I stand corrected!? I DO live in the ghetto, gangs and all!

You've heard about the kid whose hands were cut off with a machete in a nice part of Alexandria? He was a member of the rival gang M13, hurt by members of Los Locos, a more dominant gang in the area. That graffiti I bitch about in my area - mostly M13 related.

Wanna see me get all classist about the subsidized housing in my area? Help the poor, sure...but not when they have kids in gangs.

I take it back, I can't help but point out that Rumsfeld is specifically avoiding addressing the treatment of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay! So, he's getting busted for the failure to follow the Geneva convention in Iraq...but doesn't make any bones about the Guantanamo prisoners. Now he's announced no more photos will be released - coz you see being judged by your actions just doesn't work for this administration.

EDIT - well it seems the Red Cross is busting us on that abuse directly.

Ever get to work and realize "I forgot to masturbate!"

Fucking entertain me! I fail to be entertained! I'm working sure, but I want something fighting for my attention! When you're down, it's a long way up. When you're up, it's a long way down.
