Palin? Really, John??? Alrighty Then...

So yeah, Sarah Palin. Okay John, listen: We know you are out of touch with America. We know that you can't relate financially to us (unless we make a few million a year), we know that you sometimes forget just how much real-estate you own, we know that you call yourself a maverick in spite of voting for Bush's plans over 90 percent of the time. And yes, we know you're an American War Hero and very, very old.

What we didn't know was how desperate and crazy you really are.

So desperate to get yourself into a commanding lead in a nationwide general election where you're either tied with Obama or behind. CRAZY enough to pick a women with just as, if not more, inexperience than Obama just becaue your advisors say you are losing the female vote.
John, John, John. Poor, deluded John. Do you think that little of women? Do you seriously think that just because she's got breasts and ovaries that women, especially the upset Clinton Women, will flock to you? JUST because she's a woman?????

Sure, and every black person is going to vote for Obama.

You're fucking stupid, John. Or so fucking old that you've headed into the Reagan-esque period of your life where you're suffering from "all timers".

I work in an office where I'm one of like, 3 Democrats. The other 250 or so employees swing way to the right. People you had on your side are now saying they will vote for Obama just to make sure you don't win.

Seriously, WTF, JOHN????
And if you keel over and die in your first term, do you think, do you honestly think, that this woman is fit to lead the nation?

Really? Because your camp has been saying for months that Obama, who actually has experience in Washington, isn't fit to lead.

What would make this newly elected Governor of Alaska fit to lead and not Obama? All of a sudden your "he's too inexperienced" speeches just don't fly, now do they???

YOU WENT AND BLEW YOUR BIGGEST ADVANTAGE OVER OBAMA OUT OF THE WATER, YOU CRAZY OLD MAN!!!

Well, Obama/Biden in 2008. And if Obama does end up on the business end of an assassin's gun, at least we know that Biden is more than capable to take over.

You putz. You're so not confident in your own ability to carry yourself to the White House that you do this crazy stunt? You think that you can make up for your non-conservative status by trying to get a young female conservative on the ticket?

What a crock.

Conservative of Bust

So I think to myself, I think: John McCain is going to be the Republican Nominee...how very un-Republican.

Or at least, how very un-conservative.

Now I haven't lost faith that Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee are going to be thorns in the side. The call to drop the nomination race and just accept McCain as the undisputed winner is stupid. It would be like, I dunno, a NASCAR racer getting into the Daytona 500 and deciding that the leader is just too damn far ahead, why finish? (and then doing donuts in the middle of the track..at least that's what I would do).

Political pundant Sean Hannity even dismisses Huckabee. Mr. mouthpiece of the right wing conservatives pretty much endorses MCAIN. I sometimes wonder if, I dunno, back in 1999 when I flipped my car a dozen or so times off of I-75 that maybe I actually did die, and this is another world I flipped into, where crazy marries crazier, and they have insane babies.
The race isn't over. And you know, it's all or nothing for the Republicans. So IF Huckabee stays in (and to a lesser extant, Ron Paul, any impact will do), and he WINS some delegates, they could very well go into the convention without the numbers to win. AND THEN you'd have a Republican National Convention worth tuning into! It would be each nominee, debating for days, getting character speakers and witnesses up for support of them, laying out their individual platforms in a frenzied pace to secure the nomination. It would be...well, akin to English politics, actually (in energy, not in political discourse).
I'd watch that.

Especially since, media and political spin not-with-standing, MCCAIN IS NOT A TRUE CONSERVATIVE.

Hell, there hasn't be a true conservative in YEARS. Hell, even Ronald Reagan didn't match all the criteria of a true conservative (fiscally speaking, tax cuts do not make you a conservative if you piss away the balance in deficit spending)

So that should be the motto for the two closest candidates for conservative that the Republicans have this year (Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee, in case you didn't know, they are still in the race). Conservative or Bust.

Has a nice ring to it. (if you're a conservative, if you're a hell-bound moderate to liberal like myself, there's no hope for you)

Actually, I'll blog on that later on. I feel like I may have chosen the wrong side when I was young and stupid. Not that I'm giving up on the Democratic Party, but I think it's about time to evaluate where we stand, starting with myself.

Cuz, you know, I don't like talking about myself. Ever.

Transformers - Or "Take that, Spider-Man 3!"

So yeah, there was this show on when I was a kid called Transformers. Based on a toy line, it was kinda cool. Toys were better than the show, though. Made of metal, back when Toys were Toys (not like the crap they make today. Cheap ass plastic, un-inspired waste of money toys. Ugh.).

Yeah, so anyway, it's a movie now. Only took roughly 20 years for technology to catch up to the imagination of the 80's to the point where they could make a decent flick based on these things.

I had heard of this live action Transformers Movie, and you know, I was kind of skeptical. Especially when I heard Michael Bay was involved. But then I saw the trailer during Spider-Man 3 (the best part of Spider-Man 3...I kid, I kid..well, sort of kid...). The trailer was great, and I saw good old Spielberg was involved, so hey, I'd give it a shot.

And it was a great film! I laughed a lot. It was full of awesome action sequences, I didn't have to be a die hard fan to know what was going on...it was all pretty straight forward. I highly recommend it. I'll buy it on DVD eventually, and that's an honor because not just anything gets into my DVD collection.

Not for the kiddies, though. Too much swearing and violence. I repeat, unless you're a bad parent, don't drag your brat to this flick.

For all the bad parents, feel free to drag your brat to the movie...and feel the wrath of all eyes upon you judging you and sentencing you to a special circle of Hell.

Enter The Blog

Once upon a time, Tom "2Tum" Toner gave me a livejournal account so I could make fun of it. I thought Livejournal accounts were stupid. I mean, you're writing in a Journal, a fancy Diary...why would you want anybody to read it? I had fun for awhile, tried to get serious a few times, but in the end I just gave up on it.

Next came Myspace. A great place to keep up with friends and family, and to tune into lots of indie music, but not really a great place to write, despite it's blog feature.

So now I'm here. I might have found a place the fits me, if not, hey, it's free.

Owner of ComiX-Fan Eric J. Moreels asked me repeatedly when we launched the site to write a regular column. The few times I did writer a column for the site, combined with my reviews and interviews along with my journalism background must have impressed him in some way, shape or form. I always declined (just like I declined to be the Official ComiX-Fan Financial Guru, just because I had a Financial background didn't make me the most qualified).

This is about as close as I'll ever get. The purpose of this blog, besides the dumb people I see on a regular basis, will be my thoughts on anything and everything, except my family (unless it's something positive, no need to drag them into drama or negativity) . If Eric ever sees this, he'll be glad to know that I'll most likely touch upon the Comic Book Industry, it just won't be for ComiX-Fan. One day I may write a tell all about my time at the site, but since it's been years since I stepped down, I don't think anybody would care now anyway.

I don't know if anybody will ever read this blog. And I don't really care. If I wanted a higher profile, I'd take up journalism again, or start posting like mad on message boards like the good old days.

It's for me mostly, not you. And if you find it, and read it, and are educated by it in some way, so be it. Glad I could help. If not, sorry I wasted your time. But then again, I didn't make you come here, so I'm not TOO sorry.....
