Herman Cain CPAC Speech: 'Stupid People Are Ruining America' (VIDEO)

While I would agree with Mr. Cain that stupid people ARE in fact ruining America I find it rather ironic that he is saying that the liberals are the "stupid people". The only stupid people that I've seen "ruining" America are the people who are stupid enough to vote for Bush, or try to ban gay marriage because they don't "understan­d it" or think its "gross". How about the people who are so stupid that they think that Evolution and Global Warming are "theories" and thus they don't exist because The Bible and conservati­ve greedy "in the back pockets of oil companies" "Scientist­s" tell them that they aren't real. How about the people who try to make correlatio­ns to modern day scientific advances and a 2,000 year old book, or actually believe that that same 2,000 year old book was meant to be taken literally.­.... ALL of these people support the same party that cain does... perhaps if Mr. Cain would like to actually DO something to get rid of the "stupid people ruining America" he'll join a party that will fund education instead of giving tax breaks to the wealthy, or at least pay attention to whom his constituen­cy is!

Choking on Its Contrived Objectivity, the Media Refuses to Take a Stand on Sanity

I find it absolutely "insane" that media outlets such as NPR and the Washington post would forbid their employees from attending Jon Stewart's rally. It is just this sort of behavior that Steward is trying to stop in its tracks. Stewart isn't a partisan icon like Beck on a partisan news network like Fox News. Jon Stewart is a comedian on comedy central who makes a living making fun of the news and is just sick and tired of all the "insane" behavior by the media.

At the very least these media outlets should allow their employees to attend as private citizens if not as representatives of their companies. Heaven forbid media outlets should be seen taking a stand against partisanship and fear mongering.

Don't Ask Don't Tell: Why Congress is SO useless!

Finally, nearly two decades after the bill originally passed congress Don't Ask Don't Tell, one of the stupidest policies ever created, is over. A judge in San Fransisco has placed a ban on the DADT policy effectively ending it. Not only was this policy offensive to gays and was a violation of the Bill of Rights, but it was just plain stupid. "Sure, you can be in the military if you are gay, but only if we don't know about it!" It didn't change anything! That was the policy before... although before they would ask and if you wanted to serve all you had to do was say "no". As long as you claimed you were straight you were straight. Personally I am grateful to the judge in San Fransisco who put a stop to this nonsense simply because no one else would. Let's see... Its a policy about the military... of who the president (Obama) is Commander in Chief.... couldn't he control the policies of his own military that he presides over? And how about good ole' congress? Couldn't they do something? Well... They TRIED to do something, but because someone had to go and try to sneak in a passage about giving  illegal immigrants rights in the same bill about DADT the bill failed to garner the necessary number of votes to be passed.
Dear Congress:
Stop trying to hide laws in passages of bigger bills. If you want 911 responders to have free healthcare then don't include a passage about illegal immigrants or gay rights. Same goes for repealing DADT. It may be the only way to pass laws on those particular subjects, but in the mean time you are keeping people from what they rightly deserve and you are making sure that no legislation passes WHATSOEVER!
STOP BEING SO STUPID AND USELESS!!!

p.s. I'm sorry if I offend any one with this next comment, but if you are a die hard conservative you may want to skip this next part.

Dear GOP:
I don't want to make blanket statements and stereotypes but you are all a bunch of close minded racists bigots. Go take your ridiculous close mindedness someplace else. I'm pretty sure there are a few developing countries that you could completely demolish with your selfish economic policies and ridiculous domestic policies. For instance, if you had actually READ the bible you would find that there are no passages about abortion being wrong, in fact during the time that the bible was written abortion wasn't just common it was an accepted part of life. The idea that a fetus has more rights than a grown woman is a modern idea, and a stupid one at that. It is just one more way for sexist men to try and control women. You would also find in the bible that it is explicitly stated that you should give money to the poor. Thats right economic conservatives.... that means you. So if you right wing bible beaters are going to start quoting the bible every time you mention gay marriage and abortion then perhaps you should start by reading the damn thing. If everything that the bible says is the word of law then I guess socialism ain't so bad after all you racist, sexist, hypocrites. Go take your ignorance someplace else we don't want you here!

Be Careful...

This weekend I was out with some friends when I got a phone call from one of my guy friends. He was out with friends at a bar and had apparently upset one of his friends with his erratic behavior. He sounded a bit drunk, but claimed to only have had 2 beers. Then he told me that he had taken a hit to the head earlier that day in a rugby game. I immediately told him to get his other friend and have him go home because he might have a concussion. I remembered that when you have a concussion you are not supposed to go to sleep, but I couldn't remember for how long. Anyway... given the scare that I had this weekend I decided to to post some information about concussions that I got from online.
Symptoms of a concussion may include:

• "seeing stars" and feeling dazed, dizzy, or lightheaded
• memory loss, such as trouble remembering things that happened right before and after the injury
• nausea or vomiting
• headaches
• blurred vision and sensitivity to light
• slurred speech or saying things that don't make sense
• difficulty concentrating, thinking, or making decisions
• difficulty with coordination or balance (such as being unable to catch a ball or other easy tasks
• feeling anxious or irritable for no apparent reason
• feeling overly tired

In the beginning...

The other day I came home from school after a long day, and an equally long commute and all I wanted to do was rant about how terrible the congestion is in Chicago (which it is... really) and I ended up getting into a huge fight with my mother about how she doesn't want to listen to my rants about traffic. At the same time I've also had a lot of drama amongst my friends and I decided it was time for an anonymous outlet that would allow me to express my feelings without actually expressing them out loud... thus I decided to start a blog. I've never been very good at keeping a journal of any sort before so I'm not sure how well this blog will go, and I don't know if anyone is going to read it, but I thought that it was time to give it a try, so here goes.
