Is anyone at all shocked by this headline from the NY Times: ‘For the First Time, New York Links a Death to 9/11 Dust’? And a needed first sentence quote:

New York City’s chief medical examiner, Dr. Charles S. Hirsch, has for the first time directly linked a death to exposure to dust from the destruction of the World Trade Center.

GASP: A Bush official lied and failed to protect the public (I remind you this was EPA head Christine Todd Whitman)!!! Banish the thought.

I have said it before, I say it now, we get everything we deserve for voting these assholes into office. When the blowback from Iraq reaches our shores, I for one will point to this post and say, “I Fucking Told You So!”

You war mongering Republicans (and Hillary Clinton!) who decried the left for the last 6+ years have simply proven us to be right in everything we have said. You are a bunch of worthless unethical liars who have squandered our national reputation, our national pride and most importantly actual living citizens of our nation.

When mankind is Judged for its sins, I really fucking hope I get to see all those worthless right wing moronic Christians who helped put these kind of people in office burn in a living and all consuming fire.

Bring it on Al Gore.

Some notes…

1. death of JFK JR. - who cares
2. death of John Lennon - who cares
3. death of Princess Di - who cares
4. eve of Iraq invasion, 1 & 2 - scary, we are a f’ed up war mongering nation
5. shots of 9/11 - do not need to see them, ever, please stop showing them
6. Vietnam - see #4
7. Clinton Mon-mon quotes - interesting since there were NONE of either Bush
8. see #8 - none of either Bush - Oh Fox you are so transparent and predictable

worst of all - this preempted my nightly “what is gonna kill me today” segment. now I have nothing to obsess about all day tomorrow…

Ellie My Siberian Husky

The name of this blog comes directly from my attempts at learning Hebrew. Nearly the first thing I learned to say was “The dog jumps.” It became a running joke amongst friends. But as you can see, I have a dog, who can jump, so it is kind of even sorta more funny…ANYWAY…here are some facts about me:

• Grew up in Maine
• Moved to NYC to go to Columbia Grad School - which I hated - you can read about what the lab does.
• Left school and started working for internet companies - some small startups, Toys R Us.com before they sold out to Amazon.com, then for the airlines, Chuck Schwab, and now I work for a big publisher in “The City”.
• I have a lot of experience with computers, but please do not ask me to help you with Windows because my answer will be “Buy a Mac.”
• Into my saltwater tank, riding my Ducati, playing with Ellie & Blue (my sister’s smelly black lab)
• Enjoy traveling
• I have lots of random thoughts, like people should walk on their own side of the side walk, current fashion trends are abysmal, Louis Vuitton used to be classy now it is trashy, people who stand on the bus should be let off first because they have been standing the whole time, revolving doors are irritating, RFID is not the end of the all security forever, credit card companies are seriously predatory and the government should do something about it, Bush is an idiot, Gore has emerged as an elder statesman, marriage is a sham to allow women to take everything from men, post-feminism may just have it right, being Jewish is a wonder not a chore, and so many many many more.
• Family: Pretty much, Adam and my Father, Kent along with my Aunt’s and their families. I have a few other relatives that I am not in touch with, mostly due to internecine battles on both sides. Who knows why my Mother’s brother and sister have not been heard from in 25 years? It all gets so boring after a while.
