Hope/Chance/Change/Terrorism/End Times

I've never cared about politics or who's in control of what. However, I have noticed the hugantic national screw-ups over the last few years.

I don't know the definitions of political terms like fascism, liberal, Anarchist, left/right. (haha, i do now http://www.ircpolitics.org/glossary.html)

Comparing the two candidates, One seems to be more for the 'Country'(Mother Russia? haha) and the other, for the 'People' of the country.

As a lower-middle class/income Citizen, I feel the only Hope, Change and Chance for our country can be found in Obama. He seems to have his head on his shoulders, he's connected with us, and still young enough to roll with the coming changes.

Too Young? How old was John Kennedy(43), Ulysses S. Grant(46), Grover Cleveland(47) or Theodore Roosevelt(42)?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_Presidents_by_age

"Obama rhymes with Osama!" "Hussein! He's a terrorist." Are you guys seriously kidding me? He's named after his father who I'm sure had the name before 'King Hussein'. His name RHYMES with that of a terrorist we had not known 10 years ago. SHOOT! My middle name is the same as the 'King of Pop' who allegedly molests boys in Neverland. I have no chance of becoming president.

Some Religious Fanatics think he's the anti-Christ and the world is going to end. Well, according to the incompletion of the Mayan calendar, Our world is going to end in 2012 anyway. I don't think Obama has THAT much power.

We're a new America in need of some new ideas and not continuing to do things the way they've 'always been done'. That is obviously not working.

Obama for President.

All suspicious emails are followed by a google search. Came up with:

Gas Rape 2kX

I created a new word for Urban Dictionary.

gas rape

http://gas-rape.urbanup.com/3067821

Pronounced like [ass rape].

The sodomizing of average citizens by large oil and gas companies who continually and unnecessarily raise gas prices for sustained increase of profit.

Soon, Vaseline will have to be sold along with gasoline to ease the pain of gas rape.

Development IDE - Aptana

Anyone touch, try, fondle Aptana?

I just downloaded it and watched the screen casts. Wanted some opinions or horror stories.

I watched Chris Parillo's view of it. Based on Java, could be 'doggy' in his words.

Used for PHP, RUBY, AIR Development.

IRS Stimulus Rebate

This arrived to me in an email. I am not the creator of this genius piece, but I back it 100%.
One day when I'm really pissed about Gas prices, I'll write a very opinionated post.

Thought you'd enjoy, and probably agree with, this.

SPEND Those REFUND CHECKS WISELY!
As you may have heard, the President and Congress have promised us that...
Each and Every One of Us will now get a nice Rebate! ...

BUT...
IF we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China .
IF we spend it on Gasoline, it will all go to the Arabs.
IF we purchase a Computer, it will all go to India .
IF we purchase Fruits & Vegetables, it will all go to Mexico , Honduras ,
and Guatemala .
IF we purchase a good Automobile, it will all go to Japan .
IF we purchase useless Crap, it will all go to Taiwan .
....And NONE of it will help the AMERICAN Economy!
We Need to KEEP that money Here in AMERICA,

So-ooooo the Only Way to KEEP that money Here AT HOME
is to Buy - Prostitutes, Jack Daniel's Whisky, & Beer,
Since those are the Only Businesses STILL IN THE U.S.


On as side note, (and this information may be a bit dated);
These companies import Middle Eastern oil:

Shell........................... 205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco......... 144,332,000 barrels
Exxon /Mobil............... 130,082,000 barrels
Marathon/Speedway... 117,740,000 barrels
Amoco............................62,231,000 barrels

Citgo gas is from South America, from a Dictator who hates Americans.
If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18
BILLION! (oil is now $90 - $100 a barrel)

Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:

Sunoco..................0 barrels
Conoco..................0 barrels
Sinclair.................0 barrels
BP/Phillips............0 barrels
Hess.......................0 barrels
ARCO....................0 barrels
