Well...that is something. Guess we'll have it again on 11/11/11 at 11:11 am and 11:11 pm. Not sure what it is supposed to mean. Not sure I care.

One thing is for sure; it is only 1/11/11 and already too much has happened. I'm still asking for a restart button for this year.

Week 1-2) January 3 in the ER with a kidney stone, still waiting for that passing,

Week 1-2) My sweet dog is pretty sick vomiting, UTI, apparently has spinal bridging issues and bowel issues. Still working on getting her better,

Week 1-2) My sweet friend in CA is fighting for her life after her 5 year battle with breast cancer. She currently can only move her hands with one of the many tumors lodged in her spinal cord,

Week 2) Shootings in AZ last weekend really made me very sad. The deaths, the senseless injuries and poor Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) lying in the hospital fighting for her life,

Week 2) A good friend just lost his dad this morning.

Seriously, I think we need a collective restart/easy button. It is only 1/11/11 and already this year has been shitty. So phooey on 1/11/11. I hope by 11/11/11 at 11:11 am things will be better.

From the, "This would only happen to me" file....

Mr. I and I went to visit our Financial Guy for our annual check-up. It was one of those meetings where you leave with a few printed reports telling you how broke you are. Anyway, after the meeting I needed to go to the Lady's Room. So, I headed down the hall, stack of papers in tow.

I entered the bathroom and realized I had no place to put the papers. So, I put them on the back of the toilet. Now...don't get ahead of me here...

I sat, did my business (strictly liquid, if you must know) and then stood. As I stood I felt and heard a rustle of papers. I turned quickly to find one of the reports (the full report mind you) there, in the toilet, marinating in "my business". Of course, I had to grab the papers. Now what? I retrieved them from the toilet and stuck them in the garbage. I realized that my entire personal report, all 4 pages of it, was the information that took the plunge. The other two sets I was holding were fine.

Now, after retrieving the soggy report, I had to go tell my Financial Guy's daughters (they work there as well) about my dilemma. Of course, I had to apologize for what they were to find in the trash can. And, of course, I needed them to print another report. Luckily, I know these people pretty well.

A normal person would have been mortified, or at the very least, embarrassed. I really wasn't embarrassed. I found it more amusing than anything. My first thought, after, "Oh No! I have to put my hands....in there!" was, "Wow! This will make a great blog post or FaceBook status."

I ask you....WTF is wrong with me? I've been overtaken by the narcissistic reality show bug? Just have to put my business on the street? Well, maybe. But you have to admit, it was pretty damn funny.

I hope beyond hope that the fall wasn't a sign of my financial status for 2011. Because if it is, that's really gonna piss me off.

Jon Stewart's Last Show For 2010 Dedicated to 9/11 First Responders Getting the Shaft from DC--Must See TV

Jon Stewart is the most trusted name in news for a reason. He devoted the last show of 2010 to the 9/11 First Responders and the GOP representatives who chose to block the Zadroga bill in the Senate. Jon brings the shameful acts of several GOP Senators to light. No one else did before this. NO ONE on any major network bothered to even mention this bill. SHAMEFUL.

Well, you know what? Any Democrat or Republican who did not vote to pass the Zadroga Bill in the House or Senate (Yes, I know it passed the House....doesn't matter) should have their Tax Payer paid Health Insurance revoked. Police and Fire Fighters should boycott the protection of each of their many homes and personal beings and they should picket their homes....daily. Additionally, they should retire from the Senate and House and forfeit their Tax Payer paid lifetime pensions.

So there is a little Bipartisanship for you. Across the board, if those so called "leaders" don't think enough of 9/11 First Responders and their families to help them with thier health and financial issues, then they shouldn't hold office nor should they receive any money from the Tax Payer. Period. The End.

Oh Boy! The majority who got off their lazy asses and voted in November, are bringing more of those pieces of wasted flesh to DC. Oh Joy.

I repeat: We're screwed. The end.

Thank you again to Jon Stewart. Here's what you need to see:

Jon Stewart - Lame as F@#K Congress

Yeah....Democrats may be spineless, lilly livered idiots, but the Republicans are self serving, mean, exploiters. But what does it matter. Their base is up Fox News' ass and will never watch this anyway. They question nothing, because the Red Ones are their leaders.... what they say is gospel....literally.

Jon Stewart- Obama Leaves Clinton in White Press Room

Obama....you are seriously testing my patience and I believe you have landed upon my very last nerve.

Thought this was funny....
