Another weekend... gone

It's still gloomy and cold and wet here. It's gone on for days on end, which is just supremely weird for Denver. It's either rained, snowed, or done both every day since like last Tuesday or Wednesday. If it wasn't for all the medication, I'm sure I'd be depressed.

So what about this crazy heifer in Georgia who got her whole ass-backwards state worked into a lather, and even made national news, by faking her own abduction because she was stressed out about her wedding? I guess my thought is that if you're going to be that flipped out over an impending wedding, scale it the hell back a notch! Honestly, it's statistically just as likely to end in bitter, expensive divorce in a few years anyway, so why make it such a huge production? And Gwinnett County police are actually debating whether or not to press charges. What's to debate? Volunteers crawled around in drainage ditches, wandered around in the woods all night, searched everywhere... her family and friends agonized for days, imagining the worst... police departments spent thousands of dollars conducting searches and holding press conferences. And there's even a shred of possibility that this whack job chick won't be charged with something? And yet, a school in New Mexico went into a two-hour lockdown, complete with police, over an extra-large burrito (read about that one here). There is something seriously wrong with this picture. If it wasn't for all the medication, I'm sure I'd be concerned.

Meanwhile, Bush's second term is continuing to collapse around him, much to my delight. I can't quite figure out why he's so determined to shove through this Social Security "reform" package. I guess when it became evident that he wasn't going to constitutionally outlaw gay marriage, he had to pick a new obsession. Wonder what's next on his hit list? You know, just in case trashing the economy, the environment, and the U.S. Consitititution isn't enough of a legacy for him. If it wasn't for all this medication, I'm sure I'd be outraged.
