I hate it when...

... they spell it "congradulations".

The Vote of a New Generation

Obama... Pepsi... something seems familiar...

Chinese Democracy

According to Wikipedia:

"Chinese Democracy is the upcoming sixth studio album by the American rock band Guns N' Roses. Scheduled for release on November 23, 2008 in North America—according to Billboard and Rolling Stone—it will be their first album of original studio material since the simultaneous release of Use Your Illusion I and II in September 1991."

A timely followup to their success 17 years ago.

This strikes me as more shocking and newsworthy than if China actually instituted democratic reforms.

Christians and Jews

I was wondering... if America is essentially a Christian nation (no offense everyone else, but really... when did you see an election sway because of the Buddhist vote?), why then are we supposedly so interested in the wellbeing of Israel?

Didn't the Jews pretty much ask for Christ to be killed?

Republicans and the $700 Billion Bailout

So I was thinking... why are the Republicans all bent outta shape about the bailout package? Really, thinking about it, this is something that falls in line with their beliefs.

Republicans are pretty much big time bible thumpers, I think we can agree on that. In the bible, there's talk of God and Jesus. If you recall, Gods basic shtick is that men are flawed, and he hands down some rules (or Commandments if you will) about how to live. Men continue to be pretty messed up, so as the story goes "sends his only begotten son" (this sounds like Superman sorta) to help "save" us. Now the thing is, we only have to believe in J.C. in order to be saved. That's it... no community service, no fines, no prison time. Just believe.

In a sense.. it's like a bailout package from God.

So an economic bailout is... really... the Christian thing to do :)
