On a positive note...
The Atlanta Falcons are 6-2 at midseason
YEAH!!!!!!
Gratuitous Cheerleading Photograph, I had to include this of course.
As I wrote in my 9/19 post this happened EXACTLY as I thought it would
Looking ahead, there is little chance that the Falcons will not win the NFC South this season.
I see them losing 3 games the 2nd half. The Giants, A divisional foe, and the Seahawks in the last week (will be resting people as they will have the division locked up)

4 More Years...
It is 9:27am on Thursday November 4, 2004 and I am coining a new word to describe future events LegisHate. Inspired and better stated than me in squished like grape.
As I read blogs of people devasted by the events on tuesday (myself included) I challenge all of us, As a pathetically (self imposed) under-represented population not to stick your head in the sand for the next 40% of a decade.
I have never met a democrat or a republican. Most are demblicans or rupublicrats. conservibels or libertives. What we are is a patheticically organized huge f'n voter block who plays playstation 2 on election day.
We are the people 18-35 who are looking to better ourselves through education, seeking companionship, beginning a family, starting businesses, looking for good jobs, trying to buy a home, and save up for retirement, looking to stay healthy.
The whoa is me generation. I am a member, most of you are too.
More to come

For some curious information.
It is ok to read somthing or hear something that you might disagree with.
It is ok to try to understand why people do horrific things.
You might learn something. One of my favorite shows is the 700 Club and anyone who knows me knows that it is not because I am an evangelical.

Coming to terms with some histility... sorry in advance
Soccer Moms (security moms), 18-25 year olds.
You had much at stake in this election. Frankly you blew it, You F'n blew it.
42% of 18-24 year olds cast a ballot in 2000 the results are much the same this year they say that 10% of the total electorate was 18-25. Had they all voted could have been 20% of the electorate. Not Bush wins in a landslide victory (not bush = another post another day). I cannot believe that on a day when what you think and what you value is more important that what the pope thinks (not eligible to vote) or is equivalent to what the president thinks. One day out of 1461 days you help control the fate of the world, and you sit home and play Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. Shitheads.
Soccer Moms (security moms) - here is a scenario, i should have expected this from you.
Owning a SUV will keep me safer on the road (no it will not, learning to drive safely will though)
Before you have your next meal, come and see me, I will give you a poker chip, We will call it a security chip. Whenever you have it in your pocket it will keep you from choking. Although we fully expect choking in the future the chip will protect you.
Bush was president when our country was attacked, we were attacked because of our 25 years of foreign policy against arab nations by democrats and republicans. Now Bush is going to keep you more safe? How, how is Bush going to keep you more safe than not-bush? We were attacked while he was in power, it is clear to assume if bush knew of the specific plot he would have stopped it. He did not know!! Bush never ran in 2000 as the National Security President, it was thrust upon him by the events of the day. George Bush is not a security chip,
Will we be less safe in 2008 when he cannot run again? Oh shit term limits.
No draft, so long as we are not attacked again (that is the honest political answer) Here is what they say. Right now, we do not see any reason for a draft, we will not have a draft.
Everyone admits and knows we will be attacked again (even with security chip?) we do not know when. The draft will come shortly thereafter. Every presently 18 year old and soccer mom will bitch and complain about it, why am i, why are my children being sent over to die.
THe answer is because you blew it!
A apologize for the pessimism, I am pretty discouraged now. We have a president and a cabinet that is the end of the era that began with nixon and the advent of modern day terrorism, the first time in recent history where the incumbant has no need to be accountable to anyone because they all will not try to prop someone up for election in 2008. Congrats.

Stupid Sexy Exit Polls
I cannot believe the emotions I have been put through over the past 24 hours.
Tuesday AM "I have accepted the fact that Kerry will lose a very close race but I am holding out a 33% chance that he might win"
Tuesday 3pm holy crap the exit polls have come out huge for Kerry, wow even Tucker has said that people do not wait in line for more of the same. Every0ne even Drudge is showing large margin for Kerry.
Wednesday early AM, what the &#*!
I really am struggling with the idea that 51% of the country overall think that Bush is their guy.
I am trying to figure out how it has come to this point.
I am struggling to figure out why no imcumbant NYS assemblymen or senator lost.
My only early conclusions is this.
American's continue to be afraid. Most americans are afraid of most if not all of these
Afraid of terrorism
Afraid that somehow we are not secure
Afraid that our guns are going to be taken away from us
Afraid that taking the word god out of the pledge of allegiance will somehow degrade our country
Afraid of anyone of non christian faith
Afraid of anyone not born in the United States
Afraid of anyone with any pigment in their skin (irregardless of citizenship)
Afraid that Medicare or Social Security are somehow going to be taken away from us, (in an old cranky voice "I want prescription drugs" )
Afraid of anything but the status quo
The difference in this election was more than who best calmed their fears but rather the candidate who instillled the most fear in the alternative candidate. Ladies and Gentlemen 4 more years.
I have 4 more years of saying, Don't complain to me, I voted for the other guy.
