It's fuckin' Paul

Not exactly new news, but Paul Wolfowitz has been tapped to head the World Bank. That's pretty special. You know, we should just get it over with and change the American flag so that it's nothing more than the image of a middle finger.

The sad thing was that the other leading candidate (at least as far as the rumor mill went) was ex-Hewlett Packard, errr, ex-HP CEO Carly Fiorina. Ahhh, the time-honored American tradition of having to choose between shit and... Shit. While Wolfowitz is, well, Wolfowitz, and therefore not exactly qualified to be in charge of helping the poor (in addition to being a dick), Carly has the distinction of helping to run one of the world's most admired companies into the ground. Now, I don't work for HP (considering all the layoffs they've been through, who does?), but I do have it on good authority that HP isn't what it used to be, and she had a teency bit to do with fucking it all up.

So yeah, other than my inborn tendency for knee-jerk reaction, none of this shit is really bothering me that much. The world is fucked and there's nothing we can do about it. Another thing in recent days that showed just how apathetic I am was the decision to start ripping up ANWR for oil. I should be pissed about this but I just can't work up the energy (no pun intended). I mean, it was only a matter of time before the Republicans got their way on this. And what is everyone else to do about it? Vote so that shit like this doesn't happen? We're too fucking stupid for that! Speaking of stupid:

Democrat presidential contender John Kerry was more succinct: "It's a sad day when the Senate sells off America's public lands to the highest bidder," he said.

Once again, thanks for nothing, dipshit. Seriously, if this man tries to run in 2008, someone punch him in the fucking cock.
