I don’t know what it is, but right now I just have this feeling of meh and I really don’t care about what’s going on in the world around me. Sure I listen and watch the news and I am aware of everything going on but I really don’t care.
I mean everyone is bitching about fuel prices yet no one is offering a solution to the problem.
Everyone is kissing Obama’s ass as if he’s this second coming of JFK and if God forbid he’s elected he will usher in all this change when we know he won’t do jack shit.
McCain is desperate to seem independent so he’s offering up all these idea’s but we know if he’s elected that he won’t do any of them at all.
It’s just like who really cares.
Things will get worse, but like I said no one will do anything about it.
Well on a side note, the world lost George Carlin over the weekend. Comedy just won’t be the same.
In remembrance of him, watch this bit of his on The Sanctity of Life from his Back In Town special from 1996.

Fred Phelps says George is in hell. Well if he is, Friday Night open mic night must be fun with him, Lenny Bruce, Richard Jenni, Richard Prior, and so many others.
I’d rather be in hell if a guy like Fred Phelps is in heaven.

So tonight was “the end” of the Democratic nomination process as Barack Obama has apparently won the nomination. I say apparently because I’ll be damned if I know how the DNC system works. I mean when it comes to elections in general, its all about who gets the major urban area’s because no one really gives a shit about all those hicks in the rural parts anyway…![]()
Hillary claims to be the real nominee because she won the so called hard places. If they did it county by county which I think its the most idiot friendly system there could possibly be, Hillary would have won the nomination in a land slide. But alas thats not how these nominations work and thats why we’re stuck with an inexperienced socialist liberal and a crazy old man.
Well I for one don’t believe Hillary is done. She might be playing nice right now, but remember the Clinton’s are some of the most conniving people in the entire world. Believe me she has a back up plan to get that nomination one way or another.
One way she might get it (even if her fingerprints aren’t on it) is a reported video that shows Michelle Obama railing on white people dropping the Whitey bomb. Some say if this tape exists it will be the “October surprise” to take Obama down before the general election.
I say if the tape exists, play it now. Holding onto a trump card like that for to long might have a negative effect. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not about to support McCain. Personally I don’t like McCain because I think the bus for him to be President has long since passed.
So I don’t believe Hillary is done quite yet. I mean it doesn’t matter who gets the nomination, the Dems are winning this year. People are so sick of the way everything is we need a change. Only problem is there isn’t going to be any change.
Obama can’t change shit and neither can Hillary or McCain. It’s just about who is the lesser evil.
Of course if more people voted for Ron Paul, at least the Republicans would have had a fighting chance. McCain is gonna get to blitzed come November it won’t even be funny.
Maybe if we’re all lucky, people will take Bob Barr seriously and his run for the President. There is such a desperate need for a third or forth party candidate right now. Someone who can clearly be a choice for real change because as Lewis Black said Democrats suck and Republicans blow.

In case you didn’t hear, President Bush made a stop in Saudi Arabia to beg King Abdullah to increase Saudi oil production and The King practically laughed at him saying he sees no need to.
Oil as it stands right now the price of Oil is $126.29 a barrel.
There’s many theories as to why it costs so much. Obviously the demand is high. Of course there’s also the pitiful state of the American dollar right now. Countries are not selling oil in US Dollars anymore and that effects the price greatly.
Right now here in America, the price of Gasoline which is our current biggest concern is around an average of $3.79 a Gallon. I can tell you personally here in New York, its well over $4.00 a gallon in places. Now I know the Europeans are scoffing at us because they pay double that in fuel costs due to huge taxes.
Of course they don’t have nearly the demand we do. The Europeans have learned to drive cars for economy, not quality. But we American’s like them big and fast so I doubt anyone will start driving a Fiat anytime soon.
Hybrids are becoming popular, but the whole gas/electric deal doesn’t solve our problems. There’s a good documentary about who killed the electric car. GM apparently had a really good one, but the oil lobbyists got them to shut down production and they destroyed the cars.
Personally I believe the solution is Hydrogen fuel cells. I know the Ethanol lobby isn’t keen on them, but these things have been proven to work. People put them in their homes and actually sell energy back to the state. If we’re not going to drill where we have huge reserves of gas and oil then we need to improvise. Then again most people probably can’t get past the word Hydrogen. You think that and you think there will be mini Hindenburg disasters from car crashes and thats all it will take to sink that.
