thought of the day 2009 09 03 - Statehood Day
As I write this, tomorrow is Statehood Day (21 Aug, 2009). Marks 50 years since Hawai'i became the 50'th United State. Still a few years out is Iraq as the 51'st. So we have the newest star on the flag. What right Utah, suck it bitch!
But I have to admit, I haven't seen or heard much about the semi-centennial in the news on the radio or on TV. Which is kind of surprising. I'd expect to hear more Hawaiians thanking whitey for you know, overthrowing their government, bombing an entire island just for target practice, the fucking Massie trial, taking our land, outlawing our language, just, you know, stuff. Then again, 50 years since we became a state and now we have Internet porn so I guess that sort of makes up for it.
