Yes, she is a walking contradiction

I just find this funny, because throughout her whole campaign down there in texas, and in front of all the cameras, she insisted her only goal was to meet with the President. Instead shes been the focus of far left liberal groups who have now moved in to push their agenda (moveon.org, etc) Now, she blatantly admits that she's glad the President didn't meet with her! What the hell! So, clearly her goal was to push the liberal agenda, not find answers for her son's death. I just think its pretty crappy that she used her dead son for this purpose, especially when you consider the fact that the President already met with her two months after her sons death, and she spoke nothing of how "angry" she was. Seems to me like someone saw an opportunity to be in the spotlight and took it up.....ugh, these people will never learn.....
“I look back on it, and I am very, very, very grateful he did not meet with me, because we have sparked and galvanized the peace movement,” Sheehan told The Associated Press. “If he’d met with me, then I would have gone home, and it would have ended there.”
I just love how liberals are pretty much constantly a walking contradiction...their basic motto: go with whatever they think the people are thinking.
Take a look at this too.
In an August 15, 2005 interview [25] on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, Sheehan told Matthews that she thought she would not have responded differently to her son's death had he died in Afghanistan rather than in Iraq. Sheehan argued that the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan was "almost the same thing" as the Iraq war and that in both cases it was wrong to invade an entire country to fight an ideology that did not necessarily represent all of the people of that country. When Matthews pointed out that "...Afghanistan was harboring, the Taliban was harboring al-Qaida which is the group that attacked us on 9/11.", Sheehan replied, "Well then we should have gone after al-Qaida and maybe not after the country of Afghanistan." Sheehan also argued that American efforts in Afghanistan were not "having any success" and that "our troops should be brought home [from both Iraq and Afghanistan.]" Clearly this woman is crazy and misguided.

Case of the mondays....

Well, its late late monday night (tuesday morning). Mondays, well, are loooooooooooong. I have a 9:00, 10:00, two hour break in which I stay on campus, class from 1-3. Then I came home for about an hour, cooked some dinner and got ready for work. Then I worked from 5-midnight, ugh, long day. I missed the cards and rams game, but thats ok because they both won:-)
I guess nothing else new to report. Night.

Free TV!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

So last thursday I got an email from "Prize Fulfillment Services" saying that I won a Dell 26" LCD television!!!! WAHOO! I had signed up in july on dells website for the drawing. Well, they were giving away these tv's to 1 in 100 people (up to 70,000) people could sign up. So, I had signed up me and peggy. Well, I won! At first I was a little skeptical, because the email didnt actually come from dell, but from eprize.com. Well, dell basically contracts their sweepstakes out to eprize. The email told me I have to send back a signed affidavit with my social security number, birtday, name, etc. That's what I was a little skeptical about, I really don't want to send my ssn off to someone I dont know. Anyways, after a few phonecalls to dell and eprize, its legit! I really won. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much until it actually arrives on my doorstep, but I think I'm good to go. Well, for the affidavit I had to get it notarized by a notary public. Well, needless to say, that took some time. When I absentee voted last november, I got it notarized at brady. I went there yesterday, but the lady was already gone. The other person in the asum office told me to try Jesse. So Peggy and I walked over to jesse. Well, that person was gone for the day as well. There were other notary public's there apparently, but they "are picky about what they sign." Ugh....The woman told me to try a lawyer's office or bank. So, then we were walking back to the car, and we passed by the law building. Well, I went in to one of the offices, and the notary was in a meeting. The secretary told me to go to a room upstairs. That notary was gone for the day, so the woman told me to try a notary in the library. We walked over to the library, but that notary wasnt there. They told me to go to some other office upstairs. We went up there, and FINALLY found a notary public. Anyways, so I got it signed and all, then mailed it off from the post office. Anywho, assuming everything goes as planned, I should be getting my tv in 6 weeks! We'll see what happens.

Saddam, dun dun dun

If you care anything about the world and maybe a bit of politics, read this: http://www.husseinandterror.com/ Yes, clear links have been established between hussein and al qaeda. These links have even held up in an american court!!!! I don't know how, after going through the scrutiny of an american judge people can still think that hussein did nothing to help terrorists who have killed THOUSANDS of israelis, americans, and other american allies. He offered diplomatic aid, safe haven, training, medical attention, and money to those who killed americans and our allies. He supported terrorism by paying $25,000 to families of Palestinian homicide/suicide bombers. He provided shelter, and even a government paycheck to several men responsible for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. He provided medical attention (in a hospital run by Uday Hussein, saddams son), to Abu Musab al Zarqawi, who was injured while fighting the US troops in afghanistan. Zarqawi then opened a terrorist training camp in northern iraq. Two other large terrorist training camps were found, one of which had an urban assault training site, and an airliner hijacking training site. This is just the beginning, read the link....

