Republicans giving Republicans a bad name

Recently a debate has emerged about whether or not a pharmacist should be allowed not to sell because it violates their personal beliefs. As a republican I've got to say this an outrage. You are entitled to your personal beliefs, you are not entitled to force other people to live according to them as these pharmacists believe they are. The pharmacists who are refusing to sell birth control (including the morning after pill) having blatantly overstepped their authority. A patient should have the option to pursue any relevent medical treatment without having to worry about whether someone's religious and moral beliefs are standing between them and their health. As a christian I also believe that abortion is here and here to stay. My personal stance is that abortion should be allowed in the first trimester or whenever the health of the mother is in jepordy, and I find this a hard position to argue with. Regardless, abortion is a serious procedure, and if an inexpensive pill can eliminate the need for a costly medical operation then isn't something like the pill the lesser of two evils (though i dont see it as one) for someone opposed to abortion? Regardless, I think its unfortunate that a few off the deep end republicans are giving the rest of us a bad name.

3 kinds of people who might actually piss off mother teresa

1.) People who drive for miles with their turn signal on

We've all seen them, you're minding your own freakin business and then bam!, some asshole appears to be making a turn... but wait! he's/she's not turning at all. I think these bastards are using some kind of torture to test, cause they make me wish i had a bond car with nuclear tipped missles behind the headlights. I don't know if Mother Teresa ever drove a car but chances are she rode in one and these people probably pissed the hell outa her.

2.) Psycho Political Bastards

Nothing like an election to bring every single self righteous politician wannabe with an agenda out of the woodwork. Everyone knows someone like this, everyone. I mean damn, not only do the vast majority of us not give a damn what you have to say, the rate at which we want to kick your ass skyrockets as you tell us why the republican agenda will result in Canada taking over the lower 48 and cause California to split of and go join mother Russia. Please, your fucking pissing me off, shut up, or I'll release the damn dogs.

3.) Hippies

Oh man, Hippies. You'd think we would've found a way to rout them all to canada but no, every now and them Im stuck driving someone who feels it absolutely neccessary to insult me with a bumper sticker reminding me that meat is murder and that trees feel pain. First of all, meat is tasty, and second of all, trees are plants. You hear me? They are plants, I'm pretty sure the trees woulda got off their collective ass and rebelled or something. I mean damn people. Whats worse is the people who protest big SUV's because they pollute, then get in a car. Hell people. just about everything that breathes pollutes. I mean cows emit a large amount of methane gas every year and I still havent heard anyone call for death to cows. Stick to your damn principles people or lack there of.

Todays run down of the top 10 things that piss me off...

10.) Sex in the City (the show... sex is still good to go)
9.) Toyotas (it's like they're mocking me)
8.) Bond Chicks (they're hot and out of my league... dammit)
7.) Stupid People (they piss me off)
6.) The speed limit (should only be a suggestion)
5.) People who drive exactly the speed limit (i mean wtf)
4.) People who drive slower than the speed limit in good driving conditions (seriously... it's time to get off the road folks)
3.) Dance Dance Revolution (beating level 572 doesn't make you sexier)
2.) MTV's show Laguna Beach (because the whole place freaks me out and the world revolves around the upper midwest anyway and you know it)
1.) the Metric system (metric system=instrument of communism)

Why the re-recording of songs must Die.

Recently, when ever they've decided to take a break from randomly sueing the consumer for refusing to buy what is generally a piece of crap. I mean no sane person would logically agree to pay 10 to 20 dollars for a CD that's likely to contain on average 3 or 4 songs they're interested in. Break it down that's roughly 5-6 bucks a song.

I'm told that we should use a legal download service to solve this predicament. However legal downloads are almost always heavily ladden with copyright protection making it difficult or impossible to enjoy the music as you would normally, either by downloading a copy-right free illegal version or by ripping it off of a legally bought CD.

I'd also invite the RIAA to accurately report its figures regarding CD sales. Its simple supply and demand. The demand is low because the product often is not worth the steadily increasing asking price, and often the consumer can't afford the luxury of paying for an entire album for the ability to listen to a few songs. Once upon a time every artist took pride in putting together an Album that was great in its entireity, those days are gone and in the world of big music business, putting out singles is the new priority. I ask someone to prove me wrong that this single handidly explains the initial success of file sharing, to which the RIAA's suing of Napster exposed to the general public as a logical alternative to getting ripped off.

The latest casuality of big business music, is the trashing of great music by some kind of compulsion to remake great music. I mean anyone should have the sense to know that no one really wants to hear Mary J. Bliege sing "Walk this Way" or be subjected to Christina Agulara recant "Car Wash." To those with this "George Lucas" type need to re-do great works all I can offer is some advice from what seems to be "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away..."

