 While the Democratic convention takes place this week and the Republicans prepare for theirs next week, both parties seem to be unconcerned that they've missed the ballot registration deadline in Texas. Texas requires political parties submit the certifications for their candidates 70 days before the general election--that was August 26. So, the Libertarian candidate, Bob Barr, is the only official candidate on the ballot.
It should be interesting to see how this plays out. Let's see what slimy tactics the major parties attempt on this one. |

 I couldn't stand to waste my evenings sitting in front of the TV watching the Democratic National Convention. But I have been streaming it on my second monitor while I catch up on a few things with the computer. What a display of hypocrisy and nothingness! Person after person gets up and spews nonsense. How many of them actually believe what they say?
The theme that's bothered me the most is the push for universal healthcare. They start by bashing the Bush administration about fiscal irresponsibility. OK, sure, I certainly can't argue with that. But then the Democratic speakers go on to talk about how they will control spending and then they go on in the next sentences to tout their plans for universal healthcare and free education for everyone. How the hell do they expect to pay for that? |

  It's pretty much a forgone conclusion, barring some major gaffe in the next few months, that Barack Obama will be our next President. McCain's pro-war stance puts him out of contention; besides, he'll never survive the debates--Obama's eloquent charisma will blow McCain off the stage.
Unless you are in favor of the USA continuing to build its empire by beating other countries into submission, you can't seriously consider voting for McCain. If you vote for him simply because you're Republican, stop and think for a few minutes about why you're a Republican. And "because I'm certainly not going to be a Democrat" is not a valid reason--there are other choices, you know. If you think you have a good reason for voting for McCain other than to promote war, please leave your comments below. |

No more turn signals: are we that lazy? |

 I admit I have a bit of a road rage problem. But what do you expect--there are so many clueless, inconsiderate drivers. I would be fine if everyone would just drive right!
Over the past few years, I've been seeing fewer and fewer turn signals. Today on the way to work, people were turning all over the place, but I saw only two turn signals actually used. Have we become that lazy that we can't even bother to use the turn signal any more? I try to find other reasons why this is happening. Is it because everyone's hands are too busy fiddling with cell phones, radios, and GPSs? Was there a report I missed that claims using turn signals increases global warming? If you're turning, let me know! That's all I'm asking. Otherwise, I get the impression you think the road is all yours and the rest of us are just in your way. And that's when I get the urge to start ramming you. Do you use your turn signal reliably? |

On the evening of June 9, Representative Dennis Kucinich introduced a resolution in the House to impeach President Bush. The resolution cites 35 counts of high crimes and misdemeanors committed by President Bush stemming from his use of warrantless wiretaps and other violations of FISA, the illegal invasion of Iraq and the use of propaganda to promote the war, violations of the Constitution and Geneva Conventions in regards to detainment of his self-created category of "enemy combatants", involvement in the Plame Affair and subsequent commutation of Scooter Libby's sentence, and many others. The list is long. In short, during his administration, President Bush has done egregious damage to our system of law. He has been arrogant in his flouting of the Constitution and other high laws. In fact, Bush himself has even admitted his unlawfulness on several occasions. |
