Alright, I though I was going to get to go all morning without a rant. Guess not. I'm really not in the mood to write, but there's nobody in the store and I'm bored to tears, which brings me to the rant subject of the day.
Ladies and gentleman, it's inauguration day.
Yes, where we swear in senor election theif for the second time. Remember last time? It was raining, nobody showed up, except for the few protesters that were there to egg his car? Shouldn't that have been a clue, an indication of the coming years? Obviously not. This one will probably be just as spectacular, I'm sure.
Getting to the subject, as many of you may or may not have already heard, today had been coined as "no damn dime day" (did you get that memo? I did.) The basic premise os this "action" is to refrain from spending any money today in protest of the re-president-ing.
Yes, yes, an novel concept to be sure. The idea behind it is that if enough people aren't pumping money into the economy for one day then we have succeeded in shutting it down, thus sending a message to the president "If you keep being the president, we'll never buy anything ever again!" or something to that extent (but this is only my interpretation of it.)
So, people-do not purchase anything today and then as Bush is getting sworn in (a 40 million dollar hoopla, I should add. Do you know how mnay people could be fed, how many schools could be helped, how much birth control that could buy?) I can just see some secret service guy walk up and whisper something in his ear. Bush will then stop what he is doing and walk up to the microphone with a "very importnat announcement".
"It has come to my attention that Wal-Mart's sales are down by 7%. I resign."
Seriously, a good idea, and if we can actually pull it off;
but
a) nobody will care
b) it will not really, accomplish anything-if you think about.
So do what you're gonna do and keep fighting the good fight, but just know it might not amount to anything.
Sorry to be a bummer,
THE END.
