This post is belated, since the Earthquake and resulting Tsunami happened last Friday. My thoughts and hopes are with the people of Japan as they continue to cope with the aftermath of the Tsunami and current nuclear crisis going on.

I have to however, say something about many of the twitter, facebook, and other comments I've been seeing out there. Such things like this being God's payback for Pearl Harbor. Japan getting what it deserves. Bullshit. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

Once again, and I can't believe I have to say this. God didn't send the Tsunami, didn't start the Earthquake, and certainly didn't punish Japan because of Pearl Harbor. Let it go freaks. God doesn't care about our petty little fights. God doesn't punish nations or people. God doesn't need to, we do it all ourselves, so let it go and stop being such assholes.

Please, if you haven't already, donate something to help the Japanese people.

If you are concerned about the genocide in Darfur and like John Lennon's music perhaps you would like to get the new album Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur, which reprises John Lennon's music played by many various artists.

Either get the CD, even though I've suggested before people shouldn't buy CDs anymore, or download from online stores like iTunes.

The debate seems to be for most people that time will tell whether George Bush was right in his decision to go to war. In the mean time it is 'irresponsible', Bush asserts in his veterans day speech, for democrats to claim that The White House lied to the country in its arguments to go to war with Iraq when everyone had access and saw the same information that the President and The White House saw and used. It may be true that those who did vote for the war shouldn't be claiming they were lied to and shouldn't themselves be held responsible for using bad judgment in allowing the President to conduct this war.

They should all be held responsible: The White House, the Senate, the House, the FBI, the CIA, for allowing this war to happen and for the conduct of the war. It may be that Iraq will lift itself up and become a beacon of light for the rest of area yet this Iraq war will never have been the right decision. There are any number of other things that could have been done in the fight against terrorism. The failure of the House and Senate to keep The White House in check is monumental, allowing The White House to conduct itself the way it has. Despite the decision to go to war it should have been handled better, and our representatives again show their inabilities every day.

I also want to mention that my heart goes out to the victims and their families of the bombings in Amman.

Wow so the Democrats finally seem to be showing a spine. Bushes failed nomination of Harriet Miers even seemed to have the Republican base angry. The indictment of Lewis Libby, the failures of the government and FEMA during Katrina, and the democrats seizing the moment to renew investigation into the run-up to the Iraq invasion are hammering the White House with bad news.

Once agian it's been a while since I posted anything, I've got some new material I hope to update the site with but I'm taking the hard classes at the university now and don't have nearly as much time anymore for the site. This MLP post was brought to you by the letter N.

London was attacked today, 4 bombs went off semi-simultaneously in 3 subway stations and a double decker bus. Al-Qaeda seem to have claimed responsibility for the attacks. My heart goes out to the victims and their families.

Its been a little while since I last made a post. So what's happened between now and then? Apparently, George Bush has been loosing and gaining people in his cabinet (more). Most notibly Condoleezza Rice for Secretary of State replacing Colin L. Powell and Alberto R. Gonzales for Secretary of Justice replacing John D. Ashcroft. Can't say I'm happy to have one of the architects for the war in Iraq (Rice) and the defender of the attrocious torture at Guantanamo (Gonzales) as Secretary of anything. George Bush was also sworn in at the Inauguration.

My heart and mind goes out to all the people who lost their loved ones and those who lost their lives in the tsunami which happened last month.

In personal news, the semester ended relatively well and over the Christmas vacation I was able to get some work done. It's now the second week of the new semster, the only class of note I am taking Chemestry and I hope to put up some of the tools I use to study as the semester goes on.
