My plan on waking up when the alarm chimed and being at work by 9:30 fell along the wayside this morning. I woke up at 9:10 of course, but managed to make it to work by 10:10 and even got in a shower. Have already been astounded by the sheer absurdity of the world today. I thought I would talk about Massachusetts and Gay marriage or Bush’s most recent remarks on the war in Iraq. But alas, I can’t stomach doing either right now. Peter Gomes had a lovely and succint editorial in yesterday’s Globe about gay marriage. As an disenfranchised African-American, he understands the plight of homosexuals and their right (and I do believe that they have the right) to marry. As for Bush, all I have to say is, Fuck you. Fuck your administration and fuck your constantly changing stories about Iraq. That’s not exactly a winning argument I realize. But that’s how I feel.
