bush wants to loot our loot!

i'll let moveon.org do the talking because they do know the real deal on this issue. this is important! and in any case, if it's going to take $100 million in pr and advertising for bush to convince americans that privatization is good for social security, then you know something's wrong. that's if you didn't already know that everything bush is wrong in the first place. jesus christ.

so it's back to cold-as-usual paris today, a.k.a. back to wearing my long johns.

there are these two french dudes visiting the office today from california (they work at the parent company that owns pony, kenneth cole, etc.). when the boss introduced them to mackenzie and me, he said, "this is mackenzie; he moved here from los angeles with his girlfriend jane who he had to marry so she could stay in the country." and then the two frenchies were like, "you were in l.a. and you moved to paris?" to which the boss interrupted, "yeah, they fucked up." huh. okay, i was about to call them assholes. but eh, they're just some square motherfuckers who nut over numbers and dollar signs.

ironically, mack and i have been scheming on taking off from the great city of lights for some time now.

"Of course he is," said Christopher Robin.
"Everybody is really," said Pooh. "That's what I think," said Pooh.
"But I don't suppose I'm right," he said.
"Of course you are," said Christopher Robin
