An Abstinence Only Sex Education Parable
To avoid being too offensive I am posting on another blog. I would say NSFW, unless you have good porn-shui. Not explicit, but perhaps in poor taste.

Isn't it about time for...
Between the election, the war, the coming wars, and the financial bailout, isn't about time for a celebrity sex scandal or murder to take our minds off things? Come on washed-up '90s actors and/or atheletes! Take one for the team! Can we find Eddie Murphy another transvestite or something?
It is soooo depressing :-(

My non-sexist liberal attack on...
OK. Quick semi-accurate history story. This promises to be a highly biased and perhaps poorly thought out argument... Warning protocols engaged.
Stalin began running the Soviet Union into the ground. Poor judgement and a grip on the idea that he alone was right are the seeds of Soviet collapse. Stalin dies and pick as his successor a party soldier. A true believer. Frankly, a bit of a hick. That hick was Nikita Krushchev.
Now, I like Krushchev. When I took a grad-level Soviet History course, the instructor painted him as a bit of a loveable buffon, as long as you ignore the "we will bury you" outburst. Krushchev did actually believe in the Soviet Union, he believed in the Revolution, and he loved his country. The problem is, this is never enough.
Lets say our nightmares come true. McCain is elected and becomes the doppelgänger of Bush, dies in office and leaves behind one of the most unqualified members of the Republican party. The main difference between Krushchev and Palin is that Krushchev at least believed he was doing what was right for his country. Bush style republicans believe in doing things for themselves.
Like them or not, Gulliani and Romney were at least qualified. Huckabee too. I guess that like Stalin, McCain does not want to be followed by anyone who could show him up...
Maybe I shouldn't post before my second cup of coffee?

Biden Kicks Ass!
OK, I am posting a link, but will comment...
I am not overly into politics. I am a yellow dog democrat. I wanted Hillary Clinton to get the nomination, but hey. I am in Obama's corner now, and frankly like the guy a lot now that he gets to beat up on McCain rather than Hillary.
Now... The link below is to an All Things Considered report on Biden. Again, I am not that into politics... I knew Joe Biden exists, but not much beyond that. Then, I heard the snipets from the Michigan speech in the report. Biden is tough. Where has this guy been? Wasn't he trying to be president when Gary Hart was still a viable candidate?!? He seems to me to have the energy and drive of a Howard Dean or even Dennis Kucinich (I like Dennis, maybe I give him too much credit?).
Biden seems like the perfect match for Obama. He's an old school democrat who has been around the block a bit, and his energy will be a great asset. I hope he can help win back some of the lost Hillary supporters. I hope he can help get the Dems in the Whitehouse... I hope I don't have to emigrate to New Zealand (they are looking for IT people :-).
GObama.

most of you won't care but this was damn impressive
Jozy Altiodore (a 20 year old american striker) just played his first game with his new club Villarreal (the reigning second place team from the spanish la liga which is the best league in the world tied with the EPL) this is huge for the US as he is looking like he just might be the best american soccer player of all time and maybe one of the best up and coming youngsters in the world... think didier drogba with better foot skills. enjoy the highlight reel =) or try to
so far this 'blog' is just a bunch of links to stuff.
but not much 'blogging' is going on.
do we need to do more writing? or is it enough to just have links to click on?
...after all, clicking on links is so easy - even lukey can do it.

Under Obama's tax plan...
Under Obama's tax plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.
