My views on politics, life, death, the army, and other things too miscellaneous to mention here. This is a personal blog. This blog is 100% factual.

"There are some myths and untruths surrounding the role God plays in our daily lives. To say that religion and politics do not mix, is certainly a myth, unless you ask a liberal. Anything that affects a Christian (and voting is one of them) — enters into the religious realm. Trying to separate the two is like trying to separate oil from a glass of water, it's impossible to do. "

C'est Le Temps
I have been perplexed, and yes, even frustrated by the amount of time it takes blogspot to load this page lately on my browser. I assume it's general for everyone else trying to get onto the site, so I've decided to take the time to get this site hosted somewhere else.
I've considered getting on MT or bloghorn or similar software, but honestly, I like the look of this site generally. If I was a web designer, I'm sure I could tweak it until all of the cows came home to make an infinite number of essential improvements. But I'm not, and more than likely, a move to MT or something else would just wind up taking me many hours to move and upload all of my archives and posts and I would probably end up making the site look a lot worse than it already looks now. Not my idea of an ideal trade off or making a good use of my time.
No, like I said, my biggest gripe is with the load times. Blogspot is easily one of the internet's busiest servers, and while they've gotten a lot better about things over the past year, the size of my own portion of my achives, the pictures, and comunication with blogrolling, blogsnob, everything else really, puts a lot more stress on it than blogspot is really willing to give me for free . Hence, my page now takes about 10 minutes to load. Time for a change.
At this point, I'm just toying with the idea. I've done this before in the past, when Blogger was really slow, but this time I'm serious. So far, I think the best idea is to register a domain name and find some cheap webhosting, but I'm open to suggestions of what's best way to go about it, as this is my first foray into the wild world of web publishing, really. I've found webhosting for about $5/month that give me way more space and bandwidth than I think I'd ever use in this lifetime. I've also found a few register sites that do a kinda of package registration/webhosting deal.
Anyway, I hope to make a decision within the next couple of weeks.

Mechs! In Real Paintings!
Hey, guys! I've been kinda of on hiatus, trying to finish off the novel thing (which, I must say, is coming off pretty well. How the hell did that happen?). Anyway, if you're really bored, go here. It's a Something Awful photoshop thingy again, the idea behind this one to photoshop mechs (which are basically just Japanese anime robots) into classic paintings. I particularly enjoyed the Vietnam War Memorial one, and the Escher self-portrait. But the technical skill is many of these is simply amazing. Go. Check it out now.
Can't get enough. Here's one depicting Great Moments in Railroad History.
Oh yeah, and have a uber Happy Thanksgiving!

Notes on the Subtitles
My long standing subtitle for this site, The Apple Coda, went something like this:
"Holistic Medication for the Brain"
Which got me spam-listed on any number of home-remedy sites that made a huge point of saying they linked to my site on in their emails (but actually didn't -they just wanted me to visit their site, and maybe buy a few hundred dollars worth of "holistic remedies").
Spam is annoying.
But anyway, before I got into the "Holistic Medication" thing, I would change up the subtitle to something or other every couple of days. Recently, I found a great new quote via The Poor Man, who links to this thing:
There are some myths and untruths surrounding the role God plays in our daily lives. To say that religion and politics do not mix, is certainly a myth, unless you ask a liberal. Anything that affects a Christian (and voting is one of them) — enters into the religious realm. Trying to separate the two is like trying to separate oil from a glass of water, it's impossible to do.
This was a fantastic quote, so I decided to edit it a bit into a single line and make it my subtitle for a couple of days. Then I got the tub of cement idea, so...I edited the quote a little more...
I'm a little annoyed that the quote takes up so much of the page, but oh well. I'll change it to something hopefully shorter soon. But really, it's just one of those really great sincere fantastic quotes you find from time to time on the net.
In conclusion, I urge you to read a little bit more of The Poor Man, and also, Kaye Grogan.
Reading them together is like trying to combine oil and water into a perfectly homogeneous mixture. And boy, when you try to separate those two...
Sorry, I'm a scientist. It still cracks me up.

