I'm Back, the World's Ending

First off, I know I've been away from this blog for far too long. The short explanation is that I got a new job and was very busy for a few months. Who knows if I'll have much time to blog even now, but I felt like posting, so here goes nothing.

Since I've been gone the presidential primary season has passed, apocalyptic doom has hung over our heads, the economy has fallen sharply, American corporatism has grown more blatant, gas is raping our wallets, Bush and congress continue to fail miserably, articles of impeachment have been read in the House against Bush, George Carlin died, Tim Russert died, Bill O'Reilly still lives, fist jabs have terrorized the country, and Jesus returned with his raptor horde to cleanse the world. There's more, but my brain has subconciously supressed it so that I don't get an anerysm or throw my computer through the window.

Thank god the primary season is over. Now we can finally focus on the real issues, such as terrorist fist jabs and whose wife is hotter (or which one is the trollopy cunt for that matter). Then Obama commited the cardnal sin of voting for the new and improved FISA bill and enraged the Internet. Despite this, Obama is still many orders of magnitude greater than dasteredly McCain. If you're somehow still an idealist in this country of apathitic pessimism, you could always vote for someone like Bob Barr.

On the side of the economy, we are all doomed. With talks within the government and Federal Reserve of eating up the biggest mortage companies in the country, we are certainly headed in a downward spiral of economic ruin and corporate facism (I can't really decide if it's facism or just complete incompetance, not that they are mutually exclusive). High oil prices aren't helping either, but at least we are seeing a downard trend vehicle use for personal transporation. But, since our economy has such integral links with oil, such news is not much solace.

Kucinich finally read the articles of impeachment against Bush in the House of Representatives, not that the media really covered it at all. I always thought that offically bringing up impeachment in Congress was an important matter, but I could just be niaive.

George Carlin's death was really too bad. He was a great comedian and spoke a lot of truth through his standup work. Thanks for all the laughs.
