I'M NOT RED NOR BLUE...
Posted: Tuesday, September 28, 2004
I admit, I used to think I did not know what to do. I disliked both of the major candidates.
A friend of mine said to me, "why don't you do what I'm doing, and vote for Nader? It'll send a message."
What message, I'm thinkin'. What, that I can throw my vote away on a candidate that has zero chance of winning? To me, the message I would send then would be that I'm stupid.
What of the two, Kerry and Bush? I think that Bush has had four years, and has handled the country like a kid playing with his dad's loaded gun. I don't think he's stupid, as many say, I just think he's evil. He's in bed with the Saudi royals, one of the most oppressive, intolerant regiemes on the face of the Earth. They even bailed out young GW when he drove the oil company that he had been given to play with into chapter 11. When a bunch of 22-24 year old young Republicans posted their resumes on the New Heritage website, these youths with zero experience were put in charge of the rebuilding in Iraq.
Just as one example, essential building supplies like cement are imported at considerable expense, despite there being 17 cement factories in Iraq, that only need emergency generators to be brought back up and running. Out of 18.4 billion dollars allocated to rebuilding Iraq's infastructure, only a billion has been spent so far, mostly on cement slabs imported from Turkey, used to surround the compounds where the American workers live.
As for Kerry, other than platitudes like "the wrong leadership for America," what has he given us as to his positions on anything? He's got some good ideas on healthcare, but has that message gotten out? Has the media been covering Kerry's campaign, so that we can hear for ourselves?
I can't wait to hear the debates. I think it's gonna be like an MIT grad having a discussion with a kid wearing a hockey helmet who just got off the short bus. We know who is who, don't we?
The only message Kerry has given that is loud and clear to me, is "at least I'm not George W. Bush." That might be enough for me.

WHEN WILL THIS PART OF FOUNDRY EXPLODE?
Posted: Saturday, September 18, 2004
I'm just curious when the feeding fenzy on this part of the website is gonna start. I have a feeling that post-October 4th, people are going to be on this site like a bunch of people who just got off Weight watchers going for the last Sara Lee cake in the store. I just wish they'd get Ron and Fez on XM, too. I used to love those "AFRO" shows.

FEAR AND SELF-LOATHING IN NJ
Posted: Friday, September 17, 2004
I live down the NJ shore, and I saw part of the O&A event from a distance. It was very crowded, and I couldn't get any closer. I was so jealous of all of the tanned healthy-looking complexions I saw there. Their collective good looks filled me with such self-loathing that I wanted to dive under one of those oceanside trolleys. My pale, reflective, fishbelly skin is the color of raw cheap bread dough, and looks like a body that's been in the ocean for three days. Laura Palmer had better skin when they found her wrapped in plastic in "Twin Peaks." My adult acne makes my face look like a ground target that's been carpet-bombed. God, if I didn't have a goatee, I'd look like a cancer patient. See? This is why laser eye surgery is not for everone.
