Reading this just pisses me the hell off. Our men and women are getting killed over, people are being blown up and maimed and for what?

Nine Years Later
So here we are as another year has passed and another anniversary is upon us. It's now nine years since that God awful September day and I've been thinking about how much my view point on the whole situation has changed since then. I did some digging and found a post I made in the old Riot WOW Yahoo group a little after four that afternoon. Shock was still setting in as you can imagine and I just posted a few paragraphs to people I knew back then.
I live in New York City. my college is no more
then 3 blocks away from what was the world trade
center. today is a day i wish we could do over. i keep
hoping i'm gonna wake but then i put fox news on and i
see the replay of the jet crashing into the tower.
today probably over 30,000 people died in the biggest
disaster in american history.
i know i'm gonna go off on a rant....but i need to vent this. this is
just so unimaginable. the worst thing anyone ever
thought could happened would be a chemical attack with
maybe anthrax or small pox in lower manhattan or maybe
a small nuclear device gets set off and part of
manhattan gets blown away. but this no one thought could
happen. i personally hope the person who is responsible
for this is caught and is then slowly killed. these
people deserve a slow and painful death.
My thoughts and prayers go out to anyone who was killed and
injured in this attack.
oh god please wake me
Now obviously it wasn't as bad as many feared it could have been with 30,000 dead that day. The official toll at the World Trade Center as of today is 2,752 dead and God knows how many more dying from all the stuff that was in the air down there after the attacks.I am really trying to bite my tongue right now so I don't sound like a raving lunatic. 9/11 is a day I so vividly remember and it's clear to me and so many others that everything we saw on television and that happened after it was all one big lie. I'm not going to get into 9/11 conspiracies. Most people who know me know where I stand on that whole issue. All I do know is it's nine years later and we still have a giant hole in the fucking ground down there. What's being built is a testament to the coruption and greed of the LMDC, Pataki, and Silverstien, and anyone else involved in the "rebuilding". I'm sure the 9/11 Memorial once it's finished will be something amazing to see so that the day is never forgotten. But 1 World Trade Center aka The Freedom Tower is a joke.
They should have started rebuilding the Twin Towers the moment the last piece of debris was cleared from Ground Zero.
Nine years later and what is everyone concerned about now? Some Mosque two blocks away and a nut case Preacher who wants to burn some Koran's. Hey how about where's that Bin Laden fellow or why the hell are we even still bothering with Afghanistan is the "enemy" isn't really there anymore?
This is why I hate writing about 9/11, I'm all over the place right now. Emotions are running high as usual.
I think I will close with this. It's nine years later and we're supposed to believe a couple of nimrods were able to pull off flying a 757 less then a foot off the ground with out so much as leaving a scratch on the lawn of the Pentagon and that same 757 fit into a 16 foot wide hole.
Ponder that as the media cranks up the distractions today.

This one speaks for it self
http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/03/19/saudi.arabia.sorcery/index.html?hpt=Sbin
(CNN) -- Amnesty International is calling on Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah to stop the execution of a Lebanese man sentenced to death for "sorcery."
(CNN) -- Amnesty International is calling on Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah to stop the execution of a Lebanese man sentenced to death for "sorcery."
In a statement released Thursday, the international rights group condemned the verdict and demanded the immediate release of Ali Hussain Sibat, former host of a popular call-in show that aired on Sheherazade, a Beirut based satellite TV channel.
According to his lawyer, Sibat, who is 48 and has five children, would predict the future on his show and give out advice to his audience.
The attorney, May El Khansa, who is in Lebanon, tells CNN her client was arrested by Saudi Arabia's religious police (known as the Mutawa'een) and charged with sorcery while visiting the country in May 2008. Sibat was in Saudi Arabia to perform the Islamic religious pilgrimage known as Umra.
Sibat was then put on trial. In November 2009, a court in the Saudi city of Medina found Sibat guilty and sentenced him to death.
Someone want to remind me why we bother with these nutcases again...
Oh yeah the Oil thing.

