A while ago Amr and I got into a heated discussion about the state of politics today.  I said something akin to the fact that I have become apathetic towards the political process because the rest of the United States is.  I proclaimed how the elected officials were supposed to be OUR representatives, and if one person wanted change, and got enough people on their side, it should be able to cause change – but that people were so stupid being lead [Click Comments To Continue]

So, there’s a story that I’ve seen on facebook a couple times in the past couple hours that I felt like I needed to comment on, and since I’m doing National Blog Posting Month, I figured that I would chime in on this and use my SEO powers for good – so for all of you who came here from a search, here is what the staffer said: From the moment Mitt Romney stepped off stage Tuesday night, having just delivered a brief concession speech he wrote only [Click Comments To Continue]

There’s a little known fact in politics, and that the most accurate predictor of who’s going to win an election is actually done a week before to the day of the election.   It’s not polling, it’s not walking door to door.  It has nothing to do with the internet at all.  You see, the majority of the of schools in the United States have mock elections leading up to a presidential election – and the 1 – 3rd graders pick is almost universally correct.

Many people who know me will say that Romney winning my vote isn’t earth shattering news.  They will say that I am closed minded, a racist and that I never would have voted Obama.  Part of that is true – I would never vote for Obama because I’m against big government and some of the major staples of his platform.  What you didn’t know is that Romney had ALSO lost my vote along his campaign.  In fact – I was planning on voting green party… until [Click Comments To Continue]

Many of you are familiar with Brandon, the blogger over at lostinidaho.  You see, we have multiple guest posts and twitters going back and forth and he’s pretty much my blogger boyfriend.  Recently, he discovered a total gem in his home state that I must add to my collection of plushies. Yes – Brandon found a plushie version of Mitt Romney while trying to claw things out of a vending machine. It must be mine. It will be mine. Apparently, all [Click Comments To Continue]

You know, republicans get a lot of hate for being the party of bullshit. Sure, they want to stick wands up our vagina’s and they don’t think we deserve the right to choose – but the left actually has a war against men going on that no one even seems to notice.   They are constantly harping on this mythical thing called the “gender pay gap”, and even as recently as June of 2012 they tried to pass another law called the Equal Pay Act which the Republican’s [Click Comments To Continue]

Recently, Republican Senate candidate Tom Ryan was asked to comment on the comments made by Todd Akin.  For those of you living under a rock, Todd Akin is the asshole who’s comments has caused such a stir about ‘legitimate rape’ and abortion.  (You can read a better recap about that whole fiasco over here.) Poor Tom Ryan, who is behind 18 points in the polls, gets asked by the media what his opinion on Todd Akin’s comments are, and he responded: “What [Click Comments To Continue]

I have this friend, Dave Wilburn, whom I met long ago when I was an active member of Fark.  Since then, both Dave and I have stopped using Fark as it makes us want to punch infant children – but we’ve remained fairly good friends on facebook.  I have him post blog articles of mine to reddit, and he constantly tells me I need to move to Texas and get in his kitchen and make me a sandwich and then get on my knees.  It’s a very productive relationship [Click Comments To Continue]

It is absolutely no secret that I am pretty conservative on the political spectrum.  I’m also fairly loudmouthed about my views when it comes to politics.  What might surprise you is that the boyfriend is fairly liberal in his views, or at least way more liberal than I am.   In the past two months we’ve had lively and spirited discussions on: – Ryan’s Budget – Obama’s College Transcripts – Mitt Romney’s Tax Returns – Climate Change – Obamacare – [Click Comments To Continue]

The other night, while looking on TV to find something to put on to fall asleep to, I stumbled across Ghostbusters II.  Now – as many of you know, I’m a Ghostbusters addict.  How many of you reading this can think of times where I have stumbled home with the party from the bar, made some macaroni and cheese, and put on Ghostbusters or Ghostbusters II and gleefully sat there reciting every line?   Well, in watching Ghostbusters II the other night, [Click Comments To Continue]
