Saturday, March 22, 2003 And Now, For Something Completely Different Of sorts. I went to Marshall's today to visit Christa (and the biznitch wasn't there). I was wandering around looking for her, when I got distracted by a pair of lime green Nike sneakers, and then I just decided to wander around looking for other things. It was pretty crowded, and the aisles of housewares stuff is very cramped. I ended up kind of stuck between two groups of people in the oil aisle. One group were looking at the cookies and teas, and another couple was looking at spices. SpiceGeezer picked up a jar of something and was staring at it, when she slammed it down onto the shelf, rattling everything that was on there (mostly glass bottles filled with stuff). She turns and looks at her husband and says "I'm NOT buying that basil. It's made in France. She said it in a voice that was totally disgusting, like if she had a dead cockroach in her hand. And maybe, just maybe, she meant that she wasn't buying the french basil because it just isn't as good as Italian basil or Fuji basil or whatnot. But to me, it sounded like she didn't want to buy the French basil, well, because it was French. (Now...for the political part). What the hell is everyone's fucking problem with the French right now? So they disagreed with us. They're veto was what stopped the UN from backing us up in our war with Iraq. Big deal. We're dropping bombs (they really stopped us from doing that). They disagree with us. A lot of people do. I disagree with the US right now. I think that the war is basically Baby Bush's war for Daddy and trying to finish what he couldn't. I think Bush has pushed for war with Iraq because he has a lot to gain by it--more say in oil productions, more popularity with his war-monger collegues, and most importantly, distracting the American public from all that is wrong in the country right now with unemployment being so high, the economy being in the shitter, the Feds having the interest rate so low for so long with minimal effect on consumer confidence, and generally, people being dissatisfied. Does that mean that you're going to stop reading this because *gasp* I disagree with Bush? Because apparently, when people disagree with the president or the US, we must boycott them, change names of all products that they have influenced and introduce a name that invokes patriotism and shows the opposition to be tyrranical bastards, and talk about that group like their members stink or have cooties. Well, fine. Don't buy the French basil because it's French. Don't get french fries, eat your fucking freedom fries. Have a freedom heart attack. And stop reading my blog, because I've got the antiwar, anti-American, anti-Bush cooties too. I'm going back inside of my anti-political bubble now. I don't like being this aware of what's going on in the world. posted by jaime | 5:10 PM 0 comments |
