a time for anger
Just watched Bush's new campaign ad. Umm.. first of all, that Hitler ad was not released by MoveOn.org. It was contributed to MoveOn.org which did not officially release it. Secondly, although Bush's ad claims that it's not a time for rage and anger, I think that it is; I mean we were led to war under false pretenses. I think that gives the American public the right to be angry. And last, what's with the calm, peaceful music at the end? Is that to pacify us into voting for Bush? As if to say, don't be angry, vote for Bush. Whatever.. if anything it made me want to go vote Bush out of office right now.
Add to that I just saw Fahrenheit 9/11. I'm too tired to process through the whole thing right now so I'll post about it later. There's just so much in that movie - where to start? For now I'll just say two things. It's been a long time since I've been to a movie where the audience applauded at the end. And the true measure of Moore's latest creation won't be how many awards it wins, but what actions people take having seen it. Although I know it's biased, leftist, and has it's own agenda, if only half of it were true it would be quite damning. It certainly makes me want to go out and do something.
Calm youself!......Trust me on this one, Things political have ALWAYS been f***ed up, it's the very nature of our collective situation. It's great to care, but try not to work yourself into a frenzy. You think the opposition has any less a degree of bullshit?.....NO, just a different flavor (and it NEVER tastes good!)
Love your boyfriend, your new house, your wonderful family, your mediocre job and your devoted big gay brother.....life is good!
Go hug your kitty, slap Jon on the butt, occaisionally think of me, and reflect on the fantastic life that is ALL YOURS!

Wow, I just went and saw Fahrenheit 9/11 tonight, and I don't think I've EVER been at a movie where they applauded at the end. Our Sunday night at 10:30pm was nearly sold out. I thought it was absolutely amazing.
Political Overload!
Just take some time to do something fun and get your mind out of all that political discourse. W is still going to be there f*cking up sh*t when you get back.
