It's a hard knock life

I am worried about our country.

I was in K-Mart the other day getting batteries and my ears caught something that caused my heart to sink a little. Now I realize that K-Mart isn't exactly the center of intellectual discourse in this country, but I do expect a little bit more out of my fellow citizens.

One old K-Mart employee says to a young employee:
"Working hard?"
"It's a hard knock life," the young employee responds.
"I've seen that movie."
The young employee just stared.
"You know Little Orphan Annie?"
"No, no. It's a song by Jayzee."

I walked away. I didn't want to know how the conversation finished itself.

Everything about America seems a little stupider than it did six years ago, from our youth, all the way up to our president.

Now I don't know if Bush is the cause or the result of this, but whenever he opens his mouth, he is doing nothing to help the perception of America to the world.

One of his more recent comment's:

"One has a stronger hand when there's more people playing your same cards."

What in the hell was that supposed to mean?

I cannot wait until the new democratic congress impeaches this monkey.
