The amount of intelligence in this world is slipping

1) Last night, a kid in a warewolf mask refused to say "Trick or Treat" because "That's old stuff!" SERIOUSLY!?! You can't say 3 frickin' words! I wanted to slap the little bugger with my pool cue at that very moment.

2) I saw this "Bumper Sticker" on facebook...
SERIOUSLY!?!  At this point I'm in no way opposed to saying that Whitney Wallace and 35 others are either racists or complete dumbasses.  He said he'd stand with the Muslims NOT THE TERRORISTS!  Muslims aren't terrorists, and if you think so you're an idiot, plain and simple.  I'm sorry about the language, but get out of your narrow mindset for one minute and you'll find that there's nothing wrong with "Muslims"  the reason he has to stand with the Muslims is because of morons like Whitney Wallace.

3)

This one speaks for itself.  But really, they should have stopped at Saw V but it would have been better to leave it at III.

I have 3 more days of political action in which it matters, and I'm going to use it.  Expect one awesome video once the results are out.  That's all I can say, I can't really go to one sided within Totally Illogical Films, seeing as a fourth of our team is very heavily conservative.  But regardless the election results we've got something coming with 2 endings for each situation.

He's my favorite Obama, minus the real one.  He's also going to be on Chuck on Nov. 3rd

I'd also like to show off our own candidate from Totally Illogical Films for those who haven't heard about it...

Hoo Rah!

One of those instances...

Where Religion just PISSES me off...

DAVENPORT, Iowa (CNN) – A minister delivering the invocation at John McCain’s rally in Davenport, Iowa Saturday told the crowd non-Christian religions around the world were praying for Barack Obama to win the U.S. presidential election.

“There are millions of people around this world praying to their god—whether it’s Hindu, Buddha, Allah—that his opponent wins, for a variety of reasons. And Lord, I pray that you will guard your own reputation, because they’re going to think that their God is bigger than you, if that happens,” said Arnold Conrad, the former pastor of Grace Evangelical Free Church in Davenport.

The remark was made before McCain arrived at the rally but the Republican nominee's campaign quickly put out a statement distancing itself from the remarks.

“While we understand the important role that faith plays in informing the votes of Iowans, questions about the religious background of the candidates only serve to distract from the real questions in this race about Barack Obama's judgment, policies and readiness to lead as commander in chief,” said McCain campaign spokesperson Wendy Riemann.

This incident comes a day after a Minnesota voter asked Senator McCain if Barack Obama was an Arab at a town hall in Lakeville, Minnesota and just three days after Lehigh GOP County Chairman Bill Platt made a speech at a McCain rally in Pennsylvania where he refered to the Democrat nominee for president as Barack Hussein Obama.

And it's not so much that it's against Obama, but the narrow minded BULLS!!T behind it.  God forbid we let other people practice their religion.  GUESS WHAT!  For all you know those Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, hell even atheists are JUST AS RIGHT as you THINK you are.  The fact is there's NO WAY to prove you're right, I'm a Christian, but why the hell do you want to put down other religions, because frankly for all you know they could be right, and you could be the one going to hell.  So think about that before you begin to look down upon inferior religions.  Because I swear to god, if my pastors ever speak out against Obama in a service I'll strait up leave and find a new church.  Keep religion and politics separate, instill the values, but there are HUNDREDS of different beliefs, don't narrow yourselves down to one, and keep things acceptable for everyone.  Even though I am a "Christian" I'm pretty open to other beliefs, I've read a book by the Dali Llama, It's not like that's my excuse, but I'd sooner join in another religion than shut it out.

I'm glad I could vent that.

Also, I went to Homecoming tonight and had a good time, but now I need sleep.  I have work in the morning.

HEY ADULTS (and myself)

Warning, language...


This also kick started a pretty sweet idea in my head hopefully it will come to play very soon.

Yoyoyo

Cheech and Chong was perhaps the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. My face was literally sore from laughing. I'll write more about that and post pics on the Totally Illogical Films blog later.

The main thing I'm writing to post, I found on Anita Thompson's (Hunter S. Thompson's widow) blog. And to say the least I pretty much agree with all of it, so please read the below, and perhaps that will sum up my feelings politically over the past few weeks.

