Parties
I favor Obama over McCain the same way that I favor being shot in the abdomen over being shot in the chest.
McCain needs to lose in order for the Republican party to dissolve in the same way that the Democratic-Republicans dissolved after 1824.
By 1824, the Dem-Reps had absorbed the members of the Federalist Party--the same way that the Republican Party has absorbed neo-cons. Meaning, that running against each other and from the same party were John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson (think Abraham Lincoln v. Jefferson Davis). Thanks to the scheming of Henry Clay, Adams stole the presidency and the true Dem-Reps bolted from the party.
What happened next was a re-organization of the party system. I hope history repeats itself. That would be wonderful.

Ron Paul Slams Republican Warmongers
Look at John McCain during this perfectly rational argument. His look reeks of arrogantly smug or the kind of look typical of severely retarded people.
Dr. Paul has it right. If we never should have been there in the first place, then we sure as Hell better not be there for another hundred years(as McCain argues).

Random Rant For the Heck of It
I haven't been posting much lately, and for that I am sorry. I've just been dragged down by a general mid-winter malaise.
It has zapped my humor. It has belabored my insight. It has even muffled my outrage.
If it doesn't pass soon, I'll feel obligated to post anything, just to have something posted.
Good God, save us from that.
Seriously, you don't want me ranting on and on at how stupid it is when people call tuna "tunafish."
Is there any other kind of tuna?
And these clowns aren't even consistent. If it's tunafish, then shouldn't we also have hamburger cow, or shrimp crustacean, or chicken chicken, or hampig, etc.
Even if they want to say that it's a fish thing, they're still inconsistent. They don't talk about eating troutfish, salmonfish, or perchfish.
For the love of Godyahweh. If it looks like a duckfowl and quacks like a duckfowl, then you're a morondemocrat.
See what I mean? I really need to get out of this funk.

Idiotic Question
Often I hear quasi-intelligent people ask, "Why support Ron Paul? He has no chance of winning."
As if the likelihood of wars in the future was a reason for not supporting peace. As if the existence of injustice was grounds for dismissing justice. As if because the majority of the people are idiots, then I cannot be smart. As if just because I am overweight now, then I should not try to shed a few (dozen) pounds.
I'd rather lose with the good than win with the bad. Go ahead, ye supporters of Xerxes. I will fight with Leonidas. Call me a fool, but I stand between you and more war, more taxes, more regulation, and slavery--that's right, I said slavery.

Super Bowl Thoughts
I dislike the New England Patriots. They are arrogant, and they are led by a cheater. Bandwagon fans retort that what the Patriots got caught doing is what everyone does.
Really, then why haven't they been caught as well?
Besides, not everyone else is gearing up to proclaim themselves the greatest team in NFL history.
Hell, the Texans could have won the Alamo if every man had carried an M-16 and enough ammunition.
Still, that would have been fair because that is war. However, in sports there's something called sportsmanship, which the Patriots do not have.
Go New York. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