The Kerry Kampaign Follies!
Well, y'know, I've generally been of the opinion that Kerry, while he didn't run a perfect campaign, really did do his best to beat George Bush. I probably would never have believed that if I hadn't seen how well he performed at the debates, but I've got a fantastic imagination. Honestly, I would've found something positive to have said about Kerry days before the election, if only because of the fact that he was running against George Bush.
This DailyKos story, though, in which Kerry decided not to spend up to $15 fucking million dollars in campaign contributions, electing to save it up for a rainy day, has my jaw dropping. $15 fucking million dollars that could've been spent on underfunded Democratic candidates across the country in very tight Senate and House races, most of which we lost, from his very own fucking campaign.
He sat on it.
Now I won't pretend to know why. Kos suggests a sleeper fund for a possible 2008 Presidential bid for Kerry, or maybe even a little something for the Democratic commitees and future DNC Chairman Tom Vilsack to win over the party establishment to ensure Kerry gets the 2008 bid.
I just hope that Kos is totally wrong in his speculations. While I do think the Kerry Campaign wasn't a complete disaster, and I'm trying to resist the temptation to posion our own well as best I can, a 2008 bid for President from John Kerry is an unmitigated walking disaster waiting to happen. It is a disaster designed to cost us even more seats in 2006 as we sit on our butts and watch and wait for Senator John Kerry to re-emerge as our savior in 2008 with the approval of the DNC and the $15 million "surplus" already spent greasing their own asses.
And I really am trying to stay away from putting on the tinfoil, but if the Democratic establishment consciously decided to put away $15 million in campaign contributions for this election into some kind of a rainy day fund for Kerry 2008, yknow, just in case Kerry 2004 wasn't going to work out -well, then, they need to fucking go. Now.

Bad Boys, Hey R.E.M. Fucking Sucks Right Guys, and I Guess I Have Joined Ranks with the Cultural Elite!
Well, I was working long and hard, practically slaving away at my novel for National Novel Writing Month, when I had the notion to check out for a bit and see what was going on in cultural internetland.
Not a hell of a lot, apperently.
So anyway, just a few observations. The first thing that caught me up was the commercial for Bridget Jones' Diary Part 2. Now I don't know really anything of the plot for the first one, as I think I was "forced" to watch it with my girlfriend at the time, and I must've done a good job blotting most of it out of my memory as that's the only think I remember about it. I did remember that Hugh Grant was in the first one, I think (he's been in a lot of "chick" movies, though, so maybe I'm blurring him into all of them, I'm not really sure). The commercial, anyway (and this is taking way too long to set up, I know), poses the question -is Bridget going to fall for "bad boy" Hugh Grant again. If Hugh Grant is any woman's conception of a "bad boy," I think we've all been taking the bad boy shit far too seriously. I guess in this world view, John Travola as Danny in Grease also counts as a bad boy. I guessing, but there's worse shit out there than those two. Iggy Pop comes to mind. Actually that reminds me, I'll be checking myself into a methadone clinic next week, so posting might be kinda sporadic.
Also, wherefore all of the internet R.E.M. bashing? This is just the latest one I've seen, but over the last couple of years, REM trashing -ironically or no- has become a pretty popular sport. It's like a cool new club where all the cool people can hang out without reprimands. Nope, not here. I've gererally run over the positive end of the course with REM over the years -rabid fan to occasional listener -and yeah, they're just a band. They're not perfect or anything. I absolutely hate "Everybody Hurts" with the fucking passion of a lonely leper, and they've had some other stinkers, too, but seriously, why the hate, people? It guess it's just that they seem so irrelevant to the popular culture today, that it kinda makes me scratch my head in the same way I would if someone said that they had bought the latest Herman's Hermits album and thought it was a big waste of money.
Third, and seriously, conservatives need to shut up about the new cultural "mandate" of the moral majority, and liberals need to seriously shut up about their newfound cultural elitism. Ted Rall, in particular. I slime Ted Rall because of this fine little rant, but also because he slammed REM at one point. I mean, in general, I think Rall is great. Really. I mean, he's "offensive," and he really has a rotten attitude about pretty much everything, but he's also a liberal who's completely unapologetic about pissing off the politically correct. Which is rare. I mean, shitting on Pat Tilman after he's dead, and making fun of the 9/11 widows who spoke at the Republican convention takes a shitload of balls. But he's fagging it up by saying we got to respect those uber trendy dinks in Manhattan and other big cities as being intellectually superior to those who don't live in big cities. And worse, he's just being dishonest. Yokels in the Red States are stupid because of a lack of access to information? Hey, I've just heard that the Red States do have internet access and cable tv (and in the parts that don't have it yet, there's satellite internet and tv!) And our big "high quality" big city newspapers contain just as much trite shit as their small dinky ones. They just carry more AP wire stuff, while our papers pay their own shitty staff to report the exact same stories day after day. There's no such thing as "high quality" media. Our alternative paper, the Washington CityPaper, is by far the worst "alternative" newsweekly I've ever seen in any city, large or small. And it has virtually no competetion in a major media market. But they all suck. Ted Rall, a cartoonist carried mainly by the alternative newsweeklies, has pointed that out many times in the past himself.
And I certainly didn't move to a major city because I had some deep-rooted desire to experience "real" culture or be intellectually stimulated in a way I wasn't back home, as Rall suggests as the reason why most of the nations best and brightest move to the big cities. If I wanted that I probably would've just gone ahead and studied abroad (France, maybe? Is that stereotypically intellectually stimulating enough to contrast with the boring unstimulating Heartland? I don't know) during some part of my time in college. I moved here because I wanted a job in bio-medical research, so I moved to one of exactly three areas in this country where there are concentrated jobs in the field of bio-medical research. I didn't move because I thought the people I left behind were "conformists", or thought they were far too stupid to be seen hanging around with such a high-minded intellectual such as moi -I moved because I could get a higher-paying job that supported my education elsewhere. It was as simple as that.
Also, in my last ironic contradiction tonight of my own cultural liberalism, I urge you to read Gene Lyons latest review of the Left Behind novel series in this month's Harpers, and then go out and buy the series and read them for yourself. I'm pretty sure I'm never laughed as hard at a book review before as I did at Lyons' quoting some of the passages in these books. Anyone who names their protagonists "Rayford Steele," and "Hattie Durham," includes unborn fetuses amoung the raptured, has Jesus chastise the Antichrist for preaching evolution (on national tv, no less, as apparently the Apocalypse will be Televised), and has Jesus appear as an overweight costumed professional wrestler in a flowing white robe on a white horse (the reviewer makes the case that it's puzzling why Jesus would have to wear a get-up like that while riding a horse unless he was riding it side-saddle like 'a 19th century gentlewoman') -I mean, Tim LaHaye is a fucking genius.
"It was the worst of times; it was the worst of times." begins Nicolae, the third book of the series!
A "drop-dead gorgeous" woman named Hattie? Seriously, whether intentionally or unintentionally hillarious, these have to be must-reads for the New World Order.

