So there is this article about Windows 7. It goes on at length about the naming process for the Windows line. Then there is the follow up article, that is the explanation for the naming scheme. Now all I can think of is the Animaniacs singing about Windows Versions.

FIIIIIRRRRSSSSST There was Dos,
That Bill Gates bought
really a steal,
or so we though

Then Apple’s “Lisa”
Showed us a mouse
and soon after
Windows one came out

But it was just and overlay
’cause DOS still ran everything anyway.
And so it was with Windows 3
and 3.11 respectively.

Then came Windows 95 and we all thought that to survive
We must upgrade immediately or we’ll be left behind the scene.
And so we all clambered aboard and purchased Windows number 4
Only to find that right behind would be Windows 98.

Nine-teee-eight!
Oh how we thought that that was great.
Windows Nine-teee-Eight!
We thought it was divine!

But there were bugs and Billy thought
Lets march a new release on out
and so “SE” became the norm
with patches flying like a storm.

The internet was the new big thing
and IE 4 had us on a string,
Outlook express kept our email
And everything seemed good and well.

But Bill would not settle for millions and millions
He really wanted trillion billions
so two os’s came the same year,
but with different names.

We watched the trick of ME with surprise
as it crashed and crumbled before our eyes
But 2000 seemed rather stable and stayed alive,
So they called it Windows 5!

Then came XP! “Just a point release” or so they say,
Win-dows EEECKS-PEEEE! Really saved Old Billy’s day.
We’ll make More MonEEYY! If we put two versions out,
One for work and one for Home!

And so this OS ran and ran
everything working according to plan
but the longevity of the silly thing
screwed up Bills releasing scheme
For Another OS to take it’s place
and boost profits into outer space.

So Bill killed XP, he pulled the plug
and rolled out Windows Vista.
No one knew that Windows 6
would go right down the Shitstah!

Now all eyes look forward to going back
to all that vista seemed to lack
And we can Only hope that Windows 7
Is not “MS Bob Centennial Edition!”

I got an email from my cousin with pictures of the candidates and pictures for trains.  It compared Obamma to a sleek super train of the future, Biden as an Amtrak desil, Mcain as an old busted steam locomotive, and palin as Thomas the tank engine fallen off the tracks.

Funny yeah, but I redid it my way with palin as the sleek sexy train, Mcain as the Amtrak workhorse, Bidden as the stuff shirt old steam engine (full of hot air) and Obamma as the toy.

My cousin’s reaction was she couldn’t believe I liked Palin.

So I had to remind her who she was talking too.

This is what I wrote.

Pol’tic’s just make me mad. No one is in touch with the real world in Washington. As far as I’m concerned politicians should start at minimum wage when they get elected, and get a 25 cent raise ever year like real people. Then we might see some action. You miss 3 votes, you missed three days of work, you’re canned, just like normal people.

Reps, Dems, None of them have an actual CLUE as to what the hell’s going on out here. They don’t choose between gas and milk, or milk and medicine. Not a damn one of them could tell me exactly how much a pack of roman noodles costs at the Kroger’s in Imlay City (17 cents) because what we as real people deal with is so far beneath them they would rather go to prison than become an average man on the street.

Vote for me.

I know what you’re going through.

I’m Matt London and I approve of this message, but I damn well don’t approve of the crap we’ve been given as candidates. They’re like lead filled toys from China. They look nice but under the cheap paint they’re poison, every single one of them.

Politics doesn’t SOLVE anything anymore. It just causes animosity and hate between people because “He’s a dem” or “She’s a rep”.

Two cities I would love to see burned to the ground are Detroit and Washington DC. Vaporize them and the occupants and start over with streets of glass as a reminder.

Now I’m all wound up. Where’s Rush Limbaugh. I need someone to really yell at.

And that pretty much sums up how about 80% of the united states population feels about this election, and the politicians are sitting in their thrones made of cash laughing at us because they know we’re to lazy to revolt and to scared to really change.
I guarantee that this election will change nothing. No matter who wins, we will all be worse off in 4 years than we are now, and the politicians, or should I call them Poli-titans, or maybe Poli-tyrants, will still live high on the hog while we slurp scum from the sewer.  Now I’ll never get any sleep. Damn You Washington DC!
