Tomorrow
Well, President Bush is going to disclose his plan for Iraq tomorrow. I see it going one of three ways:
1. He listens to Congress and the American people and announces that we will have a definite exit strategy. He and Cheney then resign, allowing Nancy Pelosi and Congress to set about the work […]

A Nice Neutral Feeling
A fun way to smash hopes after voting is to call a friend of the opposite political party and remind them that your vote cancelled theirs out. It’s especially fun if they waited in line for 4 hours.
Just don’t say that to someone you can’t outrun, as tensions run high with politics.

I’ll Probably Lose To “None Of The Above” Again, Though
As you go to the polls tomorrow, please keep in mind one of our great American traditions: the write-in candidate. Want a governor that isn’t involved with a multi-layered marketing company? Want a governer who has a much less prominent mole? If so, feel free to write my name in.
For those of you who want […]

Abortion
A heavy subject, and timely, seeing as many people vote according to how a candidate stands on this issue. (I personally think that basing your voting choice solely on this issue is a bad idea.)
Currently, I would label myself as pro-choice. I think that abortions should be safe, legal, and rare. Here is an article […]

Peace
This is a picture of me and Cindy Sheehan. It was taken this past Tuesday at the event I went to in Kalamazoo. There were several speakers, and Cindy Sheehan spoke last. One of my favorite speakers was a young man who actually wasn’t originally scheduled to speak. Derek was 25 years old, had served in […]

Peace, Life, Truth
I’m kind of excited–tonight I am going to hear Cindy Sheehan speak in Kalamazoo. Here is a person who has endured tremendous personal loss, yet has had the courage and the energy to speak out about against something she feels is wrong (and many others feel that way too).
I watched a short interview with her […]

A Few of My Favorite Things
…Truth and sarcasm.
“I mean, think about it. Other than the war in Iraq, the Katrina disaster, the deficit, the CIA leak, torture, stopping stem cell research, homeland security, global warming and undercutting science, we’ve yet to really feel the negative effects of the Bush administration.”
–Bill Maher (See the full rant here)
Now thoughts from me
Think it […]

Playtahfucious Says
A hungry fox and a yapping puppy once approached a hen guarding her eggs. The fox was dangerous, but the yapping puppy annoyed the hen more, so she got up and chased away the puppy, leaving the fox free to steal her eggs.
Apply that where you may.

Would You Like French Strikes With That? (And Other News)
-Looks like there are strikes again in France over the labor law.
When I think of French strikes, I think of mimes and romance aficionados throwing smoked cheese at historic landmarks by candlelight.
-Tom Delay is finally resigning.
It’s about time. Did he just realize that dishonesty, greed, stealing, conspiracy, and illegal money management was not good politics? […]

V
My best friend Rachel and I saw “V For Vendetta” last night. It was the second time I’ve seen it, and I love it. Below you will find some quotes I liked from the movie. I will most likely elaborate on them in future posts.
Evey: “He used to say that artists use lies to tell […]