Keep the Faith
I've kinda resigned myself to the fact that, for the next month or so, that whatever happens, the political situation really cannot get much worse than it is. So I'm going to post, at best, very sporatically here the next month or so, maybe longer.
Generally, I tend write my best stuff when things are looking bleak, I guess. Therefore, I'm focusing on writing my novel for National Novel Writing Month, and a bunch of other stuff that's come up that I won't bother you with.
And seriously, I really don't know what to add about the election and stuff. It sucks. We're seriously in some mojo trouble with a capital T, but it hasn't become completely horrible yet.
I think.
I mean, if it gets really horrible out there, just do your best. I'll do my best. And please, make yourself heard somehow.
I'll be back at some point, and at this point all I can do is hope. I gotta hope that the President tries a little harder this time around. And if he doesn't, he'll hear from me, but before that I'm sure he'll be hearing a lot from other people that care about how things are run in America more than I do.
And there are a ton of people, people like you, who are like that. I can only applaud you for that. I love this country because of that. And I really hope, I pray, that people like you never get discouraged.
Keep the faith.
Edit: If you need inspiration, music can help. While you all have your own music preferences, O.A.R always gets me in a good mood, and they're one of the few bands to really get me up to out-skank the Man, politically speaking. The offer a couple minutes of each song from their entire music catalogue on the web (choose how you want to display the player, then click the ofarevolution player on the bottom of the screen), so check em out.

