I'm a Drain on Society

So my last day at work in the Military Industrial Complex was Thursday. Since then I've been officially unemployed, and am sliding toward my new status as a drain on society. Unfortunately I don't seem to be very good at it, since I've been spending my time on new-gig related calls, exercise, homework, and visiting with friends and family. Clearly I need some instruction from a radical right-wing populist on the wonders of welfare chauvinism to ensure my performance in this area is up to par moving forward.

It also means things are going to be quiet around here while I'm off destroying the fabric of family life and participating in general debauchery on my MASSIVE WELFARE CHECK*. Just kidding - I'll actually be in San Diego with Sister-from-another-Mister The Mechanicky Gal, where we'll spend my MASSIVE WELFARE CHECK* on spa treatments and outlet store shopping.

Snorting with Derision

This semester I'm being forced to take an upper level English composition class entitled, "Effective Communication: Research and Writing." Because evidently the two already completed upper division classes on this very topic were substandard and couldn't be accepted at my current University. As Sista Stacey notes, I obviously need to take this class ONE MORE TIME, because my writing sucketh.

So I read the syllabus and completed my first week's assignment, and I have to tell you - really? While I understand that many adult learners lack skills in basic writing skills, I would not consider the curriculum to be "upper division." More like, "lower division remedial." I suspect I'll be snoozing through this one, while the University laughs all the way to the bank.

My Platonic Boyfriend

My platonic boyfriend Eric Garland cracked me up with additional advice for the GOP on stopping their death spiral of irrelevance, bigotry and cognitive dissonance. The money quote: "Every year you are campaigning against the gay butt sex, you will lose more voters." Progress by attrition - it's not just for family dynasties anymore.

Have they delivered your pink Cadillac and fancy celluar phone yet? Those come standard with all welfare checks, from what I hear.

That's a great quote. The gay butt seks is the downfall of the GOPpers, and they know it. That's why they're fighting against it all the time. :)
