At Church

Im at church playin the part of DJ.

Things are going well, its a party, lots of food and drink and of course, thanks to yours truly, lots of loud music.

The new year is approaching...Bush is the president, hundreds of thousands of people are dead in Asia, and there is little hope that things are getting brighter.

As my last entry for 2004 I can only say that this is the truth behind a liberal reality:

We are in a never-ending battle against oppression, tyranny, and above all else the forces of this nation and this earth that will try to stop our calls for advocacy and liberty for all and truly mean it. The future is in the hands of the voters of this nation and it will be up to those of us inthe know about such issues and aware of the problems to show the voters what is really happening to their nation.

So get up america, get up and get ready. The Liberal Nation is coming and when it gets here there will not be any turning back, this is no longer a game. This is War. War for the people and the coming of a peaceful revolution that will end he reign of the Right and issue in the era of the liberal.

So get out and get going, the time is now and the place is here.

Happy New Year and God Bless this nation, because we of all countries are going to need it.

P.S. Congratulations Viktor, I knew you could do it.

See you next year.

Great Day

Well...it finally came, my brand-new Apple iBook G4. yay.

And to ceebrate I went out and bought two DVD's: Anchorman and Napoleon Dynamite.

Back to reality:

I just read in an abc news article that the death tole in the Sumatra Quake has risen to over 52,ooo. that is staggering. whats more, the Earth actually obled on its axis due to the quake, i.e. all the freaky weather we have been experiencing these past few days. Also, interestingly enough, the day has been shortened by about 3 microseconds which equates to about one millionth of a second. But its not all bad news. the United States now has the opputrunity to look good to an international community that has viewed the US as something of cavalier if not just outlandish. So how is the US helping? well...we gave $89 billion to fight in Iraq "smoke 'e, out" as W likes to say, so one would think that international relief aid that would stabilize this particular region would be at least, say, a billion dollars. What do we offer? 515 million. well. thats terriffic. a whole $15 million to help a GROUP OF NATIONS that is in what may very well be one of the most devestating natural disaste in the history of civiliation. the UN even had the gall to say to its general assembly that the US was being 'stingy" of course once the press secretary of the UN discovered that stingy is a bad thing he quickly retracted his statement and was praising the assistance of the US. Colin Powell said today that there would be more aid, he just cant say how much at this poin? why? is it another matter of national security? oh well. sucks to be in the indian region at the moment and apparently thats the thinking of the bush white house.

Oh well.

the world still turns (barely)

im off to read the news and grab some pizza ,keep fighting!

Boring

I was so bored today...nothing exciting happening at home, but there has been a lot of news to cover so lets get started:

1. Massive 9.0 Earthquake shakes the entire planet. Major storms and squalls have been reported all over the world and the quake's center moved an island over 100 feet. Death tolls are stated to be in the 20,000 range. Those who are homeless as a result of the quake range in the range of over 1 million people. The number of American deaths, since thats all that Fox news would give since we here in america dont really care about other nationalities, 8 and counting. As more information comes available, specifcally what the US plans to do to help these poor nations it will be posted.

2. Donald Rumsfeld had some interesting things to say while in Iraq. The most notable comment was the following, ""I think all of us have a sense if we imagine the kind of world we would face if the people who bombed the mess hall in Mosul, or the people who did the bombing in Spain, or the people who attacked the United States in New York, shot down the plane over Pennsylvania and attacked the Pentagon, the people who cut off peoples' heads on television to intimidate, to frighten – indeed the word 'terrorized' is just that. Its purpose is to terrorize, to alter behavior, to make people be something other than that which they want to be."

strange indeed.

3. Yushchenko won! The transportation ministry for Ukraine was found dead today of a Gunshot wound, hmmm, thats odd. Yanukovich is saying that he will challenge the results, note to Yanukovich Gore tried it and it didnt work so good luch in Ukraine.

4. Speaking of former communist nations the URF or United Russian Federation (Russia) has announce that they will be participating in major war game exercises with China in an unprecedented alliance. Well. Thats amusing. Nothing like a near-superpower and Russia hanging around together playing war games. Prediction: US needs to get its butt in gear and get out of Iraq as China and Russia? become the newest threats, and they have nuclear weapons. Get out the bomb shelters and ration cards kids the Cold war's beating the old drum and its gettin louder!

Well thats it for today, im off to find my old Air-Raid siren to make sure its ready for the first volley. настолько длиной. Thats Russian, first to translate gets a prize.

Jesus was a Liberal

STOP

I can no longer stand to hear the following phrase:

"I am a insert any christian denomination here therefore I voted republican!"

shut-up

As a Christian I believe firmly in Christ's teachings, social justice, peace, love, compassion (thats a big word for caring about people), and most of all forgiveness.