Well, Golly Fuck! A Post-Reaction Election Post...
You know, I was totally going to just go ahead and retire this blog after John Kerry won the Presidency. I thought it had run it's course, I figured the country would be back on the right track, and pretty much all of that. A sane government is a good government, and it would feel good to leave well enough alone. Retire Bill Duckwing, write the Great American Novel, and well, y'know.
On the plus side, the Democratic Party has such limited options in governing our Nation at this point, that I feel in a way it can't help but unite us. Fewer paths to diverge from in the wood, you know. We could secede the Blue States from the Union and combine with Canada to form the United States of Canada -of course we'll give you amnesty in a heartbeat if you're a Red State Democrat forced to emigrate to our new country illegally.
The Senate, our only real scope of influence, has been pretty much stipped of the Southern Zell Miller boll-weevils that used to plague our party, so it'll be easier for Harry Reid or whoever becomes the new Minority Leader to keep our ducks in a row and to strategize a clearer message. To put it another way, our congressman are pretty much only confined to their Blue State Democrat base at this point, so the opportunity to hammer out a stronger message becomes easier to manage without having to worry about lunatics on our side screaming "Spitballs!!! Just Spitballs! And faggots fucking!!! Like Dogs!"
And we've got a fucking force of nature on our hands with the meteoric emergence of Barack Obama, easily the strongest and most charismatic politician I've seen in my lifetime. I'm serious, I've never seen a public speaker as engaging or as eloquent or as enticing to the general thread of human appeal the way Barack Obama is. But as someone on the SomethingAwful forums suggested -all we have left is a six-shooter, and Obama is our last bullet (for all practical purposes of this analogy). We have to be cautious and make sure we know when the time is right to fire that last shot.
That said, I'm shocked and appalled by the outcome of this election. But I'm not going to suck on grapes about it. While this election has given me a horrible (and hopefully false) impression of the America people, since we've already made it through four years of this Fuckwad already, we might, barring some Apocalyptic freak-out, get through four more. And we might take refuge in the fact that there could possibly be worse Republicans out there serving as our President than George Bush. Imagine a President Tom Coburn, for instance (newly elected Senator from Oklahoma), or a President Alan Keyes, or a President Jim DeMint(also a newly elected Senator from South Carolina), all of whom I think have now taken this election to be a public mandate calling for the public crucifixion of doctors who perform abortions and homosexuals. Hey, you know what I'm saying? Huh? Think about that for a second, as I imagine since they're all Republicans they'd all be easily elected President in this Country! It could be worse! Come to think of it, maybe if one of these yahoos gets the nomination in 2008, we'll look back on the next four years like they were just a big slice of fucking heaven!
But I want to get back into a kinda of constructive assessment. Put the Democrats who say that to win back all of the Evangelical fucktards out there who are ready for the Apocalypse and who voted Bush we need to move further to the Right out of your head. They ain't swinging back our way ever. And honestly, I don't want them in my party. That Big Tent theory we have only stretches so far before it begins to rip.
Don't go too far into libertarianism. That's hard for me, because my own politics tend to drift into the libertarian mode on a lot of issues, mostly social, but also economic. Not quite Ann Rand, but close enough at times. Unfortunately, libertarianism is the biggest fat loser on the planet when it comes to American politics. Sure -the no taxes part of libertarianism is great and all, but Americans really love their subsidies and state pork entitlements and shit. And if you want to convince Americans that you're a Satan worshipper who wants to enslave their children to the psychotic influence of mara-hoo-gee (this drug educator guy came to my school when I was a kid and for some reason kept pronouncing it like 150 times just like that -so it still tends to pop up in my head from time to time), say you're a social libertarian. Works like a charm.
Don't think like Timothy Noah. He actually used to be one of my favorite writers for Slate and a big reason why I became a regular reader. Then, at some point right before the Iraq War started, his brain just totally snapped, and now he's easily one the most vague and funny Bush apologists writing on the net. Read him for derision or laughs if that's the kinda thing you like -I don't there's anybody that reads him for anything else for now. I was originally going to cite him just for this, but this one also came out today. What fun!
Above all, Don't Panic!(tm)
It's not the end of America's political sanity, it's just the beginning of the end.