Natural gas probably would be a good solution to. I know all the buses here in NYC run on that. We have huge quanties of natural gas off the cost, but by law because of environmental reasons we can’t touch it.
We need to do something and fast. Oil will hit $150 or even $200 a barrel and next thing you’ll know gas will be $5 dollars a gallon.
All I know is begging the Saudis for some more oil isn’t the best solution.

File this one under you have to be fucking kidding me. But when it comes to Iran sadly we are not kidding because as we know by now, the Iranian leadership has no sense of humor.
Apparently the Iranian religious types are going to try and take down Barbie yet again because it promotes western values of wearing make up, swim suits, and dear god all mighty mini skirts. I mean reading something like the above article is good for a laugh when you think these people can’t possibly be serious and then you realize they are serious.
We’re probably going to attack Iran sometime in the near future. The Bush administration will claim it is because Iran is the reason for all the attacks in Iraq. Probably to a point that is true. But you know what, we could save ourselves a few trillion dollars and thousands of dead American solders if the Iranian people just rose up and took out all their leaders themselves.
I mean we in the United States revolted from England over far less. How can the Iranian people put up with this bullshit. Ok I understand Islam has it’s quirks BUT WHERE TALKING ABOUT A BARBIE DOLL HERE.
You want to be taken seriously by the western world, well don’t do stupid stuff like this. From what I understand the last revolution in Iran was from the youth who were tired of living under The Shah. Well if you guys keep doing stupid stuff like this and supresing the youth which is the backbone of your country you might find yourselves in the mist of being hung in town squares just as you seem to like to do women for being raped.
Good God a Barbie doll. What will the morality police think of next.

I found this video on a board that I go to. It’s a US Solider talking about why he’s quitting the Army and supporting Ron Paul.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDZLK8xXBRw
All I can say is Amen and I wish more people would listen to Ron Paul. With each passing day the constitution gets pissed on and it needs to stop.
And if you think things are bad now, just wait till the stock market tanks. All the artificial money they keep pumping in can only do so much. When it goes it’s gonna be messy.

The desperation of the Communist Red Chinese never ceases to amaze me as it’s now coming out that the Chinese Government is ordering all monks, students, civil workers, and everyone else in Tibet back to school for “patriotic re-eduction".
In America and the rest of the world we call that brainwashing.
I mean China is doing everything they can to piss off the rest of the world. Ok granted America is guilty of the same thing, but at least you don’t see us brainwashing people who go against us.
Personally I’m amazed how much the people of Tibet have put up with. People have said it was worse before China took over, but you know what I’m pretty sure at this point they would rather go back to living under the Dali Lama rather then the iron fist of China.
I fear how the future is going to go. This is just the start of a long line of tensions. Right now it’s China telling the rest of the world to go fuck it self over Tibet. Next it will be over Taiwan and I just can’t wait for the Chinese goon squads to censor the media during the Olympics even though they swear on their little red books that it will be all open and free.
Well to the people of Tibet, all I can say is just pay the Chinese lip service. Make them believe you believe that patriotic bullshit they are going to be spewing on you. It’s the best way to fight them. You can’t win a physical war, but you sure as hell can win a mental one.
Play the mind games. The human game of chess is more fun then any actual war.
Yesterday Kosovo declared it’s independence from Serbia in a move to finally that many hope will end the fighting between the Serbs and Albanians. But odds are it won’t because when you’ve been fighting for 2,000 years why stop (ie see the Middle East).
Now you would think this is a good thing, but in reality we just moved a foot closer to full filling alot of biblical prophecy about nuclear war. See the Russians (and by Russians I mean Putin and his regime) are not happy about this. They are demanding no one recognize this. The Serbs are saying Kosovo will never be free as long as they are breathing. Add to this the fact that we are putting missile battery’s in Poland and possibly The Ukraine and well what we have here is a slow rolling fire that is getting gasoline dumped on it.
Now if you really want to be annoyed, yesterday while the celebrations and threats were happening not one of the cable news networks were covering this. It was round the clock coverage on Hillary and Obama. We’re inching towards war with Russia and it only got a brief mention at the most.
