So I'm sure everyone knows by now that California, in their infinite wisdom, overturned the voter's wishes and overturned a ban on same sex marriage. Somehow, the liberals see this is as a blow to conservatism. Let's go over the facts, shall we?

Actually, there's only one. Look:

Proposition 22, the initiative overturned Thursday, passed in 2000 with the support of 61% of California voters. But recent polls have found the state's voters are now evenly split on same-sex marriage.

The liberal courts overturned a voter support of 61%, which was passed in 2000. Did you catch that? The LA Times only just barely did... They managed to tack that little paragraph down on the very, very bottom. It means that the liberal courts don't care what you, the voting citizens want. All that work? Poof! Gone because a judge thought it was in his best interest to nullify something the people wanted... And, somehow, the liberal media thinks this is bad for CONSERVATIVES? Talk about delusional... If anything? This shows people exactly how cavalier the liberals are with the courts. They have no qualms ignoring you to advance their agenda.

You know, polls matter squat. They're unofficial methods of testing the water. What matters are the people who bothered to turn up to vote. But we all know how people enjoy not bothering to vote and then complain and whine when things don't go their way... But let's say that this issue does become a point in the elections? With an even split like that, it could very well make or break a campaign.

It's kind of like what's going on here in Indiana, only we're not so far. Our government hasn't released the bill for voting, yet, and they're perfectly ready to let it stall out and not even let people see it. Why? You know... Why do they do this? If they had any reason to think that the people would vote FOR same-sex marriage, they'd release it and use it to smash us conservatives with the raw numbers. But they're not... They're hiding behind their courts and filibusters and postponing the bill long enough for it to die without seeing the light of day because they're afraid that the people WANT A BAN and to their political agenda, that's simply unacceptable.

Nets Show Scorn for 'Two-Pronged Republican Attack on Obama'

I think it's quite obvious who the mainstream media supports.

Aren't they supposed to be... Objective? Unbiased?

Hmm...

So I'm sure all you liberals out there have heard the "outrageous" claims made by our "incompetent" President about his reasons for not playing golf anymore. Personally, I saw this article when it his the presses yesterday but I thought absolutely nothing of it... Silly me for thinking it would go unnoticed. Even MystBlogs picked it up, imagine that, so I'm going to say what I did in an Anonymous comment I left on the appropriate blog. (I have no Blogger username, nor do I plan on having one, so my apologies for the anonymity. However, the comment wasn't posted, so anonymous comments are filtered, so I don't have a whole lot of remorse.)

One thing I noticed off the bat? The relevant posts didn't bother sourcing the original interview and, instead, copied and pasted someone else's diatribe and then added their own predictable insights. Lucky for you, I'm a thorough little wolfy, and I'm going to provide you a link to the original interview! How about that, eh? For those of you too lazy to click a link, here's the gist of it:

Q: Mr. President, you haven't been golfing in recent years. Is that related to Iraq?

Bush: Yes, it really is. I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be as — to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.

Q: Mr. President, was there a particular moment or incident that brought you to that decision, or how did you come to that?

Bush: No, I remember when de Mello, who was at the U.N., got killed in Baghdad as a result of these murderers taking this good man's life. And I was playing golf — I think I was in central Texas — and they pulled me off the golf course and I said, it's just not worth it anymore to do.

Naturally, the liberal left is going off the walls with how stupid our President is to think that not golfing is being in solidarity as best as he can. Now, I'll admit that it does seem a bit of a stretch the way Mister President presented it, but we all know Bush isn't the best speaker there is. Even the liberal messiah, Obama, (Obamessiah, so I've heard him been called) said there are 57 states and that 100 million people died in the cyclone. So come on... It's not longer fair for liberals to complain about "Bushisms" any longer since they saw fit to completely ignore two major Obamisms. Anyway! To the point:

Do you honestly think that the liberals would ignore it if Bush WAS out playing a game on the course? I'll bet you conservative readers can quite clearly hear the uproar that will cause. Liberals everywhere will whine about how Bush has the audacity to relax and play games while helpless soldiers are cowering under constant threat of destruction by suicide bombers. They would rail about how he has no heart and how he doesn't give a crap about our armed forces fighting for his personal vendetta. Yeah, we all know what would be said. We've heard the tune of liberals long enough to predict future songs.

I'm going to go a bit further and ask what kind of reporter would ask the President of the United States why he's not playing golf. What kind of a question is that? Are you trying to get personal with him? Ask him about his regular life? Obviously not, because the question was loaded: "Is that related to Iraq?" A completely irrelevant question that I don't think he should have bothered answering. But what's done is done and he did answer and the liberals are once again making an incredibly huge deal out of absolutely nothing... Something that they know they would find a problem with him doing the opposite of, too. It's a no-brainer for them. They hate the President. It doesn't matter what he does, they'll find a problem with it because that's what they enjoy doing.

