About the election

If you follow the election at all, peep this site called perspctv. It monitors blogs and tweets that discuss the candidates in real time. Plus it contains graphs measuring how much news coverage each candidate gets compared to the other. I'm still not voting, but this site is fucking tite.

"nah...don't vote" - Lupe Fiasco

Raw Story wrote a rundown of a few VP options for Obama, personally I don't give a shit, because no choice could redeem his mad sellout, but I present the article because it has an intro explanation into the very sellout that I mentioned before. To get to the level of politician on the national scale you have to compromise yourself consistently, which sucks, but that's what our electoral system inspires. Anyway, Obama sold out, in my eyes, when he voted in favor of the new FISA bill that granted telecoms immunity for their crimes of supplying private information to the government. Fucking crimes, straight up everyone knows they're criminals, but nobody can do shit because of this bill. Thanks for being a leader Obama... I'm tired of the lesser of two evils is still a choice, fuck that. That's some shit. Another Lupe quote from that night, "We're gonna overthrow the motherfucker." I'm not voting this year, politicians are all (yeah all) full of shit. I'm in favor of democracy, but the "act" in itself won't bring us democracy. A little girl doesn't actually use tea in her imaginary tea party (democracy being the tea in America's democracy). Bush should be impeached, not just impeached, but actually removed from power.

The Solar Revolution

This is AMAZING. I knew that they were developing this kind of technology, but I didn't know how far away we were from completion. Now, hopefully with a President Obama, we can change the American infrastructure to ease off of non-renewable resources. They were understating the importance of this find when they said, "this is a major discovery with enormous implications for the future prosperity of humankind." It's good to be able to play on the internet like I used to. I've been catching up on my Colbert and Stewart, and definitely my world news. Some more good news, Karl Rove is being held for contempt of Congress for not showing up to a hearing on the Partisanship of the Justice Department. I hope he rots in jail. China is great, and I'll be back extremely soon so we can all catch up over a few beers. Take care everybody.