There is a reason why we Americans are so ignorant of the world around us. It’s because the media doesn’t cover it. I bet if Palestine pulled a move like this and Israel said it would never recognize it there would have been round the clock coverage. Hell if the southern part of Iraq say up and joined Iran there would be coverage.
But just because it’s Eastern Europe it’s not that big of a deal.
World War 1 started over a hell of a lot less.
Thank God for BBC World and News of The World on my cable system because otherwise I wouldn’t have probably seen this. If you have those channels, watch the news on them. It will be far more interesting then whats on the drive by’s here.
I’ve been trying to figure out what to post as the official first blog on the site and tonight I found an article that I think is a good one to get the ball rolling
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article3001314.ece
Some British DJ by the name of Grooverider got arrested in Dubai for possession of pot and porn. Now for those of you who don’t know where Dubai is, Dubai is the cash cow jewel city of the United Arab Emerates. The richest of the rich go there to flaunt their money in ways we could only dream possible.
For example they have this giant development in the gulf called The World. It’s a series of man made islands shaped to look like countries on earth. For the right price you could own one of these countries. Tommy Lee of Motley Crue reportedly bought Greece and Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were looking to buy part of Africa. I mean you get the idea. It’s a play ground for the elite and ultra rich. But Dubai is also an Arab country thus is has those pesky Muslim laws. Now one thing those laws are specific on is pornography and drugs.
Now even though the Sultan’s who run Dubai welcome anyone with money and lots of it, occasionally they make an example out of everyone just to appease the lowly commoners who have to work for a living. So Groove rider is now facing 4 years in a UAE prison because he brought porno dvd’s and some pot with him. I mean first off who brings dvd’s anymore. In this day and age you can keep that stuff on a flash drive. Secondly I would imagine even in Dubai there would be some guy who could “hook you up".
Me personally I can’t stand drum and bass or anything involving club music in general. But when you have a gig in a cash cow market like Dubai you shouldn’t be such a dumbass especially when the promoter tells you DON’T BRING ANYTHING INTO THE COUNTRY. What ever you want odds are someone can get it for you.
Personally I don’t like the rich Sultan’s who flaunt all their money in the middle east. Most of it made from business deals with them buying up western interests. We (as in westerners) seem to think just because they have all this money and they love western styles that everything we do must be cool with them. Well as this arrest shows you it isn’t.
In the end someone will cut a deal and this Grooverider will walk because Dubai has way to much money from the UK invested in them and vice versa to want to piss them off in anyway. Much like that giant world island project, its a circle of money and nothing can break that circle.
Well the time for talk is over because now we find out who is all hype and who isn’t. I’m glad the damn Primaries are upon us because it seems like the build up for this election has been going on for years now. Last night Iowa had their caucus and all the cable networks treated it like it was the biggest thing in the world.
Maybe in Iowa it is because lets fact aside from this there probably isn’t much of interest in Iowa. Just farming and Slipknot.
On the Democratic side Obama came out on top with Edwards in second and Hillary in third. Any time Hillary loses it’s a good thing and as it was pointed out on Imus this morning, over 70% of the voters voted against her. In the republican side it went down with Huckabee winning and Mitt Romney in second place. Fred Thompson in a mind numbing third, McCain in fourth, and Ron Paul shocking everyone in the main stream media with 105 to close out the top five.
Now the top two were a given, but I’m puzzled as to why so many people voted for Fred Thompson. Sure he’s a good actor and he plays the part well of someone in charge, but his campaign has been lethargic at best. I mean it’s pretty obvious he doesn’t have the heart for the long haul and why so many people voted for a guy who clearly doesn’t want to be there just boggles my mind.
Rudy was there to, but he only got 2% because he said Fuck Iowa, I’ll win it in the important states like Florida. My theory is if your gonna run for President, just because you only have to win a couple states to win the whole thing doesn’t mean you should throw it in everyone’s face. Well on the plus side at least Rudy’s platform of 9/11 9/11 9/11 isn’t working anymore.
New Hampshire should be fun to watch. If certain people don’t win odd’s are they will quit because it’s hoping to much to hedge it all on Super Tuesday. Just think folks we only have a couple weeks of this and then the nominees are set and it’s peace and quiet until the conventions.
Oh yeah Britney Spears snapped so take a guess what will be the big story on Fox News today.
