Virgina Tech

Can you imagine getting up for your 9am class, groggy from the late night you spent studying, drinking, finishing a paper hocked up on caffeine. To arrive at your 1st class settling in your seat to absorb this mornings lecture and all of a sudden chaos breaks out.
This could have been any campus USA.
This lunatic at Virgina Tech has taken the lives of 32 people. He was a student at Virgina Tech, Chi Seung-Hui, 23 a senior from South Korea. People who didn't deserve to die and had no way of fighting back. The fear and imagery that these students will live with is too much to bear. I can't even imagine how the families are handling the grief. One student said, the gunman was calm and focused. "The gunman in Norris Hall was described as a young Asian man with two pistols who calmly entered classrooms and shot professors and students. He peeked into the German class in Room 207, witnesses said, then pushed his way in. (nyt)" Laying out round after round into these unsuspecting students and teachers. Students even had to jump from the second story classroom to reach safety. This story gives me chills and makes me sick to my stomach. My condolences go out the families affected by this tragedy. Any one of us could have been one of these students, just getting to their first class of the day.

Smoking Update

It has been one month and 3 days since I have quit smoking! I feel great and I can thank acupuncture for allowing me to quit smoking with such ease. If you are looking to quit or I can help inspire you or recommend an acupuncturist. Please feel free to ask! Go me! I'm smoke free!

Elisabeth Hasselbeck

I’m fucking outraged! This right winged conservative Arian bitch needs to get sent the fuck back in time and left in the 50s when women were barefoot and pregnant. She has NO RIGHT to be on TV and supporting her family with her prehistoric value system. She’s a pro-life, bush loving, Neanderthal. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was anti-semetic to boot.

I was late to work today because I couldn’t tear myself away from the View to hear what ignorance was spewing from her lips. Not only did she fully support the president and all of his efforts, but she even went as far to say, and I quote, “ I did not sense desperacy in his speech.” Desperacy what the fuck does that mean Hasselbeck do you also use conversate instead of converse. Desperation is the word you were looking for!

I want this BITCH FIRED!!!

She wants to put women back in time and I cannot believe she has procreated and is going to pass on her ignorance to future generations. She does not speak for me and I am ashamed that she is representing my generation on broadcast television LIVE everyday to all of America. Most of this country is filled with ignorant fucks and now they listen to this dribble. The View reaches over 3 million viewers… did you hear me, 3 MILLION viewers. Think for a second who these 3 million people are who are actually at home at 11am week days. I have even scoured the Internet looking for a clip from the show where she bashed the morning after pill but it has been erased from youtube (wonder why?). Honestly, I’m so worked up right now talking about her. She makes me fucking sick, I’ve cursed like a sailor throughout this whole rant. I should be using my words, you know considering I have some command on the English language, unlike our fair Hasselbeck. Oooo those women on the View should hire me, America will not know what hit them. Ratings would skyrocket. I needed to vent about this.

Below you will find some facts about Hasselbeck:

Elisabeth represents the conservative position on The View, defending creationism and opposing euthanasia and abortion. She was a supporter of President George W. Bush's reelection campaign and delivered a primetime speech at the 2004 Republican National Convention.

She has taken up cervical health as her personal crusade and encourages women to have regular exams. In recent years she has worked with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Making Memories Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, The Wireless Amber Alert Program Initiative and The World Scholar Athlete Games.

Since her appearance on Survivor, she has married (in July 2002) her college sweetheart, current New York Giants backup quarterback Tim Hasselbeck

On an episode that aired on August 2, 2006, Hasselbeck got into a heated debate in which she strongly opposed the Food and Drug Administration's plan to sell the "morning after pill" as an over-the-counter drug. Experts are unsure as to whether the pill only prevents the release of an egg or also prevents the implantation of a fertilized egg. Hasselbeck stated, "I believe that life begins at the moment of penetration... and when that egg is fertilized..." She felt the pill should even be banned in cases of rape and incest, because even then "that life still has value." Hasselbeck argued that advocates of the drug use the "rape or incest" exception as a bait-and-switch distraction from their real desire to make it universally accessible. She argued if the "rape or incest" exception was all advocates cared about, they would not support its over-the-counter status.

Bush to address the nation on Iraq : tonight at 7pm

“If you really want to change the situation on the ground, demonstrate to the president he’s on his own,” said Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. “That will spark real change.”
.. an exerpt from the ny times aricle ..
In both chambers, Democrats made clear that the resolutions — which would do nothing in practical terms to block Mr. Bush’s intention to increase the United States military presence in Iraq — would be the minimum steps they would pursue. They did not rule out eventually considering more muscular responses, like seeking to cap the number of troops being deployed to Iraq or limiting financing for the war — steps that could provoke a Constitutional and political showdown over the president’s power to wage war.
