1) Why don’t you feel good sometimes?

I don’t feel good because it seems too easy…and too overlooked…like malnutrition.

2) If the reciprocal of 2/4 is 4/2..than why does the government feel inclined to dictate federal legislation concerning permanent tax cuts to the upper class while the Endowment for the Arts has its budget cut by two million dollars every year we stand idle?

I don’t like to talk numbers…give me semantics any day.

3) How is health care reform helping you to budget for your future?

I don’t have health care…I can’t afford health care…if I get sick…than my only hope is that the conservative compassion with take care of me…please and thank you Senate…

4) Does not the potential for terrorism in America find you in a compromising position?

Compromise? I’d like to see a Texan walk beans in Nebraska as small town budgets shrivel, grade schools close and inadequate funding leads to over saturation within the “special needs” classrooms of America’s high schools.

5) Is it easier to find a job now that the recession seems to be receding according to recent Republican polls?

How do you find an up swing with welfare checks spent on lottery tickets?

6) Does the Patriot Act give sufficient right as to allow the archive of records concerning personal identity, credit cards, and past travel itineraries to government agencies who evaluate them and suggest action based on their “threat” to national security?

It’s like George Orwell has cummed on my face.

7) Does justification concerning modes of action and application of ethics have anything to do with foreign policy or the reasoning to seek council amongst intelligent, non-English speaking peers?

Listening is the key proverb related to understanding….without it…there’s nothing left but personal agenda and August spent harboring mistakes in serene statuettes of limitation at Martha’s Vineyard or Texas Tea fountain yards.

8) Will America ever recover from the blatant neglect and dissociation of the blue collar class and ideals that forged the constitution out of split blood and aspiration?

Yes. We are here. This is us. We are coming…fast.


9) What are the prime attributes for the staging of the American dollar verses the Euro?

If you dig a hole too deep…China’s just an outsourced core away (according to the Boston Globe, New York Times and the Grand Island Islander)

10) Where does the FCC come into play with means and regulations concerning what our children are watching during Prime Time Television?

When I grew up the FCC came into effect at nine o’clock bed time… after Air Wolf…although I’ll fucking rue the day that THEY rue the day without the consent of consensual adults ruing the days of their children.

11) Is it easier to harbor anger or guilt?

Guilt…it goes with every color…even light grey and sky blue

12) Cheese or Pepperoni?

The Bouncing Souls

13) How do you mandate a specific clause into the objective of state law without actually passing a bill through the Massachusetts House of Representatives in the midst of a non election year?

It’s like I’ve always said, “A Straight may be a Straight…but a Full House with purpose will beat straight edge cards every single time.”

14) Is the war in Iraq the worst scenario of pre-emptive informational misrepresentation resulting in military action that has every occurred in the history of The United States of America?

Unless you count that one time we talked about doing that one thing…

15) Do you believe in an after life?

I believe in my friends…and in their after lives…and in God

16) Do steroids in professional baseball turn the sport from the national past time into the national “juice” time”

Never, ever, use the work juice in a sentence when talking to me…unless the word “orange” is a huge part of it…or….”juice” is your dying request.

17) Religious fanaticism? Real?

Nero was real…Tiberius was real…Caesar was real….after that…my coin purse is empty

18) Will the prices of barrels of crude oil directly affect the refined gasoline prices I pay within the current market of mid-eastern driven import as opposed to the Alaskan nature reserves the President has signed over to private interests?

The pipe line. A modern marvel? Alaskan Salmon. 3 billion years worth of evolution. Does the necessity for automobiles dictate evasive perverse aggression towards a virgin ecosystem? Like I said…I’m into semantics…and oil….but COME ON!

19) Can 9/11 ever be downplayed as to how it affected life for Americans and their
children…or their children’s children?

I morn for tragedy…I watched it happen along with…and beside my country men…but the only chance to move forward lies within the relinquishing (not the forgetting) of the past…and the ability to lead it solidly into the future…without harboring prejudices towards religions, groups, congregations…or those who do not feel the same. Impact is a careful word…very easy to receive…excruciatingly hard to give.

20) Does the Democratic party stand any chance against the multi-million dollar GOP machine?

Three statements for perseverance: Terminator 1. Terminator 2. Terminator 3.


21) There are acts in Congress at present to eliminate programs for the legally blind and legislative bills in committee to slash geriatric care in a nation wide sweep; as a plan to cover the amount of cost each taxpayer is contributing to these programs.

I’m sorry…I don’t believe in Euthanasia.

22) If you could go on vacation to any place in the world, where would that be?

James Dunn’s cerebral cortex.


23) If you could talk to any person in your past…who would it be?

I still love my older brother…and for another chance with Jimmy Z

24) Favorite Meal

I’m a sucka for a Gyro…and Ramen Noodles.

25) Current book I’m reading…

“And I quote…“Print is dead.” Harold Ramis, Ghostbusters””
26) Do labor unions contradict the principal foundations of free enterprise, market trade or the ability for corporations to mass produce goods cheaply and easily?

Have you ever been to Christmas day with an eleven year old, an eight year old, a six year old and a four year old who haven’t seen the dentist in a year due to the belief in Santa Claus?

30) Where do the concrete implications of capital punishment lie in the wake of Enron oil executives waving their rights to a federal court of corporately appointed judges within their own ranks of hierarchy in perceived notion of receiving a “just and speedy” trial?

Kill one…you will be killed. Murder a family and their life investments leading to the security of their children…”I’m sorry….I’m so, so sorry. Better luck next time…I sorry I can’t do more….it wasn’t your fault…it wasn’t our fault…sometimes things just happen…what can I say?”

31) A Florida recount vote?

I used to count my gummy bears in first grade…they never won fare and square.

32) 750,000 jobs lost in the state of Massachusetts in 2003, 3 million total

I’m sure you forgot about Idaho.

33) The Democrats are now accused of stealing top secret GOP files containing party outlines and mandates concerning evasive maneuvers encompassing recent allegations to their party.

Good way to win the trust of doubting voters GOP…classy move.

34) McDonald’s is under-sizing value meals….and Americans spent 1.3 Trillion Dollars on credit cards this past year, a 10.5% increase from 2002, where do you see tax cuts and spending money ending up in the pockets of Joe Taxpayer?

I was born into debt…I live in debt….I’m sure I’ll probably die in debt…the only legacy I have is knowing I owe $30,000 as my part to the national debt.

35) Is the glass half full or half empty?

It’s in he dishwasher…soaking

36) Where do you want to be five years from now?

Sure.

37) Where the fuck is Adam Pomajzl?