I have to start posting more, but to be honest if I have to post just about Hillary and Obama then I might finally go off the deep end. I just can’t take another five months of this shit. We know its gonna come down to a brokered convention and when that happens all hell will break loose. Chances are we’ll see rioting that makes the 68 Convention look pale in comparison. Hillary will pull a power play and get the nomination because of all her cronies who are super delegates.
On the flip side, I’m a Republican. I registered to support Ron Paul but when it comes down to it, I’ll support McCain. But all this lets be nice bullshit and not call anyone names crap is so lame. Go for the jugular. Call Obama a Marxist. Call Hillary an Ice queen. I don’t care.
But thankfully we got distracted from all that as it was revealed that my Governor Elliot Spitzer got cold busted in a big money call girl ring and he ended up resigning over it. Oh the irony wasn’t lost on his enemies like Joe Bruno and most of Wall Street as Mr. Law and Order and ethics did the same exact thing he investigated all of them for.
I only voted for him because there wasn’t anyone worth voting for against him. You have to be an idiot of epic proportions to screw up like this. I mean if you want to get your freak on there are interns, staffer, lobbyists, and other women you can go to. But here he is killing his political career over a high class whore.
Personally, for $5grand an hour I sure hope the sex was money well spent considering he’s dropped close to $100K on this over the last few years.
In the end all I can say is Elliot, you are a schmuck.
I don’t know what it is, but right now I just have this feeling of meh and I really don’t care about what’s going on in the world around me. Sure I listen and watch the news and I am aware of everything going on but I really don’t care.
I mean everyone is bitching about fuel prices yet no one is offering a solution to the problem.
Everyone is kissing Obama’s ass as if he’s this second coming of JFK and if God forbid he’s elected he will usher in all this change when we know he won’t do jack shit.
McCain is desperate to seem independent so he’s offering up all these idea’s but we know if he’s elected that he won’t do any of them at all.
It’s just like who really cares.
Things will get worse, but like I said no one will do anything about it.
Well on a side note, the world lost George Carlin over the weekend. Comedy just won’t be the same.

Woman arrested in Saudi Arabia at Starbucks for sitting next to a man not her husband
Someone want to remind me again why we do business with these people? Why we let them dictate the price of oil or let them buy up our banks and important infrastructure?
I understand that the Saudi’s take that moral law stuff very seriously, but this is just ridiculous. It’s 2008 and women are still being treated like second class citizens over there. I mean all she was doing was sitting at a table using a computer and these nitwits take her away and throw her in jail. She’s humiliated, stripped, and then some Judge makes her plead guilty and tells her she’s going to hell.
You would think with all the money we throw at these people the least they could do is come into the now. I mean God knows they love our music, technology, clothes, and culture but if you ask them to treat women as equals well how dare you. I mean this woman could have faced death if God forbid she really were a rebel and were holding hands or something.
In Iran two sisters face being STONED TO DEATH because they were in a video with men who were not their realtives. No sex or anything…just because they were at a party.
AND WE’RE GONNA GO TO WAR WITH THESE PEOPLE.
Correction. I should say Dubbya and company are gonna get us into a war with them just to distract us from the country crumbling around us.
But come on people, its 2008. It’s not the 1300’s where we burn people at the steak for heresy. Come into the now.

When I read this article earlier about China not going to allow live broadcasts from Tiananmen Square because of all the recent unrest (or struggle for freedom) I couldn’t help but laugh. NBC, Universal, and all these other corporations spent BILLIONS for the rights to the Olympics and they had assurences from the Chinese Government that all would be smooth but now it looks like the Chinese are gonna clamp down on media coverage because God forbid anyone see what they really do to their people “for the good of the country".
As if there wasn’t fun enough, theres this little report from our own State Department to all the tourists going to China for the games
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=080321194857.j01ekw0w&show_article=1
Was there ever any doubt that the Chinese would be monitoring any and all outsiders? The Chinese don’t trust anyone who isn’t beholden to Chairman Mao and the People’s party. Of course the feeling is mutual as I and a good portion of the American people don’t trust the Chinese Government. I mean as it is since last year they’ve been trying to poison us every chance they get and now they want us to believe that they will do a complete 180 for the Olympics.