The Apple Coda's Super Election Night Mega-Post
I can't promise I'll be up all night if the election is too close to declare a winner, but I'll try to update as much as I can throughout the night. I'll mostly be staying put on MSNBC, put I'll flip around FoxNews, CNN, and a couple of the Networks to get as much of a vibe from as many different people as I can. I'll also, surf the net and post any links I find interesting.
And it's 6:00, and the polls have already closed in certain parts of Indiana and Kentucky. And away we go.
Update (6:20 PM): Holy crap -everybody's getting attacked tonight! So far, I've lost Kos, Electoral-Vote.com, Slate, and Zogby. Heh, maybe some of that traffic will trickle down tonight.
Via Atrios, some of the exit polling numbers, from Slate, which of course have to be taken with a monstrously huge grain of salt.
Update (6:35 PM): I'm going to get on the cliche bandwagon for now. For now, I'm "guardedly optimistic..." I'm am interpreting all of the exit polling data, along with the Zogby data predicting a plus 300 point Electoral Vote lead, with a "grain of salt." And I encourage you, have you not done so, remember not to get "too overconfident" and "GOTV! GOTV! GOTV!" C'mon, there's still at least 20 minutes left on the East Coast (of course, if you live in the rest of the country, you got a bit more time, but "time is running out!")
Update (7:15 PM): Some big surprises here. Indiana, Georgia, and Kentucky all go for Bush. Vermont goes for Kerry. Let me check my pulse. Okay.
Update (7:53 PM): They called West Virginia pretty quickly for Bush, which is a bit of a bummer, because I was hoping Kerry would be a bit more competetive there. But it was a Bush state, and nobody was really figuring Kerry would actually win it. My optimism is started to become a bit more guarded.
Update (8:50 PM): Absolutely nothing going on right now. But 9:00 PM draws near. I'm getting a little nervous.
Update (9:30 PM): I think the networks are calling it way too conservative with some of the states. For instance, Pennslyvania -the exit polls combined with how the tallies that are comming out show a clear win for Kerry there. Why the hesitation? At this point, I'd like to see more come out in Florida and Ohio, or at least some good news here. Anything. Going to be a long night, whether intentionally or not.
Update (9:50 PM): Ralph Nader is getting a small tiny neglegiable amount of votes (thousands compared to hundreds of thousands for Bush and Kerry) according to the vote tallies in Florida. But if the difference leads to a Bush victory in the hundreds or thousands, I promise will personally beat the crap Ralph Nader.
Update (9:52 PM): Also, I've got to say, comparing the exit polls with the vote tallies in so far, that Kerry has won New Hampshire tonight.
Update (10:03 PM): Shit. Miami-Dade is only slightly going for Kerry. 54%. And with 64% of the vote already in from Miami-Dade, the hold-out of the Democratic counties, I've got a bad feeling about Florida. It's going to be a fucking long night.
Update (10:50 PM): Well, you know, I was kinda hoping for a short night, but with so many urban preciencts not yet reporting, we still have a long way to go. No such luck, but I think Kerry is still very much in contention. Kerry is closing the gap in Ohio and counting. He might lose Florida, but I think the end tally will be far too close for comfort. Joe Scarborough is almost ready to call the election for Bush, but I think he's just ready for an early nap. No dice, Joe. And they finally call Pennslyvania for Kerry (and Arizona for Bush). Cool.
Update (10:58 PM): Youth vote are out in numbers, it's just that as a percentage of the increased turnout, it's still low. Exit polling show they only made up 17% of the electorate. Damn.
Update (11:16 PM): Alan Keyes is a nutjob. That's all. And California and Washington state go for Kerry. Absolutely no surprises yet tonight. Looks like the polls pretty much got it for the mood of the electorate tonight.
Update (11:35 PM): Kos ready to call it for Bush, apparently. I doubt it -there are still huge fucking lines in Ohio, and while I don't know if it's going to be enough to make up for the Bush lead, it's possible. The newscasters and pundits believe that Bush needs to respect the fact that the nation is very divided. I'm sure that's going to happen if Bush does win re-election. I'm certainly not going to say Bush has won it -really. The popular vote tally doesn't look good, but I think Kerry is still going to win New Hampshire plus all of the other Gore states from 2000. But it's still spooky. Us Kerry folks need some good news before we go to bed.
Update (11:55 PM): And still no good news yet. Florida goes Bush. It's a crimp, especially when you look at the stats for Ohio, but Ohio isn't in Bush's column yet -not by a long shot. And Kerry is looking to take back almost all of the Gore states (exception -New Mexico) -we're kinda sucking on the congressional races, but y'know, what are you going to do.
Update (12:20 AM): Well, that's all for tonight. They're obviously not going to call any of these other states tonight, so I'll check it out tomorrow morning with the rest of you and see how it stacks up. I was hoping against hope for an early decision, but oh well. Thanks a fucking lot, America.

