It's just another day

  • GM to lay off 25, 000 by 2008 due to rising health care costs and plummeting sales. 25,000. That's 22% of the entire hourly workforce. Imagine the ripple effect that's going to have. UAW officials say they won't renegotiate a cost share on health costs. Think any of these officials will be part of the 25,000?
  • Military divorces are up 400% since 2000. Twice as many in 2004 as 2003. Stress, long seperations, wounds physical and emotional maybe? And this is just officers, the ones supposed to have it together, career soldiers. Sad. I was going to reenlist but I can't afford another divorce.
  • Michael Jackson jury given 98 pages of legal instructions. Uh huh, I wanna be the foreman on that jury. Funny how concise things like the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, Ten Commandments, Golden Rule, and other important precepts and documents are. I think we should lay off 25,000 lawyers (not you Adrianna).
  • Hmm..........25,000 GM factory workers, 25,000 lawyers, lots more single soldiers who don't need to come home to a wife now.......maybe we can end the war from hell a little sooner. Wish we still had the $20 million from the nutcase study, that would have helped.
  • Girls, your ability to achieve orgasm may be genetic. Might want to check with mom, maybe grandma, see what you can expect. I feel bad for the complications of your climaxes. I feel like I get off so easy knowing (you catch that one?) my ability to achieve orgasm is based on whether I'm breathing or not. Although I do sometimes hold my breath til I cum. That comes from holding my breath when I was a kid until I got my way. Same principle.
  • In Indiana, a couple let their newborn die without medical attention because their religion calls for prayer as a healing method. There ya go. If I was on that jury, one page of legal instructions would suffice for me.
I feel like I've been writing a newspaper column the past few days. Regularly scheduled programming will resume as soon as the madness subsides.

On a more helpful note, I am offering orgasm therapy for the genetically deprived. Or even if you just want to hone your skills. Or practice. Or if you're just having a bad day. Or a good day. Or if you're breathing. You know how I am about lending a helping body part in times of need.
