I have given up being concerned about unemployed people. I see them everywhere, and most all of them are card-carrying liberals who still can’t bring themselves to say anything about Obama that is faintly reminiscent of being critical. They are hanging on to the bitter end even though they are being screwed.

And so my policy is to just ignore them. I think it is hilarious how this evening Jon Stewart had Lou Dobbs on his show and never mentioned a thing about unemployed people. It’s all just politics and comedy as usual. As far as the media are concerned, they are either sympathizing with unemployed or joking about them. Either way, it’s all just about ratings and money, and so personally I don’t give a crap one way or the other at this point because the unemployed don’t seem to care about themselves or else they would be outraged at what is going on. It’s all about Adam Lambert and what he is doing on stage that the media seems to care about.

Thanksgiving marks the official beginning of the holiday season (=Judeo-Christian holiday season, that is), and everybody is already pissed off and angry even before they go visit their family. Frankly they have no one to blame but themselves. However, people think they are special because that is what they are told by the politicians, but let’s be honest they don’t give a crap about unemployed people. If they did care about them, then all this time they spend talking about spending money on bullshit would otherwise be spent helping people get an education and find a job. Of course, the State of California instead raises tuition on students, i.e., making it more difficult for them to get an education. Are you beginning to catch on now?

Here is my theory about this. I call it a survivalist’s guide to instant karma. Stay the fuck away from politicians and let them diddle the media and these poor miserable unemployed ‘victims’, which seem to be in plentiful supply these days. I prefer not to be a victim, and instead of being angry and upset and pissed off at the world for no apparent reason, I simply walk around with a big fat smile on my face just to piss everyone off who is angry and wants others to join along. The pity party that the media cultivated for Obama’s big sendoff into the Wall Street/Hollywood hall of fame seems to have morphed into an even bigger circle jerk that is akin to a giant self-loathing network that reminds me of the days leading up to the Jim Jones mass suicide.

And so, I say no thanks. I’m staying away from these people who drank the Kool-Aid and are angry and in some cases are literally dying out there this holiday season. I have no sympathy for many of them because they should have known better. Unfortunately, lessons like these come in very difficult ways, but that’s the way it is. These are hard, cold facts of life that people have to learn, and it isn’t up to anyone to teach them but out of their own experience.

This holiday season is going to be a rough one. You can tell already that it is shaping up to be a monumental clusterfuck of an emotional meltdown. My policy is to steer clear of this bullshit because it is instant karma that I need not participate in because I did not get sucked in by it in the first place. Call me an old, crass so and so, but so what. That’s the way life is. Big lessons in life require hardship and suffering. That’s the way it always has been and that’s the way it is definitely going to be at least through the end of 2009.

To all those who didn’t drink the Obama Kool Aid and are having a hard time, my recommendation is to put a smile on your face and know that at least you had nothing to do with that shit. A positive attitude goes a long way, and frankly you have nothing to be ashamed of. And so, when you go out into the public and people are trying to push their bad vibes onto you, then regardless of whether you have any money or not just smile at them and walk away. It’s called instant karma.
