New Year? Just Like The Old Year

by: Debra

One of the drawbacks to public transportation is that you usually have no control over who sits next to you. I've sat next to people who were desperately in need of a bath...the week before. People have drank, thrown up or wanked off (it was eight in the morning!) on the bus. They have wailed, cried, argued or talked to people who weren't there. It can get annoying which is why I wear headphones and listen to music. If I had been on the bus with this woman, I would have asked her to shut up. Not be quiet, but shut up. The bus driver is an unsung hero for asking her to leave the bus, not a discriminator. Some of these "religious" fanatics would harangue a monk who had observed a vow of silence for twenty years just to prove how religious they are.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. We need a national primary followed thirty days later by the national election. Enough is enough and we were past that eight months ago. I seriously doubt that less people would vote and more people might be informed. At least it would give all the citizens a chance to vote on all the candidates, not just those with money leftover. The system is broken and it needs to be fixed. As this poll points out, all Americans should have an equal say.

Don't make me laugh. Who really believes this? You know darn well that there was a signing statement attached. Honestly, the crap that they think we'll believe.

It really doesn't matter what George Orwell would think now, the truth of the matter is that he wrote a book many years ago that is accurately reflecting the current deteriorating state of privacy in America. One doesn't actually have to live through tyranny to recognize it or write about it in all its forms. Interesting how the Bible isn't held to the same scrutiny. You just have to take it on faith.

While Ron Paul has some ideas I agree with, most of them I don't. He is well known enough that he should be allowed to participate in the debates because he does raise points that need to be discussed out in the open. But this is Fox, what the heck was I thinking?

Go get 'em Deb. My frustration level is now pretty high as my hawgs are being eaten alive by the Mizou Tigers. Just another little kick in the ass to remind me how small I really am in the scheme of things.

Mule, please don't rub it in too hard.

"....national primary followed thirty days later by the national election?"

Whatever would Wolfie and Billo and company do for the other 10 months?
We can only have so many missing white girls.

blackdog,
Condolences on the Razorbacks.

Happy '08 evabuddy, the year when it all happened. I don't know yet what IT will be, since I don't have Bill Clinton's lawyers to help parse it for me, but perhaps IT won't be all bad. Please keep these words near to your heart, to help steer you from harm:

"No matter where you go, or how you get there; There you are!"

Deb, I'd rather hold my nose and vote for Ron Paul than Hillary, not that there is a snowball's chance in hell of that happening. The fact that he is not being allowed to participate in the debates is very telling, don't you think?
God forbid any of the frontrunner's have to defend they're phony baloney platforms. 4

I don't have that option, Ron Paul is a racist and for that alone, he won't get my vote.

I first noticed him during the 2004 elections when he wanted Republicans to vote for Kerry because he maintained that no matter what happened, Kerry would only be a one term president because the mess was so large that he wouldn't be able to clean it up.

I just can't get past the white supremacy thing though.

I'd like to know how the hell he can be excluded. I'd like to hear an excuse from Ron P. concerning the Newsletters, that makes me at least think about him, but Deb's right...so far his story stinks to high heaven. If you entertain aspirations of leadership, choosing who you will be associated with has to be a part of the selection process. That goes for Obama just as much as Paul, or Giuliani (blechh) for that matter.
