gardega thinks about 2010

The TV commercial says the side of effects of their anti depressants are  suicidal thoughts. I have never taken such things so I am at a loss to understand this irony. It is kind of like If the fire dept. comes to your home there is a 15% chance they will pour gasoline on your sofa. Now that BP has managed to sink the oil deep to the ocean bottom we are all happy again--outta site, outta mind they say but It somehow reminds me a bit of an edgar allen poe story where an ex wife is stuffed in a cabinet somewhere, eventually something spooky is going to happen.. Al gore took off from his global warming-anti light bulb crusade to force a sketchy massage from a masseuse but somehow the media buried this story faster than a ritalin child switches toys.  Robo-stamping became all the rage, the new hot term---Robots can do foreclosures but they  still cant make one that can vacuum a floor or get me beer...Women are still hard to understand in 2011 but then again so is latin and so is calculus and so is working a remote for your new TV. Lindsay Lohan has 10,000  frequent flier rehab miles to turn in and now david Arquette has taken the baton and turned himself in to the great victim racquette that is rehab--Go Team Hollywood. I just saw that haagan daaz pints of ice cream are no longer pints--they have kept two ounces for themselves. Bastards. There is a cause to fight for greater than Darfur--get your two ounces back in your pint, The hollywood A list should get on this and fly to the nertherlands---oh wait, haagen daz is from jersey. Speaking of jersey---no, I wont speak of jersey.  The true criminals run the banks who run our gov. and the americans are fed the false tacos of good cop/ bad cop left/ right but the good thing thing is paula abdul has her own show coming up and that is a good thing. I think a new show idea would be "not live to dance" but "live to lie" we get a bunch of flunky congressmen in a room and have contests to see who can lie the best. Our prez makes sure to watch his diet and not smoke so his wife can tell us to eat healthy, this makes me happy but there are no happy meals in san fran---the nanny gov took it away..instead of toys in your happy meal you get a can of bean sprouts and a copy of the communist manifesto for young readers. Dont expect 2011 to make any sense, at least any sense in the traditional sense of the word. If you like twilight zone logic then you can have some of that. We have a dog killer for a quarter back and people cheer for him. I would have locked him in a room with meat taped to his head and let the dogs in, personally--instead we give him millions. I am not bitter but cynicism is the spice of life. To an alien anthropologist we would seem like a world gone insane but I think the saving grace of america is our sense of humor. I find it all too damn funny, even my own misfortune. Laughter separates us from the animals (and from dead people) A sense of humor about things is like an umbrella, if you lose it you are screwed and nobody wants to hold wet newspapers on their head..you look like a jerk doing that.
