My take on Rosie and Donald.....
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Fri Dec-22-06 12:20 AM by The Straight Story
Back in the 1980's I was a security guard at Alum Crest Nursing home here in Columbus, Ohio.

I knew male and female nurses who changed bed pans, wiped people's butts who could not do it themselves, sat by the bedside of folks who had no idea where they were...and, well, you get the picture.

And so you two sit there bitching about your billions, or slamming someone on your TV show, and all of the sudden America is supposed to notice you and plaster you all over TV. Enriching you both even more.

And for what???

So you have Billions of dollars Donald. Rosie has her TV show.

And that nurse sitting alone with a near comatose patient watching your show as she cares for some poor soul has what??

What a fucked up society we have become when our news is dominated by such shit.

No wonder people get depressed. They aspire to greatness - never realizing greatness is the little things we do for each other, not how much ass we show or how asinine we show ourselves to be.

We celebrate the rich who have done for themselves, and ignore the little people who have done for others. We aspire to enrich our own selves, while ignoring those that have enriched the lives of others.

Screw you Rosie and Donald. Tonight my thoughts will be with the real Americans in our country as I lay down to sleep. The people who aren't on TV bitching about each other - the people who are working as I am typing this in our retirement homes, hospitals, etc.

Quit your fucking whining and get off my TV.