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Why I hate Michael More

Michael Moore is set to release Fahrenheit 9/11. A movie that will no doubt have a substantial impact on the way certain Americans will view the upcoming election. His movies may be full of interesting facts and raise many good questions but at the same time, all they do is raise questions and spew propaganda. For example, his last epic, bowling for columbine, was critically acclaimed for its "damming" portrayal of the reasons behind the columbine shooting. Upon watching this movie, I was dumbstruck by how well Mr. Moore manipulates people by praying on their emotions. It?s really unbelievable. He brings up situations in a way that will achieve the desired atmosphere for his films. Never mind that there might be a rational explanation for something, Michael Moore's philosophy seems to be, why answer the questions when we can let an audience sensationalized by the topic, let their imaginations run wild in the search for an explanation.

Basically I'm sick and tired of people treated Michael Moore as some kind of martyr. He is as far from the average Joe as David was from Goliath. The man is a billionaire with the unfortunate ability to unfair prejudice people by pasting together the facts however he sees fit. I?m not saying the world is one big happy family, I?m just saying the world doesn?t need Michael Moore editing down history into a propaganda speech.

The Emoticon Agenda

The story of the emoticon began long ago, when some unfortunate soul put a heart on a letter. Since then, man has been the unfortunate perpetuator of what has become known as the emoticon syndrome. This debilitating and highly contagious medical condition has plagued man for centuries. Early Symptoms include, an unusually high usage of smiley faces in chat rooms, as well as usage of complex chartroom lingo which eventually leads the subject to create pictures to facilitate easier usage. Longer fraises such as LMAOROFL (roughly translated to laugh my ass off roll on the floor laughing) are eventually translated into cute and yet endlessly annoying little pictures that will eventually rise to power.

These emoticons must be stopped. Some Emoticoners say, "I'm okay, I can stop anytime," while others say "if I was addicted, I'd know." Here in lies the true evil of emoticons, they're like the Hot Pockets' theme. In moderation they can be fun, even enjoyable you might say. But slowly they take over a person's subconscious. At first a subject might draw one or two emoticons a day, but eventually it becomes and addiction, and the subject finds they can't stop. I've heard recovering addicts say "I found myself only going to parties that I knew were going to have emoticons, it was then I realized I needed help." The problem is help is hard to come by. Few emoticon clinics exist and those that do are full to the brim.
The easiest way to stem the tide of this emerging epidemic is prevention. Now its one to say you're going to use prevention, it's quite another thing to actually use it. I've talked with Pfizer at great length and together we've been able to come up with a simple three step process.

One: wear orange dots

Two: depending on success of step one, increase size of orange dots as necessary

Three: Utilize dots of different colors

Also there is a patch available which can last as prescribed for any length of time depending on the severity of the case. These patches have the added advantage of giving the user the peace of mind of not having to wonder if they put their dot on today.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I come before you today with the intention of opening your eyes to this impending epidemic. The road will be long and hard, but I believe that if we stand united against emoticons, then good shall prevail. For all it takes for emoticons to triumph is for good men and women to remain silent.

Why the 80's rocked

Beverly Hills Cop...
This movie is the pinnacle of awesome. I mean everything about this movie screams awesome. It has all the essentials...
Fast Cars, Beautiful Women, and a complete udder lack of weird al Yankovic, (on a side note the unusally low percentage of asian chicks may offend jesse)

The music....
I will for all of time and then some say the music of the 80's was awesome. I mean how many presidents can make life so depressing that a few hair bands were able to compensate with the help of crack to make everything a little more bearable and be responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer. Sorry folks, there is no music like 80's music.

aTari...
who knew a joystick and a button could change the world. On that note, asteroids shall forever remain the pinnacle of video game development.

Regan...
Despite all his shortcommings, Reagan still managed to keep the atmopshere shaky by saying "my friends we launch the missles in five minutes" and was able to joke about it. Good man that Reagan

A flock of seagulls...
what's not to love?

Guiding the sheep away from the slaughter

I've been having an ongoing argument with a moron on DA ((who out of respect for their dignity or whats left of it, shall remain nameless) who is uterly conviced that studios put out cd's that aren't forcused around for the most part two or three songs. I'm sorry, but buying one cd is one thing, but completely ignoring the fact that that 12 to 20 bucks you just spent on a disc will for the most part consist of two or three songs you love, and 9 or more you've probably never heard of and more likely than not can't stand. The music industry depends on people who dont realize how little music they're paying for.

Walking the wire, and why mobilizing a voter base is a tight-wire rarely run by the wisest of people

Once again Americans are faced with a terribly interesting duo of candidates to the big chair. John Kerry is rapidly taking fire for not being democratic enough. Any democrats who feel they have the wrong guy running ought to take a long hard look at themselves and the beat bush frenzy that substatially boosted Kerry above Dean after Dean's not so important speech. While I still intend to vote for Bush, Im still less than thrilled about the upcoming election because it promises to have all the crap of 2000 and then some. If Kerry is to weather this storm, he's going to need to distance himself from Bush, because he stands to lose a substantial amount of his voter base to a third party candidate.
