Regarding Afghanistan,

I'm sorry, but I can't care about what happened. We fucked up going in 20 years ago. What? Did we not pay attention to Russia's fucked up experience? Being the USA, our arrogant asses actually thought we would succeed there. We were stupid.

I have no problem with us finally understanding the shit wasn't working and just leaving. Sorry, citizens of Afghanistan. We fucked up and your military blows apparently. We can't spend trillions of our dollars trying to help you (or whatever the fuck we were doing there), and you guys not help yourselves.

In my opinion, we've got much more pressing issues at home dealing with our own taliban.

Full disclosure: I hate the military industrial complex and I feel we spend an obscene amount of money on "defense".

I use Sling

as my main source of TV viewing. I have it set to DVR all episodes of Seinfeld since Hulu f'd me over and will only let you watch Seinfeld if you pay $60 a month.

Anyway, the channel it records from is FOX 6 out of Milwaukee (I think) so I get to see all these commercials for Menard's, Gruber Law Firm and Todd and Tod! I love hearing the accents! If it's not Wisconsin, it's some accent similar to it. Being in Houston, TX i don't hear it that often.

Well, I'm heading back to finish my episode of Seinfeld. Looking forward to the commercials!

old. Boring. Too complacent to realize my full potential.
