Indoneasean troops recently invaded a tiny island and deposed its ruler, asingle Australian surfer. So once again, the world is safe for democracy and free from the torturous rule of surfers.
Meanwhile, the president admitted the pre-war intelligence as wrong and it's his fault. His poll numbers immediately go up.
If it wasn't finals week and my brain wasn't extremely fried, I could think of somehting witty to say about this. Instead, I'll just point out that they both make me laugh in a very sad, sad way.

I seem to have this effect on people...
It seems like every time I enter a party, it either clears out or become a much more lame party, which I've come to accept, given my lame-ass nature.
But cities?!? Now I just feel a little insulted.
Before I came to Minnepolis, it was the nation's most literate city. But now that I'm here, it's slipped down to second behind those unwashed hippies in Seattle. Furthremore, people seem to be leaving in droves.
Sigh...it's enough to make a boy feel unpopular. Well, even more so.

Cherished Childhood memories and sexual predators
When I was younger, every Christmas season (and yes, I said Christmas, you godless liberal atheists...and other religions) my folks and I used to go the library and check out a record of various "ethnic" Christmas songs form around the world, because we're those kind of open-minded people, right?
Anyway, my favorite song by far was Dominic the Italian Christmas Donkey because I liked the make the donkey noises along with the donkey on the recording (I didn't have many friends).
So, last Christmas, I had come home with my precious few days off of work, and my girlfriend at the time had for some reason never heard of the Dominic or his multi-ethnic friends, so I dashed straight-off to the library to find it. Well, it turns out that the Fort Dodge Public Library is one amongst many libraries that now bans adults unaccompanied by children in the children's section of the library (to attempt to stop kidnapping and sexual predators). So after a few moments browsing in the children's section, I was promptly asked to leave.
Turns out they had gotten rid of their record collection years ago anyway, so it didn't matter, but I still felt a little depressed getting kicked out of the library because they thought I was a sexual predator when I was simply trying to relive one of my most cherished chidlhood memories.
But all was not lost, because today while randomly downloading seasonal music, I stumbled onto a copy of Dominic, and have been listening to it ad naseum.
And to think, if it were up to the ACLU, I would have to listen to Dominic, the Italian-American Secular Gift-Exchange Quadraped.
Thank God for Bill O'Reilley.

So I've never been much of one for school pride and other such pointless persuits, but now that I have an alma mater to look back on like a drunken middle-aged man who's life has passed him by, I've noticed myself paying more attention to the Panthers than I did when I actually went to school there.
Anyway, all's well in Panther country right now. Last weekend we knocked off the number one ranked team in the nation in the 1-AA football plaoffs to advance to the semifinals. And last night, we beat number number 13 ranked Iowa. We haven't won a game this big in basketball since we had the Ukranian Sensation Ovtav Morariu, now tearing it up and averaging 5 points per game in the Romanian Backetball League.
In much less important news, there's apprently a war going on or something.
Sports! Whoo!

For those in C.F.
If you're reading this and you're in or around the Cedar Falls area, do make it out to the last No Shame of the semester. Granted, it's not nearly as good with the notable absence of severeal people (well, really, just me) but it's still a great place to perform or be performed at.

Another proud American milestone!
HAPPY 1,000 PERSON MURDERED BY OUR GOVERMENT!!
That's right, kiddies! The moment we as a collective nation have been waiting far too long for since '76! Tommorow morning at 2 a.m., barring some sort of miracle, the state of North Carolian will put to death their 39th person since the reinstatement of the death penalty. But much more importantly, when Kenneth Boyd receives his lethal injection in the wee hours of the first day of december, he will become the 1,000th person we as a society have seen fit to kill since the activist judges of the Supreme Court 29 years ago reversed precedent and said there was nothing cruel about killing people.
Virginia almost held the distinction of killing number 1,000, but their bleeding heart governor spared the life of a convicted killer for something as little and inconsequential as the prosecution destroying key evidence before the defense could could conduct DNA testing on it. As if that would have effected the outcome of the trial!
Oh, and there's only 23 shopping days left 'till Christmas!
(I want season 1 of Laguna Beach on DVD, in case you're curious)

Racism is bad? Controversial, but true

Today has been declared the 1st annual "Blog Against Racism Day." I tried to think of many different high-minded essays I could write about the evils of racism, but each one just ended up with me becomng depressed that it's still necessary to be against racism. I mean, come the fuck on, folks. According to my calendar, it's the year 2005. We're still not passed that shit? Anyway, I figure that no one who goes out of their way to read a blog written by someone like me is very racist, so in the end, it's a moot point.
But try to to punch a racist person in the back of the head today.
You know, to help out.
