Does anyone care?

I started thinking today, while watching yet more of the continuing Gulf oil spill coverage, does anyone care about Haiti anymore? I mean Anderson Cooper spent weeks there after the earthquake reporting while simultaneously wearing Prada and Gucci T-shirts. Now the gray-haired hottie is reporting from the Gulf nightly. It seems that we are in a new news cycle. To be honest, I was done with the trials and tribulations of the Haitians.

Now, I am sick of the Gulf shit! Why don't we just understand a few simple things about the situation: BP cares about nothing but making a profit. As a public company, that's their job, get over it. The United States government is headed by an idiot who has several idiots working for and around him. You think George W. was unprepared for Katrina? Wait until some massive infrastructure destroying act of God occurs to see how this ill prepared dumbass reacts. Finally, I could give a shit about the Gulf of Mexico. In my opinion, it's a just a step above Lake Norfork, a giant swirling cesspool filled with feces, trash, and now oil. Don't get me wrong, I do feel awful for the animals. But that's about it. As long as the globs of oil stay away from the Virgin Islands (where I'm crusing this Fall) I'll be fine.

Jesus Christ it's hot. I hate all you bastards who constantly wish for summer. Summer sucks a big dick in my opinion. Give me Alaska any day! I would like to move to a climate that stays below 60 degrees year-round. Get over this summer shit folks. Crocs and flip-flops look like hell.

I'm keeping my mother's dog Sophie while they are in Hot Springs. I must say that having 4 dogs inside the house isn't much different than have 3. I've decided that once you pass the third it's all the same. When we move out of the city I'm going to have several animals. I'm most excited about having goats. Yes, goats. They are just so damn adorable. Screw horses; the damn things sweat and that makes me sick.

Today's China discussion: The city of Beijing regulates air-conditioning. While we were in China during May, temperatures soared into the upper 80's. Well, since it was not time for the government to allow air conditioning yet, we roasted. One member of our group called the front desk to complain that her air wasn't working only to be told that she needed to open the window. I hope to hell they get over that soon!

That's all for todays ramblings. If you disagree with anything I type, suck a big one. It's my blog, get your own!
