i will personally drive to your city and punch you in the fucking throat with a spiked baseball bat. i think this shit might be my 'new' cause for '05. ending racism has proven to be a bit of a pain in the ass. there are just so many variables and honestly, quite a bit of self defeatism on the part of the minorities themselves. that's getting to be a bit tiring. thankfully, gay's don't really suffer from such pitfalls. they're a pretty healthy, happy group of folks (no pun intended.) all they want is to not be hated on...i can handle that. and infact, i can take it a step further. as much as i've opposed GTA, on the low, that shit has me kind of amped up on start…

Friday, November 5th, 2004 17 Reasons Not to Slit Your Wrists...by Michael Moore Dear Friends, Ok, it sucks. Really sucks. But before you go and cash it all in, let's, in the words of Monty Python, “always look on the bright side of life!” There IS some good news from Tuesday's election. Here are 17 reasons not to slit your wrists: 1. It is against the law for George W. Bush to run for president again. 2. Bush's victory was the NARROWEST win for a sitting president since Woodrow Wilson in 1916. 3. The only age group in which the majority voted for Kerry was young adults (Kerry: 54%, Bush: 44%), proving once again that your parents are alway…

For a couple of days I just had to switch off the television and toss out my newspapers unopened. It's not so much that I couldn't endure the parade of understandably excited conservatives gloating about their great new governing mandate. (Though I do feel that if Bush intends to take a much-belated stab at being a uniter, his first move should be to have Grover Norquist's lips stapled shut.) The bigger annoyance was the media's predictable, tedious insistence on painting Tuesday's events in the most earth-shattering terms imaginable. With media types, no event is self-contained or mundane. It must be a watershed moment or part of a burgeoning trend or the sign of so…

A crazy British plot to swing Ohio to Kerry—and how it backfired. By Andy Bowers Updated Thursday, Nov. 4, 2004, at 5:04 PM PT Imagine being an undecided voter in Clark County, Ohio, last month. You kind of think John Kerry has some good points about the war in Iraq and the economy, but you feel more comfortable with George Bush's faith and his resolve. One day, you open your mailbox to find a letter from someone in England you've never met. It starts like this: …

Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has appeared on a new videotape directly admitting to organizing the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and threatening more attacks to come. Al-Jazeera broadcast parts of the 18-minute-long tape Friday evening. In his clearest comments yet taking responsibility for the 9/11 attacks, bin Laden addresses the American people and says the 9/11 attacks were carried out because "we are a free people ... and we want to regain the freedom of our nation.'' "We decided to destroy towers in America,'' the al Qaeda leader says, adding the attacks were even more destructive than they had hoped. He ads that he thought of the idea of attacking th…

Nearly 289,000 registered voters in Kentucky will cast ballots without a state law to protect them from campaign-worker harassment and electioneering, according to the secretary of state's office. It will be Kentucky's first general election since 1988 without a statewide electioneering law. The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in January that the state law banning candidates and campaign volunteers from within 500 feet of the polls violated free speech rights. The U.S. Supreme Court yesterday declined to intervene in the ruling. In the absence of a statewide ban, Attorney General Greg Stumbo said his investigators would focus today on illegal a…

First of all, to beleive that there is someone in a swing state that would vote for a third party presidential candidate, is, i beleive, nuts. I swear that the republicans thought this up. The thinking being that liberals everywhere are stupid enough to fall for it. Does anyone beleive that your vote is something to be traded away? I know that I couldn't trust someone from another state to represent my vote at the polls.

Just finished absorbing two great hours of History Channel. This show was about the history and progress of Private militaries and mercenary forces that achieve unsung and decisive victories in worldly battles. It is evident that the effect of a private "murder squad" is and becoming the future in personal and national defenses. As we speak there are several PMC's in the middle east directly and in-directly assisting the United States Army in the renovation of Iraq. But the danger of this revolution in defense is the influence of "dead presidents" and not the one in office. In 50cent terms, "The power of a dollar". This will eventually cause the conflict of who is wi…

Bush and Kerry are sitting in a first grade classroom. The teacher asks, "Children, what is 2+2?" Both answer 5. The teacher says, "You are both wrong, 2+2 equals 4, not 5." John Kerry changes his position on the question and his new answer is 4. George Bush, on the other hand, continues to deny that the answer is 4 and holds by his conclusion that the answer is 5, citing his "evidence". This is the difference between the two: John Kerry will change his opinion to fit the facts. George Bush will change the facts to fit his opinion. Kerry in '04.

Bin Laden: Al Qaeda motivated to strike U.S. again Bush, Kerry denounce new videotaped message Friday, October 29, 2004 Posted: 9:28 PM EDT (0128 GMT) (CNN) -- Osama bin Laden delivered a new videotaped message in which he told Americans their security does not depend on the president they elect, but on U.S. policy. And he said al Qaeda remains motivated to strike the U.S. again. "Although we are ushering the fourth year after 9/11, Bush is still exercising confusion and misleading you and not telling you the true reason. Therefore, the motivations are still there for what happened to be repeated," bin Laden said. It marked the first videotaped messag…

President George W. Bush and Senator John F. Kerry are related, according to Great Britain's Guardian Unlimited and the December issue of Family Tree Magazine. The two presidential candidates share at least eight common ancestors, making them very distant cousins, says Family Tree. Emphasis on the word distant: The two are ninth cousins, twice removed, Massachusetts genealogist Gary Boyd Roberts told the Guardian Unlimited.

Evidently, every event has a cause and everything that happens is the inevitable result of what has already transpired. Apparently, nothing happens by chance; nothing happens randomly; nothing happens freely. It would seem that everything is determined to happen precisely as it does down to the smallest detail. When the bridge buckles under the excessive load, it bends, bows and breaks necessarily, inevitably and inexorably. Given the massive weight on the span, the bridge simply had to give; it had no choice. But what of ourselves? We are part of nature and our behavior involves the movement of our bodies.

Thought it was interesting. They're saying they existed "at least 95,000 to 13,000 years ago" and the remains were around 18,000 y/o. They were about bout half our size, with heads about the size of a grapefruit. Found in caves on an island off of Australia. Believed to have co-existed with us in the same time period. "They weighed around 25 kilograms and had a brain smaller than most chimpanzees," Professor Morwood said. "Even so, they used fire and made sophisticated stone tools. Despite tiny brains, these little humans almost certainly had language." "We now have the remains of at least seven hobbit-sized individuals at the cave site so the skeleton cannot be…
