Britney/Iraq
Yes hair today, gone tomorrow. Actually it’s a little more complicated than that. Britney Jean Spears whose been at the center of the media’s glare since the ripe old age of 17, is now a shadow of her former self. I actually feel very sorry for her, I know I’m a hypriocrate. I’ve been knocking her overly sexual antics since she was 17, who could forget her dressing up like a “school girl” at that age in Rolling Stone, to this day I thought she was a slut for doing it. Plus her sexual acts to kissing Madonna and so forth, so I should just shut up tell her she got what she got coming to her and that’s it. Well I can’t, a part of me feels sorry for her, she didn’t do this to be cool or hip, she did it because the pressure(especially the media attention) got to her. She’s been out of control for the past six months or so. I feel she’s heading down an Anna Nicole Smith road. As much as resent her and what she does, she doesn’t deserve it. This isn’t cool, it’s somebody who has had with her the pressures of this business. If she doesn’t get help for herself, at least for the children, it’s no fun having a mom who parties and does wild antics like spreading your legs. For her sake I hope her friends and family get her some help, if not well the road she ends up with may not be the one she wanted when she started.
This nonbinding resolution on Iraq being debated this weekend is really a waste of our time. I mean what’s the point of it, it just says that the Congress disapproves of Bush’s troop funding, so what. I’m aganist it to, but why should any of them waste their time going through this it’s a pure shriade it’s meaningless, it basically reaffirms the status quo. I respect the senators and congressmen who didn’t show up for the vote than the people who participated in it, it’s a waste of the public’s time. Now Republicans who say this is aid and comfort to the enemy better watch their language. To me that is plain scare tactics that has divided Republicans and Democrats for years. We don’t need it, you can say to Democrats your wasting the public’s time, but giving comfort to the enemy, watch it. Even if I think it’s basically silly, it’s still something they believe in. Bush basically doesn’t need to respond to what’s going on he can say screw you basically, he shouldn’t care what lawmakers say in this case. But he should realize that this is the last stand, people like me have almost had it, if the Iraqis can’t defend themselves, if we are doing the fighting, if Malikis government can’t stop the militias or Sadr, by at least the fall, then adios amigos. Our soldiers have fought bravely for too long and we have to see progress and if we don’t see improvements in those areas we will definitely have to redeploy our troops and end this war, we’ve already been there for about four years. Something has got to give!!

I’m probably leaning more towards Obama. My boyfriend of 2 years broke up with me Friday, so right now I am not doing the best but I will be ok
You are so exactly right. When I used to do Student Congress competitions, some students would draft resolutions and it was like, “Why are we debating a resolution when all it is is a ‘strong statement’ from the people’s representatives? It doesn’t CHANGE anything most of the time. If you want to take the time to DRAFT something, draft an AMENDMENT or a BILL! Resolutions are pointless, because Bush is so damned bullheaded, egotistical and triggerhappy that he has made it VERY clear that he doesn’t care what the people want, he doesn’t care what Congress wants, he doesn’t care what his own PARTY wants and he doesn’t care what the Iraqi citizens want. He’s going to do what he WANTS, HOW he wants to do it and WHEN he wants to do it, and that’s it. It’s bullshit and a waste of our time to make a “strong statement” to the President in the form of a resolution when he won’t even see what’s in front of his face and what is in black and white right in front of him. Can someone give me a reason why we are still there and this man has not been impeached already?? Every reason he gives for the war has been a lie, an “oversight” or “mistake” or plain out bullshit. I’m tired of seeing Iraqis and Americans get killed for no good reason but the fact that Bush wants to occupy Baghdad, yet we have smugglers bringing drugs over our border which are killing our American people and we can’t even stop THAT in our own COUNTRY!
Ok, my rant is over. I’m just have one more thing to say: OBAMA, TAKE US AWAY!!
