Osama Bin Laden-Explosive Politician

That new tape by Osama bin Laden is real, according to the CIA. It made me think, because all the people he criticized, that he's really just an explosive poltican.

By that, I mean, he criticizes world leaders and he has his own agenda. That would be kind of making him a politican (not to mention he has a rather large backing and financial support). And the explosive part...rather explains itself. He is a terrorist.

The CIA also claims that this is the first Osama tape in a while that does not have a call to arms. That's good news. But of course, he's airing his message, and that's never good. (Seattle Times- "The tape is more about his own audience, about getting himself re-elected as the head of the movement, than anything else," said Winston Wiley, former CIA deputy director of intelligence.)

That's a very interesting look at it, and I'm inclined to agree.

Happenings of Me, Obama

Well, I'm glad to report to everyone that the Red Sox are World Champions (as if you couldn't hear the Red Sox Nation's shouts, chants and screams of a repressed people that have been waiting for this sweet moment for 86 years). Whew! Talk about a run-on sentence!

In politics (finally): The website "Yes Bush Can" has update it's site with "Let's Hope He Doesn't". That's right. This independent Pro-Bush group is now Anti-Bush and Pro-Kerry. While campaigning for him all across the country, they gained sympathy for the people that have been let down by him (or never believed in him in the first place). Interesting stuff, huh? And right before the elections...

It's good to have the support for Kerry. He is our man to unseat Bush.

I recieve a newsletter from the campaign for Barack Obama. He still sounds like a great man, and I wouldn't mind having him as president. He has tons of support from local newspapers and seems to be on his way to a relatively easy victory. I support him entirely and his superior ideas and visions to Alan Keyes.

He will win. Senator Barack Obama; that's sounds so very good. He will win, that I know.

Living off the Land

Red Sox won, yes, I know. I am overjoyed. Good luck to them tonight.
Now on to a real post:

I can't (or any political commentator) always talk and debate and express our beliefs on current events. That over time, won't get us far. We sometimes have to plan for the future and find better ways to live off the land. As you can guess, that is what I'm writing about....

One of the things that we cannot live without is energy. And if there are ways which we can get that energy (which there is) that are better than what we are doing now, we must start doing it immediatley. If our modern medical crises could be cured or scaled back via stem cell research, we can do the same for the energy problems we face.

Nuclear energy, isn't it great? We've heard things about a new nuclear plant in Iran. I'm not worrying about nuclear missiles here, but the energy they create. It will create cheap energy for the people of Iran (that can afford it). But with cheap energy like this comes large amounts of waste.The thing is though, it doesn't have to be this way.

Think about it. This is Iran. Do you think they might get a lot of sun there? Possibly? How about Solar Energy. A perfect solution for (many) of their energy needs.

The link I've given you here is a site I found while googling about solar power. This place seems to have it all. If you are looking to completely transfer your small island country to solar energy, this might be the place to do it. I hope that some administration (hopefully the Kerry one) will start a massive environment saving movement. It's not just a "it would be nice" kind of thing. We need to start it now. But it doesn't stop with solar energy. Living off the land means what it means. So let's talk wind power.

If we had been using wind power more often, we'd have a lot less problems (at least having them be less severe). What we do know frustrates me so much. The computer I type at is powered by nuclear energy, if I'm not mistaken. Oil spills happen and our environment the takes the toll. It's not right, plain and simple.

I want you to go to this site. It states: " Contrary to what some antinuclear activists would like you to believe, the nuclear industry has found a solution for its waste challenges." While that may be true in some cases, as the site attests, it is not up to par, clearly. Look at those towers of emissions and tell me that it's safe for you, your children and the world you live in.

If you see where the environment is going, it is obvious it needs improvement. The sun and wind are not planning to stop any time soon (as far as I know). They do create jobs and make living better, not just now, but most importantly, for the future, too.

Red Sox+Game Seven=Sweet

Politics is the last thing on my mind right now. Okay, it's the second thing on my mind. But the first one is the Boston Red Sox defeating the Yankees in New York to be the first team to go from 3 games down to the tie it up and force a 7th game. Four words can describe this feeling: it's about damn time!

I love it when the Yankees are beaten, and the by the Red Sox is even better. And not to mention...they achieved history tonight! A statue of David Ortiz should be built in the heart of Boston to commemorate baseball history. Or put it in Cooperstown, wherever, just don't place it in Florida because some Hurrican Random will destroy it.

Tommorow, more history shall be made. The Boston Red Sox will win Game 7 and it will be sweet(er).

On to victory Red Sox Nation!

BackDoor Draft

There should be no reason why people don't understand John Kerry when he says there is a backdoor draft going on. It means that soldiers already enlisted are being drafted. Forced to go back to Iraq when they have served their time. Sending veterans to another country against their will is a great thing, isn't it?

It's not. It needs to stop. And when Kerry says something bad about Bush, I'm pretty confident he's going to work his hardest to make sure that doesn't happen under a Kerry Administration.

Wait, do I really trust Kerry? Especially after his "record" and all? Yes, I do. I feel strongly I can trust this man more than the liar who has ruled over our country for four long years.

Saying that John Kerry becomes President, he has the opportunity to accomplish great things. What makes him qualified is:

* He is President (will be)

* He is the current President (and after seeing what works and doesn't with 43 other presidents, he has an advantage)

John Kerry can stop the backdoor draft. Bush will not, he obviously supports it.

Fear not?

I think that I have been worrying less about a draft. If Bush wins, which we'll make sure he doesn't, it's only four years. I am admitting that I am easing off the democratic hot button issue. Flip-flop? No.

I believe I have said (or at least always believed) that Bush would be more likely to enstate a draft. So Republicans in cowboy hats need not gather in mobs and wave their arms.

