Somebody Put Something in My Drink

I’ve often wondered if that’s a realization or a request.

I’ve had tummy troubles for the last couple of days.  Not sure why.  I guess I should be more specific, since telling my mother I was having stomach troubles and that I had only eaten crackers yesterday caused her to buy me ginger ale, usually believed to be good for somebody who’s vomiting.  I happily drank the ginger ale, since it’s always been a favorite of mine, but I had to explain to her when I saw it that I wasn’t having problems with food coming back up, just with the consistancy of it on the way out.  I’m trying not to be gross about it for whatever reason, but I think maybe I’ve given enough info.

As a result, I have no appetite, mostly because nothing is appetizing.  They had steak last night, but the thought of it was repulsive.  All I ate yesterday was crackers, a bowl of the most flavorless (read– salt-less) chicken broth I’ve ever encountered, and a little salad.  I question the salad, since lettuce only consists of fiber and water. 

Pepto never helps me.  I take Pepto, instead of the intended result all I ever get is black what should be brown for like two days. 

So enough about my innards.  Recently I was wondering what’s up with "conservatives" and "liberals."  Why are conservatives pro-gun, pro-oil, and pro-deforestation, while liberals want gun control, alternative fuels, and wildlife preservation?  I think the terms should be switched.  No, I know where they come from.  Conservatives are against abortion, and liberals generally are not.  That’s the only thing that makes sense.  Otherwise, what exactly are the conservatives conserving?  Unfortunately, about a day after I had that thought, I saw a Bill Maher special where he made very similar comments.  I hate when that happens.
