Georgia’s 8th District Congressman, Lynn Westmoreland, is sponsoring legislation to add the Ten Commandments to the Consitution of the United States of America.

It’d probably help if he knew them.

HT: The Jamil Show.

Fuck You

Fuck you, Netflix.

Two returns today. When do they anticipate shipping out my next two movies?

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow doesn’t do me any good, Netflix. By shipping them tomorrow, I don’t get them until Wednesday. Tuesday is my day off. Wednesday I’m working all day. Shipping them tomorrow fucks me, Netflix, and you’ve been pulling a lot of this “shipping tomorrow” bullshit lately.

Netflix, you suck monkey ass.

*UPDATE*

Apparently, Netflix reads my blog. Now they’re “shipping today.”

Good Day

Any day Gary isn’t working is a good day to work. In at ten, just got home, no bullshit cleaning, no angry screaming matches, just prep, deliveries, dishes, and check out. Tomorrow won’t be so fun — he’s had a three day weekend, so tomorrow will be a lot of bullshit cleaning and screaming matches in addition to the prep, the deliveries, and the check out.

This is precisely why I took tomorrow off.

Sometimes, you just have to know when it’s better to stay home and away from it all.

Because I can never only be reading one book at a time …

FLYBOYS by James Bradley

Focusing on nine American airmen shot down over the Japanese garrisoned island of Chichi Jima, it’s also told in the context of Japan’s emergence as an imperial power following Commodore Perry’s arrival in Tokyo Bay, and the bastardization of the Samurai Bushido which led to an army trained to believe it was invincible, and convinced that all those it encountered less than subhuman, and prisoners less than that. Of the nine airmen, eight were captured and executed. The lone survivor would eventually become the 41st President of the United States.

VOYAGE by Philip Caputo

At a turn of the century, in 1901, Cyrus Braithwaite’s three children — all boys — recieve strange orders from their father: they’re to take the schooner Double Eagle and depart the family’s Massachussetts home for three months. A century later, one of the brother’s granddaughter begins to pierce together the mystery left in the wake — from the backcover, a “stunning tale of intrigue, murder, lies and deceit.”

THE PIRATE HUNTER by Richard Zacks

Bill Kidd. Pirate? Or Pirate Hunter? I feel silly including the book — I’m like ten pages into it. I’ve barely started it!
