best song ever
I'm proud to be an American
Where I get 5 mpgs
Though I live alone the car I own
Could seat, ahundred three
And I'll proudly park so close to you
Than when you look out you can't see.
No I'll never trade my Escalade!
God Bless my SUV!

sing about it
Why is it that if you don't like that song "I'm proud to be an American, Where atleast I know I'm free." you're automatically labled a terrorist.
Seriously...thats what someone called me.
I think a patirot dosnt have to paint themselves in red white a blue, and love everyone in office, to love their country.
You can show your patriotism by using the rights you were given to begin with. Speak freely, and question constantly.
Have you noticed how people are afraid to speak up latley? Like some guys in suites are gonna come knock on your door.
Christ. The whole reason we're here is to really know we're free. Not just freedom for the ones who sing about it.

Dear God.
OCEAN CITY -- For the third straight year lawmakers in the Maryland General Assembly have introduced legislation to ban smoking in bars and restaurants and establishment owners -- and legislators -- say chances of it becoming law are high this year.......
"I have a good feeling about this year," said Frush, who has sponsored similar bills in past sessions. "It needs to get out of committee first and the chairman is not quite sure there yet, but he knows it's the right thing to do and knows he should do it."
"I think as we come out with more statistics on the health disabilities of being in a smoke-filled room, it becomes obvious what we need to do," Frush said. "As someone who is charged with the protection of the health and welfare of our people, I just can't see not doing something."
Shouldn't it be the resturant owner's desicion?!? If people dont want to be in a smoky bar...then just don't fucking go there you moron!
Arn't there more important things to worry about? Soon they'll be saying we arn't allowed to smoke in our own homes. Now I'm sorry I've been addicted to cancer sticks since I was 15, but for fucks sake, thats my shtick not yours.
So back off of my little cornor bar and shit food house, and don't ban smoking, when the city needs a drag the most.

goth cigerette taxes
My problem is I like tasks where I know there are a start and a finish. Maybe that makes me a grunt worker, a red coat, or “the help”, but at least I know what the hell I’m doing and what’s expected of me.
Now don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my new job, even with being “the bitch” (as in whored out, not crabby) intern and I love the people (and the money). However I’m known as a problem solver, someone who can be creative and fix things for people, and just get obscure jobs done. And that couldn’t be more far from the truth. My father’s reputation has either blown out of proportion, or soiled, mine.
So I’m thinking about joining up and volunteering for O’Malley now that Duncan’s gone. I didn’t like Duncan all that much; he was going to raise cigarette taxes, so that immediately puts him on my ‘not so good’ list. Not that I should be smoking, but he doesn’t have a right to tell me that, so shut up and pass the tobacco, bitch.
My boss said I look ‘Goth’ today. That can’t be good.
SOmetimes I don't feel like I'm doing anything here. My Boss said that was cool, and I needed to run at 60% maximum efficiency, while he does 180....but i still feel usless.
It's a common feeling for me.
