Nothing seems to be working today

The gremblin remains in my computer. Its managed to get rid of Task Manager, changed my comments form to a full screen instead of a popup, takes over a minute to load most things (I'm on dsl), and it may or may not be sending me to other sights when I click on something in google. Sigh.

I tried to do a repair using the Windows XP recovery disk, but things came up that had never come up before. I suppose I will reload Windows later today... if it works, but I'm tired of this all right now.

I just want to rant some more....

I'm so tired of all the greedy people. I'm speaking right now of all the companies (people) who accepted sub-prime mortgages that in turn jacked up all the prices of housing. Now you can get a square box of a house for $300,000. WTF?! I heard the ex CEO (resigned from Bear Sterns just before their condition became public knowledge) has just purchased a $27 million dollar house. "Let them eat cake."

I can understand why the feds had to keep them from going completely under, yet on the other hand its a reward for being greedy.

I use to enjoy watching The View since they added Whoopi and Sherry to the table, but I don't think I can continue to watch it. I get too frustrated listening to that Elizabeth person. But what a lessoned demonstrated though. The demonstration is how several people can look at the same thing and see something TOTALLY different. You see what you want to see. You believe what you want to believe.

And I'm no longer proud to be an American. (my apologies to Canadians and Mexicans for using the term 'American' when I really mean USA... but its a well used phrase.)

Sometimes I wished I was a drinker. I'd go get drunk.

Good post. I haven't watched the view since shortly after Whoopie came on (not because of her) but the other...
