The Systematic Draining of America's Economy, Culture, and Pride.

Arizona’s recent immigration law has me in a quandary.
First off, I don’t see how anyone can be FOR illegal immigration; I don’t see how you can protect your country if illegal immigration is out of control.
The affects of illegal immigration eventually catch up with you (This is still my favorite example). However…
I really don’t think the Arizona Law is the way to go.
It is one thing to shut down or “protect” the boarders; it is another thing to require police to verify citizenship (and immigration paperwork) each time the encounter an individual.
No matter how you cut it, you can’t help but bite into the rights of [actual] U.S. Citizens. Sure, some people say that is just the “price of cracking down.”
But I also highly suspect the people that don’t have a problem with the law either…
a) don’t live in AZ or
b) are pretty much safe in not being mistaken for any racial profiling (can you say fairly light skinned?).
Think about it for a minute. You will be required to show identification (proof of citizenship). Will this stop at illegal immigration?
Sure, we need to address illegal immigration, but not at such a great expense to our innate freedoms.

Lately, in addition to questions regarding my overall sanity, there has been some question as to why The Slow Bleed does not have many “warm fuzzy posts.” After carefully reminding myself “hey, this is MY blog” I moved on…
First off, let’s look at the name: The Slow Bleed (yea, that sounds like it will be a site full of Unicorns and Fluffy Bunnies.)
Seriously, I didn’t name it The Hello Kitty Blog or The Make Your Life Feel Better Blog (heck, those two weren’t even in the running).
Next, I am going with the “It’s my Party and I will Cry if I Want to” defense or, in this case, continue to write whatever, usually sarcastic thoughts, I want.
For the sake of clarity, here is a list of things you will probably never read about on this blog…
1. Kittens playing with yarn.
Eyes Going? Click on the image to read.
2. Unicorns and Fluffy Bunnies (but I think I already covered that).
3. Pretty much anything to do with Twitter (ok except for may this, it does sounds interesting… A Night of 140 Tweets: A Celebrity Tweetathon for Haiti)
4. Farmville and Mafia Wars
5. Any movie with a Vampire (with the exception of Nosferatu)
6. Any Hollywood Gossip that has to do with adopting kids.
With that said, I should showcase a few positive things from time to time so that my readers don’t think I am a stay-out-of-the-sun-and-eat-bunnies type of person (aahhh hell, I just broke #2 and #4).
Seeing that this is Friday, this still makes me smile…

I am confused (no, that is not my superpower). When I was a kid I was led to believe that… A) You can be whatever want when you grow up and…B) There were a lot of super heroes out there.
There are two types of super heroes…
Those that are born with superheroness (is that even word?) and those people that get superpowers later in life (usually due to some family tragedy or falling into a vat of nuclear waste).
Not opting for falling into a vat of nuclear waste (not sure where I would find one anyway), I think I am of the group that is suppose to “grow” into some sort of awe inspiring power. Helllooooo?! Is this thing on? I even have the spandex suit ready to go (don’t ask).
Well, nothing yet and I am wondering how long I am suppose to wait?
I am not complaining, but I’m not getting any younger. I need to be young enough to stay up late fighting crime, possess dashing looks to appear in photo shoots with the mayor, and the wit to come up with snappy lines for catching bad guys.
I suppose I could be some sort of hip “old” superhero – maybe protecting the front door at Wal-Mart while simultaneously working as a greeter. (I have seen those people – pretty sure that no one would ever suspect them of being superheroes).
Mmmmm, maybe I was meant to be a villain…
IF you had a superpower…what would it be?

For the first time “texting” has surpassed actual conversation among teens.
The American Life Project has determined that more than 30% of teens send more than 100 texts per day. Often they are getting annoyed by not getting an immediate response from their friends.
Two-thirds of teenagers are now more likely to text than make a phone call. Girls lead the way over boys.
Teenage Girls – 80 messages per day.
Teenage Boys – 30 messages per day.
On the plus (?) side is that teens still prefer phone calls when contacting their parents.

Yea, I don’t know what the hell they are saying either. Course, you might not typically understand a teen even if they were “talking” directly to you anyway.
With any luck we soon won’t have to talk to anyone (in person) at all…ever.
I still think Aliens will come to Earth 500 years from now; discover FaceBook and Text Messaging files and say, “OMG, They ALL thought they were important!”
I suppose that saving the environment is all well and good as long as one does not sacrifice some comfort along the way [for those new to theslowbleed, please insert thinly veiled sarcasm here].
Take the 2010 Toyota Prius for example. In addition to an impressive MPG stat, you can order one with leather trimmed seats and steering wheel. Screw the cows – they are ugly anyway.
But Prius is not alone. Other top “good for the environment” cars are packed full of really cool creature comforts like heated seats, “exotic” wood dashes, rare cloth materials, etc etc.
It stands to reason that we could just create an obvious “screw the environment” car while we are at it.
Something that lets everyone know you’re ready to rumble with some left-wing Vegan during the next off-shore-shoot-them-from-the-helicoptier-Sarah-Palin-town-hall-meeting (wonder how many people I can piss off in one sentence?) Anyway…
I decided to create this monster of a vehicle with the following options….
Did I miss anything?