John Kerry For President
I was totally going to fuck with you guys, and write something ironic like "Ralph Nader for President." And I had it all lined up -"You want total security? Ralph Nader will give you total security, as nothing will ever be imported into this country again during a Nader Presidency."
But, unfortunately, I realized that endorsements are serious affairs. And since I will be voting for John Kerry in my imagination, I figured out that it would make sense to make a formal endorsement here on my site.
The reasons for why I am voting for John Kerry easily number in the thousands. Perhaps millions. Imagine that for one moment. Millions of reasons for voting for someone...
Pretend that someone already took out the time to make a list for all the reasons to vote for John Kerry in advance on paper. It would easily take you the rest of your life to read through all of them and make up your mind. Easily. And then you wouldn't be able to vote for John Kerry anymore, because you'd only be down to #4632 or so when the polls close on election day. And it'd all be moot, because you'd still have millions of reasons left to go.
So a summary on the reasons to vote for John Kerry is essential. Here's a couple.
1.) John Kerry Grew Up Like 25 Years Ago! -John Kerry made the transition from activist peacenik to legislator fairly quickly. I respect that. I love the argument people make that since John Kerry smoozed with Jane Fonda when he was younger, he's obviously still a fucking hippy. And then they defend George W. Bush, you was obviously a total frat boy fuckwad for most of his life, and give him a free pass when he hasn't even shown an iota of evidence that he isn't still a snarky uber-asshole who thinks running our country is just a game. Fucking over the other side was fun back when Clinton was President, but I'm getting sick of it, and it's time to elect someone who shows an interest in taking diplomacy with other nations seriously.
2.) John Kerry has Great Hair! -Honestly, John Kerry has the best hair I've ever seen in a potential president. I mean, Bush and Clinton have practically the same hair, a scary curly fuck-mop of a hair-do. And of course Bush Sr.'s hair was way to wispy to be Presidential. Honestly, I think John Kerry's hair is a force of nature. No President in my lifetime has ever come near it in volume and definition. It's time to have a President with Great Hair. This is the most important election in my lifetime -I'll be fucked I'm going to be stuck with another President with shitting hair for another four years.
3.) John Kerry is not Adolph Hitler! -It'll be nice to have a President for a change that does not evoke comparisons to Adolph Hitler. There is no obvious evidence that suggests that Kerry is an anti-Semite, or un-necessarily authoritarian. Who knows, maybe Godwin's Law applied to American Politics will become an obsolete notion under a Kerry Administration. Well, one can hope, right?
4.) John Kerry Will Dope Our Children Up with Pot and LSD! -Probably the coolest thing about a John Kerry Presidency would be the notion of revitalizing the Acid Tests of the 60's by doping our children up by lacing kids flouride with LSD. Researchers have claimed for decades that children in schools would "be able to grok quite a bit more out of their readers if only LSD were used in and educational facility." John Kerry would finally make this a reality, because he hung out with John Lennon and Jane Fonda, and hasn't forgotten. George Bush's "Leave No Child Behind" legistation has proven an unmittigating faliure. I think John Kerry's "Leave No Child Unhigh" proposal shows unlimited potential.
Well, I've covered four reasons to vote for John Kerry this year. If you're still unconvinced, I can of course recommend to you a couple of books that go into hundreds of reasons to vote for John Kerry tomorrow. Still, well short of the million. But whatever.
But I'm not going to do that. Because you've already made up your mind, and whoever or whatever you're voting for tomorrow, I urge you to do so.

Damn it, Schilling!
I'm kinda bummed out that Curt Schilling made a "surprise stop" for Bush.
But, y'know, whatever. Curt Schilling is way too cool to be slammed by me or anyone else for this. And if I do see some ribbing over this, let me be first on the front lines to tear their tonsils out. Flipside -I'm sure a lot of the boomer Repubs are quite heartbroken over Bruce Springsteen's endorsement of Kerry. I don't care about that, either, because I for one will always think Springsteen's music sucks a big blue-collar dong.
But I do kinda wish all these guys would just shut up and vote and stop thinking we all actually care about where they stand politically. Regardless...
Curt Schilling, you're a hero in my eyes. Make sure you keep that bloody sock.
