Forgot last week, and forgot it was Friday today...

I don't really have much to bitch about.  Have at it.

Eurgh.

I'd found a story that pissed me off royally: here, a divorced or divorcing dad is being taken to court over whether or not he's a fit parent to his four year old boy, because he refused to take the kid to McDonalds.

I was angry.  I wanted to cunt-punt the bitch ruining her child into orbit.

And then...I started feeling kinda bad.  I gave it a little bit of time and a 32 oz bottle of water, thinking I might just need to drink some more, but just kept feeling worse.  Had a toddy, and it didn't help.

I feel like I have the flu: all over aches, and my skin hurts.  And I have to work today.

And that can fuck off.

a list

Radical feminists.  Radical feminists can fuck the fuck off.  So can radical Leftists, the radical Right, radical Christians, rabid radical evangelical atheists, radical Muslims...basically radical anything.  I cannot stand radicals, or radicalism. 

Parents.  Selfish parents.  Selfish parents who don't bother teaching their sprogs how to behave, who decide to go to a pep rally at a local school instead of taking small children trick-or-treating early, who simply don't care enough about their children to be parents.  Those people can fuck off with a rusty coat hanger. 

My colleagues who are proponents of Common Core can fuck the fucking fuckety fuck off.  The Lexiles aren't the only thing that sucks donkey dick--the whole thing is designed to create cogs for the national machine, much like Brave New World created alphas, betas, deltas, and gammas to fill certain positions in society, only without the artificial creation of mental disabilities to ensure the bottom layer is happy in their positions. 

the "Affordable" Care Act

I read, Wednesday, yesterday, and today, that millions of people are being dropped from their insurance because of the rules of the "Affordable" Care Act, and that those companies are expecting people to sign back up with them in the exchanges (that don't work).  Those companies can fuck the fucking fuck off.  How many of those were dropped for "insufficient" coverage, and how many of those would have rather kept their plans and paid the punitive punishment taxes?

There's also the factor that the fucking website doesn't fucking work.  The fucking fucks in charge of this abortion crossed with ass-rape with a sandpaper condom of a law decided, in their infinite wisdom, to hire the same company that Canada filed charges against for failing to create a working website within the budget proposed in the timeline proposed.  And they decided to hire that company without researching them, or even putting it to a bidding process!

So, yeah: the "Affordable" Care Act, and all of its authors, signatories, and supporters, can fuck the fucking fuck off.  And the signatories and authors can shove all six feet of the bill printed off up their individual asses. 

Fall Break and me.

Because I didn't have classes to teach on Monday, I completely forgot that today was Friday.  So I can FTFO for forgetting the FFOT.

Bonehead English

I'm actually in a decently good mood for being as tired as I am.  My Comp II class really far ahead of where I thought they would be at this point.  They're about a week ahead, which means that they'll have an extra week on their research paper. 

The Comp II class has an average grade on the first draft of the papers of about 95%.  They're really good this semester.

The Comp I class, on the other hand...the average grade is an 89%.  Most of the class gets 90/100 or higher; however...I have one student who came from Bonehead English.  Their average paper grade is around a 60%.  The student has been very ill-served, and I know why.

The Bonehead English director tells his instructors to not give students poor grades.  We wouldn't, after all, want the poor dears to get discouraged and drop out!  We can't possibly make it clear to them that they have a lot of work to do to come up to par for university level writing! 

The director of Bonehead English for my university can fuck off.  With the failing papers of his past students folded until they're all corners, and shoved up his ass sideways. 

political grandstanding.

Exactly what world do the idiots in charge live in that they think a government shutdown is going to make a nation already angry as fuck about the "Affordable" Care Act accept the shit sandwich we've been served with a smile and humble gratitude?  Where the fuck do they fucking think they live, fucking France?  Not even close, motherfuckers.  Yes, you have sheep, terrified and brainless, living in the cities with you.  However.  You fuckers have fucking forgotten flyover country. 

Take, for instance, your fucking cowardly, petty, and nasty decision to not just close national parks, but to close off monuments that are open air parks with no guards.  Especially the WWII memorial.  How much did it cost to rent barriers and put them up around that memorial, then staff it with guards, huh?  And why the fuck did you do it?  To make us feel the government shutdown?

And your timing was shit, and did you no fucking good whatsoever.  Those WWII vets you were trying to punish for the nation calling their representatives about your horrible laws?  Yeah, they weren't called The Greatest Generation for nothing, and you fuckstick dick-riders are fucking nothing compared to the Germans and Japanese.  Your little grandstanding there just fucking pissed the rest of us off. 

And it's the same with the fucking privately owned, funded, and run national monuments that you've fucking taken fucking ownership of for the duration of the "emergency."  That heritage farm?  Yeah, NOT YOURS.

Most of the nation (except for those who've lost their jobs because you fuckwits are too fucking stupid to fucking realize that you are not a fucking ruling class and we, the people are not fucking serfs) are FUCKING THANKFUL for the fucking government shutdown.  It fucking means you can't do anything else to fucking ass-rape the fucking nation with a god-damned fucking sandpaper fucking condom. 

To conclude: WE, THE PEOPLE, DO NOT FUCKING WANT YOUR "AFFORDABLE" CARE ACT.  WE DO NOT WANT THE FUCKING DEBT CEILING RAISED.  WE CANNOT PAY OUR BILLS, AND WE DO NOT WANT YOU SHOVELING THE SHIT DEEPER.  FUCK THE FUCKING FUCK OFF, AND LET'S SEE IF WE CAN FUCKING MAKE THIS FUCKING GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN LAST FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS.
