Remind me again why I don't like George Bush

Oh yeah, that's why.

We live in a theocracy. It can end next November.

Remind me again why I don't like Hillary Clinton

Oh yeah, that's why.

So let me get this straight. It's not that Sen. Obama did cocaine in the past that we should find troubling, it's that he's candid about it, and because he's candid he's unelectable. The inanity of this position is astounding. Isn't that what we want from our politicians? Openness and candor? As opposed to Sen. Clinton who seems incapable of taking a position on anything without polling it first.

But it doesn't stop after her apology yesterday. Here's her husband continuing to play the "experience" card.

I'm constantly amazed when I hear people who support Hillary Clinton say, "Well, you know she's better than Bush." As if that's how low we've set the bar. You merely have to be better than Bush to be qualified to be President. These petty personal attacks on Sen. Obama are a product of a corrupt system of which the Clintons have been a part of. Honestly, if you want to reverse the damage done to our country due to 8 years of Bush/Cheney/Rove, why in the world would you vote for Hillary Clinton, a Senator who authorized the war in Iraq, helped grant this administration the power to detain and torture people and then changes her position only when she's polled it for political convenience? Seriously, she's Cheney in a pant-suit.

Subway Pole Dancing

Just so no one accuses me of being too serious.



The Daily News has the scoop of the day.

Frightening

This is the scariest article you can read today.

This week, after reviewing his own new data, NASA climate scientist Jay Zwally said: "At this rate, the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free at the end of summer by 2012, much faster than previous predictions."

Read on.

Stellar physics and how they apply to the 2007 Philadelphia Eagles

I know the Eagles are going to get embarrassed by the Dallas Cowboys and there's nothing I can do but sit there and watch it. Maybe if I took heroin before the game it would be more tolerable. Hmmm.

With only three games left in this dead rotting carcass of a season I have come to a conclusion about the Philadelphia Eagles. You see, what's been going on with the Eagles this season is kind of like what happens inside the core of a star. In a star's core (like our sun), hydrogen atoms are being converted into heavier elements thusly producing enough energy to prevent the star's mass from collapsing in on itself because of gravity. I kind of view the Eagles in a similar way. Given the otherwise amazing season that running back, Brian Westbrook, has had - if you removed him from the Eagles, the mass of the team's collective suckiness would collapse in on itself, potentially forming a black hole in south Philadelphia.

Our solar system is curved

Well not specifically as depicted to the right, but rather it's curved back on itself due to the Sun's magnetic field.

Are you serious?

Ok, Roddy White. I understand that Michael Vick is your friend and all that, but to show off a t-shirt that says, "Free Mike Vick" on a nationally televised game is just tasteless. By wearing that statement, you're implying one of two things. Either a) Michael Vick didn't do anything wrong, or b) Michael Vick shouldn't be punished. You would be wrong on both counts.

Michael Vick killed dogs. That's all that needs to be said. No need to parse the details of that statement. Oh, except I should add that he profited off the killing of dogs too, which makes it worse.
