Too Too Tired
I’m too tired to rant about the lousy Starbucks service at the Santa Fe, nor the idiot who kept smacking the buttons on his Hoot Loot (or some dumb name) slot machine. I’m tired because it’s
The German Shepherd is bugging the new cats, the cats are hissing, the little dogs are whining. It’s just fucking unpleasant and I would like to go to bed and read.
Today was a nice enough day to start. The weather was gorgeous—it’s that weather we paid good money to find in Las Vegas, 69F in winter. Just delightful. You should’ve been here. My parents were buying lunch. We had plantains (yes!), Korean bbq, crawfish and other stuff (it was the Gold Coast buffet) to finish it off banana soft-serve ice-cream with chocolate sprinkles. Perfection.
Now, I must sleep, before my hormones realize I’m plotting against them with medication. I’m tip-toeing off…

Idiot of the Day - In Plural
Oh, consider yesterday’s Jonathan & Victoria entry a bonus. A gift to the universe perhaps. It’s because today, I’ve found new idiots. Read the list and weep, baby — these are the people who think it’s worth paying a quarter of a million dollars (or a mere 50k , in the case of the “impoverished” donors) to rub shoulders with pure unadulterated evil. To rub shoulders with people who probably still think there are WMDs in Iraq, people who still think it was a good idea to start Viet, er, Iraq, because Saddam was a bad bad man. Yeah, like the MILLIONS of people dying in Africa are less important, huh? Boy, I’ll bet those dead & starving people in Darfur wish they had them some oil…

Idiot of the Day, Phi-liminated!
There almost couldn’t have been a more satisfying ending to tonight’s TAR. Maybe if they’d been so far behind that Phil had to travel somewhere in the middle of the night to rid the show of them. Goodbye Jonathan & Victoria, you’ve been Phi-liminated. I’d like to thank Victoria for making the phi joke possible. The Golden Ratio fan in me appreciates the opportunity.
May reality tv never show this kind of verbal abuse and physical intimidation again.
I’m sorry I jumped the gun by an hour or so and included Jonathan as my second idiot (or one of four, as it were), but I couldn’t wait any longer. The window repair people are coming tomorrow and we must prepare for their prying.
early morning
Idiot of the Day - Gary Bettman and Bob Goodenow
Gary Bettman and Bob Goodenow, for being useless at resolving the NHL lockout. If they don’t hurry up, there won’t be any hockey fans left, then where will they be? Pickup hockey doesn’t pay its executives much. Bring me back my Leafs!

Idiot of the Day - George W. Bush
And thus, a series begins…
Our very first Idiot of the Day really deserves so much more than a day, but we’ll start with one day and proceed as will ultimately be necessary. Yes, you guessed it, our first idiot is George W. Bush and this quote, “Asked why bin Laden was not been captured yet, the president responded, “Because he’s hiding.”
Stay tuned though, because while I don’t get out much, every single time I leave my house, I run across rude people, mean people (really, throwing a beverage at a Starbucks employee because the foam wasn’t right?), stupid people (NV plate - GODSWUS - God’s wuss?) and just annoying circumstances.
