Please leave a one-word comment that you think best describes me. 
It can only be one word. 
No more. 
Then copy & paste this in your journal so that I may leave a word about you.

apparently the head of the FTC had her credit card data stolen. I finally found a good example of irony on CNN.com that didn't make me cry.


some of the hostages from the American Embassy in Iran thing back in the 70's have noticed that the guy who was just elected President of that nation was one of their captors. it's still up for discussion as to whether these people really recognize the guy or not, but I kinda side with the traumatized when it comes to memory. I know that while good times pop up once in a while in my skull, the bad shit that happened to me is right there, ripe for the picking. it's also interesting to note that while Bush calls terrorists cowards, and Bill Maher was practically crucified for saying otherwise, at least the guys running the countries who want to fuck us up aren't afraid to get in there and do some of the work themselves, not watching from the Luxury Skyboxes like our so-called Commander-in-Chief.


and finally, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor has tendered her resignation from the US Supreme Court. To quote one of those bands the crazy kids listen to these days: "It's the end of the world as we know it..."
The lunatic soldier of christ in the white house will now get to begin his appointment of evil minions to the already slightly loopy bench (anyone see that ruling on eminent domain?).
At least Sandy went out swinging, writing an inspiring dissenting opinion on the aforementioned decision regarding the little-respected property rights of individuals. You're either with Corporate America or you're against them (and probably not so well off).
