Kerry's concession speech, revised [17 Nov 2004|07:01pm] [ mood | amused ] [ music | DJ Tiesto - Love Comes Again ] My fellow Americans, the people of this nation have spoken, and spoken with a clear voice. So I am here to offer my concession. I concede that I overestimated the intelligence of the American people. Though the people disagree with the President on almost every issue, you saw fit to vote for him. I never saw that coming. I concede that I misjudged the power of hate. That's pretty powerful stuff, and I didn't see it. So let me take a moment to congratulate the President's strategists: Putting the gay marriage amendments on the ballot in various swing states like Ohio... well, that was just genius. Genius. It got people, a certain kind of people, to the polls. The unprecedented number of folks who showed up and cited "moral values" as their biggest issue, those people changed history. The folks who consider same sex marriage a more important issue than war, or terrorism or the economy... Who'd have thought the election would belong to them? Well, Karl Rove did. Gotta give it up to him for that. I concede that I put too much faith in America's youth. With 8 out of 10 of you opposing the President, with your friends and classmates dying daily in a war you disapprove of, with your future being mortgaged to pay for rich old peoples' tax breaks, you somehow managed to sit on your asses and watch the Cartoon Network while aging homophobic hillbillies carried the day. You voted with the exact same anemic percentage that you did in 2000. You suck. Seriously, you do. There are some who would say that I sound bitter, that now is the time for healing, to bring the nation together. We in blue states produce the vast majority of the wealth in this country and pay the most Taxes, and you in the red states receive the majority of the money from those taxes while complaining about 'em. We in the blue states are the only ones who've been attacked by foreign terrorists, yet you in the red states are gung ho to fight a war in our name. Blue state civilians are the actual victims and targets of the war on terror, while red state civilians are the ones standing behind us and yelling "Oh, yeah!? Bring it on!" More than 40% of you Bush voters still believe that Saddam Hussein had something to do with 9/11. I'm impressed by that, truly I am. Your sons and daughters who might die in this war know it's not true, the people in the urban centers where al Qaeda wants to attack know it's not true, but those of you who are at practically no risk believe this easy lie because you can. As part of my concession speech, let me say that I really envy that luxury. I concede that. Healing? We, the people at risk from terrorists, the people who subsidize you, the people who speak in glowing and respectful terms about the heartland of America while that heartland insults and excoriates us... we wanted some healing. We spoke loud and clear. And you refused to give it to us, largely because of your high moral values. You knew better: America doesn't need its allies, doesn't need to share the burden, doesn't need to unite the world, and doesn't need to provide for its future. Hell no. Not when it's got a human shield of pointy-headed, atheistic, non-confrontational breadwinners who are willing to pay the bills and play nice in the vain hope of winning a vote that we can never have. Because we're "morally inferior", I suppose, we are supposed to respect your values while you insult ours. And the big joke here is that for 20 years, we've done just that. It's not a "ha-ha" funny joke, I realize, but it's a joke all the same. And I make this pledge to you today: In the next election, there will be no pandering. Next time we will not pretend that the simple folk of America know just as much as the people who devote their lives to serving and studying the nation and the world. They don't. I'm talking to you, you ignorant, slack-jawed yokels, you bible-thumping, inbred drones and you redneck, racist, chest-thumping, perennially duped grade-school grads.

==== iN teEnY bOpPeR StYlE... ===== [12 Oct 2004|03:12pm] [ mood | gotta go potty ] [ music | Tripping Daisy - Bang ] OmG!!!!!!!1111 i have been having SoOoOOoOoOo much fun up here at a&M!!!!!11 let me tell u the story, mmmk??// so, lets start out by talking about what happened...hhhmmm, screw this i can't talk like those stupid little kids and their changing of the letter's cases, going from capital, to lower case...you JUST don't do that!! i mean really...anyway. last week was pretty rockin', but it could've been better. let me tell you why: wwweeeellll, philosophy is the devil, and the fact that it's my 8 AM class is KILLER. i hate that class more than i hate...my dad's computer illiteracy :-) yeah, so i'm gonna q-drop it or something. the academic advisor told me about some kind of "grade forgiveness" thing A&M is going to start. basically i'll get to stay in the class, fail, then use a grade forgiveness dealy to make the failing grade go away. they haven't "made it public" yet, but the academic advisor was like "i think it might be a good idea to wait it out and see exactly what the details of this thing is, and then you can q-drop it if the grade forgiveness thing doesn't work out". so pretty much he told me not to go to class :-D hahaha, he was cool. but that all happened today, so now it's time to talk about what happened over the weekend. THURSDAY! (p.s. good band) what did i do? uuuuummmm...well, i think i remember NOT going to philosophy because that's the thing i do now since i'm getting rid of it SOMEHOW...then i went to political science (basically, government to you high schoolers), and probably slept through most of the lecture because i find myself to be tired in that class for some