Dragonfruit

This is dragonfruit, it's the most delicious thing I've ever tasted.  I first ate one in Cambodia and then ate as many as possible on that trip.  But, thing is, they're an obscure fruit that doesn't grow so well in North America, and they go bad quickly so it's really hard to find them around these parts.  My wife's coworker has a black market supply or something and apparently she gets these things all the time.  Problem is, her coworker's last day was last Friday.  Now I don't know when I'll ever eat another dragonfruit.  Rabble-B

Scavenger hunt, not so much

So yesterday, at San Francisco General Hospital a maintenance worker found a dead body in an outside stairwell.  Turns out the body was Lynne Spalding, an SFGH patient that had been missing for 17 days.  No one knows how or when she ended up there.  Did she walk out on her own?  Was she murdered?  Was she lucid?  Was she trying to get back into the hospital?  How long had she been there alive or dead?  How often does security check the premises of the hospital, never?  And what the fuck man?  Total insanity!

Oh, did I mention my wife works at SFGH the body was found not far from her office?  Total insanity!

BARTworld! BARTword!

So the other day on Bart, I saw a mom hanging her toddler aged daughter, pants down, off the side of the platform, over the tracks and say, "Go to the bathroom, go to the bathroom."  Now, I know this is Bart and anything can happen but this was fucking bizarre.  So your child who is probably in potty training, has to pee and instead of finding a real bathroom you hang her off the side of a train station platform and tell her to let fly?  You're insane and your kid is now scarred.  And better yet, this is extremely dangerous!  Those are train tracks down there and it's 5:30pm, the busiest time of day and a train is coming in exactly one minute.  Everybody around just stared, open mouthed.  Luckily, it only lasted a few seconds or I hope to God someone would've said something.  Or called CPS.  BARTworld...  Rabble-B

"How do you look at them and ... deny them access?" said Neugebauer. He, with most House Republicans, had voted early Sunday morning to pass a funding measure that would delay the Affordable Care Act, a vote that set up a showdown with the Senate and President Barack Obama. With the parties unable to agree on how to fund the federal government, non-essential government functions shut down Tuesday.
"It's difficult," responded the Park Service employee.
"Well, it should be difficult," replied the congressman, who was carrying a small American flag in his breast pocket.
"It is difficult," responded the Park Service employee. "I'm sorry, sir."
"The Park Service should be ashamed of themselves," the congressman said.
"I'm not ashamed," replied the ranger.


The above is part of the exchange from the video clip between Rep. Randy Neugebauer's (R-Tex.) and a federal park ranger at the WWII memorial in DC.  The, "them" he refers to are WWII veterans who had traveled to see the memorial.  Some of those veterans traveled there via the Honor Flight program that funds WWII vets to the memorial and part of the park rangers job is to make sure that the vets do have access to the memorial during the shutdown when the general public does not.

I also watched several of the many clips you can find of Michelle Bachman on Youtube from the last couple days just spewing bullshit out her ass.  My favorite is her kissing a WWII vet at the memorial while spouting a bunch of partisan bullshit in front of this guy.

First of all, this man is 90 years old and fought the Nazi's and imperialist Japan, he's not remotely impressed by Michelle Bachman.  Second, if I was a WWII vet and she even tried to stand near to me I'd tell her to, "Back the fuck off and don't ever touch me.  I'm a living national treasure and you just want to use me for a sound bite to make yourself look good to the press.  I'm not buying it lady.  Don't ever come near me again!" 

And that's just it.  Why would any member of congress, from either side of the aisle, go to the WWII memorial with a bunch of vets?  To look good, get a sound bite and score some votes so they can keep on getting paid to do nothing.  The unmistakable irony (to everyone but congress and FOX News apparently) is that Neugebauer, Bachman and all those other assholes are personally responsible for the closure of the WWII monument.  It's thoroughly nauseating and reprehensible.  And it's not even worth arguing because they'll never get it.  America doesn't want to hear and see congress making themselves look good on tape or video, they want them to get back in the capitol building and do the fucking job they were elected for.  Rabble-B

Also, MC Hammer played in Golden Gate Park to day at 10am.  I wasn't there unfortunately, but I'm just saying.

Lights Out

Congress is the biggest bunch of lying, cheating, thieves on the planet.  They are ruining our country and we are to blame.  We continually elect self aggrandizing douche bags to run our country.  The best part about this government shutdown, other that the billions of dollars it will cost our struggling economy, is that congress gets paid anyway.  Yep, many thousands of federal employees with children to feed and bills to pay, making $35K a year are out work, but congress gets their paychecks.  In other countries this kind of action causes riots or revolutions but we just sit idly by. 

Another note:  Today Google's homepage celebrated the 123rd anniversary of Yosemite National Park.  Who missed that one guys?  Yosemite is fucking closed today because of the shutdown. 

What a shame, one of the pinnacles of our country, the entire national park system is closed because the dicks in DC.  Do you realize you're ruining peoples' trips of their lifetimes?  You're literally crushing your citizens dreams.  Thanks for nothing.  Rabble-B
