Report: Child named Adolf Hitler removed from home in New Jersey

God I hope this shit isn’t true, or that there is a bunch of information we’re not getting about these parents. Because what they’re making it sound like is that these kids were removed because of what their parents believe in. I do agree these parents are assholes who have doomed their kids to years and years of ass kickings, but they are within their rights. I don’t condone their neo-nazi beliefs, but we can’t allow the government to dictate what we can and can’t teach our kids. Yeah, they’re annoying, but you have to learn to with along side them, the same they have learned to live among the rest of us, and the way I am living among the rest of your stupid asses. So please tell me that in a day or 2 we’ll learn that these parents are beating these kids or that they’re running a meth lab out of their kitchen.

Things I have been meaning to do

I am so new to this whole college thing.

I have submitted just about every document required to register and I just need to take the assessment test so they can tell me they have never met anyone so unprepared for college and that I will need to take remedial EVERYTHING.

I still am not sure when I will be able to actually attend college and how I will still be the primary caretaker of my son. I would love to just dive in and go full time, but we can’t afford day care, so what that means I’ll probably just have to take a class at a time and go in the evenings. This will very likely take a full 2 years  and possibly more, as opposed to the 18-21 months it would take to the degree normally.

I’m not sure when I’m going to be starting either. We decided on the summer because of the time it would take to acquire financial aid. If I had the money right now I would go in the Spring, but alas, these things take some time. This could be the government we’re talking about.

They should set up an H&R Block for financial aid applications. Just someone you pay and give all of your information to and they set everything up. I can’t find our 2007 tax papers and those are necessary in proving that you are indeed as broke as you claim. I think I’ve decided I’m going to just take the assessment test and then consult with a counselor and see what they can do for me.

In other news, How I met Your Mother began airing on Lifetime and I thought I would give it a shot. I tried my hardest. I really did. Fighting the temptation to roll my big screen tv out into the street rivaled giving birth. People actually think this shit is funny? Is this what normal people come home and intentionally plan to sit down to watch? Is this really the type of society I want to be associated with? Vance frequently rants about stupid he thinks Seinfeld is, and I think after I make him sit down and watch an episode of this charade he may just burn our house down.

Oh yeah, and I have another ear infection. This time I was given an antibiotic called Azithromycin , which comes in a convenient 5-day pack. The first dose you take is 2 pills and then you take 1 pill once a day for the next 4 days. Sounds harmless enough, right? I took the first dose at like 9 and I was up until after 3 with diarrhea and stomach pains. I still feel kind of icky. Never again. I’m going to start treating my allergies so I stop getting these infections and never have to take these god awful pills again.

And now Deven has rearranged the furniture in my kitchen. I’m going to get him his own little table and chairs and recliner and see if he would prefer to move that furniture around. Plus it would be just really cute in our living room.

Back into the swing of things.

Universal Healthcare and the Waistline Police

This article took the words right out of my mouth. Or maybe it’s more that I didn’t completely understand or know how to articulate my beef with universal health care, I’m not sure. Everything that needs to be said about it is right here, and more people need to understand this.

Why are we so okay with giving up basic rights and principles out of fear? We give up liberty and freedom for security out of fear of terrorism, and now we’re willing to sacrifice them for free health care. I know the cost of health care is out of control, but I’d rather spend the rest of my life paying off my appendicitis than being told how to eat and take care of myself.

Anyone ever think of how Medicare and Medicaid effects the cost of modern healthcare? Yeah, it’s really nice that 20% of  the population doesn’t have to pay for their health care, at the cost of everyone else having to pay more than they should.

After wiping the tears from my eyes from the sheer GLORY of this article, my initial thought was “WHO WROTE THIS? WHY HAVEN’T I HEARD ABOUT YOU?” And after a google search I discovered that there is a man with the same name who runs the GREATEST WEBSITE I have ever laid eyes or mouse on. I don’t think it’s the same man, though. The Paul Hsieh who authored this article is a Libertarian Doctor in the Denver area, and the owner of this site appears to be a Canadian computer nerd and not so much a libertarian. Still amazingly wonderful.

We’re about to go out to eat and count our blessings as we are as of today still able to stuff our faces with greasy burgers and cheese fries. You should be thankful too.
