Pissified I Am

I’ve said it and said it, my ass is numb from sitting in this chair so much. Ol’ dead-ass missed the earthquake yesterday; in fact neither Carolyn nor JJ felt it. Some houses close by experienced shaking and some felt only mild vibrations but I didn’t know one had happened until Vicky came into work and told us about it. Though I missed this one, I have twice had the dubious pleasure of feeling the ground move slightly in the past; there are many small faults criss-crossing the southern Appalachians. Yesterday’s quake was the largest in the East since 1944 … must have been on the day I was born.

Tennessee Lady Volunteer basketball coach Pat Summit has been diagnosed with early dementia which will lead to Alzheimer’s disease; she is only 59 years old. I send my best wishes and healing thoughts to her and the millions of other sufferers of this debilitating and oft deadly intrusion.

The three wars the United States is now publicly involved in are expensive not only in American and other nationality lives lost, but also in tax payer dollars. So far, the unsuccessful attempt to ouster the Gadhafi regime has cost us at least $1.1 billion, and the war in Afghanistan is costing we the people $6.2 billion each month and in Iraq the ante is $3.5 billion each month. Stop it!

I’ve been on YouTube watching and listening as fundamental Christians explain why yesterdays earthquake happened Around the DC area. “God is angry” seems to be the consensus. Well, God ain’t no more pissed at DC than I am. In fact, he ain’t nearly as riled as a I; had it been me causing the quake, it would have been centered below the capitol building while a full Congress was in session. I hate to lose such a fine building and part of our heritage, but it would be worth a few sticks and stones to be rid of the political status quo. Next time God, don’t wimp around; do it right!
