songs, that had to do with Scotland, freedom, fucking the Brits, and what the Brits did to womankind in shackling the Celtic lands, which demeaned the Brits more than their victims.

I think you'll all like Stuarts's songs. They're really amazing.I'd say excuse me, but I wouldn't really mean it. Listen to what the boyo did. You'll really like it.

Apparently he killed himself. God knows why</description>

They buggered this deal beyond belief. Myanmar does it on purpose, W did it by utter incompetence. They werenen't the gang that couldn't shoot straigt. They couldn't find the trigger. They were positivelely incompetent.

		<description>LAMary, good for you.  Been there.  I think I've mentioned in the past that the boss that I survived still gives us the willies when we talk about him; and two of us still actually have nightmares.  Really.  The year after he left, copy costs for our department went down $6000.  When will you know for sure that you're going to be ok?</description>

		<description>There's no doubt, the government creeps in Myanmar are blocking humanitarian aid. When the government creeps in the USA object, they have no moral leg to stand on. The Shrub Administration turned aside more than $400,0000,000 worth of aid for Katrina victims. Hevkuva job, assholes. Fact. jack. What is wrong with  these dickheads?

		<description>Aha!! Jonah Goldberg (a heel if there ever was one) was right!.

Jonah Golldberg is a part of the human body.It blows wind and defecates.  But its the one from which a fart emits. He's surely a fart and not even a full-blown turd. Half-baled, half-baked.. Jonah Goldgdrg is a fucking moron, and that's all she wrote. He writes tripe. He's a moron</description>
