Silly girls and stupid boys.

Walking down the street holding my partners hand.
I smile.
A small-penis-truck roars by.
Its riders yell "dyke".
Like its a bad thing.
We smile even broader.
Joking about how we were supposed to be insulted.
Insulted to be dykes? Or insulted to be women?
At the bike shop we talk bikes with a worker.
Silly girls. Like we know anything about bikes.
(We really do, but he implies we don't.)
I ask questions and look things over.
All the while I can see him not looking at my words.
He's intently listening to my breasts.
If he really knew the story behind those breasts he'd listen to me then.
Or maybe not.
Perhaps he's call me a freak and run me out of his shop.
Or he'd think me an odd prize and chase me into his bed.
And then promptly out of it again afterwards.
After he had his "weirdest hookup" story for his buds.
But doesn't it make him kinda gay if its his ass something gets stuck up?
Layers of contradictions found within all the hatred and ignorance.
Stupid boys.

Nummer

Does anybody else think it is comical that one of America's greatest symbol of our military and (some) of our obnoxious wealth is now owned and produced by China? I wonder how long before our red-blooded Republican "patriots" figure out how unpatriotic it is to buy a Hummer now.

Buying out the People

So, I thought that the whole idea behind capitalism was supply and demand. People want item A. Company makes item A. People buy item A. Company makes money. When people want item B company stops making item A and makes item B (or company closes because another company is making item B already and there isn't enough demand for 2 companies). Makes sense, right?
So what's with the string of recent government buyouts? First it was the Stock Exchange. Then it was some banks. Most recently it was several automakers. What happened to the capitalist idea that if company can't make what is in demand it closes? Why is the government using taxpayers (the consumers) money in order to pay to keep open that the consumer's have said they aren't interested in buying?
Hey Capitol Hill, if it can't survive in the market on its own, then let it die! (Otherwise there will never be any room for the market to change and evolve.)
