Oh, George

President Bush is at it again I see. He is threatening to veto any bill that will put a timeline on pulling troops from overseas. Why? Well basically I see it as that he knows he made his bed so now he knows that he has to lie in it. He has less than two years left in office and he knows that it's a mess over there but he has to stand behind his mess which I had to admit but takes a lot of balls. Maybe most may say that he is being hard-headed, maybe they are right, but I don't see why the President is so adiment on making the next guy's job that much harder. Whoever the next President is will not only have to worry about their own term but trying to clean up the mistakes of the previous "regime" also, which isn't fair. My opinion is know when you're licked just like we had to do with Vietnam and know when to cut your losses and bow out semi-gracefully. We have already made fools out of ourselves over there to the rest of the world so the smart thing to do is try to start regaining some prestige. Hey, I guess my views are why I vote Democrat. God be with Bush and whoever has the tough job of cleaning up after him.

Racist?

A couple of weeks ago I remarked on the racist implications of the name NAACP but there is another race that has problems and they are the Native Americans. Now for years they have been protesting the fact that sports teams have used a people as a mascot and they are right. How would white people like it if there were the Florida Crackers or how would blacks like it if there were the Chicago Black Hitters? Also I take offense to the fact that they are still referred to as Indians. They aren't. Indians are people that derived from India. Just because Christopher Columbus made the mistake a couple of hundred years ago, why are they still paying for it. Looks like black folks aren't the only ones still needing to fight for civil rights.

Oh Scooter

Is there any citizen in America that doesn't believe that Scooter Libby will be pardoned by President Bush? The answer I believe is no. Even when I have seen Libby on TV lately after his guilty verdict, he doesn't even seem to be too worried. I guess he thinks he knows something that everyone else doesn't know. The thing is that I believe that had this been earlier in Bush's term and his reputation wasn't as screwed up as it already is, then Bush might let everything alone to prove a point to the people but this isn't the situation. He has made his bed and if he does anything more to piss the US citizens off, there is not too much that can be done politically in retaliation against him and he knows it. Must be nice to know low people in high places.

Watch Ya Back

I really don't know what to make of the fact that terrorist groups have said that once Prince Harry gets deployed, he will be either killed or kidnapped. I will have to say that he is showing either great courage or great stupidity by wanting to be treated like any other troop. Be it what it may, this is a very patriotic and honorable stand that the prince is making. On another note, after he is through with his military obligation, this should make everyone forget about the antics that he pulled a couple of years ago. They say the armed services will make a man out of a boy. I guess Harry is proving just that.

Wanted: More Bloodhounds

I heard last week that the government is stepping up the hunt for Osama bin Laden. Hmm, I wonder why. At a time where political sides are trying to gain leaway for upcoming elections, of course everyone wants to be the one claiming to come up with Osama. Plus, Bush doesn't have too much time left in office and he knows that the next President will most likely spend his time on more pressing issues so of course he is going to step his efforts up. But you have to wonder what will happen after they catch him, if they do. They are trying to act like he is responsible for all world terror. What don't they understand about the fact that as soon as they catch him, hundreds will step up to take his place and terrorism will excalate in retaliation. My opinion is to target the whole lot of these guys. The allegiance has been pledged to this guy by his people so we need to drop a metaphoric Hiroshima A-bomb on them. It's sad to say though that regardless of what happens, in 100 years there will be a new terror threat plagueing the world. Parents please prepare your great-grandchildren.

1st Amendment

Last week I heard that at a high school somewhere they are trying to ban booing at sports games. How are you going to tell someone that pays their money that they can root for someone but can't boo if they want to. This to me is a violation of the first amendment which is for free speech. If they are trying to do this because some of the players are getting their feelings hurt, if the child is too much of a punk to take some criticism by fans, then they need to have their little timid asses kicked off the team. I just can't see a reason for this to be done. I guess this is just another trivial thing that some bored school officials are trying to pass off to try and flex their "muscles". Good job, lol.

Time For Change?

Lately there has been a call to change the name of the NAACP which stands for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In my opinion, there needs to be action because if a white person ever came up to a black person and called him colored, the black person would be ready to fight. This is 2007 and that word needs to be done away with reference to race just like the word nigger. No one disagrees that even black people shouldn't refer to each other as nigga so why should one of our most prestigious organizations have the word colored in the title. Why the old school people want to keep the name the way it is I don't know. If they are so much about tradition, then why don't they bring back race titles for bathrooms and drinking fountains. This word is probably confusing the young generations who were taught to take offense to the word but see this prominent organization representing it proudly. To the old school, just change the one word and see that it won't be that big a deal.