The thing with Tibet is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to China and what they do to their own people. As bad as America might be, we have nothing on us when it comes to executions, pollution, worker safety, and just about everything else. China has the problem of trying to be a dictatorship while trying to come into the 21st century. Theres over 1 Billion people in China and I would imagine a good portion of them don’t want to live under a system that seemed like a good idea 50 years ago.
Oh sure there might be the illusion of democracy in China someday like there is in Russia right now, but over all the people in charge of China will never give up power.
But for now all we can hope for is the people protesting continue the good fight and continue to stand up to the Communist regime. We American’s would never allow our own Government to do the same to us. It would be a fight to the bitter end if that shit ever happened over here.
Oh yeah I’m boycotting the Olympic Games. I can’t be bothered to watch. I mean first off Team USA basketball is over hyped. Secondly half the people in the games will be on drugs so odds are half of them will be stripped of medals anyway. But mostly I’m boycotting because I don’t want to give China the satisfaction of thinking for a minute I think they are changing for the good.
I welcome all feedback and if anyone can spread this into China through their Internet filters please do so.
OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA. That’s all that’s on the TV. Obama’s minister scared a bunch of uptight white people and that’s all the media wants to cover. Today Obama had to give a speech on race and people are calling it this generations I have a Dream.
You have got to be kidding me. All Obama did today was try to get some heat off him so he can fend off Hillary to try and win Pennsylvania. Hillary as it stands is calling favors as we speak to the Super Delegates and if Obama loses and loses big in Pennsylvania, it will bolster her cause to say he can’t win in the general election because you can’t win with out winning a state like Pennsylvania if its a close race.
But you know what, I don’t care. I can’t take anymore of this crap. There is so much more going on around us and all the media seems to care about at the moment is “are we still the same nation we were 40 years ago".
The economy is about to take a nose dive of epic proportions.
The Chinese are about to massacre thousands in Tibet.
More and more people are losing homes and the price of food is going up by the day. Yet no one seems to care and when people do start to pay attention it will be to late.
We have much bigger problems facing us then race issues. When the markets and economy collapse it won’t matter what you are. Black, White, Asian, Mexican, what ever. We’ll all be up shit creek. The dollar is being destroyed piece by piece and all anyone can talk about is some loud mouth preacher from Chicago.
I heard those clips and I don’t care. I actually agree with some of what he said. It’s only anti-America if it’s the truth staring right at you.
We had best pray that things will not be that bad in the coming days and weeks, but if the markets and economy tank like most feel they will we will be living in our own Great Depression only this time around there won’t be a New Deal to save us.
There are those of us who believe Hillary Clinton is pure evil. Not a damn genuine bone in her body. Everything she does is cold and calculated for a reason only for her gain. Hell when I graduated from BMCC in 2002, the only reason she gave the commencement speech was because the school was right next to the World Trade Center (WTC 7 collapsed onto a building I went to school in). BMCC is the only school in US history to have lost a building due to a terrorist attack she said. So yeah that’s the only reason she was there.
But this Tuesday is Super Tuesday 2 as they are calling it. Texas and Ohio and a couple other states are up for grabs, but if Hillary doesn’t win Ohio or Texas then she is done.
Obama has her on the ropes and he’s going for the knock out. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not on the Obamamania bandwagon like everyone else. But for Hillary to lose this early when EVERYONE had her pegged as the next President…well it’s just awesome.
Of course the whole election is a sham, but these things give us the illusion that we have some sort of say.
Russia unlike us at least makes it clear your vote means nothing.
So here’s to Tuesday and the Stop Hillary Express when it makes it’s final stop.
Now if by some small chance she does eek out a win, it’s because of back room politics, threats, favors, and a hell of a lot of vote rigging and fear mongering.
I wish Ron Paul was running as an independent or something. We need more of a choice between McCain and Obama.
With The Huckster taking a bunch of states in the south, perhaps he’s not so dead in the water. Anyway I did a post purge due to spam but fear not here’s what was deleted only to be put back up.
As I type this I got a nasty cold coming on so I took a claritin. So if this seems more loopy then usual that’s why.
Mick Huckabee has done the improbable as he’s now blowing away Rudy and Mitt in the Iowa polls and he’s actually gaining on them in the national ones. Huckabee unlike Rudy and Mitt does not have their kind of money in the old war chest but with the recent endorsements of Chuck Norris and Ric Flair, The Huckster is actually gaining ground.