Haiti, Brown's Win, And Other Assorted thoughts for 1/21/09
So I am doing my best to try and keep this thing updated with new content straight from the ever jumbled mess that is my mind.
Watching the news coming out of Haiti is sad to say the least. Haiti by all accounts is on the same level as any number of Central African countries. Years of corruption and mismanagement left the poor half of the Isle of Hispaniola in a tough spot. This coming Friday night there's going to be this huge Hollywood telethon for Haiti. What this plans to accomplish I don't know other then a lot of rich people being able to say "they did something". Money is not the answer when it comes to Haiti. Billions have been given to them before and many Billions will go to the rebuilding and it won't do much good if the same inept Government is in charge of it all. The only solution I see is the most simple one and that's Haiti needs to become a full fledged US Territory. Haitians are always trying to come to this country in the most desperate and dangerous of ways. Well I say lets just make it a a territory and lets rebuild from the inside out. Granted this idea might be a stretch but it has to be better then the US Military being stationed there for an indefinite amount of time. I think many would agree if Haiti became a US Territory it would solve so many problems with the tiny little Island nation. Who knows if it became a territory in 20 or 30 years it might not be the hell hole it's been for so long.
Moving along, here in the states a huge upset occurred in the special election to fill the seat of Ted Kennedy when Scott Brown a Republican won. If this were any other state it might not be such a big deal, but when it's the bluest of the blue states in Massachusets and it's Ted Kennedy's seat it's about as big of an upset as it gets. Many who voted for him had voted for Obama in 2008 and voted for him simply because they were sick and tired of Obama's agenda. The woman that Brown defeated, Martha Coakley would have been another rubber stamp vote in the senate so the people of Massachusetts to their credit said HELL NO and they voted in someone different. Now I only hope that Mr. Brown is what he appears to be and he doesn't get corrupted by the Beltway insiders of the GOP. The Republicans much like the Democrats have the same kind of ilk who ruin people so I only hope Brown's win is the first of many wins this year where incumbents on both sides find themselves being thrown out of office. The status quo and people just assuming they will have their seat for life is no longer something that will happen. 2010 is just the start of what many hope will be a real change in Washington as the old either retire or are forced out to the pasture. It's not to say there aren't some good long term people in Congress, but the vast majority of them are there just because people vote them in over and over because they don't know any better. I think 2010 will be the year that changes.
Apparently China is up to it's old tricks and at Cyber war with Google. They did a huge cyber attack on Google trying to get e-mails and other information on humanitaran types and others. Why does this sort of stuff surprise anyone anymore? China despite all the money we've pumped into it and all the money of ours they own still is Communist and you can never trust a Commie. Google is now saying they'll leave China unless China lifts it's censorship rules. Yeah there's a fat chance that will happen. Even if China suddenly said OK GOOGLE YOU WIN if anyone thinks for a minute they would actually free up the Internet over there I have a bridge here in New York I can sell you.
I saw this article yesterday and I just had to shake my head.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1244689/Saudi-girl-13--sentenced-90-lashes-took-mobile-phone-school.html
A 13 year old girl in Saudi Arabia will be getting 90 lashes for the horrible unforgivable crime of having a cell phone on her. I don't think I can say anything that probably hasn't been said all ready about the joke that is Saudi Arabia. If there is any country in the world where the people should rise up and over throw the religious government that controls them it's the people of Saudi Arabia. Next to Iran that country is just begging for a revolution. Of course odds are if there ever was one it would just replace one ruling family of wackjobs with another. But hey maybe women could at least walk with someone they aren't married to or even sit in the front seat of a car and dare I say drive. I really hope we've hit peak oil because if any country deserves to lose it's wealth and power it's them.
I think that's it for now. 2010 is off to an interesting start so here's to the rest of the year.

Random Thoughts For The First Monday Of The New Year
So we've made it to 2010 and part of me is very disappointed. Being a firm believer in doom and gloom the fact nothing has happened up until this point has left me wondering if all this doom that has been predicted will ever happen.
Okay who am I kidding. I am very happy nothing has happened yet. Cumbre Vieja hasn't broken off from the volcano on La Palma in the Canary Islands causing a massive mega tsunami to head for the entire Eastern seaboard, Yellowstone hasn't erupted yet, and most shockingly California hasn't sunken into the sea.
I went to Best Buy today and first off the little snow storm we were having was amazing. Not so much for the snow but the wind. The wind right off the water where the Best Buy around here is was something else.
The music section was a complete mess and I couldn't find hardly anything I was looking for as usual. This is why I shop mostly on Ebay now. Not only is it cheaper, but everything is at least organized correctly. I did however pick up Chickenfoot's album along with Play My Game by Tim 'Ripper' Owens, and Liebe ist für alle da (German: "Love is there for everyone) by Rammstein. Apparently the album is censored in Germany because of the song title "Ich tu dir weh"(I hurt you) and a piece of art in the album. It's on The List of Media Harmful to Young People in Germany. I fear some day we might have the same thing in this country when a group of unelected people decide what is and isn't moral. They want to do it to the Internet (it's happening in Australia right now) so physical media wouldn't be to far behind if they can pull that off here.
Thank's to a gift card from Amazon I was able to get Alice In Chain's new album "Black Gives Way to Blue" which is amazing and you should get it if you don't have it all ready. I also got "Nostradamus" by Judas Priest, The Rise Of The Forth Reich by Jim Marrs, Bret Hart's book Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling , and Common Sense, The Rights of Man and Other Essential Writings of Thomas Paine. I also got a couple of Barnes & Nobel classics in Dracula and Wuthering Heights. Looking at all the books I have, I am in need of a bookshelf.
Other then that there is not much of interest going on.
So here's to 2010 and let's hope it's a good one for all of us.

Looks like we're back here
Blogmageddon is moving back here for the long haul. So bare with me as I dust off some things. There will be plenty of blogs that make Glenn Beck seem sane in the near future.

Still in the process of moving and reorganizing
I'm still in the process of figuring things out. I'm thinking maybe I should offer more stuff then just Political crap (and believe me most of it is). Boobs For Freedom will still be here but I'm thinking outside the box so to speak.I have some stuff in mind but in the mean time bare with me. Plus I'll make a gallery thing for the BFF pics and hopefully we will have some new ones very soon.