This is Your Nation on White Privilege

By Tim Wise

For those who still can’t grasp the concept of white privilege, or who are constantly looking for some easy-to-understand examples of it, perhaps this list will help.

White privilege is when you can get pregnant at seventeen like Bristol Palin and everyone is quick to insist that your life and that of your family is a personal matter, and that no one has a right to judge you or your parents, because “every family has challenges,” even as black and Latino families with similar “challenges” are regularly typified as irresponsible, pathological and arbiters of social decay.

White privilege is when you can call yourself a “fuckin’ redneck,” like Bristol Palin’s boyfriend does, and talk about how if anyone messes with you, you'll “kick their fuckin' ass,” and talk about how you like to “shoot shit” for fun, and still be viewed as a responsible, all-American boy (and a great son-in-law to be) rather than a thug.

White privilege is when you can attend four different colleges in six years like Sarah Palin did (one of which you basically failed out of, then returned to after making up some coursework at a community college), and no one questions your intelligence or commitment to achievement, whereas a person of color who did this would be viewed as unfit for college, and probably someone who only got in in the first place because of affirmative action.

White privilege is when you can claim that being mayor of a town smaller than most medium-sized colleges, and then Governor of a state with about the same number of people as the lower fifth of the island of Manhattan, makes you ready to potentially be president, and people don’t all piss on themselves with laughter, while being a black U.S. Senator, two-term state Senator, and constitutional law scholar, means you’re “untested.”


White privilege is being able to say that you support the words “under God” in the pledge of allegiance because “if it was good enough for the founding fathers, it’s good enough for me,” and not be immediately disqualified from holding office--since, after all, the pledge was written in the late 1800s and the “under God” part wasn’t added until the 1950s--while believing that reading accused criminals and terrorists their rights (because, ya know, the Constitution, which you used to teach at a prestigious law school requires it), is a dangerous and silly idea only supported by mushy liberals.


White privilege is being able to be a gun enthusiast and not make people immediately scared of you.


White privilege is being able to have a husband who was a member of an extremist political party that wants your state to secede from the Union, and whose motto was “Alaska first,” and no one questions your patriotism or that of your family, while if you're black and your spouse merely fails to come to a 9/11 memorial so she can be home with her kids on the first day of school, people immediately think she’s being disrespectful.


White privilege is being able to make fun of community organizers and the work they do--like, among other things, fight for the right of women to vote, or for civil rights, or the 8-hour workday, or an end to child labor--and people think you’re being pithy and tough, but if you merely question the experience of a small town mayor and 18-month governor with no foreign policy expertise beyond a class she took in college--you’re somehow being mean, or even sexist.


White privilege is being able to convince white women who don’t even agree with you on any substantive issue to vote for you and your running mate anyway, because all of a sudden your presence on the ticket has inspired confidence in these same white women, and made them give your party a “second look.”


White privilege is being able to fire people who didn’t support your political campaigns and not be accused of abusing your power or being a typical politician who engages in favoritism, while being black and merely knowing some folks from the old-line political machines in Chicago means you must be corrupt.


White privilege is being able to attend churches over the years whose pastors say that people who voted for John Kerry or merely criticize George W. Bush are going to hell, and that the U.S. is an explicitly Christian nation and the job of Christians is to bring Christian theological principles into government, and who bring in speakers who say the conflict in the Middle East is God’s punishment on Jews for rejecting Jesus, and everyone can still think you’re just a good church-going Christian, but if you’re black and friends with a black pastor who has noted (as have Colin Powell and the U.S. Department of Defense) that terrorist attacks are often the result of U.S. foreign policy and who talks about the history of racism and its effect on black people, you’re an extremist who probably hates America.


White privilege is not knowing what the Bush Doctrine is when asked by a reporter, and then people get angry at the reporter for asking you such a “trick question,” while being black and merely refusing to give one-word answers to the queries of Bill O’Reilly means you’re dodging the question, or trying to seem overly intellectual and nuanced.


White privilege is being able to claim your experience as a POW has anything at all to do with your fitness for president, while being black and experiencing racism is, as Sarah Palin has referred to it a “light” burden.


