V for Vote
Today is Election Day. Go to the polls and vote. The U.S. has one of the lowest voter turn outs in every election – don’t be one of those people who don’t care. Democracy is a good thing. Cherish it while it’s still here.
Fashion Crime
The Marcos Family, once the most hated disease in the Philippines, is back in power and in the national spotlight. Ferdinand’s daughter is now a senator and will apparently also become a fashion designer along with her crazy mother, Imelda. Haven’t they tormented the Filipino people enough? How another Marcos was elected back in office is beyond me. Perhaps it goes to show how badly misinformed some people are in third-world countries. It’s such a shame that the same people who’ve tormented so many of their own countrymen are back trying to make money out of the fashion business which in reality acts as a “rubbing it in” insult to those in poverty. Reading the article in today’s newspaper made me so freakin’ angry. For the Philippine government to let this happen is even more irritating. Here’s a family who stole so much from poor people, spent millions on shoes and lavish clothes, and now they want to capitalize on their renewed sense of power by being entrepreneurs in the fashion business. Wake up, Filipinos! These thieves won’t stop. They got away with it once, and they’ll do it again.
You Call That a Sport?
It’s bad enough that ESPN and Fox Sports air poker tournaments on TV. Now, it’s gotten worse. I was flippin’ through the channels yesterday and lo and behold, they now have DOMINOES on TV too. Yes, folks – DOMINOES! What a joke! 4 out of shape men in their mid-40’s sitting at a table and looking at domino pieces is now considered a sport according to ESPN2. You should hear the commentary too. They talk like the players are actually showing some skills and athleticism. Dominoes on a sports channel … the world is coming to an end!
