So this is my own personal blog. Everyone once in a while I may have a cogent point to debate but for the most part my entries are nothing more than drunken ramblings brought on by the Daily Show, Yahoo News, or anything I can put an extremest Left Wing view on because i am, at heart, a Leftist apparently.
Here is one thing I would like to sound off on.
In a recent Boston Herald (whose stance i cant even figure out anymore) they asked why candidates like Michelle Bachman and Sarah Palin can't get a fair shake in the latest 2012 election runnings. Well here is why I think they can't.
THEY ARE BOTH FUCKING INSANE!!!!!!!
When it comes to Sarah Palin, I feel this is because she couldn't even finish her term as Governor of Alaska, America's largest state, and America's largest state we just so happen to put up with! If it weren't for all the oil we get from that state (of which all the tax payers in Alaska get at least one thousand dollars in their tax returns) we would have given it back to the Russians, not the Nordic peoples.
As for Michelle Bachman, the fact that you don't realize the the Founding Fathers didn't fight to their dying day (which was different for all of them) to abolish slavery speaks volumes as to what you either learned, or decided to pay attention to in your history classes.
It's not that the majority of the country, or the majority of the well educated, free thinking, un-restricted classes that hear you speak think that you are insane, or at least morally imbalanced on topical issues and general issues at large. It is just that you have give all those people no reason to think otherwise. Along with Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich (who I actually voted for before I knew what voting could do in full disclosure) Ron Paul, Mitt Romney (despite the fact that I am from Massachusetts I never voted for him) or any of the other Republican contenders.
And here is another question. If Obama is doing so poorly why aren't there other Democrats trying to take over the White House? Because they know they don't have anyone that can do better than him. And I am ok with that.
That is because I would sooner die than vote republican (save for Scott Brown, oddly enough that worked out for all Massachusetts voters).
At the same time though I am not voting republican either.
I wish there were a candidate with no official title and no sworn allegiance to anyone but the voters that elected him to office. That is someone i could get behind as long as i knew he truly represented me in Washington. Not just the businesses that happen to be in my district too.

Very Local
Ok. The local, Ipswich Recreation DEPT. is under attack. "The Town Of Ipswich" is trying to cut 100k in budget cuts to go along with the "downturn" of the economy. Now I feel I have an old dog in this fight.
If it were not for the Recreation Department (from refereed to as the RD)of Ipswich, I may have been one of those students of the 90s that at least thought about shooting up my school soley as an act of defiance.
Columbine had all ready happened at this point and not only was I one not to copy cat but I am not at all the type to take ones life unless it came down to me and them, and that would be the only way for me to survive.
Regardless of all that, the Ipswich Rec Department gave me a place to not only be myself, but also gave me the freedom to be who I could truly be without the walls of heterosexuality, homosexuality, and any other sexuality you can think of.
Not only did it give me a place to find my sexuality, personality and life goals, but it gave me the ability to find such characteristics in a non-judgmental, non societal and non economical frame of being.
With out the Ipswich Recreation Dept and all the people that go with it (after the CORI checks) I would not be the Salem State University graduate that I am now!
I have worked for the Recreation Department in the past and have no criminal background whatsoever.
And one of the great things I love about the Ipswich Rec. Dept. is that they never ask for money, nor do they ever run credit checks. Everyone is welcome at their Homework Nights (Which I always took part of and is the main reason I graduated from the Ipswich High School System). I am now happy to admit I have a BA degree in Creative Writing from Salem State University.
If it were not for the help that I received from the Ipswich Recreation Department I may never have even made it to a State College/University. Let alone passed my classes. But the learning that I encompassed at NECC and the homework nights that I got from the Rec Center with my friends allowed me to pursue my degree in Creative Writing.
I feel that anything that I have learned is in thanks to the Ips. Rec. Dept. And if you need me to spell that out for you in a Town Meeting I Will!
To those whom it may concern.
