I Suck I Know

I am the worst blogger ever. Just when i think that I am about to get back into the groove its like BAM, something happens and I stop blogging. I actually almost forgot my username and password to my blogger account.
Personally I think everyone should have a blog. I mean it is such an easy way for everyone to keep up with one another. I can tell everyone I know my opinion on something at once. And I can read everyone else's opinion on that or similar topics. But that's asking too much. I still can't get all of my friends to sign-up for stupid ol' myspace.

Anyway, I watched the movie "Man of the Year" last night. It has Robin Williams and Laura Linney in it. It wasn't extremely funny or anything, but it made some excellent points about politics, big business, lobbyist, and oil. It dogged political campaigns, ad revenue and spending, and behind-the-scenes favors. And then it capped it all off by proving that no matter what, all serious contenders for political office are basically the same people. Cookie cutter representatives.

This cookie-cutter issue is none more apparent than the coming Presidential race. The biggest "what's the difference" issue is in the democratic party. Hillary Clinton vs Barack Obama. A woman versus a black man. Hmmmm....couldn't be more different, right? Wrong they couldn't be more alike. Thy have voted the same or nearly the same on every single issue they have faced in the senate. The biggest difference: Clinton supported going to war, but now supports a gradual pull-out of the troops in Iraq. While Obama never supported the war, he too supports a gradual pull-out of the troops in Iraq. Other issues are identical as well, but the main issue at stake is the war. No other topic will hold as much weight this time around as what to do with our involvement in Iraq.

This war-heavy election could easily be won by democrats if they would cease the in-fighting. People seem to be tired of a winless war. But if the dems can't get their heads out of their asses long enough another central figure in the war on terror might become our next president. Rudy Giuliani. You remember him, right? He was the mayor that so delicately handled the 9-11 tragedy. He is also responsible for cleaning up the city of New York and making it an attractive, safe, tourist friendly city again. And if you take him too lightly he might sneak up on you.

Ok, enough politics. I promise to write more. I swear it. But only if you promise to read it.
