Green Party: Cynthia Mckinney/ Rosa Clemente +Introduced articles of impeachment against Bush as a representative in the House +Wants out of Iraq Socialist Party USA: Brian Moore + Experience in Latin America + A socialist in […]

*punch* Welcome to Earth
The Senator from Wisconsin cannot frighten me by exclaiming, “My country, right or wrong.” In one sense I say so too. My country; and my country is the great American Republic. My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right. – Carl Schurz >

GTA 4’s specific target audience is young kids, especially those who may eventually access it despite age limitations on selling Mature rated games.

Torture playlist
It has come to my attention that music is being used as a torture device. If for any reason I go missing on the count of me being mistaken as Persian, Turkish, Arab, Indian or in fact being Pakistani (a convenient combination off all the former), and wearing a Casio G-shock, the AK47 of watches, […]