No media bias? HA!

Wow, and people say the news has no liberal bias! HA! I thought a reporters job was to ask questions, not to put answers in the mouth of those they are interviewing:

Blitzer talking to former President Clinton on CNN:
BLITZER: So I assume that the answer is, yes, the war was a mistake. Is that your answer? CLINTON: You're trying to get me to make news, and I'm trying to educate people. It doesn't matter whether it was a mistake to go in or not at the time. I thought we should have let the U.N. inspectors finish.We are where we are. We can't undo what has happened. Fifty-eight percent of Iraqis voted in the last election. That's more than we had turn out in 2004. And we've got a lot of good people there working hard to train the security forces and the military forces.
BLITZER: That's my job. I'm a newsman. That's what I try to do, is make news. And you try to avoid news. That's your job.

Don't reporters just REPORT the news that exists? Since when are they supposed to create news?!?! I think a freshman entering Journalism school could tell you that.

farhenheit911

Using my free movie rentals from Movie Gallery yesterday, I rented Farhenhype 9/11. Let me tell ya, I was quite impressed. I saw farhenheit 911 when it came out on dvd, because some people in the dorm had it and swore by it. Well, I did some fact checking online, and found this: http://davekopel.com/Terror/Fiftysix-Deceits-in-Fahrenheit-911.htm It's very curious how Moore could call this a documentary when most of the movie is pure lies, deceits, and speculation. Anyways, thats old news, seeing as how his attempt to sway the election clearing didn't work :) So, back to farhenhype...basically just lays out all of the lies and gives clear evidence that the entire farhenheit is pure garbage. Last fall, some people I talked to after seeing farhenheit said that it should be mandatory viewing for anyone who wants to vote in the election. HA! HILARIOUS! Farhenhype should be mandatory viewing for anyone who saw farhenheit. I just think its pretty damn stupid that people would take moores word for everything, when there is clearly plenty of evidence to the contrary...and even worse place their vote based on what they saw in the movie! Hmmm, quite a bit like we see in the liberal media. Oh, and by the way, for all those that bash Fox News' Fair and Balanced reporting...Fox News is BLOWING THE OTHER CABLE NEWS NETWORKS OUT OF THE WATER!!! Did you know in the election coverage last year, fox news beat out the other three top news networks COMBINED by a wide wide margin. I just think its funny that because a station has no left wing bias it is considered to have a right wing bias. Anyways, I really dont mean to get to political in my blog but some things just bother me.

Two parties

Democrats' new strategy: Almost winning: "Just for the record, 'his cuts to education funding' are cuts only in the sense that Hackett's performance in the Ohio election was a tremendous victory: that's to say, Bush's 'cuts to education funding' are in fact an increase of roughly 50 percent in federal education funding." "Republicans may see the increasingly arthritic, corpulent, wheezing, flatulent Democratic Party as a boon for them, but I don't. Two-party systems need two parties, not just for the health of the loser but for that of the winner, too. Intellectually, philosophically, legislatively, it's hard to maintain the discipline to keep yourself in shape when the other guy just lies around the house all day."

Back in CoMo!

So, I'm finally back in Columbia. We moved into our new duplex a couple weeks ago. It's fabulous! I am FINALLY out of the dorms! Anyways, I got a job at Movie Gallery, which I start at in a couple hours. I'm pretty excited because I get to rent movies and games for free, although the pay really sucks. That's ok, because its just some extra income for me, and its just right down the street.
Classes start in just two weeks:/ Oh well, this will be my last two semesters at Mizzou, so I guess I better enjoy them. So, the college of education can kiss my ass....A few weeks ago I get an email saying that one of my education classes has been moved up an hour. Well, of course it was the one class that I couldnt fit in moved up an hour. I spent days and days trying to figure out my schedule for my last two semesters last feb/march. I FINALLY got it figured out, and there was only one way it could work. I thought I had everything set. The crappy part is that most of my remaining science classes are only offered either during fall or winter semester, not both. So, it was really really hard figuring out a schedule that would work, because I also have to fit in my education classes. And this one that now won't fit this semester is supposed to be a prereq. for one im taking winter semester. Anyways, I wrote this stupid woman an email back (polite at first) basically saying how they feel they could change my class just a month before classes start when I signed up for it 5 months ago. She wrote back saying "Well, if you can't fit this class in your schedule this fall semester it will also be offered winter and summer of next year." Well, then I got really pissed, and wrote a really nasty email back, starting with, "Well, that's interesting, because the funny thing is that I DID fit this class into my schedule for fall semester." Anyways, they're not changing the time back, but they did agree to let me take those two ed. classes together next semester.....oh, I'm sooooooooo grateful :(
I guess that's my life for now....
