Go Vote!

It's your responsibility as a citizen. Go.
Unfortunately my first choice didn't run again this year. I'm not talking about Tommy Cruise. I'm talking about THE MAN. He is the only person that could ever replace George Washington whom, as you can see here was really f'n cool.


All kidding aside. Go vote.

The Pilgrims Started It

Here is a little video written by the creators of South Park that appeared in the movie Bowling for Columbine. It is a cartoon history of the U.S. dealing mostly with our "climate of fear".



I was just thinking maybe I need a gun to keep me safe from all the chickens running loose in Queens.

A revolution

A post card on PostSecret hit home... once again. Something always does I suppose and that is why I love checking the site every week. This week I saw a card about the possibility of a peaceful revolution.


This popped out at me because it is something I have been pondering a lot lately. Is it possible? If enough people stand up will it work? Originally there were two e-mail responses posted but they have since been removed. I'm reposting:

For encouragement on a peaceful revolution, read about the Filipino Revolution of 1986. Four days, no bloodshed and the existing government was still overturned.

In Portugal we had, in 1974, a peaceful revolution. It is known as "the 25th of April" or "The Carnation Revolution".



It's worth knowing that there is something we can do. Who is with me? How do we start?

I luves my gun!

First piece of news I read today.
We are number one! Great job America! Everybody has a gun but one in five can't even find where they live on a map. Don't get me wrong, I believe in the right to bare arms and that is mostly because I don't trust the government, but what percentage of Americans have some sort of psychological issue? Maybe we should work on the rules a little more before we start jumping up and down with pride that we have enough guns to fill every grade school in the nation.
I feel so safe.

Hooray for education!

Oh Miss South Carolina, what would our country be without your wisdom? When I watched this I laughed a bit. Then I read the word scrambles of her speeches and almost rolled out of my chair. Here is the original:

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because uh some people out there in our nation don't have maps and uh I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and the Iraq everywhere like such as and I believe that they should our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for.

This is my personal scramble that I feel is a more fitting speech.

U.S. Americans are unable to believe that our education in our nation, like education everywhere in South Africa, Iraq, and the Asian countries, don't have maps for the future. Personally, I believe some people out in South Africa and Iraq should help the U.S. or should help so we will be able to build up our U.S. because, Uh, I do that.
They, uh, should like our help and believe that over there, as I should here. The such and such and so.....

I went to public school.
