After abandoning his old site almost a year ago, it looks as though Roger has finally gotten off of his lazy ass to hack together a new site. So…

Come one! Come all! Come onto !roger,roger!

Do I get a little kickback for this?

Yeah. So I forgot that my Network Solutions account was not on auto-renewal. That would explain things being down this weekend.

Here are some comments from a previous post. I’m responding here because Radio doesn’t give you control of the data tables for comments and I want a record of my response.

“Those of us here in the middle of the country actually believe in the same principles that our founding fathers believed in. We will no longer sit still while people tear away at the morality of this country because as soon as the morality falls, the country will be destroyed (just look at history for proof).”

Since you’re being so vague about what you think the morality of this country actually is, I’ll just assume you’re with the masses and are basing the country’s morality on Christian beliefs. Here is the biggest problem I see. You are getting your personal beliefs confused with what the founding fathers actually meant and what the country’s morality was intended to be. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” What that says to me is that everyone should be allowed to live their lives the way that makes them the happiest. Where in that does it say everyone must adopt the popular belief? I find it completely un-American to force people into your on personal bubble. This is the exact opposite of progression. That one line there is screaming “Americans are tolerable of everyone”. One thing that I’ve learned during this little “war” of ours, Democracy doesn’t work for everyone. Same goes for religious beliefs.

“FYI, the only reason you can say what you did was because of soldiers how have died to give you that freedom. That is also why I do not care one red cent how other contries percieve the US.”

Yeah. Because we’re right and everyone else is wrong. It’s that black and white, right? And who cares what countries we destroy to get what we want?

“If someone supports someone who will likely attack us, we have the right to attack first.”

Defending ourselves is one thing. Killing over 100,000 non-threatening Iraqi citizens is another.

“No, Iraq did not have connections to 9-11, but Saddam was a threat to the US and the whole world (even Kerry admited this until he changed his mind).”

Saddam was no threat to us. Even if he was, it doesn’t justify Bush lying to you and me so that he could invade a country and pull attention away from the real issues at the time.

“Yes, I do disagree with most of the Patriot Act, but I believe that Congress will scale it back. It was a good idea that carried to far.”

The Bush administration did it once and now that they have another term and support from the popular vote, do you seriously think they’re feeling like they need to be more careful this time around? Wishful thinking on your part. This week, the American people told Bush to basically “keep it up”. Good luck to us all…

Dude! I found a small piece of happiness this week. The Star Wars trailer is sweet! It’s SWEET!!! You can check it out at the Star Wars site if you’re a member or Moviefone.com if you’re an AOL member. Go see now!!!

Pretty funny. Dave also points on today’s page to this graphic from USA Today which shows red and blue counties. Pretty sad.

Congratulations America. You have just chosen another 4 years of having your rights raped and having the rest of the world hate us even more. The world is officially ending and most Americans couldn’t be happier. If you voted for Bush, let me just first say, fuck all of you assholes.

I’m having a real hard time dealing with this. It’s simply beyond my rationalization how an unpopular president 4 years ago can be voted in by the American people, especially considering everything he has done in the past 4 years. What does that say about us? I mean here in California, we did our part. What about those middle state Americans? You fucking redneck, racist, gun waving, hate everything that’s not white, straight, and God fearing bastards. You live inside of your little box with your big gun, little penis, and the want to destroy everything that doesn’t conform to your fucked up world showing absolutely no tolerance what so ever. I would have hoped that a majority of the country was beyond things like this, ya know? A little bit of progress through tolerance here and there. When you see 11 states all voting and passing to ban gay marriages in one night, you see exactly how ignorant and close-minded the people in this country really are and how little progress has really been made.

I am sickened, disgusted, and just plain saddened beyond belief. I was literally brought to tears this morning when I heard in the car coming into work about Kerry conceeding. I don’t know. You get into this state where you feel like all hope is lost and that there is simply not enough anyone can do to change anything. It’s hard to just function right now. I guess we have to just remember that is country is greater than any one man or party, but it sure is easy to forget, especially today.

9:18pm – I can’t fuckin’ believe what I am watching here.

9:23pm – No seriously. I can’t believe it. How can this country have so many damn ignorant people? More importantly, why are they allowed to vote at all?

9:33pm – I’m watching on CNN and looking over the elections map I linked to a couple weeks ago. I’m still absolutely shocked. Kerry is down more than 100,000 votes in Ohio with 75% counted already. It’s pretty much done.

Happy Halloween people. Doing anything interesting today? Anyway, here’s the last background for the month. Isn’t it strange how the top two scariest movies of all time revolve around a little girl. Anyway, this one comes from the undoubtedly scariest movie ever made. I am, naturally, talking about The Exorcist and this is, of course, little Regan.

She just wanted to be heard. Say hello to the little, yet oh so troubled and disturbed, Samara. Before you die you will see The Ring. She will show you.

I’d have to put this next movie in my top 3 favorite of all time. It’s Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
