Like Me, Everything Should Have a Title

I'm still cheesed about that stupid area. On the bright side of things, I figured out how to put titles on my blog entries.

Anyone question America's decision to re-elect Bush? I doesn't look like it. Even I didn't expect this.

It looks like the elections are now over. John Kerry has admitted defeat. Cogratulations Prez!

The presidential election should have been over by now, but it's not. Bush is claiming victory, but no one is certain of whom will be victorious. If Kerry gets Ohio, he'll win for sure. If Bush gets Ohio, his win will be definite. We'll all just have to wait and see.

Locally, it looks like us Wichitans are going to have to pay for a new downtown arena. I voted against it. We already have a 10,000 seat collesium that rarely sells out when big acts actually come to Wichita. The reason people think we need this arena is because the collesium only seats 10,000. They want this large, new, attractive building in the downtown area to attract tourists. What tourists? No one comes to Wichita unless they're obligated (family, business purposes). They don't come here because they choose to. Building a downtown arena in Wichita is a sad attempt at trying to turn Wichita into a tourist city. Trust me, an arena won't change anything. People think of Kansas as a state full of wheat fields and small towns. They don't think there's anything worth seeing here in Kansas. For the most part, they're right. There really is nothing to see here in Kansas.

Husband: Honey, where would you like to go on vacation this year?
Wife: I was thinking maybe New York or Miami.
Husband: Really? I was thinking that we should go to Wichita, Kansas this year. They have a new downtown arena, you know.
Wife: Really? Let's go to Wichita! I hear that besides the arena, they've got some great wheat fields!

Congratulations Wichita! Now we'll have wheat fields AND a downtown arena, but still no tourists!

I've been thinking about those TV spots that every celebrity has done. You know, the ones that urge young people to go out and do their duty as an American citizen and vote. More specifically, they want you to do your duty as an American citizen and not only vote, but vote Bush out of office. How did I come to that conclusion? I read between the lines. They tell you they want you to make the "right" choice. You don't seriously think Leonardo DiCaprio and Yoko Ono want you to vote for anyone other than Kerry, do you? Voting for Bush is the "wrong" choice, right? These spots are not like those produced by MoveOn.org, but they do scream DON'T VOTE FOR BUSH!

We live in a celebrity driven society. Celebrities know what's best. I remember when Barbara Streisand was America's font for political knowledge. She had all the answers. Now, Streisand is passe. DiCaprio is the new Streisand. He has all the answers. He's educated (he's seen Fahrenheit 9/11 a billion times), he's dating a super model and he supposedly writes his own speeches. Let his opinions be your opinons! You can't go wrong if you follow DiCaprio!

In my honest opinion, I think that young voters should follow the advice of Matt Stone and Trey Parker (co-creators of South Park, Team America): Don't vote if you don't have a clue. That means you, Paris Hilton.

I've made a resolution: I'm voting for John Kerry. Of course, it's only because Springsteen, Michael Moore, R.E.M., Ashton Kutcher, Susan Sarandon, Alec Baldwin, Guster, Wilco, Kirsten Dundst and every other Hollywood celebrity and famous musician say so. How can celebrities be wrong? It's not like I have my own opinions anyway. They always know what's best.

Just kidding. I've already voted. I didn't want to DIE! Blast P. Diddy and his totalitarian ways!

I was going to vote anyway, not because P. Diddy was going to kill me if I didn't.

I watched some interviews on Dateline NBC last night with George W. and John Kerry. They were very funny. Tom Brokaw brought up in the interview with Kerry that W. has a higher I.Q. than Kerry does. Also Tom brought up that Kerry has said that he never would have gone to Iraq. Kerry said that wasn't true. He said he would have gone to Iraq if Saddam did not cooperate with the U.N. and if he had our allies' support. In other words, Saddam would still be in power. But then again, he thinks the whole war is wrong and that it was a mistake.

What I don't understand is, if he thought it was wrong and that it was a mistake before, then why did he vote to go to war in the first place? He wasn't against it before. If he had doubts about the war before we went to Iraq, he should have said something then. Now isn't the time to be deciding that it's wrong to be there.

He also accuses the president of going into war without enough troops. Supposing that Kerry were president and supposing that we had to go to war with Iraq (supposing also that Kerry knew that we didn't have enough troops and that France, Russia and Germany did not want to go to war) where would he have gotten additional troops from? A draft? Clearly, Kerry does not have the answer to all the questions. If he becomes elected, our troops are going to be pulled out of Iraq then where will Iraq be? I'm going to suppose that Iraq will be worse off than it is today.
