this sucks
i'm unhappy about this one. so to you liquor stores, and big business (not in their best interest obviously) and you police groups who are rejecting it because it would mean you would have to WORK harder, i'm just going to say this.
go fuck yourself.
do you honestly believe that a supermarket can give you an informed description of a wine? do you honestly believe that a supermarket is going to line its shelves with $30+ bottles of wine? do you honestly believe that a wine consumer such as myself is going to goto the supermarket (or kwik-ee mart) to buy a nice bottle of wine for someone?
fuck no. they will sell the inexpensive bottles of wine. nothing fancy. stuff that you get for the party you are going to throw. wine you don't care about if the bottle isn't finished. and if i want learn about a wine, or ask what would go good with {insert meal choice here}, i'm NOT going to the supermarket to ask them. i'll go to a liquor store and ASK someone there. and most likely, the liquor store WILL get my money, not the supermarket.
i can understand it more if it was beer and wine (or just beer) because lots of people buy the crappy beers (bud, coors, etc). i can see liquor stores losing money over that. but wine? give me a fucking break.
so, again, go fuck yourself.
i'm just glad my supermarket has a FULL liqour license, so i can buy beer, wine and vodka at the same time.
while waiting for things to start, i caught the CBS election update (yes, i did my civic duty after work) and after the last presidential election, they changed their wording in the current results.
rather than saying that someone has won, it was "CBS estimates that {insert person} has won"
NPR was talking about this a bit tonight as well about how the media used to hire companies to run exit polls (none at my polling station) and how there were leaks and blogs were spreading exit poll information, but this year, exit polls were being closely guarded and only just beginning to come out (5pm).
NPR also said that they were not using exit polls, but instead results as reported by AP and their own analysts. so we shall see.
and just how much was spent on this years elections? last number i heard was $1.4 BILLION. so much for the little guy getting into politics to try and make a change. i'm all in favor of that election reform thing. i say give candidates a $5 million ceiling, and if you spend a penny more, you automatically lose the election. spend the money any way you like, but all competitors get the same amount of money.
now, for small scale elections (mayor, etc), no need to give them that high a number, but for the large scale elections (governor, senator) go to the $5M. presidential election, $25M total. they get the exception, but the moment they spend a penny more than the $25M, the candidate in question has to pay a $500k fine per $1 over. no appeals. all receipts are kept and anything that does not add up properly results in an automatic $50k fine per discprepancy.
unfortunately, this is just an idea i have, plus there are countless issues that need to be addressed, but at least you get an idea of what pretends to rattle around in this head of mine. and this is prolly the most political blog entry i've done in a while. won't be ones this political for a while most likely.
i hate playing insomniac molius. i have no fucking clue what it is that is keeping me up right now, but whatever it is, it isn't making me tired.
i'm sposed to be heading to work in a few hours. and i was sposed to be asleep a few hours ago too. that's the whole concept of a "Good Nights Sleep". i even went to bed early which may have been my fault. i stayed up to watch the end of the Pats game (they lost to the Colts, a team i feel if they are going to lose to, is a good team to lose to. Colts = quality team.)
but when i tried to goto bed afterwards (i didn't watch the very end), just laying in bed with the light turned off didn't do anything. and that was around 1130. some near 3 hours ago. usually, even on bad nights, i'd manage to fall asleep by now, but right now i'm pretty much baffled. i can't think of anything that should be keeping me up. work is busy, but nothing overly stressful. i had friday off so it's not like that stress should have carried over. relationships are pretty much on an even keel. don't have any bills to pay. some car repairs to do, but nothing that hasn't already waited a few months. and it's even a short work week for me.
so, here i am sitting and typing trying to see if this will tire me out or not, but i somehow doubt it. and it's not like i spent a stressful day today either. if anything, i spent several hours trying to see if i could get something to work. it didn't, but it isn't anything that would cause undo stress. and this is the first time i've thought about it since 9pm or so when i stopped working on it.
i don't need to remember to bring lunch to work, i have one. the coffee stuff i need is in the car already. i'm out of soda, but i have juice to go with lunch. i just don't get it.
oh, there was one thing that i can think of that might have contributed. for some reason, even tho i was warm under my covers, my feet were really cold, which always makes it hard for me to fall asleep, but they warmed up after a little while. i don't know. maybe the 2 yawns i've just (make that 3 now) mean i can goto bed.
i should adjust my alarm a little.
whoa.
i love aliens, but this just screams NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD!
(where's ogre when you need him?)
stupid cold, windy and rainy days. that's the one thing that seems to affect my DSL connection because a few minutes ago, but now it seems to be back. and then it's going to go away. and come back. and go away. and come back. and go away.
alllll day.
good thing i have other plans, but it's really irritating and there isn't much i can do about it.
there are how many Petronas Towers? cuz that's how many days are left before i can get my new phone. still not soon enuff...
so close...yet so far away.
(yes, i know the lyrics have no relation to my little countdown. but it's one of my favorite songs so the title fits)
just for THIS POLITICAL AD, i have to say this:
VOTE FOR RON KIND!
(it's 4.3mb, so it takes a little while to load, but it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO worth the wait. maybe voting season can be more entertaining than i thought.)
thanks O&A
