For all of you readers out there that happen to belong to a union, you might want to tune out for a while. I heard a couple of days ago about a group of electrical workers fom the wonderful state of Alabama who went north to the not-so-wonderful state of New Joisey. Seems said group went north to help a bunch of people try to get some power back on in their casa's after what we like to refer to around here as "a nice little fall shower". Apparantly it's cold as Hell (why do people say cold as Hell? Isn't Hell supposed to be really fiery and hot?) up there and getting colder by the minute. The good old boys from Alabamy thought, shoot, we can go up there and be right neighborly and help these poor folks out!
Just when they thought they were in a spot to do a bit of good in the world, they were turned away at the New Jersey border because THEY WEREN'T UNION WORKERS!!! Everybody catch that? The help they were bringing wasn't nearly as important to the imbeciles in New Jersey as was the fact that they werent card-carrying members of the electical workers union!
There is something seriously wrong in this Country when you put the best-interests of a few above the best-interests of millions! How pathetic is it that people are freezing, have no food, have no running water, yet when help is on the way, some jerk-wad turns it away. See, if it was me, I wouldn't care if they were mass murderers. If they were there, willing and able to help, I would have put their happy little butts to scampering up poles!
I hope whoever made this truly idiotic decision gets the living crap beat out of him(or her) by some little old woman who wants nothing more than to warm up a can of tomato soup. Then, when he gets to his feet, I hope there's some little boy with frostbitten toes that comes by and pees on the guys shoes! What a nimrod!
On a lighter note, I wonder if there's a chance that I can catch an election ad on TV tonight? I will be so damn glad when this whole election crap is over! I have a pretty strong feeling that no matter who wins, there is gonna be bitterness and partisanship in this Country, and specifically in the goverment, the likes of which we've never seen. My prediction, and I hope that I'm wrong, is that it's going to be incredibly hard for whoever is elected to really make a difference in the next four years.
There will be so much hatred and bias throughout every level of government, and so little cooperaton between parties that the country will come to an even greater standstill. I hope, for all of our sakes that I'm wrong about this. Whoever wins will be the President of the United States, and will need the cooperation of every one of us. It's time for all of us to come together and put aside whatever differences we may have. Put aside the anger. Put aside the hurt feelings. Put aside the color. Put aside whatever it is within each of us that makes us work against each other instead of with each other. It's time to put this Country back on top.
God Bless the United States of America.
And if you don't agree, kiss my ass. And leave.
