College Idealists

JP is sick. He has been sleeping since 10:30am and it is now 2:15. He was up all night and then at 5am decided he just wanted to play. Seth joined him several times last night in demanding his "boo" and a drink and a snuggle.

I think I slept about 3 hours.

Oh fun.

I also left work yesterday and today at 1pm to be home for JP. I'm not complaining. It's been very, very nice to get home this early.

Can someone do me a favor and vote during the next elections? What the HELL are these idiot Democrats doing? It's like watching a slow political suicide. How do they consistently screw shit up? Honestly.

Do they realize that never, ever in our nation's history has the fricken House/Senate tried to screw with the running of a war. They vote yes, they vote no, they fund it. That's it. They don't get to say when to surrender!!!! And believe me, that's what this is. They have such little faith in the running of this war, that they are basically telling the ENEMY, "Hey, psst... look dude, just lay low for like a year and we're totally outta here. It'll all be yours in a year. Just stop shooting at us! God!"

I mean, can you believe these idiots? And then on the other side of the coin you have a whole other set of idiots. I can't even begin to understand how heads can go that far up one's arse, but it's really quite something.

The college I work at had this big Tent City thing. I work at an extremely liberal, ivy league, all women's college. One of our student staffers and I had this conversation:

Me: Hey, what's with all the tents on the green?

Her: Oh, that's for Tent City to raise awareness for ARISE.

M: What's ARISE?

H: Its for homelessness.

M: Oh, so you guys raised money for homelessness?

H: No, we raised awareness. A whole bunch of us lived in our tents for 3 days.

M: Were there people who didn't know there was homelessness? Really?

H: Well, it was to you know, give us a sense of what its like to be homeless.

M: Oh. Aren't those EMS tents? Why didn't you guys use cardboard? Did you eat normally or did you have to find your own food and water and stuff?

H: Well, we didn't use cardboard because all the cardboard on campus is recycled and it was supposed to rain. No, we ate in Blanchard.

M: So, what was the - oh nevermind.

H: What? Just say it.

M: You camped outside in fancy tents with nice sleeping bags and cooked marshmallows around an outdoor fireplace. why try to politicize it?

H: It was for ARISE.

M: And how many less homeless people are there now? Did they actually benefit from it? I mean, did you guys donate to a shelter any of those blankets, sleeping bags or even the marshmallows?

H: No, it wasn't like that. It was about spreading the word for ARISE.

M: Right. Well, did you have fun?

H: Oh my God! It was a total blast!!!


Gotta love the idealistic people.