reason (OH! today she made a funny that i laughed at...she's getting better, i think)...ttthhheeennnn i went to my fun math 141 class. let me tell you why it's fun: first of all, there's this really cool chick in there that i met that's into cool music, so i can talk to her and look at her cool band shirts as she does with mine. and then we get in fights in the middle of class and get really loud about the most random things (socks). then the cute professor...she's so little :-D and i think she's from russia...or around there. she talks really poorly, and it's SOOOOO much fun! oh yeah, and mueller is in there too, so i can give him crap whenever i walk out of the class before him during a quiz because he's still sitting there taking it...although he probably does better on them...AGH! smart people make me upset, and lower my self-esteem. then that night i spent the night with katie (haha, that looks so wrong, but really...i just kind of fell asleep on her bed), and watched "love, actually"...i thought it was going to be a chick flick, but it was actually really good. good movie, good movie. so yeah, then friday...i woke up at around...oooohhh noon, and katie's room mate was like "uuuuhhh..." i'm sure, and i was like "uuuhhh, i'm tired", but i helped that loser katie and her loser friend catheryn get their stuff in the loser's car so they could go back to loser lufkin and have a loser time together. (YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU GUYS :-P ) so i lazed around, and came to find out that EVERYONE was going to go home. paul, chris, and i were all appalled (haha, paul...appalled...) that these losers would do such a thing. apparently the reasoning behind this migration out of college station was due to the fact that there wasn't a game, or really any other event occurring during the weekend. so that's when everyone and their mother goes home. EVEN THE KIDS WITHOUT CARS HAD THEIR PARENTS COME PICK THEM UP! at first i thought it was like "A&M GO HOME weekend" so pretty much me paul and chris all hung out most of the weekend...chillin'...being mischevious, if that's how you spell it :-/ man, this weekend was really THAT UNeventful...pretty boring. BUT! the fun comes SUNDAY!! HOoRaY SUNDAY!!! haha, i didn't even mean to type it all goofy...my BEST friend LAUREN called me and was like "i'm in town, get up", and i said "yes ma'am...WE'RE GOING TO THE USED TONIGHT!!" so i woke up and showered and lauren and her friend amelia? barged into my room (sneaking into my dorm as usual...she never has me "escort" her, haha, so player)...amelia was real cool, and short :-) hahahaha, but i didn't want to make fun of her because i didn't want her to hate me. so we got into my awesome camry and had our little road trip to see the used. we got there at like...6:30? maybe earlier/later, not really sure. but, we didn't wait in much of a line. we got in, and like, 30 seconds after we got in there, the bronx was on stage and BOOM the music started. the bronx was alright, they scream a lot, along with head automatica...although lauren persuaded me, and i like them now...grr...we were in the pit, and it was intense for head automatica. well, anyway, after them atreyu came on and lauren was like "uuuhhh, yeah i don't want to die in the mosh" so our group went to the back. OH YEAH! our group...thing...it was me, lauren, amelia, sean john? and his g/f. they were all REALLY cool. oh, and when we went down into the pit i found matt besfer, tina, and willy. amber and alicia were up by the stage where i definitely couldn't get to. so i actually never got to see those losers. matt's hair is long now, probably about the same length mine was at the beginning of senior year...so shorter than what mine is now, but longer than he usually had it. tina and willy are still together, so that's good :-) it was nice seeing roosevelt people...i miss all the ghettoness (hahaha, side note, when chris and i went to jack in the box one afternoon/evening all the black kids were working, and business was slow, so they were just talking in the back REALLY loud, and both of us were like "awww, i feel at home here"...so we're probably going to go back there every once and a while when we have a ghettoness withdrawal) ok, so back to the concert. after atreyu got off stage, our crew went back up as far as we could. so, definitely the used took like 29836928 hours to get on stage. everyone was upset about that, and of course some loser kids started chanting "we want the used, we want the used"...GOSH! no, but like, their intro thing was real intense...like, it was like the intro to their new CD, so we knew it was coming, and we knew when, but everyone was just getting really anxious because we all wanted to kill each other in a mosh when they started playing "take it away"...it was SO much fun!!!! AAHH...then we started getting killed in the mosh, half the group left, and me and lauren got stuck in the mosh and couldn't get out for a lot of the concert. which was FLIPPIN' SWEET even though we were getting run over :-) so then they played some mooshy song, so lauren had to go find amelia because bert was like "who came to this concert with a best friend? bla bla bla bla, go find them and put your arms around each other for this song" then we stayed back in the back for the rest of the concert. it was good times. said bye to everyone, and lauren and i were on our way back home...we made a pit stop at the taco cabana here on texas ave. and THEN i parked in my NEW LOT 40 PARKING SPOT (WOOOT!), and walked ooohhh 5 minutes back to the dorm rather than 30 minutes :-D and now it's tuesday. monday was boring...except for at night...when someone visited me, and by someone, i mean...you don't get to know. P.S. it's cold in my dorm room...'nuff said be a punk
