A moment in history

5 Nov

Tonight while talking to my friend Richie on AIM he asked me if I was excited to be alive at a serious turning point in our nation’s history, to have been of voting age and watch the first black person be elected as President. My answer is pretty mixed–yes and no.

Yes, because it truly is monumental when taking a step back to reflect upon the fact that there was a 109-year-old woman who had lived through a time as not only an African American but also being a woman she was not allowed to vote. And now, when she was able to cast her ballot in favor of the first serious black man to run for the position. To have to convince the nation throughout his whole campaign that he is not involved in terrorist activities, not incapable based on his race, and truly interested in moving the country in a positive direction during an economic decline was no small feat. In making it to this point he has really shown his intentions are (hopefully) honorable.

No, because I do not see this as a historically positive event unless this man really helps turn around where we are headed economically and with the liberties that should be afforded to our citizens. I am referring specifically to a woman’s right to choose what she does with her body and the ability for anyone to marry the person they love instead of being ruled by an outdated set of religion-based morals. Without action that helps our nation he will have been afforded an amazing opportunity that he then wasted. Not only will it be a mark upon his record, but it will certainly prevent any more “underdogs” from being elected in years to come.

I am delirious at this moment, and this whole entry might not make sense. Here’s to hoping I didn’t fill in the wrong bubble and potentially help an unworthy individual become the figurehead of our nation.

Palin goes porno

2 Oct

What can I say, Larry Flynt is a genius.

Flynt’s producers posted an anonymous help-wanted ad on Craigslist in L.A. just days after the Republican convention. “Looking for a Sarah Palin look-alike,” read the ad, “for an adult film to be shot in the next 10 days.”

Now this I fucking have to see.

No more Palin, plox.

I’m sorry, but does anyone like Sarah Palin? I’m leaning towards no right now. As I’ve been dealing with mostly women for the past nine months (god help me) I’ve noticed that a bunch of the girls that were all kinds of gung-ho about voting for Hilary are shifting their interest in Palin’s direction.

I’m sorry, but are you people really so fucking stupid as to not notice what’s being done here? Are you not terrified that the Republican party has essentially put a ventriloquist dummy next to McCain on the ticket? What’s going to happen to the cunt-ry (har har) when McCain has more health problems, dies, and we’re left with this little puppet in control of our nation? I’m freaked out by someone who didn’t even get briefed about some pretty basic interview topics. She compared herself to Abe Lincoln as she’s trying to tell me what to do with whatever sprouts up in my uterus. FAIL.

Few things scare me as much as the idea that this broad actually stands a chance of in any way being in control of how our nation is run. Apparently Matt Damon agrees with me.

I can’t stop laughing at this. Clearly the liberal press is out to keep the white man down.

Lisa Nova is keeping me in stitches

29 Feb

YouTube nerd-girl Lisa Nova is at it again with another hilarious video based around commentary involving good ol’ Hil & her “buddy” Obama!

Hilarious. If Lisa Nova ever quits making videos I may have to leave the internetzzz for realz. IZ SRS BIZNIZZ!

Women giving up on Hillary

4 Feb

I’m sure you’ve noticed that a lot of what I post politically relates to Hillary and Barack. The reason for this is because that’s where I see the most clarification is needed. Would I like to see a woman be president? Sure, whatever. My underlying concern is who is going to make the best president for the US right now.

The video below is of why the former President of Chicago NOW, Lorna Brett Howard, talking about why she switched from supporting Hillary Clinton to supporting Barack Obama. This is relating to women’s reproductive rights issues.

That’s right, Obama has a 100% voting record on the subject. Yet again Hillary is attempting to spread rumors that are utterly untrue about Barack. What is this, fourth or fifth instance of her inaccurate accusations being publicized??

When it comes down to it, I think Hillary is relying heavily on the votes of women who want to see another female take their place in the white house. Which would be fine if I thought she was going to be able to stick to her guns on any topic. However, it appears some women are not interested in supporting Hillary based on her support for the war in Iraq.

Tomorrow is the super-Tuesday primary. I have my fingers crossed people come to their senses before then and quit voting for someone just because of what’s between their legs.

Making Hillary cry made her vote for Obama

9 Jan

Yes, you read that right. I’m writing this post assuming you guys heard about the question asked of Mrs. Clinton that left her teary-eyed… and may have led to her win on Tuesday night in New Hampshire. The more amusing portion of this little story is that while Marianne Pernold says she believes that Hilary’s response was the real deal, she still voted for Obama.

Oh, what a tangled web politicians’ emotional responses weave!
