Oh Ralph Nader, you fucking idiot.

Despite the fact that I agree with the fundamental idea that Americans SHOULD have more than two candidate choices, in general, all you have done is make John McCain a very happy man. Despite your extreme ignorance when you denied responsibility for George W. Bush's election... the fact is that 2-3% --DOES-- make a big difference these days. The...

I'm pretty sure, at this point, that we're going to win.

It's an awesome feeling.

Obama might not carry my home state of Rhode Island, but unless Hillary wins all the remaining states by something like 15% this contest is over.

John Edwards is perhaps the best (and obvious) running-mate choice. Anyhow, Barack will need someone to balance out his perceived weaknesses. It sure wont...

I'd vote for Kucinich over Clinton any day, unfortunetly, he dropped out a while ago.

A Clinton or Bush has led this country for the past 20 years. Doesn't that make anyone else uncomfortable? 232 years ago we rejected the rule of dynasties.



Yeah, that got to me too. While we don't have a monarchy, the sound of Bush VIII scares the shit outta me.

Lennon was interviewed on the Howard Stern show today. Which I thought was pretty cool.

I have more political stuff to discuss, but it'll have to wait. I'm tired and generally feeling furious with the state of Pennsylvania for the atrocious way they take care of their roads during the winter. PA is by far the most dangerous state that I travel though. Within the...

I am debt free as soon as I get my taxes back! Gonna pay off my credit cards and give the rest to my parents to put into my school loan account. I mean, I guess I still owe on my school loans, but 5Gs on credit cards is done!

Time for me to start making my money work for me!

And hey, If I had a little lady, I would have gladly spent more than $20 bucks on her. Since I don't, why not some random nice girl?

I dunno. I tip like a mad man though. I know what it is like to work for tips...so I appreciate a great tipper ever now and then....

PS - I think Pittsburgh is FUCKING RAD! My bro lives there and we alway have SOO much fun! But then again, we take cabs everywhere, so we don't drive much.....

So according to Hillary Clinton, you only really matter if you live in one of the "important" states. New York, California, Ohio, Texas. Rudy Giuliani adopted an attitude like this too, and look what happened.

I guess she thinks your vote is irrelevant if you live in 2/3 of the rest of America that voted for Obama so far.

And I'm predicting three more wins...

From the Washington Post:

Responding to questions about the potential impact of superdelegates, Clinton rejected any notion that those delegates should back the candidate who has won the most pledged delegates through elections, as Senator Obama has suggested. "We have a system," Clinton said. She added "I respect their judgment, a lot of time they have first hand knowledge of the candidates."



If this doesn't...

I heard a rumor that the hometown is flooded again, they should just level that place and start over!
DOH!

What you havn't taken into account is that it hasn't been a democratic system ever.
This is just a different form of it not being democratic.

1) Hillary loaned her campaign $5 million from her own finances.

2) Bill Clinton stated on Tuesday that Obama was the "establishment candidate".

Both of these developments are significant. And both indicate that the Clinton campaign is scared. The first one... loaning herself the money... because she clearly expected that "Super Tuesday" would propel her to a decisive lead for the democratic nomination. Never in...

My mother is an atheist. I've spent most of my life studying different types of philosophy and theology, so I've wound up with some pretty wild ideas about religion and spirituality. I tried explaining some of these ideas to a young lady that I'm trying to get a date with last night, who happens to be a Catholic... that was interesting. And uncomfortable...

I was just saying at breakfast this morning "I wonder who will be our next presidient". My hubby said John McCain. hmmmm
I really want it to be different than that.
So if I had to vote between Hilary and McCain. I still dislike Hilary very very much. I think there really is something dark and wrong about her.
Weird to think about.
I am just really rooting for Obama. Please Please Please. Oh and I really hope that he is who he seems to be.

I don't trust the idea of hope. hope can be destroyed so easily - and when it is, the soul is shattered.

Harold Perrineau is a great actor, don't get me wrong. But it kinda hard to like him in LOST when all he says is "have you seen mah boy?". Plus I keep picturing him as his character in Romeo + Juliet when he's dressed in drag. biggrin

Today's random thoughts:

-I've been contemplating growing out the beard. Like the whole beard, not just the goatee or that chin-only deal I sometimes go with. But I shave my head. Usually a couple times a week since I'm too lazy to do it daily. Not sure how to make that transition not look stupid. I dunno. Just a thought.

-That new Sorrow set is...

Yeah dude, I hear you on being attracted to 19 year olds.

Damn you SG! Damn you!!

I too am balding, I too don't shave the head quite often enough.

I think I might be voting for Obama if I get the chance!

I am pissed however that I found out that Chuck Norris is a fucking republican!!!
WTF Chuck??

"Chuck Norris can win a game of connect four in three moves!"
--Not if his punk ass votes republican, then it might take 6 moves!!

whatever
obeypabst:
Sorry about assuming you are balding. Heck, I love the shaved head with the goatee look!

Oh yeah, and CHICKS dig it too!

Wait a minute, that means you and I should be rolling in the ladies then?

I give up.

That Chuck Norris Google thing made me laugh out loud!

I too am a fan of your blogs!

I still feel bad you can't poop where ever you want to though!
(sorry, we have been talking about pooping lots at work lately)

(pooping and boobs. I like talking about the latter more though)

Hope things are rad with you. If you happen to be down around my hometown and want to set it on fire next time you are there, feel free!

My company seems to be having trouble finding enough work for me lately. Which is weird, because in the three or so years I've been with this company, I've never experienced any kind of seasonal slow-down before.

I blame Bush. And the fucked up state of the economy. Shipping stuff by truck is expensive, and it is getting more expensive considering the cost of fuel....
