I Hope That...

..this scares you as much as it scares me.

By "this" I of course mean the upcoming election in the United States.

Currently, Barack Obama is leading in the polls by 5.2%. Personally, I'm rooting for Obama. In the beginning, I was supporting him, now I'm not sure (mainly since the "gay couples can visit each other in the hospital" situation). Mainly, I would like Obama to become president so that McCain doesn't!

I know many people that would agree with me when I say, McCain made a HUGE mistake when choosing his VP Candidate. I mean, I don't know if he's been scoring off George Bush, but Sarah Palin? Seriously?

I think that most terrifying part of this, is that if McCain gets elected, there is a huge chance, that come 2012, Governor Palin would be president! I'm sure I'm not the only person that finds this prospect ridiculous! Only, it's not just a prospect. John McCain has been quoted as saying that's his plan!

Sarah Palin as President would be disastorous, I think we can all agree. I'm all in favour of Tina Fey replacing her! Maybe even generally in life! If you're in agreement with that, maybe you should join this group - 1,000,000 Who Believe Tina Fey Is More Qualified Than Sarah Palin To Be VP!

I particularly would like to thank the creator of the group for sending me this message earlier today;

"If any of the following things happen to John McCain if he is elected president, Caribou Barbie becomes the President:

Stroke=Palin
Heart Attack=Palin
Alzheimers=Palin
Dimensia=Palin
Broken Hip=Palin
Cindy Chokes Him=Palin
OD on Viagra=Palin
Cindy Catches Palin Blowing Him=Palin"


I'd also recommend visting this website for some good laughs!

One thing I will say for Governor Palin, she's given us comedians some DAMN good material. And I guess she was kind of a good sport going on SNL.

Still, Lindsay Lohan's been on SNL - doesn't mean she should be president.

A Really Shallow One This Time...

This is a very pointless blog, and it's extremely shallow, but I felt the need to share...

My beloved Kate Walsh has dyed her hair!
Yes, that's right, the one and only Dr Addison Forbes-Montgomery Shepherd (wife of McDreamy) has ditched her trademark red hair.

Granted the picture I have of her with dark hair isn't a great picture anyway, but I think it's going to take me a while to get used to Kate Walsh without the red hair.

However, she's gorgeous, and I'm sure she'd look good with a shaved head!

So there's the pointless blog, and I'll be posting one that may mean something very shortly.

No seriously, I already have it started in another tab!

How Much Is The War Costing Us?

I've been thinking about this lately, and when I have thoughts, I like to blog about them. Surely that's the point of a blog?

Anyway, amidst the credit crunch, and the probability of another great depression, I can't help but think, how much is the war in Iraq costing us?

I mean, with the resources and people being used in Iraq, so much money is being spent! I don't understand why the public, including people who struggle enough as it is, are being forced to cut back, when the Government spend huge amounts of unnecessary money.

I'm not a person that classes myself as being either pro or anti war, I just think that there are better things for the most powerful nations in the world to be spending their money on.

If my family have to cut down on our 'spending', why don't the families of Gordon Brown or George Bush?

This credit crunch is the fault of the Governments who didn't take necessary procedures to prevent it, and yet they're not the people suffering because of it!

But back to my point, it's probably not a popular viewpoint, but surely drawing back some of the resources or troops in Iraq would save money!

Easier said than done I guess.

I guess we'd rather our societies crashed, than let the other side think they won...

I've Had Enough Of Soaps!

Well, okay, not really. I'm still going to watch them, but they really do p*ss me off sometimes!

I mean, I understand that if they weren't dramatic, we wouldn't watch them. BUT, do they need to be this dramatic? I'm sitting watching Eastenders, and what the hell?

Jack Branning has just been released from a night in the cells. He's been accused of trying to shoot his brother, Max. We're not sure whether or not Max has tried to frame Jack (although it looks likely!)
Why would this guy want to frame his brother I hear you ask? Because Jack is moving to France with Max's soon-to-be ex-wife and Max's kids. Max and his wife Tanya broke up because Max was sleeping with his son, Bradley's wife.

Separately, this has been running since last October. We've also seen Tanya bury Max alive, because that was his greatest fear. We've seen Max and Tanya have many "will they reconcile?" moments, and we've seen Jack nearly cheat on Tanya. Yesterday we saw Max hold his teenage daughter's boyfriend up against a wall by the throat!

When these things happen, it never looks too bad, but when you weigh it all up - this is ridiculous! Families do not have all of this happen in one year! No family I've ever known anyway...

Just be glad you don't live in a Soap Opera

Did I mention that Max is going to be the victim of a hit and run this week? And it could be any of his family members!

And don't even start me on Coronation Street. This Carla and Liam situation is killing me!

Palin's Hacker...

About ten minutes ago, I stumbled across a news story online, that discussed the recent e-mail hack of Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin.

Okay, so, I'm not a fan of the woman. If I'm being honest, she's a laughing stock (although she's given comedians some damn good material, and for that I thank her.) But in this instance, I feel really, really sorry for her. Mainly because of a comment I read from the hacker in which they said they read all of her e-mails and found "nothing incriminating, nothing that would derail her campaign as I had hoped. All I saw was personal stuff, some clerical stuff from when she was governor…. And pictures of her family."

The part of that comment that really bothered me? "All I saw was personal stuff". I'm sorry? ALL that you saw?
If I was Governor Palin, I'm not sure I'd see that as a minor thing. I think a small part of me would be wishing that they'd found campaign details! To refer to personal things as 'all' they'd seen, sickens me.

Not only this, the hacker has been posting online about how "easy" the hack was. He has also mentioned that as soon as he re-set her password, using DOB, Zip Code and a Google search to find the answer to her security question, he panicked. Not through any kind of guilt, however, purely because had only used one proxy to hide his IP address, making him vulnerable. The hacker said "I panicked, i still wanted the stuff out there but I didn’t know how to rapidsh*t all that stuff, so I posted the pass on , and then promptly deleted everything, and unplugged my internet and just sat there in a comatose state"

Personally, I think that somebody should post the hacker's personal e-mails online, I'm sure Governor Palin would love to see them.
