Hi,
If you don't mind I'm just gonna ignore all the mean spirited things that while technically left unsaid are totally lurking right there on the tip of your tongue because I feel it and because I am very in touch with not only how I feel but also how the people who are supposed to be around me are feeling. But like I said, I'm not gonna respond to any of that because I'm too busy digesting the 3 piece chicken meal from Crown Fried Chicken that used to be on this plate:
And if I start talking about it I might get excited and if I get excited I might just end up wearing my 3 piece chicken meal from Crown Fried Chicken.
Anyway, if you don't mind I've got a few other things on my mind before I go to La Rockwood Hall de Musica to play with Nick Africano at 9pm tonight ...
First off, I didn't watch the Oscars because I had inside information that Avatar wasn't going to win Best Picture and so I decided that it would be better for everyone involved if I just boycotted. And anyway who really needs to sit through all that crap when everyone really knows that the 2nd most interesting thing about last night was the airing of the most ingenious advertisement in the history of advertisements that sell you pharmaceuticals without having to list side affects including dry mouth, nausea or lack of patience for your spousal requirements. Anyway, maybe you missed it because you were with me watching the 2nd best Andy Fitzpatrick show ever over at the Scratcher bar? Anyway, in the event that you missed it because you were at the 2nd best gig in the history of old fashioned music, or in case you never heard of youtube.com, I have done you the favor of locating the advertisement in question which includes the url for a cancer prevention website created and developed by GSK:
In unrelated news about all the money that people stand to make by keeping health care in the US a private enterprise without really having to prove that having a program where everyone in America puts a portion of their taxes towards paying for health care so that everyone in America could get basic health care would lead to long lines and sub par treatment and the death of life as we know it, I bring you someone who I generally make it a point not to write about because I figure that anyone who can almost become the V to the POTUS and a year later attract a whopping twelve hundred people to a convention for a new political party that no one is really sure if she's a part of probably doesn't need me giving her any more html space than she's already getting: Sarah Palin.
But then again, she's someone I would totally like to spend a few hours with a tiara objectifying and furthermore, I am a firm believer in giving props where props are due. So in case you missed it because you've been too busy arguing with your spouse about the proper way to dice red onions and how it's different than dicing white onions, today I'd like to give some props to Mrs. Palin as reported by the Huffington Post for dusting off her well worn copy of Jaged Little Pill and discovering for herself the true meaning of irony. Here's the text of an article that's short enough you won't even need to pop a Ritalin to get to the end of:
"Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin -- who has gone to great lengths to hype the supposed dangers of a big government takeover of American health care -- admitted over the weekend that she used to get her treatment in Canada's single-payer system.
"We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada," Palin said in her first Canadian appearance since stepping down as governor of Alaska. "And I think now, isn't that ironic?"
The irony, one guesses, is that Palin now views Canada's health care system as revolting: with its government-run administration and 'death-panel'-like rationing. Clearly, however, she and her family once found it more alluring than, at the very least, the coverage available in rural Alaska. Up to the age of six, Palin lived in a remote town near the closest Canadian city, Whitehorse.
Officials at several hospitals in that area declined to give out information on patient visits."
In unrelated news:
In related news, I'm reading an article about teachers and how for the last 75 years people in the business of teaching have been forgetting to teach teachers how to teach because it's boring. You can read it too if you want: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/07/magazine/07Teachers-t.html
For today's installment of "Go F#@k Yourself!" I'd like to show off my html chops and direct you to click on the words "Go F#@k Yourself!" if you want to read about today's installment of "Go F#@k Yourself!"
Mwah!

P.P.S. "The US has said Israel's authorisation of new building in a Jewish settlement in the West Bank does not violate a recently announced moratorium."
P.P.P.S. Damn, I thought my love life was complicated!
