Who's on First?

Interestingly enough, both political parties seem to be in the odd position of being lukewarm about the candidate leading their respective fields. On the one hand, Rudy Giuliani is leading the polls among Republican candidates, but many conservatives have doubts as to just how conservative he is. Hillary Clinton is leading the polls among Democratic candidates, but many liberals have begun to question exactly what her stances are and her methods of deflecting criticism during this campaign. So the obvious question is, why are they leading the polls? Honestly, I couldn't care less about the Republican side. I don't like any of them (although I've been greatly disturbed to find myself occasionally agreeing with things I hear Ron Paul say). Clinton worries me though. She seems to be very hard to pin down on many issues and seems to be more devoted to not appearing to rock the boat than actually affecting significant change. NPR had very good discussion of the differences...

Barackary Clintama

I've started to hold out some vague hope for the next presidential elections. At least, unlike the last time, it looks like I'll have enough choices to make voting in the Democratic primary worth my while.

Although I've often entertained the idea of showing up at some of the party events I get invites to just to blow their minds). Don't get me wrong, I like John Kerry just fine.

New Year's Resolution

New Year's resolutions are stupid. Let me get that out of the way right away. I don't like them, I almost never make them, and when I have I've failed miserably. Okay, so maybe I'm avoiding the chance of failure by not making New Year's resolutions. What are you, my shrink? Well, I've made one. I'm going to post to this thing at least once a week. Not only do I really need to get back to writing (instead of playing Runescape all day), but now maybe people will actually know what's going on in my life for a change. Not that anyone cares what's going on in my life other than the handful of people I'm going to give this address to. If you have managed to stumble onto this site blind, I have to wonder what you're doing here. Maybe you might be interested in the political rantings of a psychopathic libertarian socialist . Or maybe like Michael Moore you think that Librarians are going to take over the world and want an inside track on ...
