No Vote. No press. Not even the eyes of CSPAN are watching as the president infringes on posse comitatus - a federal law of the United States intended to prohibit Federal troops from supervising elections in former Confederate states. It generally prohibits Federal military personnel and units of the United States National Guard under Federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress. Not any more. The old Bushy slipped us a constitutional mickey. Now he can Declare martial law whenever he sees fits. And you know how great his judgement is! I posted the article from the New York Times on my Myspace blog- its too big to place here, and you have to be a member to read it.
Obama is in town and boy- is he kicking all kinds of ass. I was privileged to see him speak this week and he blew my mind. He is daring, truthful and unafraid. I will be fighting to support him as our next president, as I think Hillary is just second best.
Mkay kids. Sorry I haven't updated lately. Had some dental work done and was in agony. I'll be more punctual about spewing all over the internets.

Hug the planet Assholes
The machine has been spinning its wheels since I was in primary school. Admittedly raised in a wildly liberal California, I was aware of the deterioration of the planet - caused by humans- from a very young age. As children we were warned of the consequences of pollution, holes in the ozone layer, global warming and the misogynistic/ christian kill em' all cause that's what they are here for mentality.
It appears to me that (20 years later) the cognizant public is starting to get it.
I watch a considerable amount of television these days, all of it news. (the evolving zeitgeist that I mention in my last post has made for some great new programing). From bbc world news, to Link and google current, I feel as though I have a pretty good idea of what kind of info the general populace is getting and/or interested in. We wont talk about my cspan addiction.
Every day. Every single day, there are reports about global warming. On every network... even cspan. Everyone is talking about it, which leads me to believe that everyone is concerned about it. As well they should be.
The environmental messiah has been nominated for the Nobel peace fucking prize. No shit. His ground breaking movie, An Inconvenient Truth, is being trumpeted as the cause for the general awareness that I have blissfully fell upon. In the news this week, Im sure you saw, more than once, the IPCC's report confirming that humans are responsible for global warming. It took a panel of geeky types to reiterate what Ive known since primary school, and 20 fucking years. Here I go again with the I told you so's.
In a nut shell, if you keep driving that SUV in oblivious chosen ignorance, your stupidity WILL cause the death of millions of people. YOUR planet will change so drastically, it will not sustain human life as we know it.
Funny evil story- I'm in the city of angels last night. An accident occurred on the freeway. Normally, this would concern me. Is everyone okay? Have the officials been called? Alas, I noticed what vehicles were involved. My heart stood sill, in joyous rapture, as I noticed an SUV had collided with a particularly hideous truck (with one of those fancy lift kits ha ha ha). Both monstrosities had crumbled with the impact. As I slowly drove by heckling and hoping that all of the passengers had died or been seriously injured, I remembered I wasn't alone. My friend requested that I never stop being so EVIL. It makes his tummy warm.

GET THAT CORN OUTTA MY FACE!
Well its about fucking time. The American people have finally found their voice. Thousands of people turned out this weekend for anti war protests all over the country. its quite gratifying. I'm not even bitter about the fact it took 7 years of bigotry and hate. 7 years of our civil rights being violated. 7 years of pain and death, as we watched our brothers and sisters die needlessly in the desert as our environment crumbled at our feet. Well maybe a little bitter.
I cant contain my adulation about ex white press Secretary Ari Fleischer and his testimony today. Never mind the fact that the Bush/ Cheney regime is going down in flames (I cant wait until those fuckers are put on trial for war crimes). We knew this testimony was going to be dirty (in a delicious seedy way) when Ari demanded immunity before he testified. Here is to hoping his testimony contributes to Cheney's former chief of staff inevitable prison sentence wherein he will be gang raped repeatedly by large hairy black men.
Do you hate your boss? How about an ex lover? I found this delectable site today where you can send scathing anonymous letters for the low low price of 3 bucks. It says anonymity is guaranteed- but what do they give you if your privacy is breeched? Your 3 dollars back? Although the CEO of the company I work for is first on my list to receive the funny how shit rises to the top card, I'll be verifying that guarantee before it actually gets sent.
Lastly, Tool is touring stateside again, which will be followed by a DVD/ CD release of the live show. Say goodbye kids, this is surely Maynard's last hurrah.

Priorities?
Being 25 is extraordinarily stressful.
I feel the need to work with people right now. As in the last year. Not the typical charity stuff I USED to have time for, but a career change. Its just not moving fast enough, compounded by my indecisiveness. Behavioral health is such a vast field... its simply a matter of narrowing it down and finding where I fit. As always, this only a step. Up up and away.
And yet, there is the California pull. You would think one would grow out of this. I feel no shame or remorse in regards to my addiction to music. 10 years?
Now I have to go cancel a romantic weekend trip to Napa. Im sure he will understand. Really. THE SCREENING has been announced and shall not be missed.

Dee Dee Dee
Fun in Democrat land!
Thanks to my Maria for the heads up on John Edwards Internet news. Edwards website is fantastic full of scathing documentary about today's political catastrophe. I mean seriously guys, pay attention. Politics is better than television! Anyway, my favorite candidate even has blog that will now be added to my favorites on the list you probably ignore (stop it, there is some important shit over there).
If nothing else, please take the time to sign a very important petition which urges congress to stop being babies and pull the plug on Iraq. The only criminal here is the smirking chimp, who blatantly insists on killing innocent people without the support of the American people. It will only take a moment, and it will make your day, I promise.
One more thing- if you need to resize photos for whatever reason, my bro found this really cool site that doesnt require you to download anything. Pretty fucking sweet!

Dems will pwn teh primaries
FER SHUR.
Finally, the fucking fantastic John Edwards has announced he will be running for pres in '08. My liberal heart is filled with joy at the thought of a president who has a legitimate college education.
Okay, this is bigger than a degree.
Edwards is not afraid. He put his bid in early. His intentions are painfully clear. There can be no question about his potential domestic and foreign policy.
I'm still waiting for word from the Wesley camp. Oh, how I love politics.

Its that time of the month again!
Yay! And I still haven't figured out what I am going to about it. My estrogen rich ovaries continue to drop eggs into my pesky uterus. Perhaps one of the two readers of my blog would like to harvest this awful organ? I have no need of it and its in tip top shape.
Ah the looming presidential primaries. Such an exciting and important time. Truth be told, I'll vote for whatever democrat makes it through the primaries on top. Even it is the queen of "lets appeal to the moderates" Hillary Clinton. Republicans have one thing right- establish you're ideas, and stick to them. This fair lady is even loved by the neo-cons...
I would love to see Wesley Clark run this time. With John Edwards at his side they could navigate the sweeping change that must take place in this country. By the way naysayer, its not because Wes is dead sexy. He is a millitary genius and is a rogue scholar. What better person to guide us out a civil war WE created? Thats going to be tough.
Avast! People are trying to organize in a sensible manner to cure the ills of the planet and solve the problem of Global Warming. So far, so good. Its seems we have an agenda, and a clever little list (that made me cry for a good hour) to delineate what needs to be done. See the report on BBC world news United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Take it from there if you care. If not, go and drive that gas guzzling monstrosity while I enjoy my constitutional liberties. Whatever makes you happy.
Speeaking of happy! wooo hoooo! I shoiuldnt have taken that second pill. Fallling out of my chair and what not. Im going to finish off this gallon of H2O and hope you wont have to build a bridge over my ass in the morning.
