    Barack Obama is our next President! 

    Barack Obama

    I can’t express how proud I am of our nation right now, not just because we’ve elected the first African American, but because we’ve elected a truly great man and the leader our country needs. Barack Obama will guide us back to the just path our country needs to be on, and right all of the wrongs our past leaders have done to us as a people.

    McCain’s concession speech made enough reference to Barack’s race to imply that was why he was elected. Such an implication is not true. He won because he stuck to the truth and promised us change. We all now wait to see this change, and I for one am not worried. (More …)

      The real problem is that we didn’t elect Pedro for President. What’s THAT about?

    Election Night 08, 6pm 

    Proud Patriotic Democrat badge

    With just an hour to go until the first polls close, many people have asked me if I’m nervous. I voted two weeks ago and even then I was cautiously optimistic. I am by no means cocky and I knock on wood as I write this, but I think Obama has a fantastic shot.

    Matty B. Turned me onto a great website for electoral vote projections and information in general about the elections, http://www.fivethirtyeight.com, and I’ve been there throughout the last couple of months. One of the latest articles posted there affirm my optimism:

    If those states go roughly as expected (meaning, say, an Obama win in Virginia and a close race in Indiana), we can conclude with almost literal 100 percent certainty that Obama will win the election
    fivethirtyeight.com

    C’mon Virginia! Vote Obama!

    I’m crossing my fingers, eating bread and cinnamon butter in lieu of popcorn, and watchin’ the map

    Who Told You These Things? 

    There is a very moving and intelligent article over at thisisby.us that I think everyone should read. It, um, asks some very interesting questions.

    “Who told you this?” I began. “Who told you supporting our troops meant supporting endless war; that disagreeing with our administration’s policies meant turning my back on my country? Who told you that I have to follow our President into the pits of a hell of our own making, never questioning the course though my heart and head scream for sanity? As for our fighting men and women, who told you I’ve no compassion for their sacrifice or respect for their service? As I beg my elected representatives to bring them home, so they might be safe until the day a war of choice becomes a war of necessity – who told you that makes me a traitor?

    • Doody 11:01 pm on 10/9/2007 Permalink

      *in robot voice* I too have been told these things by the Fox News Channel. Not liking war and president is bad.

      it’s not like songs haven’t been written about this as well. Check out the song “They” by Jem (no really) and tell me you aren’t tapping along with it as you get creeped out.

      It is interesting to finally here a soldier’s point of view that has not been edited and watered down to fit on a TV spot.

    • Jesse 8:35 am on 4/25/2007 Permalink

      If it weren’t for the far left the far right wouldn’t have as much support, the hatred the war supporters feel for liberal wackos makes them even more supportive of their leaders. The whole idea that if it pisses off educated liberals it makes the blue collar workers happy. Which is a big theory about why Bush always seems to act like an idiot in public.

    Total General Recall 

    I think the gist of Gonzales’ testimony is he does not recall.

    Geezuz. I couldn’t even get through this whole video. I wonder if he gave them ANY information AT ALL? What a pussy way to plead the 5th amendment. I hope nobody believes him. If he has that poor a recollection he needs to step down and seek medical attention for amnesia.

    The Irresponsibility of the Press 

    And yet we wonder why Americans are so ignorant to the rest of the world…

    Bush Admits Flawed Intelligence 

    Today brought something I never thought I’d see: Bush not only admitting that the intelligence about Iraq was faulty, but also taking responsability for… well, for anything!

    via CNN.com
    On the eve of Iraq’s historic election, President Bush took responsibility Wednesday for “wrong” intelligence that led to the war, but he said removing Saddam Hussein was still necessary.

    He still states that he was justified and it was the right thing to do, which is bull, but I can’t exactly expect miracles here. The article goes on to state that his aproval rating is at 42%, up 4% from November, which I don’t understand, but I also don’t understand how ID has gotten as far as it has, so logic doesn’t exactly enter into it.

      Bush: “Bad Intelligence”
      Intelligence: ” I’m sorry.”

    Rumsfeld Slips Up 

    During Donald Rumsfeld’s surprise Christmas Eve trip he made a freudian slip in reference to Sept. 11th’s Flight 93.

    via WorldNetDaily
    “I think all of us have a sense if we imagine the kind of world we would face if the people who bombed the mess hall in Mosul, or the people who did the bombing in Spain, or the people who attacked the United States in New York, shot down the plane over Pennsylvania and attacked the Pentagon, the people who cut off peoples’ heads on television to intimidate…”

    I hate to be a conspiracy theorist– hell, I still think Tupac is dead even though they’ve just released his 12th+ (i lost count) album since his death on September 13, 1996– but there is some very real controvercy over what went on before and during 9-11-01.

     

    • B 9:35 pm on 12/28/2004 Permalink

      hahaha i hadn’t heard of that
      jeez, that’s a bad slip

      yea, the whole 9-11 events are pretty weird
      especially the Pentagon, you ever see pictures of the wreckage?
      and hear about all the cameras that caught footage of the events but the tapes were all taken away and never shown?

    • euicho 10:33 pm on 12/28/2004 Permalink

      Yeah exactly! The whole tape confiscation thing is totally messed up

    • B 11:20 pm on 12/28/2004 Permalink

      hehe that flash thing is exactly what i was thinkin of
      i wanted to show that on campus when i was showing F9/11 and other movies but i never got it onto VCD

    • euicho 1:23 am on 12/31/2004 Permalink

      damn that sux. would have been great to show that!
      If you ever need it in the future I can rip it for you
