Google is not awesome: a cautionary tale

and so begins chapter three of the continuing saga of my love / hate relationship with Google. did I tell you about the time I googled Google? I digress.

Do not let Google cut your hair. I did a google search for places to get my hair cut in my neighborhood. This is also the continuing saga of why can't I find a decent hair person. I had a hair place but the last person that cut my hair there was a little rough. So I moved on. Annnyyyway, so Google helped me settle on three prospects for hair cuts in my neighborhood. The first was closed. No biggie. The second only cut women's hair (you should have seen the look they gave me when I showed up). The third didn't speak english. But the third was open and cut men's hair and hey, all americans know a little spanish. I mean, come on, they taught it on Sesame Street for chrissake. Also french and spanish aren't too terribly different (but different enough). So as I sat and waited my turn, I willed myself to remember that 'por favor' meant please and 'merci beaucoup' was 'muchos gracias.' By the time I was actually getting my hair cut, I remembered enough to chit chat with the lady about my Venezuelan and Colombian friends and I think I even taught her a little french. She screwed the sideburns a little but honestly, who doesn't? I fixed 'em when I got home as usual. Nevertheless, don't let Google cut your hair- they're not open, don't deal with guys, and don't speak the language.

awesome.

finally, some good news on the political front.

good news? make that great news.

any day a member of the Bush cabinet resigns in disgrace is a good day. but Rumsfeld? you mean it, no foolin', really Rumsfeld is gone? seriously? ahhhhh. that feels good. i mean it took them way too long to get rid of him and what with Bush's arrogance I thought it might never happen. But here we are. He's gone!

Now, add to that the democrats control the House. Top that off with the next speaker of the house is a woman! The democrats control of the House is the ice cream, Rumsfeld kicked out of the white house is the hot fudge, and Nancy Pelosi is the cherry on top! I have a good feeling Webb is gonna pull it off and add some needed whipped cream to my sundae- democratic control of the senate.

I've heard some rumors that I don't like about not impeaching Bush but if that doesn't happen at least they're gonna shove fifty thousand special prosecutors up his ass. Exxxxxcellent.

but what a crazy day it's been. pouring rain soaking through shoes that were supposed to be waterproof and a shit storm at work threatened to drop my sundae on the ground. but fuck it, this sundae is so good i'm gonna lick it off the pavement!

ahem.

WOO-HOO!

fucking a.

awesome.

Hey North Carolina- Fuck You!

Hey North Carolina- Fuck you!

Ha!

One relatively painless trip to the DMV and I no longer have anything to do with you, North Carolina. I am finally free. You can kiss my ass. You are a bad dream. You are over, finito, fini.

Now if only we could say the same for Joe Lieberman...

HEY JOE: GO AWAY.

Go crawl under the white house and give GW a hand job. You suck.