Who's taxes would Jesus have cut given the chance?

Who would Christ select to have healthcare?
(hint: this is a trick question, the answer is EVERYONE)

I dont know why this is today's liberal message, but it is.

If you want to vote republcan and you can still drag yourself to church, great...but dont put that on those of us who live out our, in the words of Mr. Bush, "Faith Values"

gloria in excelsis deo: the last image of Christmas I hope people can take...its latin and its a great phrase.

Good night, Glory to God in the Highest

p.s. The good Viktor Yushchenko is ahead in the polls...thanks for allowing at least one election to go well this year.

Merry Christmas to all

President Bush this morning gave his weekly radio address, seeing as i am in the mood to listen to the views of others i decided to listen...until I heard him utter the following statement:

"Christmas time reminds each of us that we have a duty to our fellow citizens, that we are called to love our neighbor just as we would like to be loved ourselves. By volunteering our time and talents where they are needed most, we help heal the sick, comfort those who suffer, and bring hope to those who despair, one heart and one soul at a time. "

Wow

Too bad the most powerful man in the United States couldnt afford to offer services like free healthcare, child daycare, and robust social security to those in need, our neighboors.

Oh well, looks like once again POTUS has the will to say and the nerve to stand back.

Merry Christmas Mr. Bush, I'll make sure to tell the families I helped this season that you really do care with kind words on the radio while hard-working and honest americans are out there making a real difference. It makes me warm with christmas cheer knowing that you are using your power to back up your oh-so-touching words.

Merry Christmas America...Merry Christmas indeed

Monday

I just did a really nice and kinda long post, so im not in the mood to rewrite it but here it goes:

Today I didnt do much. I spent a good deal of my time at home collecting loose change around the house in search of enough money to fill my little jar.

Yes, a jar, yes I said hours.

I havent had a real day off from life in a long time so it was nice to kick back and hunt for treaure.

The one highlight of my day was watching a two-hour debate between Viktor Yanukovich and Viktor Yushchenko. They are candidates for President in the Ukraine. I know it sounds dorky but this is a critical race that has drawn a lot of attention in the media and brings back fond memories of the Cold War era of poisoning and real fights for democracy.

The debate was really good: Yanukovich spoke Russian for the most part (He is supported primarliy by the South and East portions of Ukraine that are Russian speaking and Pro-Russia) while Yushchenko spoke Ukrainian (His support is from the nationalist North and West, these sections also support the West such as the EU and USA). The debate covered a variety of issues but was dominated by discussion of fraud in the run-off and the problems that face the current President (Yanukovich). The debate was won by Yushchenko and I was really impressed with their candor and willingness to go anywhere and drag up any issue. Their personal attacks and comments about their qualifications make the Swifties look like nuns.

I hope the progressive, Pro-West Yuschenko wins the race. He is the projected winner and he, in my humble opinion, is the best chance to bring a former soviet-bloc nation into the Western fold with the hopes of more open trade with Europe and distancing themselves from Russia and the old times in general.

Take notes, there will be a quiz...

Alright thats your history lesson for today, see you all later

What a day

Today was great.

Metropolitan ministries this morning/afternoon. Cleaning at the house later and then a trip to Wal-Mart this evening to buy stuff for the needy families im going to visit this week.

This week is going to be great, especially if donny gets a pink-slip for xmas. That would make my day/month/year. For once I, America's #1 Democrat, agree with the Republicans in Congress: Give Rummy the boot!

So long...

The End is Near (well the first half)

So yeah...exams suck...a lot. But thats ok. The union is on hold so that everyone can focus on exams and get through the education we want to protect.

I went to a hockey game last night. As sad as it was that the team not only lost but that everyone there wanted the lightning and we all know that its just not happenin right now.

Life isnt half bad, just a lot to do and not a lot of time to do it in. Oh well more is to come.

ITGS galore

Well much has been happening. I, in conjunction with other students at KHS, have founded Students Fighting to Protect Education (SFPE). It is a student union that will fight to protect the interests of students concerning academics and student well being. Our first two causes will be the protection of Exam Exemption status for any High school student with the attendance regulations once held. In addition we will be fighting to regain the right to sign out by phone and not in person.

*****If you are interested in joining the union please leave a note or IM me or email or call or whatever just let me know ASAP*****

Membership is free and you will recieve a member card when you join.

So much going on

So physics day was cool, lots of fun and random nerd jokes.

A trip to washington in my future? I dunno, I can only hope. Other than that there isnt much going on, school sucks and the weather sucks and politics suck and thats about it.
