When the Levee Breaks
Disaster struck at work this weekend.
Sometime on Friday, a water pipe broke at the school where I work, flooding most of the top floor of the building and causing water to soak through the ceiling and inundate large portions of the lower floors as well. Unfortunately, the library was one of the hardest hit rooms. The books were unharmed, but many of the computers spent three days sitting in several inches of water. I don’t know if the afflicted computers still function, as I had no desire to risk electrocution by turning them on. If they are toast, then this is a catastrophe, since the school exists entirely on donations and has no technology budget. (The existing library computers came courtesy of a Gates Foundation grant back in 2000.) Merry frickin’ Christmas.
In unrelated, but similarly pleasant news: Not only has our “President” admitted to using the National Security Agency to spy on American citizens without warrants, in flagrant violation of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, but he actually has the cajones to claim that the spying was legal and justified, that it will continue, and that the biggest sin is actually that of the press for revealing the spying in the first place.
I am so tired of this vicious little dipshit and his hand-picked gang of liars and thugs and killers. Can we start calling him a dictator yet? More to the point, can we finally get started on impeaching his stupid ass? I want my country back…
