The Title is Somewhere Here.

I can’t think of anything meaningful to write, so I may as well just start making list, since it makes my entries look big and depending on the reader, may be somewhat worthwhile and interesting. Yeah, that sentence was bound to end sometimes.

Anyways, here is Jackie Tam’s All-Time, Desert Island, Top Ten Graphic Novels, Collections, or Trade paperbacks:

Hit and Miss.

If you were a conservative, you would assume in opposing President Obama’s new Supreme Court pick, Sonia Sotomayor, it’s best to try not to sound like a racist, regardless of how subtle the remark may be. And one way to do that might not be to mistaken the nominee’s first name with a stereotypical one that is automatically assume with people of a particular racial background.

But that’s just me, and well not at all with Mike Huckabee.

Schadenfreude

It would have been soo much easier and saved everyone alot of time and effort (especially to get all those experts to perform the acts, and the medical professionals in case for the unforeseen) if only conservative talk show host Eric “Mancow” Muller would have just taken our word, when we liberals said from the beginning, waterboarding is torture.

Instead of believing it as some kind of “weak on terror, want to appease terrorist, anti-American” rhetoric that usually immediately pops into the mind of many conservatives when reality and the facts are being espoused by their opposition goes against what they claim to believe.

Exciting. Not.

I had a dream last night where I was using the self-service checkout machines in Pathmark. That was it. Nothing else.

Yeah, with the last two days before I hand in my final paper for the semester, my brain is not even trying anymore, and decided to leave the answer  machine on and call it a week. Effin’ bastard.

It’s what Jesus would have wanted.

And Fareed Zakaria’s prediction slowly comes into fruition.

Yes America, if China can open the first sex-related theme park, I’m sure being the first to make the Atomic Bomb and the wonderful (but yet, factual flaws) Creation Museum, we can do it bigger and better.

Think about all the huge amounts of money we can reap from cornering the market of catering to the need of the sexuality repressed closeted Christian Republicans.

It’s a Conspiracy.

I was told this evening exactly two hours ago Brian Michael Bendis and Matt Fraction was in Midtown Comics – not for any schedule appearances or signing, but on their own volition- and that of course, pissed me off.

So instead of me being able to meet Bendis, having the chance to talk to him about his work and maybe getting him to laying his John Hancock on a couple of my books, I was suck in class for a two hour discussion on some subject that I couldn’t possibly care less about.

Not to mention the fact that tonight was suppose to be the last day for my Wednesday class. And all of required of me was to drop off my final paper, and I was done for semester. For something that I assume wouldn’t last no longer than five minutes, it went for on two hours. Fuckin’ great.

Just for record, even though I already own all four trades of the Alias series, I would have personally bought it again just so I can get Bendis to sign it.

Huck America!

For starters I like Governor Mike Huckabee. I don’t think he’s a bad person, but instead he just hold wrong views on the issues that affect our country. It still doesn’t mean I’ll vote for him. But what he said on a recent article in CNN Political Ticker doesn’t any sense.

Huckabee predicts if the Republican Party in its current status is on way of becoming “irrelevant as the Whigs”, and in order it regain it’s national status it must broaden its outreach. But the conflicting message is, his remedy for doing so is to refuse to moderate it’s conservative agenda, and most specifically, of course, do not do anything that might loses the party’s bases of traditional conservative voters.

I find that to be unlikely to happen, if the Republican Party’s goal to broaden its party’s support by refuse concession to appeal to those moderate and independent voters. Especially since right now, because of the Obama election, the main important voting bloc is young adults, who as it right not aren’t appealed by the Republican message of anti-gay and anti-choice. Just appealing to the older white voters who hate liberals and think they are socialist and may win elections for certain states, but in the long run  it wouldn’t work since the minority voters with each passing year is growing larger and larger, while the white vote is not.

Respectfully, unless Huckabee has some magic dust that he can use to throw at the voters and make them forget the past eight years of the Bush Administration, and turn their outlook to the Maggie Gallagher of the world, then I don’t think the Governor knows what he’s talking about.
