OMG! The Canadiens have decided not to be part of the U.S. anti-missile system. What’s wrong with them, eh?! Don’t they know that Fiji, Antarctica, and the Outer Hebrides could be raining nukes down on us at any second? We have to prepare! After all, why shouldn’t we spend $200 billion+ on a system that:

1. makes no sense
2. doesn’t work and can statistically never fully work (sure, so you knock down 3 out of every 4…I guess it’s just tough cookies for Houston)
3. is so anachronistic in thinking as to be laughable, if it weren’t so damn scary.

Where is the voice of reason in this country? Oh, I forgot. It was silenced under the New Nazi Patriot Act…

Can one who truly desires to serve the public become a politician, or can one only be elected if said person has a strong predisposition towards self-aggrandizement?

This, I think, is the main flaw with our system (and perhaps most systems) of government. It seems that you are almost required to be a shameless self-promoter in order to be elected. But that is not a trait I want in my elected official. I want a person who puts her constituency ahead of her own personal desires for fame/fortune/re-election/what-have-you. A person that truly wants to make things better for people. Is that too much to ask?

It’s just incredible that a single moron can bring an entire planet to the edge of ruin. And it’s almost as incredible that 60,608,582 people can be so stupid as to hasten the world to the brink of destruction by voting for this clown. That’s old news, but it’s just eating away at me.

It’s like a re-run of WWII. Demented sociopath uses racism and heavily-edited bubblegum “Christianity” in conjunction with growing economic crisis to engender fear, erode civil liberties and build military junta to control nation and eventually Die Welt.

I keep hoping I’m Dorothy and that I’ll soon wake to find Scarecrow leaning in the window, but I don’t think it’s gonna happen. We’ve got to band together to drive this idiot back to Texas (or preferably prison, where he can have his rights violated along with all the minorities, illegal detainees, Afghanis, and those without rights under the Geneva Convention, thank you very little Unterführer Alberto Gonzales). It’s time the American public wakes up and really sees what’s going on. And please don’t snap off something like, “Liberal $&*^!” I don’t think you can view the facts objectively and argue.

• Wildly spiraling deficit
• Unnecessary, illegal war
• Erosion of rights
• Persecution of homosexuals
• Runaway nepotism & cronyism
• Abandonment of middle and lower-class, children, minorities, and have-nots
• Complete disregard for Earth’s climate and future

Lest this seem like a left-wing rant list, I’ll come back and add links to support my premise. Although I can’t believe anyone with an open mind can fail to see the slippery slope down which we’re sliding.

All right, enough already. I’ll try and pen something happier or at least offbeat next time. I’m not all doom and gloom. Well, not all the time…
