We live in America, not . . .

Amurkin. Yep that's how John McCain prounounces it, and Bush, and a whole lot of other old people> Well, old people should know that a "murkin" is a vaginal whig that came about around the turn of the 19th century to combat against crabs and other kinds of nasty venereal diseases that like to use pubic hair as a nifty little environment for a whole lot of itching and uncomfortable-ness. So, yeah do we live in a Amurkin; I hope not, for one, I would sure hate to live by a stinking cum dumpster for sailors. Do we live in America; yeah technically - we live in North America, but in addition there is a Central America, and South America. So next time someone asks you where you live (yeah I know it never happens) tell them you live in North America and guage the reaction you get, most poeple don't get it. We live in the United States of America, or North America to be more general, or Hell if John McCain and his pussy whig come to the oval office.

Sarah Palin? Who is this woman. . .

Seriously, who the fuck is Sarah Palin? Surely she's not the political celebrity that Hillary Clinton is; so why is it that the media is covering her selection as John McCain's VP like Tibet was just given its freedom from the "don't spit in public during the olympics" red capitalist menace that is China. And, also why is the media pretending that somehow white democratic women are moving away from the Obama/Biden ticket to go vote for the new McCain/Palin ticket because the addition of Palin is what they've been waiting for. If any democrats have declared thier allegence to the Republican ticket because of the addition of Palin then surely they weren't democrats in the first place. Palin is a strict conservative with leanings toward facism. First she has hardly no history of public service in a populace state, and no the PTA does not count. She also doesn't support choice of abortion, even when rape or incest is concerned. And, she thinks that global warming is not man made and shouldn't be made an issue in politics (See: drill, drill, drill). Her selection as governor of Alaska was a stunt by the corporate powers that be up in Alaska because they needed a - good looking, appealing, maleable - puppet in the top seat to control and influence; not to unlike what McCain's camp is using her for. Also this will come out later, but when the topic of international relations comes up, it will be revealed that Palin has hardly been out of Alaska and only in 2007 got her passport but as of now it is unclear if she's ever been out of the country. Compared with the workhorse--highly traveled and foreign pollitically experienced--Biden there is no comparison. Yet, it would appear that the media is lowering the bar of comparisons to things such as which candidate knows how to field dress a moose, be succesful at ice fishing, or drive a snowmobile. Alaskan politics has always been just that--Alaskan politics--and if Palin is taken seriously as a candidate for Vice President of the United States then maybe we should start electing politicians to office from other US territories like Guam, American Samoa, and the Virgin Islands; throw them right into office in the lower 48 and expect them to know what Americans in those states expect and need. I guess its a good thing that the VP spot has little to no power that comes with the job (See: Cheney's exception), and that this writer is pretty sure that when debates start happening Palin will stop being the silent candidate with that "wholesome" story, and start showing American voters where she really stands--and for that matter has never set foot. Until then McCain will keep telling the story about how he was tortured during the Veitnam war. Palin will keep telling that "holes in it" story about her vanquishing corruption in Alaska, and Obama and Biden will continue to play it straight until thier flawed opponents reveal thier true selves as puppets for corporate money, the GOP, the neo-cons and whomever else is scared of a changing US. Keep watching and keep testing your candidates, news sources, pundits, family, friends, and piers just to make sure they are all paying attention and not just repeating the same PR release that dribbles down from the most corrupt faucets in the country; and yes even Alaska.

This is something I know . . .

THE WORLD WILL BE DIFFERENT FOUR YEARS FROM NOW! This is one thing I know; what I don't know is which way the pendulum will swing. If things go the way I want them too, Barack Obama will be our president and things will move more to the left then they have in the history of our country. Things we have to look forward to include: Health care for everyone, a better standing in a greatly degraded worldview, a transparent - accountable governing body that fears the poeple - not people that fear thier government; and in general a change from the nightmare that has been the last eight years. Things we have to fear: John McCain! And, as we watch the upcoming presidential race from our computer screens and televisions, a little bit of action from all of us who care could not hurt a bit. I know most of you live in Washington - a state that will surely "go Obama" - but maybe its time that we do more to influence the people, counties, and states that wont "go Obama." This might be the last real chance to turn the history of our country. I can not express enough how things will go from bad to worse if we elect another "war mongering conservative" to the White House. The USA will continue to be a target by global radicals and "terrorists," Canadians who travel will still feel it important to put thier flag on thier backpacks so as not to be confused with Americans, and we will not take the torch and become a leader in the upcoming "green revolution." This is our destiny and if you can't see it, your not paying attention - to both history, and the future - becuase this is the only direction the world can go right now. So as we stare at TV screens, with laptops on our laps, checking cellphones for text messages; WAKE UP! We have become dissconnected from the rest of humanity and our reality in in this consumer society is that of prisoners with manufactured higs and lows that dependant on silly things like, gas prices, stimulus checks, digital TV conversions, home prices, technology trends, student loans, and an endless list of other things that should not be influencing happiness. Look to your families, loved ones, and the rest of the rewarding human connections that should be the only source of happiness. I beg you, all of you, anyone that will listen, anyone that has read this far to not let John McCain be elected in November; I swear on everything I know and hold sacred that this is a turning point for the United States and the world; and if we don't take this seriously now, we might not have another chance!
