I want a better job and I would like my soul back *glares at Shang Tsung*

You guys suck. I would love to get into a free NFL game just to watch the Giants wreck the Vikings.

That is what happens when you sign Brett Favre onto your team.

In Soviet Russia, you can get radiation poisoning for free?

I'll go on record and say it: with Wikileaks, I see it as being a website that is doing what our government is not: being more open about what goes on behind the scenes.

Apparently they do. I'm waiting to see if the Supreme Court puts a stop to them. Sadly that won't be until next year though.

I don't see this happening. Just look at the planned "opt out" protests at airports nationwide from last Wednesday. That went nowhere. Every time people get to the boiling point over a current and relevent affair, they are automatically distracted by something stupid like the results of the latest "reality tv" game show. It proves how immensely stupid people are. And with Sarah Palin and her ilk all too happy to make a grab at power when nobody is paying attention. It is absolutely mystifying to me as to how so many people can be stupid enough to not notice that. Then again, look what happened when Bush bought his way into the Presidency TWICE. Nobody hollered about that! But yeah when a black man is DEMOCRATICALLY elected to the Presidency, people everywhere flip out. Don't you just love democracy?

Once again, Sarah Palin.

Sadly though, the nation as a whole DID ask for more protection from the "terrorists"...

+ 25 on the first sentence. On the second sentence regarding the Democrats, I will say this: they're trying to dig us out of the hole, but certain idiots, namely the Republicans, keep blocking their efforts, because they'd rather have another Gilded Age where greed and corporate abuse ran rampant. Simply put, Republicans care for nothing more then money.

Typical attack on "Obamacare", a term mainly employed by those who believe in the vile that Fox News spewed forth. Technically, you can opt out of this new health care program his legislation created if you make a certain amount of money each year. For the ultra rich, it's mandatory. I see it as a step towards universal health care, which this country needs. What we don't need is private corporations determining who gets to live or die.

Exactly, phee. And the sad part about it is that the Republican party, at least historically, used to be more open with regard to racial issues. And it was for the small guys too.

Wonderful, I've gotten myself heated over yet another political debate. This happens way too much.

It's not that hard to turn what starts out as a PAC into a presidential campaign.

Gaf, she's proven her inability to even handle this country's affairs simply from the countless ridiculous ideas she proposes. Ever watch her in an interview? That's more than enough to tell me everything I need to know. Body language, whether we like it or not, says a lot about a person. And how is Obama an inexperienced, ineffective egotistical dolt who happens to "dislike" the Bill of Rights and the Constitution? He was left with a mess that 8 years of the highly corrupt and deceitful Bush Administration, in all honesty, created. Even Reagan pales in comparison to the mess that unfolded under "W". For one, with his administrator, he took no actions whatsoever to hold corporations accountable under our laws. Laws that were crafted with the idea, the intention really, to put an end to the very things that led our country into the Depression years. He launched an illegal and unnecessary invasion and occupation of a sovereign country, while deliberately lying to the American public and Congress that this country in question had "weapons of mass destruction". Bull. I find it extremely funny that immediately after this country was illegally invaded and unnecessarily occupied, huge multination corporations such as Kellogg and Halliburton (all of which are heavily involved in the oil industry) set up shop within it. Of course, I'm referring to the Iraq "War". And going forward from there...people bitch about Obama taking 20 some days for vacation over the course of nearly two years is nothing compared to what W did within his first few months in office. Really, almost 65 days just to screw around on his ranch? And what about all of that overt right wing Christian propaganda and talk originating from within the White House and the Pentagon? "God told me to invade this country, so I did". "This is a war against Islam?" The second quote came from a man who was a general under Bush's thumb, for god's sake! And how about that gigantic bailout of all of his banking buddies on Wall Street? They make billions of dollars a year, lose a small fraction of it, and then go crying because they want to make up for that small loss? No. As far as "disliking" the Constitution and Bill of Rights? I disagree, sir. Hotly disagree. Nobody clearly disliked the Bill of Rights or the Constitution more than W and his criminal cronies. With the passage of the Patriot Act, that shredded the majority of our rights to free speech and free press more than any single act in this country's 231 year history. Arresting "terror suspects" and holding them indefinitely while subjecting them to torture and not even so much as charging them with a crime? That violates the 8th Amendment, the 5th Amendment, and the 6th Amendment, considering these men are repeatedly denied access to legal representation, something which a lot of other foreign nationals within our country are still entitled to even if they're not US citizens (funny how persons of arab lineage or other nationalities from the Middle East are denied all of that). Or how about the Valerie Plame case? Wasn't that a stab at free speech with respect to her husband calling out W on everything he said? As far as I'm concerned, and know, Obama, by nature, is left with a country in tatters. I think he's tried doing everything as best as he can within the confines of the Constitution (remember, he was a constitutional law professor not even a decade or so ago), and at least isn't ripping too many people apart over this whole Wikileaks debacle.

