Day .. nah ... new--- POST three, 7/31/09

Like ANYONE but me cares, took a day off from the PC yesterday. So, here it is Friday, looking to a night of no work because the economy sucks and so do my venues (read: supposed to play tonight, club went belly-up last week). But I have SO much to do today (one of the joys of being self-employed is being able to ALWAYS say that, since you really only do as much work as you want to on any given day. So, even though I may do NOTHING today, I can SAY, "OH, I have SO much to DO!" without being too full of shit.), and I'm sober, out of money leaving me unable to get UN-sober any time soon ... sooooo, I can't think of anything pithy to say right now (and, no, I do not have a lisp).
So as to appear to have done one thing today at least, I will say this: The first news story I came across when I fired up my PC was the Wisconsin trial of a man who watched his young daughter die slowly and painfully with a treatable illness (diabetes, basically) because he's a Christian and he felt praying was enough, and who is he to question God by taking his daughter to a doctor. Now, I have so much I COULD say about this, but I'll be brief --- I hope they find him guilty of reckless homicide (as he is charged, though I think that's being nice), I hope they lock him away in a prison that is famous for gang rapes and beatings for the rest of his life, then walk him down The Green Mile and fry, inject, shoot him to death the day before he thought he was going to be paroled. His wife, tried separately, was found guilty and could get up to 25 years --- that surprised, but pleased me; though I fear she'll get out MUCH too soon no matter what. Oh, why so harsh on God-fearing folk, you Commie Atheist you, you may say? Again, simply -- OK, we have this "freedom of religion" thing in the USofA --- great. That is the defense's argument for letting him walk. Well, hey we also have this "freedom of speech" thingy --- BUT, you CAN be ARRESTED for yelling "THEATER!!" in a crowded firehouse, "free speech" be damned if it deliberately causes harm to others. To me, same thing applies --- you kill your own daughter because you are such a blind idiot as to not at least CONSIDER the possibility that God made doctors TOO, dumbass, then off to prison you go, sit in a corner (IF you can sit!) and think about what you've done until no one remembers your name or whether or not YOU have gone to shake hands with your God.
Back to "work." Ciao!
