I was digging through my computer looking for something when i ran accross this lovely little rant that i wrote during a particularly depressed period last year. This is definately a downer so if you’re looking for sunshine and butterflies it’s probably not going to do much for ya, but in its own way its sort of fun. like i said, i was deeply depressed when i wrote it, most of the time my outlook on the world is a bit less desperate, but what the hell, the ice caps are all going to melt in the next 50 years anyway so maybe it’s optimism that’s unrealistic at this point.

I was just reading through the Scotsman online and ran across an article on the upcoming election on May 3 - apparently Tony “Bush’s Poodle” Blair and the Iraq War has done so much to destroy the labor party’s prestige and formerly iron-clad grip on scotland that the Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP) has a real chance of taking the majority in Scotland at the next election.

So, I just finished watching the film ‘Death of a President’, which was suprisingly well done. The mainstream reviews at the time of its release, of course, were full of outrage and condemnation that anyone would dare to make a film about the assassination of a currently sitting president, as though making a film was equivilant somehow to handing a would-be assassin a rifle and saying “go to it!”; but after actually watching the film it comes across as an argument for why assassination of george “bomb the world” bush would be a bad thing - Cheyney as president, patriot act III and the final destruction of civil liberties, more wars, all that.
