Do they really think God cares about the American economy?

Those people disgust me. I am absolutely disgusted.

How does one put an SUV on an alter?

Sounds like a strange religion whatever it is.

I hope you don't mind I haven't bathed in about three weeks.

This sounds like a refreshing change of scenery, at this point.

You should see some of the houses I have to walk around in when I'm doing fire department work.

There's some disgusting people out there that seems too farfetched to be true.

I will rep you with my tiny, insignificant rep if you tell me about the GROSSEST HOUSE EVER.

I will later.

But, for a small, gross story from last night.

We get called at 4 AM to an apartment that has basically been let go. The cat in the house was terrified when we went through the door (we had access through his lockbox), catshit everywhere as well, most likely a few days old.

Inside the bedroom, the man is handicapped, cannot walk, but his wheelchair is right by him. He confesses that he had to go to the bathroom, but was too tired to get on the wheelchair, and go all the way to the bathroom. So we grab him a water bottle (ambulances don't carry pisscups), and he just leaves it on his bed counter for the next day.

Scary part, I go to have him sign a signature, and another water bottle tips over. I'm not sure what was in it...

Was that before or after you rescued his cat from a tree?

I agree. What makes it worse is that they should know better. If they had any real faith in what they claim to believe, they would be praying for God's will to be done, not for a bailout. Real faith is tested in trials.

My taxi is supposed to be here in 30 minutes. Guh, I hate this part, having to rely on someone you don't know to do something major for ya.

Why the fuck didn't anyone respond to this? I was crying I was laughing so hard. Beautiful artwork. Inspired. Fucking inspired.

"I'd love if one of the SUV's fell off its alter and crushed them." isn't really a sarcastic statement. It's more just saying something you don't believe.

Yeah. Sorry, meg, there's nothing in that statement that I'd call sarcastic. If it was insincere, then it was insincere, fine. But sarcasm it wasn't.

And there was nothing particularly entertaining about that statement that made it read as obviously insincere either.

Tee-hee.

I have yet to do that actually.

The city doesn't have any high trees. Just trailer parks it seems.

However, I detected the sarcasm in meg's post, and it was in reference to Mara's former coworker, not the SUV falling off the alter. So...

I have been given the job of cleaning out his office (going through papers, etc.) I'm not supposed to be doing the actual spray-and-wipe part of the cleaning, because our janitor will handle that when I'm done.

In the meantime, however, I'm dealing with some really revolting biological debris. I'll open a folder and out will fall dust that could be dandruff, or skin, or food particles, or paper. I swear I have found wiped snot on at least a dozen folders and binders. There are food and drink stains on everything. On his chair, there's an outline where his butt was, and then outside that is... something. Something white and powdery.

I don't think I will ever eat again.

On second thought, maybe you should accept your friend-with-benefits' job offer.

In that type of job, she becomes that dirty person. :)

Yeah I don't know why I called it sarcasm. But I definitely didn't mean it seriously...I don't wish death on anyone. I just find the whole issue ridiculous.

Whatever, dropping it.

How about them Dodgers?

I'm going to call him tonight about that, actually. It's too much money to ignore, even though I'm certain I won't actually get the job.

Anyone else who can't stand the Canadian radio personality Stuart McLean?

His "Vinyl Café" stories are utter bollocks.

Hey our Governor has been arrested. I think 3 of our last 7 Governors are currently in prison - something like that.

Saw that.

If it's any consolation, there was no one to speak at my high school graduation because my principal and superintendant had been arrested. I think we ended up having a commencement address from the choir teacher.

This story is getting progressively nastier.

Although I can't help thinking what a great episode of The West Wing it would have made.

Wow. What a slimeball. The article I read had direct quotes from the wire-tap, and assuming their true, this guy is in a world of shit.
