WOW.
just WOW

are you serious?

Who dropped the ball? The White House for only notifying the New York Police one week in advance. and The NYPD for not notifying the MAYOR!

Tommorrow, I'm going to strap on a bomb vest, and walk around the white house fence- you know, for the photo opportunity

wow...

"In what should send a frightening chill down the spine of every blogger, writer, journalist and First Amendment advocate in the United States, Phoenix police raided the home of a blogger who has been highly critical of the department."

Lawmakers in at least eight states want recipients of food stamps, unemployment benefits or welfare to submit to random drug testing.

I'm all for it. In my opinion, if you're on welfare, you shouldn't spend money on recreational drugs- including alcohol and tobacco. I've heard stories of people buying $80 worth of food with food stamps, and then $80 worth of alcohol, tobacco, and other junk. It angers me!
These programs are for people who are in genuine desperation, and by no means should they be eliminated. But it's not a free ride. If my tax dollars are going to help you out, you're not going to turn around, and get wasted. You're going to use your free time to work, or better your situation.

That's all for now. Expect more in the future!

Good bye

The latest bill that's been passed, the FISA act, has destroyed the last few shreds of hope I had in this representative democracy known as the United States of America. The Constitution has taken a back seat to the piggy banks of telecoms that payed the senators who voted in favor of the bill.
The legalizing of warrantless wiretapping is bad enough. What really stings is the retroactive immunity. It's like, a perversion of Ex Post Facto laws...

People say I shouldn't worry about it, unless I'm doing something wrong. Well, I'm not doing anything wrong, but when people look at me, or even my name, they see a terrorist. Sure, "they don't profile" I just get "randomly" picked for further testing every single time that I fly.

I used to believe in this country. But it seems that the only thing worth believing in is the almighty dollar. Corporations run this country because they've got the money.
So with that, I'm saying good bye.
There will be no more updates to this blog because the only thing that gets people thinking is money or the possibility of making money.
Maybe I'll research personal finance...

A Child's Guide To U.S. Foreign Policy

Interesting read. I wonder if they'll make another chapter any time soon...

This isn't high school, it's real fucking life...

In high school, I had friends that would go out, and cause all sorts of trouble. They acted irresponsibly, and even dangerously because they knew their parents would bail them out of any trouble they got into.
Even in college, there were (more) people like that.

It seems that people like that have been around since before I was even in high school because they're old enough to get in serious trouble, expecting that the government will bail them out.

Of course, when you got in trouble with your parents, you'd get grounded. There are no repercussions here. Now, the ones getting punished are the responsible people who got loans they COULD afford, or just kept renting, or doing whatever. The point is, tax dollars of responsible citizens are being rerouted to fund irresponsible behavior.

Yes, lending companies may have shoddy practices. But they don't force anyone to sign anything- it is up to the person applying for a loan to read the papers, and run the numbers.

"Black men are bad fathers"

At least that's what Democratic presidential candidate, Barack Obama thinks.
It's interesting to note that nobody is in an uproar about a popular politician saying that black men "have abandoned their responsibilities, acting like boys instead of men. "
Imagine the riots that would ensue if McCain, Bush, Clinton, Carter, etc. said anything like that.

Obama should encourage ALL PARENTS (not just men, not just black men) to be better parents.
