• It’s my birthday and I’ll rant if I want to

  It’s my birthday, and I finally got to see Batman.(ROCKED) I got fancy perfume and a couple outfits. I ate till I was physically ill at Chili’s last night. It was perfect.

  But let’s get back to politics.

  It’s human instinct to place blame on someone else when you know you’ve screwed up. Trace the roots back to the very first human beings on the planet: Adam and Eve. Adam said, “Duh, but Eve said I should eat the apple.”
  And Eve said, “Nuh uh!! The snake told me to do it!”

  “Fix me now. My life is going to hell, and I need someone to blame.” So let’s blame the government. Do you agree? No? Well, you should. After all, you took out too big of a mortgage on your house and now you expect  the government to fix it.  Didn’t pay attention in school? Got poor grades and didn’t go to college? Now you have a lousy job with crappy wages and someone should do something about it. Who’s the current scapegoat? Oh yeah. The government should fix this.

    Thirty years ago we blamed all of our troubles on the Russians. (during the Cold War.)  In the 90′s, everyone told Maury Povich how badly their parents had screwed them up. Now we need a new scapegoat. Who ever takes personal responsibility these days?  So what  if I bought a brand new car? Oh wait… I can’t afford health insurance for my family.  The government should be taking care of this.

    I seriously wish just once I could hear someone say, “I traded in my car for a smaller, slightly older car and got rid of my satellite TV so I can make ends meet. I don’t want to default on my loans so I’m going to take responsibility for my checkbook. I want a better paying job so I’m going to go to take evening classes and further my education.”

  Ewww… Responsibility. What a dirty word. Nope. Instead, we’ll play the blame game.  Someone else should fix this. It’s so easy to be mad at the president or congress  because they’re imperfect figure heads. Being that they’re imperfect, why couldn’t I blame my problems on them? So we shall. And since we have a liberal congress who’s trying to elect a liberal president, they’ll tell us what we want to hear. They’re going to fix all of our problems. So what if they tax the hell out of us to do it. So what if our taxes jet so sky high to raise government spending  that we can’t afford  that car, that satellite, the mortgage, etc… Or is this a little bit of foresight?

  Think about it and wish me happy birthday.
  I baked strawberry cupcakes and I’ll share them with you. =)
