The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

It's redundant but I'll do it anyway

You know how I'm always going on about how stupid people are?
Here's some of that proof I love to see so much:







And then he seemed genuinely surprised that the crocodile wanted to kill him.

It's a mystery to me.

Hillary Clinton may not win the nomination but she's getting in some damn good one-liners. Yesterday she said: "I think you'll be able to imagine many things Senator McCain will be able to say. He's never been the president, but he will put forth his lifetime of experience. I will put forth my lifetime of experience. Senator Obama will put forth a speech he made in 2002."

pretty goood!

I'll bet Barack Obama was a bitch to live with yesterday. He presses those sour grapes a little too publicly for me when he looses.

I mean come on folks, he's a first term Senator from Illinois, with little political experience (yes I know he was an organizer blah blah blah) and no foreign policy experience who is running on one issue and one issue only: and that is, Do you all want change so badly that you're willing to put a completely inexperienced, unoriginal African American in the White House for the next four years? His policy of telling everyone what they want to hear is working well. It's proven that we Americans will believe any shit we're told and he's got no reason not to capitalize on that.

I read on some blog yesterday that I found while I was sitting here, completely spacing out my Spanish class, that said something to the effect of "It doesn't matter whether he believes in or worships Jesus." Well, it actually does. His religious beliefs will definitely effect his leadership no doubt about it. It effected Kennedy as a catholic, it effected Nixon as a quaker, even though he was more crazy than religious. It effected Jimmy Carter as a southern baptist,(if I recall correctly Carter declared himself born-again while in office) and it most definitely effects George W Bush who thinks God wanted him to be President. So why in God's name (pun intended) would it not be relevant in this case?

What's more relevant than that to me is that we're all so willing to jump on the empty bandwagon. There's nothing there folks! It's an empty vessel run by a captain who just wants to be the first black American President. Now find me a black guy with some credentials, some real experience on the world stage, hell, find me someone who holds hearings on the NATO committee they're supposed to be chairing in the Senate, and I'll vote for them. Someone of substance with something to say. Someone who can and will stand up and say to the world that we're a responsible nation that takes our role as superpower seriously and comprehends and respects the responsibilities that implies. And then goes out and proves those words are true.

That's a guy I'll vote for.

This guy doesn't impress me at all.

"Be nice to gay people, they're so stupid they might just be the key to me getting elected...then we can forget them."

Well, that's how Bill Clinton got elected...twice. He told us what we wanted to hear and we bought it. And then he fucked us, and not in a good way.

Prepare for more of the same.

I'm not delusional, I know that Hillary Clinton isn't going to fix our problems either, but I do believe she's got a better idea of what it takes to get things done than Obama. If he wants to run again in four years, and he's gotten some real experience and shown his ability to do more than give good speech, as Richard Rothstein said on Proceed At Your Own Risk this morning, I'll campaign for him wholeheartedly. But not this time.

And for something even scarier here's a quote from Rev. John Hagee (who hates fags, of course) about the ecclesiastical possibilities behind Hurricane Katrina:

(from towleroad.com)

"All hurricanes are acts of God, because God controls the heavens. I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God, and they are -- were recipients of the judgment of God for that. The newspaper carried the story in our local area that was not carried nationally that there was to be a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina came. And the promise of that parade was that it was going to reach a level of sexuality never demonstrated before in any of the other Gay Pride parades. So I believe that the judgment of God is a very real thing. I know that there are people who demur from that, but I believe that the Bible teaches that when you violate the law of God, that God brings punishment sometimes before the day of judgment. And I believe that the Hurricane Katrina was, in fact, the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans."

John McCain just welcomed this guy into his life with open arms.

Are you frightened enough yet?

Wait, wait look over there! A crocodile! Go look at it.
