Joshua Minton’s Online Pulpit : Ex-Lax and Trimming Bush

I’ve been in my house five years now. I have a metal shower curtain rod in my bathroom. I have metal hooks that are on that shower curtain rod. For five fucking years, I’ve heard scraping metal against metal every blessed damn day in the morning. I complain about it in my head each time I hear it.

It has never occurred to me before today to replace the hooks.

I voted for George W. Bush twice for President and the first time was the second worst mistake I’ve ever made when voting a candidate into high office. But Bush will be gone soon and to boot, he now has the second lowest approval rating of any President in the 28 years they’ve been polling Ohioans. And I don’t think McCain’s going to be able to wash the stink of Republican incompetence off before the November election.

JD had the quote of the week:

I’ll never vote for any of you motherfuckers, ever again. I don’t give a fuck if Hugo Chavez is running against your ass and my only other choice, I’ll vote for him over you country-club frat-rat-butt-fucking sorority-gap-lapping motherfuckers.

And in the end, fuck it. I don’t care if he does or not. In many ways it feels like we’re about three elections past being able to turn this steamboat around from going off the cliff anyway. Maybe I’m just in a pessimistic mood today but it feels like we’ve been picking out our twelve course meal for our last supper for the past 8 years.

And I replaced those damned metal hooks with ball bearing ones. Rolls like ex-lax now.
