The Wind

I am offically sick of the election

In these waning days until November the 4th, I have become sick of this campaign. Nothing talked about has any bearing in the real world. Its all a wash right now. Vote Obama. That's all I have to say. Obama Obama Obama... then I can go back to reality and not how much money somebody spent on a dress or whose on Saturday Night or whose sucks at bowling, and idiot definitions of socialism, Joe the mother fucking plumber, BBQ's and men named Hussein.... I'm sick of it right now... burnt out... I want to think about things again, not just react to various crazy gibberish....

Duck and cover.

The Black McCain's

Well, it turns out that way back when, a man named McCain owned slaves. His great great great great grandson is running for president. I guess they have invited McCain to family reunions but "Johnny don't like no parties" (I'm paraphrasing the statement released.) I bet he wish he had gone to those over the years, considering the unique opportunity. I think it would be a good experience, I mean no harsh feelings right. Johnny didn't do it, why not meet them, maybe even say "sorry, for my forebears injustices upon you." Why not? He can BBQ some ribs, get some boozes, and party hardy. I know Johnny boy McCain loves a party, and potential voters.

Funny News Story

I could not stop laughing at this photo and had to post it. Its from the Salem News. His name is Popeye! and he's dressed as a biker.

Of Rocks and Men

Okay, allow me a little tongue and cheek analogy. I'm fresh from a lecture on rock deformation, and couldn't help to think about it in terms of the election. When rocks are brittle and shallow, then are exposed to tension; they create a dip slip fracture. When rocks are deep and heated they fold rather then crack. So lets say the economic crisis is the tension put on our rocks (Obama and McCain.) McCain is running a shallow campaign, and is very ridged to change. His campaign has cracked under the pressure, he is our dip slip. Obama is running a deep campaign, and he has been exposed to some real heat (the Bill Ayers relationship.) Obama's campaign has shifted and folded, but has maintained its original makeup. Obama is our anticline fold, which is a fold that has an upward thrust.

McCain-Dip Slip











Obama- Anticline

William "bill" Ayers and The Weather Underground

Seriously, The Weather Underground. okay well here's the movie. good flick, about 2hrs. One of the guys in the terrorist organization was on Jeopardy. Another was a daughter of a former republican congressmen. There's a couple books about them. I recommend them all, they are an interesting development in American culture.

The best trailer for a movie I've seen

This is really the funniest and best trailer I've seen. I'm not so sure if the movie is gonna be any good but man I can watch this thing ten times in a row and still laugh and cry cause its all so real

Don't Panic

Here The DOW average over the past 100 years (to present month) . I don't think we will drop anywhere near 1929. not even close.

Election Results in 1912

The election of 1912:

Candidates and number of votes:

Democrat: Woodrow Wilson-6,296,284 -41.8%




Republican: William Howard Taft-3,486,242- 23.2%




Progressive: Theodore Roosevelt-4,122,721-27.4%




Socialist: Eugene Victor Debs-901,551-6.0%





Socialist Labor: Arthur Elmer Reimer-29,324-0.2%




Prohibition: Eugene Wilder Chafin-208,156-1.4%





Look at how diverse this election was compared to this recent election. Three major candidates, all great presidents in they're own right. and the socialist candidate still gets nearly a million votes. What happened to that?

Top secret Governor Palin campaign tactics

I found this video in a top secret location some where in the depth of the McCain campaign. This is was the prototype to Sarah Palin. Its very clear how the campaign is is molding her to this image. Sorry this video is full of scientific terms, some of which are hard to grasp, but if you can get through it I feel you will understand the Governor and stop making fun of her. She a very serious politician.

One Alaskian I'd vote for

Hey If you like people from Alaska I gotta guy for you:

Fun Facts about Alaska

The youngest state in the union founded in 1959. Joe Biden is 17 years older then the State. It is also the one of the smallest states with a population of 670,053. Delware Has :853,476 Rhode Island has: 1,067,610. 10.0% of Alaska's population live in poverty. Residents are actually paid to live in the state, this year they received $1654.00. 80% of Alaska's revenue comes from oil. It holds 3% of the world's oil supply. The United States uses 25% of the world's oil. The Exxon Valdez is the largest oil spill in US History. Recently the Supreme Court lowered the money Exxon had to pay of the original $507.8 million settlement. The Valdez remained in service until 2002. The affects of the spill are still visible almost 20 years later. In one quarter year Exxon made $10.7 billion thats $1,300 a second. Since the Valdez, Exxon has made more then any company in history; $404 billion in 2007 alone. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) became federally protected under General Dwight D. Eisenhower at the same time Alaska became a state in the Union.


and now some fun Eisenhower quotes:
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid." President Dwight Eisenhower, November 8, 1954

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This is, I repeat, the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron. ... Is there no other way the world may live? " -"The Chance for Peace" - a speech to the American Society of Newspaper Editors

"Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense. We have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security alone more than the net income of all United States cooperations -- corporations.Now this conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence -- economic, political, even spiritual -- is felt in every city, every Statehouse, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet, we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources, and livelihood are all involved. So is the very structure of our society.In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."-From his farewell address.

The Veep Debate

I'd like to quote John Nance Garner-
The Vice President is "Not worth a bucket of warm piss."
Cactus Jack was FDR's VP.
Here's another one from Cactus Jack:
"I gave up the second most important job in Government for eight long years as Roosevelt's spare tire."-Saturday Evening Post, 1963

The Dead Flag Blues

the car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
and a dark wind blows
the government is corrupt
and we're on so many drugs
with the radio on and the curtains drawn
we're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
and the machine is bleeding to death
the sun has fallen down
and the billboards are all leering
and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles
it went like this:
the buildings tumbled in on themselves
mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble
and pulled out their hair
the skyline was beautiful on fire
all twisted metal stretching upwards
everything washed in a thin orange haze
i said: "kiss me, you're beautiful -these are truly the last days"
you grabbed my hand and we fell into it
like a daydream or a fever
we woke up one morning and fell a little further down -
for sure it's the valley of death
i open up my wallet
and it's full of blood

This is from a song by Godspeed you black emperor. It reflects the mood I was in after watching the Senate pass the $700,000,000,000.00 bailout.

The best Idea I've heard yet!

To bailout or not to bailout? That is the question. Well it turns out Jordan might have and idea. Convict stockbrokers! 46 Companies have been charged because "their actions are considered harmful to the national economy." If convicted they face 15 years in prison. It is something that I could see a lot people getting behind. Image this scene, FBI charging into the stock market, CEO put on televised trails and sent to Attica State.