Only problem for him is since he’s gaining ground all those little political indiscretions from his past are coming back to haunt him. It seems back in 92 when he was running for the Senate in Arkansas he made the statement that he wondered why people with HIV/AIDS hadn’t been quarantined. It’s a question many people have been asking since the late 70’s and early 80’s when not much was known. But Mike made the mistake of saying this in 1992 when AIDS prevention was at it’s peak. I meanI can remember back in the sixth grade back then learning how AIDS was spread.
Mike made this mistake of sounding like an ill-informed idiot. Of course now he’s spinning saying it was taken out of context. Huckabee is running as an “Authentic Conservative". Basically that means pander to the far right to see who can take away the most civil rights from the gays because they are living an immoral lifestyle and what ever they get is PUNISHMENT FROM GOD.
Mike is a Baptist minister so he has the Evangelical vote locked down since most Evangelicals don’t trust non-Evangelicals (Rudy is somewhat Catholic and Mitt is a Mormon). I personally don’t understand why there is so much mistrust in the religions. While I’m Catholic (though not strict by any sense of the word). I believe that if you believe in Jesus and God in heaven then there shouldn’t be any arguing over the details. I mean we won’t know what’s the right interpretation till we get there to see for ourselves. But Mike is a likable guy and in this race likability means alot especially when your probably going to be facing Satan herself…Hillary Clinton.
But what Mike has with a good sense of humor and personality he fails with common sense. He’s one of those people who doesn’t believe in Evolution because the bible says the Earth is only 6,000 years old at the most. Now I respect differencing opinions, but until we find the Garden of Eden or Noah’s Ark I’m gonna trust that the carbon dating of all the Dinosaur bones is correct and the earth is actually a lot older then 6,000 years old.
I think when it comes down to it, Rudy or Mitt will win the nomination just because they have a lot of powerful people on their side. But if Mike can throw a wrench into the race and make it interesting past Super Tuesday then more power to him.
Of course me personally I’m voting for Ron Paul. While Mike might be likable, he’s to far to the right on some issues for my taste. I just became a Republican, but I’m a New York City liberalish person at heart.
What is Boobs For Freedom? It was born out of a conversation about Gwen Stefani and how she had to cover up in order to play in Malaysia. The radical elements in that we face in that part of the world have a problem with women showing any skin. They claim it is to protect them but in fact we know it’s because they are just insequre about themselves.
Well with tensions rising we here at Blogmageddon figured why not do our part for Freedom. We are for freedom of expression of all kinds and the biggest freedom of expression a woman can have is to dress any way she damn well pleases. That’s how Boobs For Freedom was born.

In case you didn’t hear, President Bush made a stop in Saudi Arabia to beg King Abdullah to increase Saudi oil production and The King practically laughed at him saying he sees no need to.
Oil as it stands right now the price of Oil is $126.29 a barrel.
There’s many theories as to why it costs so much. Obviously the demand is high. Of course there’s also the pitiful state of the American dollar right now. Countries are not selling oil in US Dollars anymore and that effects the price greatly.
Right now here in America, the price of Gasoline which is our current biggest concern is around an average of $3.79 a Gallon. I can tell you personally here in New York, its well over $4.00 a gallon in places. Now I know the Europeans are scoffing at us because they pay double that in fuel costs due to huge taxes.
Of course they don’t have nearly the demand we do. The Europeans have learned to drive cars for economy, not quality. But we American’s like them big and fast so I doubt anyone will start driving a Fiat anytime soon.
Hybrids are becoming popular, but the whole gas/electric deal doesn’t solve our problems. There’s a good documentary about who killed the electric car. GM apparently had a really good one, but the oil lobbyists got them to shut down production and they destroyed the cars.
Personally I believe the solution is Hydrogen fuel cells. I know the Ethanol lobby isn’t keen on them, but these things have been proven to work. People put them in their homes and actually sell energy back to the state. If we’re not going to drill where we have huge reserves of gas and oil then we need to improvise. Then again most people probably can’t get past the word Hydrogen. You think that and you think there will be mini Hindenburg disasters from car crashes and thats all it will take to sink that.
Natural gas probably would be a good solution to. I know all the buses here in NYC run on that. We have huge quanties of natural gas off the cost, but by law because of environmental reasons we can’t touch it.
