Ramblings of a Desiccated Mind

I don't really understand how anyone can stand in this miasma we call modern civilization and not have an opinion on how they're going to vote this year.

This protracted, admitted by our Commander in Chief to be "unwinnable" "war" is obviously a complete fucking failure. If it weren't, then Afghanistan wouldn't be on the ropes. But that wasn't what this administration wanted out of 9.11. What they wanted was Saddam Hussein's ass, and they went for it. You can stand there and think to yourself, "Well, sure, Afghanistan's a mess, but Iraq was the real threat." Well, it wasn't Iraq that showed up in New York, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania that bright, sunny day in September. As a matter of fact, it wasn't even fucking Afghanistan. It was about twenty Saudi nationals ordered by a Saudi prince dragging around a fucking dialysis machine.

NONE OF THEM HAVE BEEN HELD RESPONSIBLE ... but we got Saddam.

GROW SOME GODDAMN BALLS, MAN!

He's lambasted you, crucified you, stuck you on a spigot and is roasting your nuts on an open fire. You're going to let him get away with that? Maybe you are a fuckin' pussy. Get your ship together, Mr. Kerry. Time's a-tickin'. And a one point bounce in the polls doesn't mean shit. These motherfuckers are going to be obliterating digital paper trails, continuing to polarize the electorate, and continuing to rattle their base. Where's your fire, Mr. Kerry? What's it going to take to get your robotic ass into the center of the ring and start pounding some Bush ass, you dumb motherfucker? Let us here you cuss! Go Cheney on these crazy motherfuckers! Forget dignity, you need to rattle some goddamn cages!

Hey ... if we're going to change The Constitution to allow immigrants like Arnold Schwarzenneger to run for president, then what is the fucking point of even having a Constitution? I am sorry if this comes off as xenophobic or racist, but if you want to hold the highest office in the land, then you have to be born here. Period. There are so many actual issues on the table, I don't even understand how they can even be talking about this in Congress. This is just proof those guys have their heads up their asses.

And you know who brough this proposal before the House?

A Republican.

Party of the nation?

I don't think so.

You guys need an enema.

I've made a submission to Horrorfind, and to .. uh ... I forget the other one (ed: went looking, is for a place called Yellow Bat Press), but they were looking for "flash fiction" under 1k words. The HF story is probably the most disturbing thing I've ever written. It's about a guy who signs away all his worldly possessions in order to abuse this crippled vampire thing pimped out by these two hot bitches. "Wha?" you say? Exactly. I hope it gets accepted. No word on that one yet, but should know within the month. The other one is a little bit of an arty-farty thing about a guy who kidnaps a cashier and keeps her in his bomb shelter. No word on that one either, but should know sometime by the end of the year.

Hey, at least I'm writing, lol.

At any rate, I'd love to actually succeed with these subs, but if I don't, then I'm culminating the rejections into a short story collection of my own.

And, by the way, publishers? I appreciate the need to have a hard copy, but you should always have an e-subs option. Just my opinion, but paper is fuckin' dead. I understand that going through the whole process shows a certain degree of intent and professionalism, but my printer is sooooo broke, and Kinko's ain't cheap. Meh, never mind, you gotta do what you gotta do.
