***What you have to believe to be a republican & support Bush!!***

1. Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him and a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.

2. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

3. The United States should get out of the United Nations (and not pay our back dues), and our highest national priority is enforcing UN resolutions against Iraq.

4. A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multinational corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

5. Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.

6. The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.

7. If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.

8. A sound strategy to fight terrorism is to belittle our longtime allies, then demand their cooperation, manpower and money.

9. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.

10. HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart.

11. Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.

12. A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense.

13. A president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.

14. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.

15. The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's driving record and three month's absence from the National Guard is none of our business.

16. Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness, and you need our prayers for your recovery.

17. You support states' rights, which means Attorney General John Ashcroft can tell states what local voter initiatives they have the right to adopt.

18. What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the 1980s is irrelevant.

19. That Bush, who doesn't read newspapers, and who can't speak an intelligible paragraph on his own (not written for him), is intelligent enough to rid the planet Earth of all evil.

I am going to plan a venture down to Springfield, MO to visit my old professors, check out how the department is doing, and possibly do some much-overdue swording. Tom and Jon frequently go to Springfield, so I'm hoping one or both of them would want to meet down there over a weekend or something.

We're going to go see "Silent Hill" tonight with Scott, Amanda, and possibly a few others. Corey and Kristy have said they'll be there as well. I hope this movie doesn't blow; it doesn't look like it will, but...well, just look at some of the crap-tastic video game movies...winners like "Street Fighter" and "Super Mario Bros." (which, actually, are so bad they're kinda fun, at least in the case of SF, but still).

Ben and Michelle sold their house; and then shortly afterwards, found, contracted, and got another house. I haven't seen it yet myself, but Heather tells me it's pretty nice. Congrats, you two! Guy's Poker Night will once again resume!!!

That's all I got for you right now. Come back for more later.

Quilled Tunes: "(I Wanna) Pee On You" - Dave Chapelle

"This job is reaching critical mass!..."

I'm going to make a great estimator...and yes, I've been told that in earnest now.

They All Like To Fight For No Good Reason...

A new DVD update list is coming...I know, I know, I said the purchasing was done. It wasn't.

Anyway, going to see Scary Movie 4 with a group of people tomorrow night. Tonight, chilling at home. Things on the forum have been...stupid. Seems that everyone is against me playing the role of peace-keeper unless I'm doing it in their defense; otherwise, I'm being an asshole censor on a power trip. And when I say "everyone", I mean everyone on that forum that's ever issued a complaint about it at any time. Absolutely everyone. I have now stopped trying to make retarded people act civil towards each other on that board; they want chaos and fighting instead of peace and fun, they can have just that.

There are other issues, but I'll leave those for another time.