We need to do something and fast. Oil will hit $150 or even $200 a barrel and next thing you’ll know gas will be $5 dollars a gallon.
All I know is begging the Saudis for some more oil isn’t the best solution.
On Sunday, die hard Ron Paul supporters held what was called Tea Party 07. A Money dontating day to Ron Paul’s campaign and the money bomb as it’s called worked as they shattered the records and raised over $6 Million Dollars in one day. Now to put that into perspective, the only way other candidates have been raising that kind of cash is by sucking up to special interests.
Ron Paul has the people on his side as evident by the money he has raised yet the media continues to ignore him and passes him off as the Howard Dean of 2008. Someone with a fringe base with no real support. Well for someone with no “real support” how is it he’s pulling in more money then the so called “main candidates"? What annoys me the most in all of this is Ron Paul has a good message. Sure I don’t agree with him on everything, but the fact that he is buried by the media proves every conspiracy theory correct that the main stream media does not want him to win.
As it is they are pushing Mike Huckabee. Mike seems like a nice guy and I’m sure he is. But in the end it’s not all about being nice. A lot of people are pushing him because he’s the only “Christian candidate". Considering the mess this country is in right now, ones belief in Jesus is the least of what we should be concerned with. Our economy is in the tank and is getting worse, we’re in a war that the current administration does not want to win, and we’re facing so many other problems I find it laughable that the only thing people seem to care about at the moment is who’s the better Christian.
Ron Paul is by far the best candidate out there, but if you base your opinions strictly on what the media tells you, you wouldn’t know it.
So tonight was “the end” of the Democratic nomination process as Barack Obama has apparently won the nomination. I say apparently because I’ll be damned if I know how the DNC system works. I mean when it comes to elections in general, its all about who gets the major urban area’s because no one really gives a shit about all those hicks in the rural parts anyway…![]()
Hillary claims to be the real nominee because she won the so called hard places. If they did it county by county which I think its the most idiot friendly system there could possibly be, Hillary would have won the nomination in a land slide. But alas thats not how these nominations work and thats why we’re stuck with an inexperienced socialist liberal and a crazy old man.
Well I for one don’t believe Hillary is done. She might be playing nice right now, but remember the Clinton’s are some of the most conniving people in the entire world. Believe me she has a back up plan to get that nomination one way or another.
One way she might get it (even if her fingerprints aren’t on it) is a reported video that shows Michelle Obama railing on white people dropping the Whitey bomb. Some say if this tape exists it will be the “October surprise” to take Obama down before the general election.
I say if the tape exists, play it now. Holding onto a trump card like that for to long might have a negative effect. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not about to support McCain. Personally I don’t like McCain because I think the bus for him to be President has long since passed.
So I don’t believe Hillary is done quite yet. I mean it doesn’t matter who gets the nomination, the Dems are winning this year. People are so sick of the way everything is we need a change. Only problem is there isn’t going to be any change.
Obama can’t change shit and neither can Hillary or McCain. It’s just about who is the lesser evil.
Of course if more people voted for Ron Paul, at least the Republicans would have had a fighting chance. McCain is gonna get to blitzed come November it won’t even be funny.
Maybe if we’re all lucky, people will take Bob Barr seriously and his run for the President. There is such a desperate need for a third or forth party candidate right now. Someone who can clearly be a choice for real change because as Lewis Black said Democrats suck and Republicans blow.

Yeah so the Michigan Primary passed and Mitt Romney won. Big whoop dee fricken doo. Everyone knows these primaries before Super Tuesday don’t mean crap so I’m getting on to more important news that hardly anyone is talking about.
Now if you believe the official story of 9/11 then you know 16 of the 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. There is plenty of evidence that was convinently let out of the 9/11 Report that says members of the Saudi Royal family were directly involved in the planning of 9/11. So the question is why in the hell are we planning to give Saudi Arabia over $20 Billion dollars worth of military hardware?
http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/07/28/saudi.arms/
The proposed sale, first reported in The New York Times, is intended to upgrade the Saudi military’s ability to counter possible Iranian aggression in the Persian Gulf region, the official said.
“This is all about Iran,” said the official, who spoke to CNN on condition of anonymity because discussions with the Saudis are still going on and the arms sale deal has not been completed.
