Hey Now you're an all-star


So we launched a first strike against Saddam and didn't seem to do anything except kill a few Iraqi soldiers and further alienate the world from us. Am I the only one thinking striaght. What is wrong with Bush's mind? Has he been psychological cleared to run the country because I think he has a few screws loose, but that could just be my opinion. I know that Wil is against the war and he is receiving no end to the amount of flak people are giving him for being anti-war. Gee, I thought that this was a country based on freedom of opinion, I could be wrong though *sarcasm* I think that a majority of people in places of power are ignorant, stupid, and/or crazy. Bush is all three. Iraq will still be there, and short of nuking the place, there will always be some crazy messed up person to take Saddam's place of leader, how do we expect to win this damn thing exactly. "If it bleeds it leads" as the news slogan goes, and yes it seems that ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN etc has taken five minutes worth of news information and has decided to expand it to a full day coverage, including a timeline of Iraq. Frankly I'd rather watch a Barney/SpongeBob/Godawful tubing marathon rather than watch these talking heads. I'm going to leave this planet and start a new colony as soon as I collect labor and about 6 billion dollars, so send donations to me c/o The Ark, and hopefully we can make it out in time

Guy Gone Wild


Whooo! Spring Break! Guess what I did! YARD WORK! WOO! At least I got paid hourly by my Dad this time instead of monthly, so that was a much better incentive, and I actually did work. Sure I was only out there for two hours and some change, but I did work. I managed to pull out small trees with my bare hands like Hercules! Well, ok I'm exaggerating, they were actually weeds, but they were huge.


Well I was going to have a Reader's Digest Quiz but I lost it, so the first person to answer this one question gets a shout out

This Big

in my next post, and the question is:

Where can anyone but you sit?
