OK, I want everyone to read this and reeeeaaallly think about it.
"On February 7, 2002, the President issued a memorandum stating that he determined the Geneva Convention did not apply to the conflict with Al Qaeda, and although they did apply in the conflict with Afghanistan, the Taliban were unlawful combantants and therefore did not qualify for prisoner of war status." (from the Schlesinger Report, a report commissioned by Donald H. Rumsfeld himself)
Think about that. He shit on the Geneva Convention, a convention recognized the world over for generations, through dozens of extraordinary wars and/or "police actions", so that his administration could torture "detainees" with impunity.
That makes me sick. What makes me sick is that there's a thousand things like this that I'm going to be posting in the next few days.

Then I call an air conditioning/heater repair company who were supposed to do work for me three weeks ago to see if the work had even begun yet. The secretary who handled my calls was out of the office for the week so no one knew anything about anything. I shit you not. They couldn't even tell me if the work order had been written yet. WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?!? How the FUCK does a company that size not know what's going on when a fucking secretary goes out of town? I mean, shouldn't there be paperwork everywhere? It's a two thousand dollar job, it's not some piddly shit "come change my air filter for me" type thing.
Jesus, the people I deal with are fucking idiots. I swear. My IQ is dropping by the second whenever I have to deal with these fuckers.
In good news, I rented the new "Dawn of the Dead" movie, the remake, so I'm going to open a new bottle of wine and get really drunk while watching it later on tonight after I've finished showing one of my houses.