I will digress a bit more: just look at her website, which conveniently is titled "SarahPAC". http://www.sarahpac.com/ I'll probably catch hell for posting it, but I am absolutely terrified at the thought of this woman even getting near the Presidency. I'll call it as I see it - she and her ilk represent a threat to whatever Constitutional rights we still actually have in the post 9/11 era. Just look at her Facebook page - every time she complains of something, the exact response you see from her supporters is nothing but hate. Hatred towards the GLBT community, hatred of Muslims (or anyone who's not Christian for that matter), hatred of left leaning liberals, hatred of actual progressive individuals or groups, hatred towards anything, really. This woman is the tip of the iceberg. If people think President Andrew Johnson, Woodrow Wilson and Warren Harding (a President who reportedly held KKK ceremonies and meetings in the White House) were destructive, they should seriously contemplate what this woman is capable of. Biblical theocracy anyone?

Did they actually hold the conference this time or cancel it?

Good one, Phee!

And on another thought, I am absolutely sick of people gushing over everything Sarah Palin has to say with respect to current affairs. She's already proved how uninformed she is of current affairs, particularly in our country's foreign policy, our economic situation, the "war on terror", and countless other issues I could name. I find it incredible that people would actually CONSIDER voting for this woman in a presidential election. If she ever was to theoretically get elected to that office, all hell would truly break loose. For some reason, I don't see Obama lasting beyond 2012 given how pissed Palin's racist neoconservative and "anti-big government" supporters are...at least when it comes down to the fact that a smart African-American occupies the White House.

That's going to be difficult to get people in this country to stop paying more attention to whoever the latest American Idol is, who won "Dancing With The Stars" (the term stars is questionable, given most of their picks on there are B, C or D list celebrities), or anything else that the media in this country touts as "news worthy". Come on, who gives a rat's ass about Brad Pitt's newest girlfriend? I'm absolutely sick of some of the comments over Wikileaks releasing all of these "diplomatic" cables too. For instance, former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania openly called for those involved with Wikileaks to be tried for treason and executed. Really? I thought we had laws protecting the whistleblowers involved with Wikileaks? The exact above sentiments as stated by Mr. Santorum have been echoed by more congressmen then I can count as well.

I necessarily wouldn't say it's wrong or a danger to world peace. Wikileaks has targeted other countries and multinational corporations as well. With Assange's current dilemma over the alleged "rape" charges he's wanted for in Sweden, I'm compelled to believe that this is nothing more then a concerted effort by Western leaders to destroy his credibility. What his creation, Wikileaks, does is shed more light on our government's true actions, as it does the same for other nations worldwide and multinational public corporations. It's an attempt to hold each and every nation in question accountable for it's illegal actions. The same can be argued for countless companies which also engage in unethical and illegal things. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing what will be outlined in the release of all of these internal documents by Bank of America soon.

Kat, I commend you for working with individuals like that woman. It always breaks my heart to see so many homeless families on the streets who have no way out. This is an immense problem I've seen here in Colorado since I moved here. Are you still involved with that line of work?

I recently Skyline and hated it. I also watched Rampo Noir recently.
