Why Don't You Mother .$@%$! War Protrester's Get A Job!
You think I would have a happy blog on a Saturday. Glad I got your attention. I thnk it's known that I am a Moderate and Registered Republican, and I was for the war, but you may not know that I think we should start turning things over to the Iraqi's. But this blog is not about the war, it's about these pesky elite liberals from out of town that makes life for us resident rollers of the Greater Washington/Baltimore Area...inconvenient. Don't worry, I will hit it from all angles.
First and foremost, I had to report to work as early as possible, which means 7:30a.m. because the Green Line starts running at 7:00a.m. I would drive, but I am between cars at the moment, and even if I had one, there is no freaking way I am paying 12 bucks for parking when I don't have to. I get to the gate, and I learned that I had to reload my Smart Trip card. Fine, no big deal. Then I turned around to find the end of the line to get to the fare card machine within two steps. OK, maybe three but whatever.
Metro, you are on notice. I don't want to hear jack crap about fare increase. Everyone knew that the protesters were coming to town. Why there were no trains running before 7:00a.m. I do not get. Neither will I understand why there was only one person explaining how to buy a farecard. You know DC is different from the rest of the country, but I digress.
So I am standing there, the train I needed to catch left the station and this woman in front of me gives the machine $10.00. Now keep in mind most of these war protesters are elite liberal who proabably at the least is holding a Bachelors degree. So you would think they would read the directions first. So dumbass puts the $10.00 in when she only wanted to put five and, shocker, she pushes the 'Done' button, without thinking about it.
The manager comes over and she starts ranting and raving about how much Metro is a rip off. I wanted to ask her "can you at least step aside so I can get ripped off to, some people have to get to work."
You people (protesters) are smart enough to figure out where to hold a protest in DC. You are smart enough to get directions to the Metro station online. BUT YOU CAN'T LEARN THE DAMN METRORAIL SYSTEM AND HOW TO WORK A FARECARD MACHINE IN PERSON OR GET THE INFO ONLINE! Unbe-freaking-lievable.
Oh yes, back to Metro. In case you haven't notice, the region is on the rise. The least you can do is send more frequent trains on the weekend.
Because three is just not enough....
Here's a question for everyone....Do we really need four hours of the Today Show? NBC says that it is due to the success of the show and a tribute to all of the hard work of Matt Laurel, Meredith Viera, Al Roker and Ann Curry. And by the way, weren't we all thinking "Please do not hire Ann Curry" when Katie Couric left for CBS.
Do we really need a four hour national morning show? It's bad enough that it's three hours long and they started the trend of having yahoo's in the background, and for the record I do not care which town you come from. When you see the window on the world, do as Dionne and "Walk On By."
The Today Show encompasses all that is evil about morning television. Because they are the top dog, ABC and CBS are taking their shows and doing a cheap imitation of NBC. I would crack FOX, but it's FOX. FOX 5 Morning News, which use to be a show that was an alternative, slipped into the same mold as everyone else. Then there FOX News Channel, but I can't stand that bimbo Steve Doocy.
Thank God for NewsChannel 8. They have what I need and I don't have to sit through Holly Morris, I mean, the street reporter doing something that ultimately makes them stupid.
Saw This Coming Folks
WASHINGTON -- OK, it's pretty darn warm for January. As a matter of fact
it's 70 degrees in Capital City. Meanwhile, Nettie, you poor thing and
the XX feet of snow on the ground out in Denver (by the way, watch Mike
Landess on KMGH, he is such an old school type anchor.) BTW, you know where this is going. How long did you think it would take
me before I saw someone in summer gear. Actually around 9:00a.m. when I
was coming out of the Red Line as Farragut North this morning coming into
work when I saw a group of dudes wearing shorts. Then I went to Subway before 12noon to get lunch and saw someone wearing
flip-flops. OK, I cannot stress this enough, it is January. With as many
germs going around , NO ONE should be wearing sandals. I don't care if it
it 70 degrees outside. That is probably the biggest pet peeve that I have, people dressing out of
season...in public.
