Plastic Wrap Prank (yes, intriguing, isn't it?)

Oh. my. god. Somebody plastic- wrapped Karl Rove's car!!! I'm sorry, but I have to laugh.

Alberto "I don't recall" Gonzales Resigns!

Yay!!! He's gone! Finally. I flipped out when I found out that they were giving him more power over the death penalty. He's been blatantly lying to protect his superiors and he should have been fired, but, of course, he was following the orders of the people who should have fired him. Ironic, no? Anyway, I'm just glad he's finally gone.

Barack Obama on the Daily Show 2

Here are the videos I promised:

I promise I'll put interviews with other candidates on here as soon as I find some good ones.

How Green is Your Candidate?

I think this page gives a good background on the candidates stands on environmental issues. Once again, Kucinich seems like he should be a forerunner, but I guess he just hasn't got luck on his side. Also, although this doesn't paint a wonderful picture of Obama, I still think that he is one of the better candidates, Anyway, take a look (if the link doesn't work, just copy and paste):

These are important issues to take into consideration, even if they do seem to take a backseat to other issues such as Iraq and illegal immigration. Of course, Iraq is the thing that needs attention now, but we also need to think about the future of our planet. I greatly recommend watching Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth- it's really interesting.

Barack Obama on the Daily Show

I just turned off the Daily Show and decided I had to say something about the Obama interview.
However, first let me say that I decided recently that since Dennis Kucinich is NOT going to be elected, I should put my support behind one of the candidates that has a chance. So Obama has my vote (or would, if I could vote).
The interview didn't dig up too much but I think it's worth watching. Obama always seems so sincere in his interviews. I would sum up the interview, but I think it would be better to post the video. Unfortunately, it's not on the web yet, but I will post it here as soon as I can. In the meantime, here's a good clip from an interview with Obama on the Daily Show in 2005. It's out of date, of course, but why not?



I'd like to leave you with a quote from Obama about the one thing that is most often held against him: lack of experience.

"We (he and his campaign staff) try to remind people that nobody had a longer resume than Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, and that hasn't worked out too well."

California to become a blue AND red state

Ok, don't get me wrong. I'm all for election reform. However, this is ridiculous!

This cannot be passed! If you live in California, try to do something! Raise awareness, send letters to you representatives, protest! This is absolutely ridiculous.
Personally, I think we should throw the Electoral College out the window and elect people by national majority. That's the only way to be fair and make every vote count.

God's Politics Blog

This is a really interesting article. I suggest you read it (it isn't actually anything to do with God or religion- it's about Iraq).

2008 Presidential Election

What does everybody think of the candidates? All the people I really like seem to have no chance, based on the polls. I really like Dennis Kucinich, but there is no chance of him being elected. I do not like Hillary Clinton. I disagree with a lot of what she says. I like Edwards more than her, but I do not really like him either. Obama is my favorite out of the top three Democrats, but he seems inexperienced. I do not like any of the Republicans (some of them seem a little nuts to me), but out of them, my pick is Ron Paul. He seems like the only nearly sane one, even though I do not agree with a lot of what he says. So anyway, what does everybody else think?

Important Issues- Iraq

Ok. So who else votes for getting the hell out of there? Seems to me we're doing more harm than help. We never should have invaded in the first place. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 so that was a pitiful excuse to invade and they never had nuclear weapons and we knew it. Basically, George W. wanted oil. At least, that is how I see it. More importantly, though, what are we going to do about it now? What are other people's views on this whole thing?

Hey Everybody!

Hey. I was going to try to let everybody post main entries, but I can't figure out how to do that and besides I think it would get kind of crazy. So anyone can post, but only as a comment under one of my entries. I'll have open threads, too. Thanks!
