    So apparently I have come down with 'sinusitis'. I thought it was a made up name too.

    It's also a bitch and combined with the head has given me nausea, a migraine, and oh yeah my throat feels half-closed and full of mucousy sand-paper.

    Why the fuck can't I get sick in winter when it's cold out and I can squeeze up next to the stove. Nope it has to be in summer when there's no where cold enough.

    Installed the beta of swype for my phone, total joy to use, man.

    Write this entire post without a single mistake or misinterpreted word, even if I fucked it up. Did have to manually add the word fucked to its dictionary though, but it remembered it the second time.

    Man, Verizon expects me to have a phone hooked up to the phone service I got for free with my cable TV and internet. I don't see why. I'd have to go buy a phone just to do that.

    But they won't give me a PIN for online bill pay without a phone under their control to call and deliver the PIN to.

    I'm going to write a bill.

    H.R.28gofuckyourself
    Raise the debt limit and do absolutely nothing else.

    I wonder if that will garner some popular support.

    WHEREAS, the party of the Democrats is a bunch of pansies, and;

    WHEREAS, the party of the Republicans is a bunch of sociopaths, and;

    WHEREAS, we're tired of all of their shit;

    BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, the debt ceiling shall be raised, and all who vote NAY to this proposition may be free to go and fuck themselves.

    Which is a disturbing and frightening number. What was it, 49% as of the last poll? Nearly half of Americans are in favor of an obviously suicidal policy decision?

    The polls are irrelevant. 49% are against it because they were asked to have an opinion, and saw the elite and media they identify with saying "No" and they said no. An understandable phenomenon. People don't really understand economics, and rely on public discourse and politicians to form their opinions.

    Getting fucked in the ass is another way to form opinions, and everyone should be getting a good education soon.

    You are talking about a group of people who receive government benefits but want to CUT those benefits because they can't even make the association that it is their own goddamn benefits they are cutting!

    My mom is kind of like this. She only was able to go to college because of her dad's SS checks, and she fully acknowledges that social programs are necessary and beneficial. She just really, really hates the thought of welfare queens. But she still doesn't want to cut the programs.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    People are so weird. Being so opposed to Welfare Queens.

    It's never because they are cheating the system, but instead, because they are getting a free ride. Yet, confronted with some trust fund kid, they're as happy as a clam.

    Anyways, you can sell all sorts of policy with rhetoric, and people who are receptive will see into it what they want to see. But in the end, "Sorry, you're not getting X or Y, Z is closed because it's no longer funded, and we have no check for you" is a non-theoretical situation. There'll be little ambiguity in getting nothing.

    Also I would really enjoy the ability to write shit on my phone without it being a huge good damn chore, might actually be handy for writing purposes, since even using it for just the past few minutes my error rate is laughably low, and I'm not exactly using shortened or inelegant language here.

    As the past decade or so has shown, you can sell a whole lot of governmental policies by exploiting a crisis.

    Or, in lieu of an actual crisis, inventing one out of thin air.

    yeah the trick to defending government is making it concrete and visible

    which is how Clinton won his fight, NO SOCIAL SECURITY FOR YOU

    and it's why national parks always close the Washington Monument when they need funds.

    The US could simply plaster "FROM YOUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT :)" signs on every damn federally-funded project or entitlement, really. What it really needs is a good marketing campaign at this point...

    The negative impacts of government are, more often than not, always concrete and visible to the folks who feel those impacts.

    See: taxation, speeding tickets, bureaucracy, etc.

    The positive impacts of government are frequently assumed to just happen like the weather or the tides.

    You know government is much like Sovereign in Mass Effect 1.

    Had Sovereign tried being more insidious and had Saren bring it to the Citadel as 'long lost alien technology' and just hid for a while while it's indoctrination field took over the population of the Citadel instead of going all 'rawr I's gonna kill y'all and shit' it would have been able to sneak in and open the way for the rest of the Reapers without even a fight.