And I've also heard Republican comments on John Kerry's statement that he will expand the army by 40,000 troops. One unit with a backup unit (I don't think it's a "unit", but you understand me...is it regiment?Battalion?). This is like saying that because Kerry said he wants to make healthcare cheaper, he's forcing you to get it. The army will still be a choice under Kerry. There are ways to that kind of things. I would know exactly how,I'm not a politician...yet.

The last debate is over and we face a "sprint to the finish". If anybody cares I watched the debates on NBC, another "liberal media" outlet.

Bush did well in the last debate, though John Kerry might have done a little better in the final and third debate. I also think John Kerry won all three debates. You can tell this by my little graph (below):

1st Debate-Winner:John Kerry-It was a clear victory, I don't need put that Bush was the "loser" which I entirely agree with.

2nd Debate-Winner:John Kerry-It was actually more of a tie, but I'm partisan,right?

3rd Debate-Winner:John Kerry-Enjoying his performance very much, I was not as impressed with President Bush's talks which often seemed vintage Bush public speaking, not up to par.

Extra 2nd Debate Commentary: Bush was yelling and cutting off the moderator. Do you think he does this with other countries, too?

Blog Explosion

Let me just talk about the blog itself for a bit:

I went to Teeter's Thoughtpad, and thought about his problem getting hits and real readers, too. I always want readers, so I thought it might be a good gamble to try BlogExplosion. But I am too having the same doubts, so I asked BlogExplosion to take my blog off their list.

My hits have gone up quite a bit, 31 today, but I am wondering how many read what I have to say. Probably not that many, considering the way BlogExplosion does things.

"If you go to two sites, someone will go to yours". That's basically their motto. I like getting the hits, but I like getting readers better. So if you're here from BlogExplosion, tell me if you've actually been reading this. And also, I wouldn't mind if you checked out the archives, full of my political thoughts.

This is all so weird. You know, I might keep it, because some people might bother to read it. Numbers about my blog tend to make me happy, so maybe I will keep it. Now I just have to see if BlogExplosion responds to my email.


And, if you're interested in watching TV, here is what I reccomend:

The Daily Show (Comedy Central)
Saturday Night Live (NBC)
CBS News (Haha, just kidding)

2nd Prez Debate

Well, there is no doubt that Bush's second debate was received better by the republican community than the first one. However, though Bush defended several key issues, maybe he, quite honestly, doesn't know what he's talking about.

A few times as Kerry would speak, Bush would make another strange face as if to say, "My advisors never told me that." I enjoyed it when Kerry made a comment (I'm paraphrasing), "This president wants you to see all the issues as black and white." That is a great point he made, which the administration has been doing for the longest time, since, oh...September 11th.

Bush was a better debater (than he was before) because he spoke clearer and confronted issues better. I can at least give credit to him for that.

Kerry spoke sensibly about the issues and let America know more about him.

The debate was different because the audience had the opportunity to ask questions and put the candidate on the spot. It was good in some ways (it let an average American be heard) and bad in some ways (they kept asking national security questions, when really they were supposed to focus on domestic issues -Right?-).

It seems that after John Kerry shoots down an accusation by Bush, Bush is always right. He can hear the greatest answer in the world from Kerry and still continue on his hard-headed rhetoric (sorry, I believe that it's not being hard-headed, but dedicated, right? Must be).

Bush is getting to much into the mentality of "Why isn't every person in America voting for me?" He just seems a bit cocky as he smirks and makes those strange faces as Kerry responds to a question.

I want John Kerry to be a man (and a president) of inspiration who can not only make the people feel better, but accomplish things, too. We cannot afford four more years. I don't care how many times that line is repeated, but it always rings true.

Right Contradiction

The religious right does not like abortion. We've heard that all. But what confuses me is thier stance against contraception. Their religion does not agree with it, right?

Well, sometimes you have to ask yourself if what you believe in makes sense. If teens (or people) aren't educated about contraception, aren't they more likely to get pregnant? And since they had no intention of having a baby, wouldn't they be more likely to have an abortion?

To me it seems logical, for both sides, really. One side wants to prevent unwanted babies altogether, and the other wants to prevent a religiously frowned upon way of delayed-contraception (abortion).

But this probably doesn't matter, really. What the religious right does anyways hardly ever appeals to me as logical. But for the ones willing to think like I do, just for a second, does it really make sense to do what you are doing?

They are pro-life, after all and we constantly hear their message. So maybe this logical sense can never appeal to them. But to many people, it just might.

And I hope all listen to the logic and the scientific ways of advancing technology and our society.

I'm not Dead!

If anybody worried about me, I took a strangely long absence from the blog. I missed two debates to blog about, so I have a lot of catching up to do.

Why wasn't I blogging? No internet. It was terrible, send me emails of sympathy. But the router is fixed and I blog once more.

The Kerry/Bush Presidential Debate:

I believe Kerry was the better speaker and more ideas, too. Bush clearly ran out of things to say a while back in the debate. Kerry, however, had a strong message he finally cleared up for the American public. Good to see.

Bush, however, was not a good speaker. That kind of comment isn't trying to be partisan. I'll tell you when he does do well, but he was not a good speaker. Also, he wasted much time by repeating himself.

This brand new clear look (and very happy at times) was just what we needed to see. The polls showed better for Kerry (most of them).

The Vice Presidential Debate...

I feel that Edwards could have capatalized more on Dick Cheney. Cheney was very negative and quite monotonous.

Realy though, I'm not sure there was much of a winner, or if it sparked much interest at all. It was alright, but not deserving of 90 minutes. Maybe an hour, how's that?
