Bush learns who’s boss • 05.16.08
Bush, today, went to Saudi Arabia to beg for more oil. It went sorta like this:
BUSH: Hey guys, can you sell us more oil?
SAUDIS: We’re not out of oil!!!
BUSH: Um.
But the best quote:
When Bush first ran for president in 2000, he criticized the Clinton administration for high fuel prices and said the president must “jawbone” oil producing nations and persuade them to increase production. At that time, oil was nearing $28 a barrel.
Code spam? • 05.12.08
I received my first spam in the form of code today. Weird.
CONST
usa;
VAR
clinton,obama;
BEGIN
REPEAT
florida;
michigan;
UNTIL primaries=correct;
END.
Like most Clinton supporters, their lack of preparation shows. For example, in this code clinton has the same value as obama, and neither are used.
Having the usa be a constant sounds noble, but is pretty depressing too, depending on which aspects of the usa they’re referring to. The presidency? The people? No, no, I’m sure it’s the, “Clinton should win GodDammit-ness” of the usa which should remain constant.
VOTE WHITE • 05.08.08
Huckabee…I mean Hilary looks to have a new plan.
Now, faced with a mathematical mountain climb that even Stephen Hawking could not ascend, the Clintons — and it is indeed both of them — are just about to paste a bumper sticker on the rear of the collapsing vehicle that carries her campaign. It reads: VOTE WHITE.
Now, as much as I’m glad that people are actually paying attention to oregon’s primary (seriously…are there any after ours? Are we officially the most pathetic political state, vote-by-mail being the only exception) this is just getting sad.
Free Tibet flags made in…where else…China • 04.30.08
Witness the global economy at work…
The factory owner reportedly told police the emblems had been ordered from outside China, and he did not know that they stood for an independent Tibet.
Workers who had grown suspicious checked the meaning of the flag by going online.
Thousands of flags had already been packed for shipping.
Police believe that some may already have been sent overseas, and could appear in Hong Kong during the Olympic torch relay there this week.

hint: The top finances the bottom. Someone is looking like they have been using payday loans a bit too much.
Debate • 02.22.08
Last night was the first time I watched one of the debates live. While I think overall they both did well and it was mostly a draw, I do have to give Hillary credit for her last answer. It was really well done and probably some of the best speaking I’ve ever seen her do. Though probably not enough to save her at this point.
