More Political Ranting:

Arnold QOTD: "I saw this toilet bowl. How many times do you get away with this — to take a woman, grab her upside down, and bury her face in a toilet bowl? I wanted to have something floating there ... The thing is, you can do it, because in the end, I didn't do it to a woman — she's a machine! We could get away with it without being crucified by who-knows-what group." -describing a scene in "Terminator 3"

During the Presidential Election campaign of 2000, Will Ferrell did a parody of what the US would be like in a few years if George W. Bush won the election. It showed Bush giving a television address from the Oval Office. On his desk there was a little hibachi that was smoking. Behind him there was a map of the US that showed the country in disarray, including the Great Lakes that were on fire. Ferrell played Bush as being confused and dimwitted. It was hillarious at the time. Little did I know that, sadly, the parody was actually prophetic. Just think of all the country has gone through in the past three years: attacks, war, increasing pollution, blackouts, recession, the list goes on and on. I miss the days when our biggest concern was who was fooling around with whom in the White House.

In the Alabama, Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore commenting on his not removing the Ten Commandment monument in the courthouse stated, "I am accountable to God before I am accountable to the law." How is this guy different from the Taliban in Afghanistan? Hello, first amendment? We live in a democracy, not a theocracy.

Ok, I will stop. Enough aggravation for one day.
