New Blues Brother Recruit or Something Even More Sinister ?

Good old Kim Jong "Take-A-Chill-Pill" Il is up to no good again: testing a nuclear weapon at an underground bunker in Pyongyang. Officials say that the underground atomic explosion which occured at 9:54 am local time registered in the country's north-east Kilju county as a magnitude 4.5 on the Richter scale and was even felt more than 130 miles to the north on the China - North Korea border.

The UN of course jumped up and immediately condemned the action, as if a country that just tested what they calim to be a warhead of the same magnitude as that of those which incinerated Hiroshima and Nagasaki gives a shit about what the UNproductive has to say. This is also to assume that condemning such an action puts the UN on North Korea's good side anyway, which it doesn't.

Currently, there are some 28,000 American troops stationed in South Korea and though the US has publically stated that it in no way, shape or form wants to attack North Korea, it wouldnt be much of a surprise if some more troops just happen to pack their bags for Seoul some time soon.

Il is a moron. If he believes that worldly condemned testing is the way into the hearts of the international community he has another thing coming. Nukes or not, North Korea is one country with just a few compared to the US with thousands under its belt. North Korea won't make a move because it faces complete and utter extinction if it does. For whatever reason Il is testing the waters by playing with fire. Its only a matter of time before he gets burned.

Proposition Hate Upheld

Today around 10:05 am California time I officially became indefinately disgusted with the hypocracy in this country. How can people advocate... sigh... I barely have the energy to convey how angry this makes me.

Whats worse is that this is the same outcome of the November 2008 52% to 47% vote that passed Prop. 8 and I hear people complaining that gays need to get over that they lost the vote: "its a Democracy, it was voted on, now deal with it" and crocodile teared conservatives whining about "when will the supreme court uphold the will of the people?".

First of all we are not a Democracy but rather a republic; however thats neither here nor there. Second, even in a Democracy there is no reason for anyone to stop pushing their own case just because the votes have been cast. Nothing says the results are to be agreed with or accepted by both sides of the issue. I garantee if prop. 8 failed, none of it's supporters would be arguing for "the supreme court [to] uphold the will of the people".

Throughout this blog you will soon realize how slanted I really am. I am quite cynical when it comes to politics, policies, politicians, and political parties, however I remain fair to the issue, and maintain an objectivist undertone.

Now, with that said, I realize that those against proposition 8 would complain the same way if they were in the position of 8 supporters, but there is one main difference:

THEY AREN'T THE ONES IN THE WRONG