Of course, to those of us with a good head on our shoulders, we look at them and laugh as they make fools of themselves for crying over why the President doesn't golf anymore. Cry on, oh great liberal collective! Cry on, for your great prophet Obama is poised to rule our 57 states with a communist socialist benevolent fist. I mean, he obviously plans for at least Iraq to become a new state. Iran, too, I'd be willing to bet. We could probably plot out boundaries for 7 states out of those countries.

DENNIS QUAID BACKS DRUGMAKER LIABILITY SUITS

I completely support his ideas...

I'll bet drug companies will be a lot more careful if they could be sued.

Nobody should have that kind of immunity... Especially not corporations.

Especially not corporations that can make mistakes that KILL people.

I feel like poop today... I usually shoot for 8 hours of sleep, no matter how late I go to bed. I've been going to bed pretty late, admittedly, but, like I said... Always 8 hours of sleep. But last night, I could hardly get to sleep at all, and I don't know what time it was when I finally got there. Ever have one of those nights where you just can't stop thinking? You try to stop, but then you think of something else and that starts a whole new train of thought... And it was just silly stuff, mostly, but I couldn't stop thinking, so I didn't get to sleep. Needless to say, I didn't get 8 hours of sleep, and I woke up with a headache that I still have as I write this. I'm supposed to be working for that new computer, but I feel really blah and I probably couldn't stand for 6 hours.

Anyway, that kind of stuff is boring... This is the cool stuff:

Ya'know what that is? You better believe it... I have maintained my 4.000 GPA through another semester. And here the all-knowing Internet likes to proclaim the dangers of online gaming as a cause for a failure in life in general? It's not the games. They're just afraid to blame parents and individuals for their problems, because then they can't classify it as a "disease" or "addiction" and can't milk you for your life savings in recovery programs... What a joke. And hey, guess what? I played World of Warcraft for nearly the entire semester! That is, up until just these last few weeks... Started getting bored. But oh, people who play WoW are addicted raid-mongers who pour their livelihoods into pointlessly gathering armor and weapons. That is so much more terrible than being addicted to pseudo-participating in a storyline about magical creatures retaking a cavern that was taken from them by book-bearing humanoids from another world, isn't that right, ToriaURU?

Oops... Did I mention names? Oh-no... I think I did!

So, in short, I present to you the proof that games have no power over you but what you allow it. The major argument for this stuff is that games work against your academic career. I tell you that if you want good grades, you'll work for them no matter what you do in your spare time. And Uru was absolutely no better than World of Warcraft, pfft... Honestly, I would have expected a far more rational thought from someone of the Myst community. Just goes to show how watered down everyone has become... Not at all the smart group of people I remember from the days of Riven.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go shoot people in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Okay, long story, so I'm not going into it, but I wanted to know how to pronounce "nihilism". Ny-hill-ism? Nee-hill-ism? I mean, there's a monster in Half Life called Nilhilanth! So... I looked it up. According to the dictionary, it's a total rejection of laws... Rejection of truth... Rejection of authority. The works. Turns out that it's pronounced Nay-uhl-ism or Nee-uhl-ism. Interesting, eh? But now that I know "nee" is a correct pronunciation, here's a joke I made in the shower while thinking about it:

What do you call a hobbit who rejects the truth? A Knee-high-list. Ahahaha!

That's right. Made that up all by myself... I'll be here all night, ladies and gentlemen!

So I had a nightmare lastnight... Sort of. I consider a nightmare to be a dream where there's some sense of urgency and survival involved. In this case, someone was trying to kill me, but it wasn't exactly SCARY. Who was trying to kill me? Barack Obama. Where was he trying to kill me? On Voyager... You know, Star Trek: Voyager?

Indeed... He had some huge plasma cannon sorta weapon that he could continuously fire and sweep around a room. I remember this quite vividly. Actually... I also remember that I was trying to keep a baby from his evil clutches. I remember running into Sick Bay and taking the kid and sneaking into the Jefferies Tube just as Obama charged into the room and started charring the place with his plasma weapon.

I don't remember a lot of the specifics, but I remember him chasing me down the hallways of the ship and how I would just knick around a corner as he fires at me. He was always really close behind and I never had a chance to hide somewhere. And I don't remember how, but I vaguely recollect defeating him by blowing him out into space with a Cargo Bay airlock.

It's... Scary how two obsessions can mix so well... Politics and Star Trek: Voyager.
