first off, a little american idol tidbit: sanjaya malakar scares the shit out of me. the fact that he's gotten as far as he has tells me that william huang's fans have moved on and are starting to pay attention to the show again.
after seeing how well and how quickly we can fuck up international relations, i think we should take a break for at least the next 6 years. someone on our behalf should just go to the UN at a security council meeting and go "hey guys. uh, this is kinda rough. you see, i got some shit going on at home. by home, i mean outside this building. everyone seems to be really pissed off at me, both at home and abroad. personally, the last thing i need is someone i don't even know to be pissed off at me. i need to take care of my crappy life at home before i get disowned. i need to take a...what's that word...sabbatical? is that it? thanks. well, peace out, cub scout."
as much as i think the democrats deserve a shot, i think giuliani deserves more of a shot. now, i hear from a bunch of people "he doesn't know anything about foreign policy. how good would he be?" at this point, fucking a! i'm serious. the less international experience he has, the better. we got way too much shit at home to deal with to be bothered by crap that i could give two squirts of piss about. this is not to say that we should cut off all communication. we should still look out for the shit that are legitimate concerns like, say, genocide?
let's take yugoslavia for example. the UN going in there was a good idea. this poses the question: how is that different from iraq? answer: straightforward intent. milosevic was a prick and by the time the UN got out of the country, the reason for being there was the same as in the beginning: he was killing a whole group of people. now let's look eastward and run down the reasons we've been told why we're there. 1. weapons of mass destruction. strike one. 2. ties to osama bin laden. strike two. 3. saddam was an asshole and everyone will be happy that we get him. foul ball. saddam was an asshole, but everyone is still pissed off. 4. to stabilize the nation so that they can run themselves (keep in mind that WE'RE the assholes to destabilized them in the first place). we just keep digging a bigger and bigger hole of shit for ourselves and i believe this will be strike three.
if we got a legitimate reason to be pissed off at something going on overseas, fine. if not, fuck it. the one person i trust more than anyone i've seen in the news when it comes to the 2008 elections is rudy giuliani. put aside his personal life, because it really doesn't matter. clinton's personal life was turned to shambles during his administration too, but it doesn't mean he wasn't lax at his job (besides not knowing the definition of the word "is"). i like giuliani because he's harsh when he has to be (record low crime rate in NYC while he was mayor) and cool enough to not be bothered by things that make other republicans shit their diapers. add the fact that he knew how do get his fucking job done in a time of crisis, as opposed to other republicans, and you've got a good choice in my opinion. honestly, look what happened. giuliani's attention was squarely on NYC after 9/11, which is where it should've been. bush's attention was on the other side of the globe, which was good to a point. he really didn't take care of his business here. homeland security is a joke to say the least. he's obsessed with protecting our southern border, forgetting that the 9/11 assholes came through canada (mr. bush, honestly, what's the real reason you're concerned about the mexican border? it's not terrorists). we have no working energy policy when we've had decades to work on the problem. hint: during the day, look up at the big yellow ball. don't look to long. now he's siding with a disgraced attorney general who fired lawyers for purely politically biased reasons. ladies and gentlemen, i give you the new spokesperson for attention deficit disorder.
2 months 'til i graduate. booyah!
