Bigger & Better

Finally!

I'm relocating to Seattle in less than two weeks. Better gig, bigger city, more to do, more people, more trees & water, bigger mountains, more music, less attitude (and less altitude, which can be just as sickening).

Santa Fe has been a blessing in many ways. Now it's time to move on.

Can't wait!!

What She Said

Ah luv Molly Ivins.

People Are Stupid

In November of 2002 I was embarrassed to be an American. I was embarrassed that this country had re-elected the absolute worst president in the history of the country. Rampant and reckless violations of the Constitution, deceit (doesn't anyone remember "weapons of mass destruction"? Or the bullshit allegation that Bin Laden and Hussein were in cahoots?), corruption (Scooter Libby, Jack Abramoff), and incompetence are the hallmark of this guy's administration, and people in this country were fucking stupid enough to vote to keep it going for another 4 years. Somewhere in the 8th circle of hell Stalin is howling with glee.

Now I'm embarrassed to be a Texan. I mean, WTF, people???? Tom DeLay is as crooked as a dog's hind leg, with mounds of evidence to show so, and people STILL voted for him over THREE OTHER CANDIDATES.

Un-fucking-believable.

I've heard people posit rationalizations such as "people like him (Shrub)"; "people think he's a straight-shooter" (no, that would be Cheney); "he's the kind of guy you could have a beer with on the front porch" (no, that would be cocaine).

Bullshit. Here's my theory: people are stupid.

At least there's a small bastion of sanity in Vermont. I'm moving to Vermont.

Or maybe Seattle.
