This is crazy!

The whole country is fiddling while their home burns… much less Rome.

I’m writing from Whataburger using their free wifi.  why?  Because for the SECOND time in four days a main phone cable was stolen.  Not just cut but stolen.  A section of line was cut right next to one of the most major highway /loop intersections in the city at 5 AM.  How do I know when?  I was using it at the time.

The first theft was Sunday AM.  No phone and no cell modem since it was a main line to the closest cell tower, too.  Both times they stole a complete section between two poles.  The phone guy putting the new one up said it’d get them a good $500.  Save pennies, they may be worth something some day, as copper!

Just finished an article on Alternet about how the Pres is keeping soldiers in uniform indefinately.  DON’T SIGN UP, YOU’LL BE STUCK FOR LIFE!

Housing market horrible.  Jobs horrible.  Prices going up.

Is everybody in this entire country asleep?

Sad.
