more reasons why Bush embarasses this country

Stumbled across DubyaSpeak.com where you can hear lovely audio of him babbling about the Olympics and that Tribal Sovereignty quote. Wait 'til you hear how he pronounces Abu Graib (is it Abu Garaf, Abu Garreb, Abu Garomp, or Abu Garrab?)

It's like a high school kid in speech class - shakey and unconvincing. *sigh*

"So that's -- what -- there's some ideas. And the -- it's -- my job is to like think beyond the immediate." (Washington, D.C., Apr. 21, 2004) Wow, like, ohmigod! That is like, so cool!

To be fair, some of the quotes are probably up there because Bush doesn't speak clearly enough and he has that accent. For instance, I think he does actually say "dilute," it just sounds like he says "tilute." Anyway, this is what I mean about a President needing to be a good speaker and representative of the American people and Bush not being that President.

Moulton woman says she lost job for sporting Kerry sticker on car

"I asked him if I was fired and he told me he was thinking about it," she said. "I said, 'Well, am I fired?' He hollered and said, 'Get out of here and shut the door.' "

She said her manager was standing in another room and she asked him if that meant for her to go back to work or go home. The manager told her to go back to work, but he came back a few minutes later and said, " 'I reckon you're fired. You could either work for him or John Kerry,' " Gobbell said.


In other news, I feel my room is now 95% cleaned and organized. Things are mostly away and I have a floor!! I don't think I've had a real floor in years, like, you could fit a twin sized mattress in the space I have now. There are only a few more things in my brother's old room that I need to get put away, but I think I'll be putting those in the basement. In the hallway I've got two boxes of things going to the library or Salvo's. Uhm.. apparently Good Will doesn't take toys?! wtf?? Might try to sell magazine and comic lots on eBay.

Applied for four job today - a couple graphic design ones, a help desk opening, and one for data entry. My mom showed me an ad for this place called the Cambridge Technical Institute (at least, that's what it said on their machine). I don't really know what the job is, except for data entry and that you need to hae a computer with internet access, so I'm guessing it's a work at home kind of deal. I did a search online for their phone number and there were over 250 job postings with the same description, phone number, and extention. Seems a bit shady, but I guess I'll give it a try.. *shrug*

Got all excited when my father went downstairs after dinner and opened the garage - I thought he was leaving for the week. Turns out he was just outside having a smoke and using our flower beds as an ashtray.

On Bands Reunited, Aamer couldn't New Kids on the Block together for a reunion. Jordan and Jonathan Knight were both good humored about it and gladly signed the record, but Joe was a bit dicky ("I'm normally a nice guy..and I'm sure the fans really want me to sign this right now.. but I'm not going to do it on someone else's terms") while Danny and Donnie were overly avoidy. Actually, Joe was a complete asshat. He was being totally sarcastic the whole time and was all "oh, a reunion, why hasn't anyone ever thought of that idea?" what was up with that?! Ranty viewer posts here. Here's another thread that's basically saying, "screw the rest of you! yay, Jordan!"

Edit: because it amused me, more threads:
+ To the "fans" pissed at no NKOTB reunion
+ NKOTB and Extreme wounds too fresh?

Also watched In Search of the Partridge Family: Battle of the Keiths. I don't care if you saw them or not - vote for Leland Grant! He's an excellent singer, actor, and he's not bad looking. Lucais was a doof and David looks like he should be in the Brady Bunch. Leland was the only one that could pull off the full Keith Cassidy. Plus, he was wearing leather pants.

Bed time.
