I think the rainbow gives off the impression that I’m much more girly then I really am. Hmm, maybe I should change it… But I do like rainbows. And this one brings back memories of my amazing time spent on the little island in Brazil where I kidnapped it while it was looming over the ocean.
Oh, it’s this constant indecision and paranoia of judgment that stresses me out. Yes, its froo froo, but I am keeping the rainbow… for now.
This was a totally pointless post. Don’t publish.

Did you hear about the drug bust at San Diego State? They re-coverd 2 kilograms of cocaine, 350 Ecstasy pills, marijuana, meth and prescription drugs. 96 people were arrested and 75 of them San Diego State students. My fav part of this story is that the agents loved to tell the media in a chuckling tone one of the students was about to receive a criminal justice degree and another was to receive a master’s degree in homeland security. I think it’s funny because I have a feeling so many cops and agents experimented while they were young. I’m not surprised at all. And to hear these officers talk about the raids was ridiculous. They were so pleased w/ themselves. I’m just guessing here but I’ll betcha 3/4 of these people are totally normal college students having fun while they’re young. I feel bad for these kids. Not that I’m all pro-drugs but I guess I just have a problem with all this time and money spent on some crazy crack down at a college. Kids will be kids right? (note to self: that statement immediately makes you sound like a lame adult). Can’t they find something else to fund? Maybe the San Diego fire department?
Anyway enough about that. Have you heard of Salvia before. My friend in NY told me about it and apparently you can find it in Chinatown. Get it while you can, it may become the next illegal drug. No, I’ve never tried it, and honestly I’m a little scared if you really get the sensation that you’re underwater for 20 minutes. Although, if I thought I was a mermaid or something and could breathe under there it’d be great.
Ok, thats all.

Hell yeah, Obama took N. Carolina and almost squeaked by Clinton in Indiana. Obama is now within 200 delegates of clinching the 2,025 delegates necessary to snag the Democratic presidential nomination. Of course that number is excluding the 286 delegates from MI and FL, which are still being considered but not likely to count since those states broke the parties rules and held their primaries early. According to RealClearPolitics, Obama has 1845 delegates and Clinton has 1693. There are still 217 delegates at stake in the final six primaries: West Virginia, Kentucky, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Montana and South Dakota. And 267 superdelegates are still undecided. If all goes as it should, Obama will remain in the lead w/ the most delegates and the remaining undecided superdelegates shall vote for Obama, the choice of the people.
Overall for Obama, prognosis is good. Even better news, big players are starting to come to their senses. One of the big first endorsers of Hillary, Former Sen. McGovern, urged Clinton to drop out of the race. Clinton came very close but now is the time to bow out gracefully. It’s time to unify the democratic party before things get too messy and we hand the win to the republicans. My biggest fear though, is that by the time they realize this it will be too late.
Little side note, a Time.com poll says 80% of 7,000 polled think Clinton should drop out. But well, guess that doesn’t mean much since the demographics of Time (educated middle to upper class) are most certainly Obama supporters, according to statistics.

Recent Supreme Court Ruling that supports lethal injection
The death penalty is barbaric. I have felt this way since the day I could have cognitive thoughts running through my little brain. How can we believe the human race is evolving when we can’t even control our maddening desire for revenge? Because that is what executions are all about. You all know that right? It does not deter crimes. It is NOT cheaper then lifetime imprisonment. There is no such thing as a humane method of killing. Its unethical, PERIOD.
Here’s an interesting thing to note, America is of the minority who still performs executions.
“Capital punishment was used in almost every part of the globe, but over the last few decades many countries have abolished it. Amnesty International classifies countries into four categories:
Who do we think we are to kill another human being? How does that teach anyone the rights and wrongs? Good and evil? Love and hate? I suppose I can only speak for myself, but I can’t imagine killing another will make that pain of losing a loved one go away. I can only believe the guilt would add more pain to a broken heart.
“I know something about killing. I don’t like killing. And I don’t think a state honors life by turning around and sanctioning killing. Now, that’s just a personal belief that I have.”

McCain’s stance on the WAR as far as I can tell is: stay in it to win it.
“…the promise of withdrawal of our forces regardless of the consequences would constitute a failure of political and moral leadership.” -John McCain, Tuesday, April 8, 2008
Listen buddy, the war was started illegally. It should never have happened. America was not prepared for the war from day one. It’s a big fat mess. America messed up. Period. Admit this massive mistake done by our government, bring home combat forces, ask for UN peace keeping help and begin to mend both countries best we can. That should be the plan. Did we learn nothing from Vietnam? The sooner we admit our mistakes, the less out of control it becomes. You of all people, being a POW for 5 1/2 years, should know.
“By ignorance we mistake, and by mistakes we learn.”
McCain’s stance on ABORTION is unforgivable:
“I do not support Roe vs Wade. It should be overturned”-John McCain, Sun., Feb. 18, 2007
“He voted against family planning, he voted against the freedom of access to clinic entrances — that was about violence against women in clinics,” Keenan says, adding, “He voted against funding for teen pregnancy-prevention programs, and making sure that abstinence only was medically accurate. This is very, very extreme.” – Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America
To break it down for you, he does not believe in abortion yet he does not support educating kids on pregnancy-prevention. This is a big problem. He does not believe schools should teach teenagers how to use contraceptives, he only wants them to be taught prevention by abstinence. He does not believe insurance should cover birth control. Yet, he does not support programs like Planned Parenthood.
To be fair, I must include that he would support exceptions to a ban on abortion in cases of rape, incest, and when the mother’s life is in danger.
I’ve run out of time to ridicule any more of McCain’s other ridiculous political beliefs, but have no fear, another McCain bashing will follow soon enough…