It’s to counter a possible Iranian aggression.
Now don’t get me wrong. I don’t like the government of Iran. I hope one day that the mullah’s and anyone else siding with them are over thrown. But the Iranians are not going to attack anyone. Of course right now President Bush is in the middle east and he’s banging on the war drum saying how much of a threat Iran is and this is the main reason we’re gonna sell all these weapons including our JDam smart bombs to the Saudis…just on the off chance Iran does something.
We went to war with Iraq because we thought Iraq might have weapons and they might do something with them. Now were going to hand to a country that hates us (though they love our money and culture) $20 Billion dollars worth of military hardware. It just doesn’t make any sense. Now obviously the Israeli’s (who have gotten 10 times what the Saudi’s are supposed to get) are a bit concerned with Saudi Arabia getting those weapons because of who those weapons could go to.
In the end congress will rubber stamp this because that’s what they do. The republicans blindly support Bush and the vast majority of Democrats are lying weasels who are so desperate to stay in power they’ll just go along with everything else.
Oh and as if this weren’t enough, Bush asked The Saudi’s to bump up oil production and they responded by basically saying “we’ll do it if we feel like it” and Bush was all ok with that. Man if I were President and I was about to give them $20 Billion in weapons I’d be like “ok now you start making some more oil or you can kiss this deal good bye".
Then again I don’t have any ties to the Saudi Royal family like Bush does so I could get away with that.
Meh soon as we got to Iraq we should have sent every oil tanker we had over there and sucked the place dry. It would have saved us a lot of trouble in the long run. But hey $4 dollar a gallon gas is a good trade off for us because we have to protect the Saudi’s just incase Iran does anything…![]()
Welcome one and welcome all to Blogmageddon. My name is Joe and I am the webmaster of this fine blog. You might be asking yourself just what the hell is Blogmageddon? Blogmageddon is a blog for the rest of us. Most people in my generation are very apathetic to things because for the most part we don’t care. But even people who don’t care still have an opinion and that’s what this blog is for. Politically we are neutral as we will showcase points of view from just about anyone.
Sometimes we might come off as a bunch of raving right wing extremists. Other times we might sound like Pinko Commie’s. All you need to know is if you think Bush is an Idiot, Hillary is Satan, and things have gotten to PC then this blog is for you.
I hope to have the first blog up sometime later today. If your interested in sharing your opinion here then feel free to e-mail me at phantomlordnyc@yahoo.com
To an extent you have to admire Benazir Bhutto. When she went back to Pakistan she had to know that she would not make it out alive. On her first day back, a pair of suicide bombers struck her convoy killing over 140 people. It was a minor miracle she didn’t die then, but yesterday morning fate finally caught up with her.
Her assassination will be viewed by many as the Ferdinand moment of this conflict. To an extent there probably was the same level of conspiracy behind her death as the one around John F. Kennedy’s. The theories are all ready swarming around the internet about why she was killed and most of them aren’t so crazy. I mean for starters the whole Al Qaeda thing is just a joke. They are the big bad boogeyman who is supposed to scare us but after a few years we’ve come to realize it’s nothing but a sham with them. Oh sure there are Islamic extremists who wanted her dead because the last thing they wanted was a woman in charge again. But I don’t believe for a second that this was some grand Al Qaeda plot…that’s giving them people to much credit.
Pervez Musharraf has her blood on his hands. The reports of her not getting the security she needed are directly because of him. Musharraf is a dictator and like most dictators faced with losing power he’ll do what needs to be done to screw over his opposition. He all ready did that when he declared Martial law last month. To an extent keeping Bhutto under house arrest probably kept her alive for a while. It’s a sad situation, but what can you do.
Ron Paul said it best earlier when he said we pick and choose what dictators to support and then we end up turning on them. Musharraf for his own sake better get his shit together because it’s only because of our intervention that he himself hasn’t been shot because there are plenty of people in Pakistan who would love to do to him what happened to Bhutto.
So will all of this be the spark that starts World War 3? I’m pretty sure it will be. The biggest fear right now should be the Pakistani nuclear weapons. If India thinks for a second they are compromised as some reports say they have been, they won’t hesitate for a second to do a first strike and then it’s game on.
Pay attention to all the news coming out of Pakistan over the next couple of days. It’s not going to be good.
