Weekend Recap
I've come in to possession of the Scrubs reruns I was looking for, as well as the Coupling reruns I was also looking for. I spent much of the weekend catching up on Scrubs (season 2 of 4) and Coupling (seasons 1 & 2). I'm here to tell you: That's a lot of TV! Oy!
But one neat thing is that I found out a lot more about the characters on Scrubs, and that was pretty cool. They're not shallow archetypes of characters, they're deeper than that. You don't get that in sitcoms much, do you? I especially like the character of the tormenting senior doctor, Perry Cox, "Coxy" to those residents trying to irritate him, and "Percival" to his immasculating wife/ex-wife. He gets some really fun, belittling rants, but his humanity really shows through once every couple or three episodes and you find that he's not, as he called humanity recently, "Bastard coated bastard with a creamy bastard filling". I want more Coxy. Scrubs rocks.
Coupling got a little tiring. But I've still got more to go, and I'm committed to this, so I will press forward! I saw their 1st episode and it was funny to see how closely the American pilot mimicked the English pilot and yet, the American pilot flopped so BADLY!

Ususally I don't go around looking at random blogs, but I was bored and started looking at the blogger home page. I have a friend named Solomon and so your title caught my eye. Then I noticed you were talking about the election and Oregon. You have some interesting things to say about Bush (don't worry, I agree :) and Oregon is near and dear to my heart (I spent 5 years in the Salem area) What makes you anti-Bush? I'm always interested in other people's reasons.
Hi, Steph: Thx for visiting. It's so odd to get a random visitor!
I'm opposed to Bush's election because I can't come up with a single consistent reason to vote for him. He opposes my positions on everything that's important to me: Education, poverty/taxation, corporate welfare, and essentially treating other people with respect, whether they're domestic or foreign.
People assume he's good for the military, for instance. But I don't know why they think that. He tried to cut the pay for soldiers in an active combat theater. "Nice job, boys. But I'm having trouble giving these tax cuts to the filthy rich, back home, so you'll have to make do on less. Thanks for your sacrifice!"
Those tax cuts are another favorite. We have a finite number of dollars to split among our different priorities. Bush spent TRILLIONS on tax cuts for people who don't need it, while cutting soldiers' salaries, cutting the already-slim budget to the Transportation Security Administration, and not committing enough to address the sources of terrorism, in the first place. Bush's priorities are the filthy rich and his corporate donors.
If you look at what Bush is spending money on as the ultimate guage of where his priorities lie, they're not with the middle class or small business or the poor or soldiers getting shot at or, not surprisingly, the rest of the world.
So, that's the 10,000 ft. view of why I can't vote for Bush: He doesn't represent where I want our country going.
Thx again for stopping by!
