Still catching up on the weekend. Friday was McGuirks with Phil. We’re still working on the wingman thing. Saturday was Velvet with Reena. Met a Sara, whom I still have to call.
My sleep pattern on the weekends directly conflicts with the sleep I need to get to function during the weekdays. 2 to 4 in the morning is not acceptable as a bedtime when you need to be up by 7AM at the latest.
After Bush’s rambling pack of half-truths last night, I went and saw Greg Palast speak last night. Greg is an old school investigative reporter that has uncovered blatant evidence of vote tampering in Florida’s 2000 election practices by the Bushes, exposed Enron before its crash, and continually portrayed the IMF and World Bank for the corrupt business schills that they are. The contrast in styles, content, demeanor, and implied ethics between him and Bush was so striking that I was lost in a haze for the rest of the night. One thing particularly stood out. After each story of corruption and manipulation, Greg would produce documents proving his claims. I still waiting on any type of proof from Bush.
I work so hard to avoid becoming a crazy conspiracy-type liberal. It’s getting harder when the conspirators are so blatant. Nothing like inviting only your business buddies to profit from a war you haven’t started yet. Kickbacks and payoffs abound.
I’m just glad I filled my gas tank before Monday night.
