Zoe’s Journal

To say what I wanted to say.

Nothing much is going on…today was ordinary. Work was work, and home is home.

I turned on the television to watch American Idol, only to discover that W. Bush’s ubiquitous face was filling the screen of nearly every channel I turned to. Apparently, he was giving a State of the Union address. So, I willingly watched that instead. And Laughed.

God, I hate Bush.

I could not help but notice the blatant politicism of the divided room, and how when one Republican stood, the entire flock did the same. I say Republicans because they appeared to be the most herd-minded. I noticed several Democrats looking for all the world as if the speech was a farce. Why the Blue Sky do people applaud so long? Any sane person would not, unless forced. Ah, but there was force. Did you not see the peer pressure exerted by the herd mentality? (and why did Alito look like a little girl?)

I detest politics, but am fascinated by the horror.

I say, appoint a King and a Parliament and let it all be over with. Better yet, remember when the Boston Tea Party occurred…they threw revolt because they had tax on one item: Tea. Hello? We are taxed on everything, even our income, and we call ourselves free? I say, get rid of all government-run programs and let Man fend for himself. (I am saying this in the heat of the moment and not trying to be politically correct, nor am I considering any long-term consequences of my proposal. So Shut Up.)

*Sigh*

American Idol airs tomorrow. I shall certainly be watching. I think.

After the disappointing television session, I was restless and mentally searched for things to do. Ah! Pack! We filled up one box and two halves of boxes. Which does not equate One Other Box. (Am I being too literal?)

The Lord of the Realm and I finally have everything set up for the move. The electricity is ready to be turned on, the cable is scheduled to be installed/uninstalled, the doctor appointment is set for Thursday, and the Change of Address form is submitted to the Postal Office. Which, now that I think of it, we would not have if all government-run programs were shut down. Hmm. We could always go back to the Pony Express! Either that, or UPS and FedEx would be getting a lot more business.

GAH!!! Take it all away…