And finally, white privilege is the only thing that could possibly allow someone to become president when he has voted with George W. Bush 90 percent of the time, even as unemployment is skyrocketing, people are losing their homes, inflation is rising, and the U.S. is increasingly isolated from world opinion, just because white voters aren’t sure about that whole “change” thing. Ya know, it’s just too vague and ill-defined, unlike, say, four more years of the same, which is very concrete and certain…


White privilege is, in short, the problem.

ALSO! I'm JAMES KELLER in the upcoming LHS production of The Miracle Worker (more info after Thursday's first rehearsal.

WTF?

Ok, I could understand this from The Onion, but it's from freakin' CNN!!!  Seriously, is the only bad thing you can figure out about Obama is that he has a cold?  Well, compared to McCain continuing years of Governor Bush's flawed policies a cold is more than welcome.  If anything, this only proves that Obama is a sweet as those Panda bears at the National Zoo.  So a special thanks to CNN for trying to screw this country over all because of a cold.

NC has been Barracked.

Obama has taken North Carolina and in my opinion kind of won IN, Hillary can claim all the victory she wants, but she only beat him by 2%, and frankly Obama already has her beat everywhere else. But really this is just a lead in for me to post an Onion Story...

Reverend Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr., the former pastor of presidential candidate Barack Obama, has been blasted for controversial statements he made to his congregation. What are some of the remarks he's under fire for?

"Elvis is not dead and will make a reappearance in order to steal rap music from black people."

"Hurricane Katrina was created in a Pentagon weather laboratory."

"The current administration is fallible."

"Justin Guarini was voted into the American Idol finale for being part white, but was then voted off for being part black."

"Nobody ever gets tired of eating bologna, am I right?"

"God loves each and every one of us."

"Stanley Kubrick could have done a better job casting The Shining."

"Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't feel like black people are always treated as equals to whites."

It's okay Mr. Wright, sometimes I hate those crackahs just as much as you do (just not as frequently).

Today's The day!

Voting day, Ron Paul had mine, and according to the yard signs outside of Twin Ridge, Ron Paul and Obama were the only candidates for president. Which would make a tough choice, had they both been on the same team. Anyway why don't you take in a new message from Ron Paul...

I'd march with Ron Paul 100%, infact I'd cut school to do so if necessary.

In other news, The Writers are voting today. On what you ask. Well to decide on whether or not to accept the newest contract put forth by the AMPTP, this could be the day that decides the future of the next few months. Either the strike ends tomorrow, OR they refuse the contract and then there's a month or so of tension between the two groups. We'll just have to wait and see.

The Man for the job...

Now I know Colbert makes Ron Paul look crazy, but look deeper into it, he's pointing out just how right Ron Paul is on the war issue, and the other republican candidates are too blind and too ignorant to break out of their fantasy world where the Iraq war is justified.

-that is all for today-

Colbert 08

I'm sure I mentioned this before but for constant coverage of the Colberts presidential run head over here:
http://colbert2008.blogspot.com/

I heart Andy Samberg's Digital Shorts:

Mac OS X Leopard, and stuffs.

So Apples coming out with Mac OS X Leopard. And I'm thinking come on Apple, I haven't even been able to set up the internet on my Mac. So while I'm deffinatly considering buying my family a new router, you decide to put out some whole new update to the Mac software, that costs $129!?! While a router would cost around $90. Not to mention there are some pretty sweet games comming out this fall. ARGG!!! Although Smash Bros did get puched back so that's one less thing to worry about.

Speaking of things costing money, I am working extra this week so that should help some. I work 4-9 on Tuesday, I work 4-9 tonight, I'm covering for Danniel tomorow so she can go to Homecomming (because I'm such a gentleman), and I work from 8-4 Saturday Morning because I'm going to See Colin Mocherie and Brad Sherwood that night. What a crazy week.

To add onto the crazyness, I have Lines to memorize, The entire novel "Frankenstien" to read and write an essay about before Halloween, and well I have no idea what else, but it's deffinatly there.

NEW OFFICE, EARL AND, 30 ROCK TONIGHT!!! NEW SCRUBS NEXT WEEK!!! But the next 2 SNLs are reruns from this season, BooHoo.:(

Oh Stephen Colbert's running for president, and you all better vote for him, or America may very well be screwed come 09, he's pretty much the ONLY man for the job. And when I say that don't point to Hillary Clinton, because don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with a woman president, just please, a woman who isn't her.

Well I think that's a sufficiant blog for today.
