I know its been a long time since I've posted, but i need to reflect on today's events.
First off, why is it that Kerry gave up without a fight? Just like Liebermann, he conceded not the race, but the country's future to Mr. Bush. I just cant understand how easily he gave up after making it seem like an important race, which it was.
And why did America give the republicans more power in the House and Senate? I am supposed to believe that after all the lying, after all the terrible acts, after all mess ups, the American people decided to extend their power? Are we mad? Have Americans lost their mind? I think so. Its that, or clearly our education system is in the sewer----people are so ignorant and simple minded that they act as if they'd like to continue being lied to, as if they enjoy losing their liberties, and as if they approve of a theological state. Because that's what we are headed for. Maybe our leader will be "Ilotolla" Ashcroft. Its possible. Americans must really love that idea, after all most still think there are WMD's in Iraq, that the world supports us in Iraq, and that the world was created in seven days. Plato was right about the "noble" lie that the system rests on--the minute that the peope of America discover the truth, Bush's numbers will skydive and he will become a lameduck President or so I hope

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
- George W. Bush, speaking the truth last week
Wow. I can't believe this "Bushism." Either he's bad with words, he really means it (most likely) or he really can't read. Either way, people should consider this "Freudium" slip of Bush's, as it seems that he has spent the last few years hurting this country in more ways than most can imagine.
Oh, and I heard something great from Bill Maher. He pointed this out: Most Americans "support the troops" yet want a trillion dollar tax cut for the rich. Hey wait! Troops get paid by taxes, so by supporting a tax cut for the rich, they actually are fucking over the troops, as we have seen their combat pay cut and their benefits throw out under Bush. Sickening.

Regarding Al Sharpton's interesting and colorful recreation of history and the black vote - "Mr. Sharpton, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. May God have mercy on your soul."

Long time since my last post. The election draws near. A deadlock remains. Bush continues to put out commercials and statements filled with misconceptions and lies. Its time to make a push. Bush must leave the office. Many will say that John Kerry is no better, but on one issue, Kerry stands out: Health Care. If it is ever made an issue, Bush can't win. His strategy of "health accounts" will only seemingly serve the rich, and maybe, maybe, benefit a couple million Americans. Kerry's on the other hands stands to help 26 million or more Americans and can be payed for by rescinding only a third of Bush's cut for those making 200,000 or more a year. Wow. That would help 2/3 of the Americans without health issurance. Give it some thought and go to pkarchive.org and read Krugman's column about it. He explains it much better than I can.

The Gipper is dead- how to reflect?
For the past few years, I have observed his wife, Nancy, you know the sack of bones in designer dresses, campaigning for stem-cell research. Why? I mean, after all, her compadres in the White House are the ones who limited it. Because Ronnie had Alzheimer's. Gee, I guess when its personal it matters. For Republicans, it seems that when it affects them, then they care. Sorta like in 88', when Qualye said if one of his daughters had an abortion, he'd understand? Understand? Wait what happen to those unborn rights? What happened, Nancy, to protecting fetuses? I guess it didnt matter if it was the bloody Gipper who needed the cure.

Hello all,
Its finally the end of a long school, time to review what's happen. It's been crazy. Iraq has turned in to a complete mess beyond anyone's imagination and yet Bush and team still stand by their policies, generals, and such in the face of this!
Today, my brother tells me that an Al-Quadi group in Iraq released a video of them cutting off the head of an American and proudly displaying it as pay back for these prison crimes and such. I get the eerie feelings of My Lai in my blood, remembering the Geneva convetion and such.
Paul Krugman touched on this yesterday. As he says, "Donald Rumsfeld said early in 2002, when he declared that "enemy combatants" — a term that turned out to mean anyone, including American citizens, the administration chose to so designate — don't have rights under the Geneva Convention. Now people around the world talk of an "American gulag," and Seymour Hersh is exposing My Lai all over again." Human rights violations have dug us holes before and our leaders, arrogant as ever, keep digging.
The great FDR quote says it all. If you fuck up, dont keep fucking up. Try something else for god's sake and admit your mistake. A good leader is one who knows and admits his faults, but takes risks none the less. Think Hannibal; he knew very well that his army couldn't topple Rome the city, for they lacked siege equipment. Hannibal thus, after some of the most glorified and amazing military victories ever (Cannae, Lake Trisfine?), decided to try and ravage the countryside and get Rome's allies to go against her. Granted, the strategy failed, but a similar strategy worked under Gen. William T. Sherman during the Civil War. The point is America fails to see its weaknesses, and so do its commanders, probably to a greater extent.
Bush says that he apologized, but he never actually did. Neither did Powell or Rumsfield. In fact, they had to have their secretaries do it for them. After all this, its why I am pushing for people to remove this administration of arrogance.
John Kerry may surprise people eventually, when his campaign kicks into gear in the summer. He may not, but this will be the only time I actually suggest choosing a "neccessary evil." Kerry may be bad, but he will never be George Bush.
On a lighter note, I meant end of the year as in my school year ended today with my last final. Acing away classes, feeling good after a year of turmoil with a fruitless relationship.

Can you believe it? Michael Eisner and the assholes at Disney are refusing to release Michael Moore's new documentary, "Fahrenheit 9/11." Of course, its because some political reasons, namely that Moore suggests many interesting relationships between Bush and the Saudi Royal family. But no problem. Even Eisner admits that Moore will have no trouble finding another distributor.
