Tis the season for attack ads!
Ahh, the leaves be changin, and there is a cool criso to the morning air. Frost is starting to appear on the cars in the neighborhood, and it's almost time for green chile stew. While all of these things are good indicators of the fall and winter months fast on our heels, they are also reminders that it's almost time to cast our votes in the most monumental election of our time. While this excites many and sets fires ablaze in the souls of others, it disgusts me.
Yesterday, in the mail I saw a political ad for my dad from the GOP that was headlined with "Obama suports terrorists!!!", or some crap like that. It was a full page of newspaper quotes and rhetoric linking Obama to William Ayers, former leader of The Weather Underground. The Weather Underground was an extremist, radical left group that in the 60's and 70's bombed the house of a judge, The Pentagon, and The Capitol Building among others. Ayers and the other "wheathermen" became fugitives after a bomb meant for Fort Dix blew up in their appartment killing several members. Ayers and the other leaders were put on the FBI 10 most wanted list. William Ayers later turned himself in, a few years after the Weathermen were taken off the fugitive list, and the charges against him were dropped due to illegal investigating techniques by the FBI.
Ayers came under more scrutiny for comments he made on 9/11/01 when he said that the attack should have been greater, and that he supported the terrorists...dumb ass. That was some effed up shit to be saying that day, or any day for that matter.
The incidents that the Grand Ol Party is refering to are dinners that Obama attended at Ayers' home when Obama was still big in the Chicago political circuit. The GOP is also calling foul on Ayers for not ever appologizing for his actions while the head of The Weather Underground. Where I call foul is that the GOP didn't mention the fact that Ayers is under Homeland Security watch and even if Ayers wanted to try anything again, he is under tight enough control that he couldn't get a bag of fertilizer even if it were for his rose garden.
Two years ago i had the opprotunity to hear a lecture from Mark Rudd, former secretary of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), this was the organization that begat the Weathermen, and was involved with Ayers at the head of the group. He is the source for most of my info on Ayers, being that Mark himself is under close watch. These men were both considered terrorists, and extremely dangerous people. They are now BOTH out of jail, and they are obviously not dangerous to the community any longer. It's not illegal to meet with convicted fellons, and not even questionable. Ayers may be a crazy man, but come on GOP!!! You didn't even tell what circumstances Obama met him.
I am NOT a political blogger, but tis the saeason for smear campaigns, therefor tis the season for me to URGE you all not to judge books by their covers! Follow this link http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mark_Rudd&oldid=244587491

Resumes...
...are full of shit! I want to hire myself! The hell of it is that everyone KNOWS that resumes are bull. So the question is when do you stop filling your sheets of paper with platitudes of empowerment, and when does it become just about the truth? However, before I decide to take out all of this flowery speach about how awesome I am at EVERYTRHING (because I really am) there needs to be some kind of conference...like the Geneva Conventions of resumes or something like that. Let's get some damn conformity here, at least an agreement on how much bullshit to put in. It would be nice to know if employers LIKED all my "elevating" language, or if they just want the basic facts. So until then i shall continue my "booshit, booshit , booshit". Time to stop blogging and start finging a job...car payments without a cash flow are difficult to pay.

Much like Vincent Chase in the begining of season 5...
...i don't have a job...and the realization of no money til i get one is sinking in...and it sucks one.
eleven months and no random thoughts...really?
So as i said in Vol. 1, It beats the hell out of me why i started this blog...being that it's been eleven months since i posted last. Seriously though alot happened in that eleven months! Girlfriend, still here and lovin me; criminal charges, dropped; job at albuquerque's premier bowling center/motivation killer/self esteem reducer, gone; school, done in three months or so; firends, getting married. It's been pretty crazy, and in the time period between November 27, 2007 and today...I feel like its time to blog. So thanks for the welcome back, and til next random thought...
Ma'hogany.
