Crazy World

Every so often I throw in my own opinions on the world and politics on this page and you can either take them or leave them. The first thing I want to talk about is Joe Bidden, a senior senator for Delaware, and a Democrat at that. He was on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart this week talking about how he has began to prepare for the 2008 presidential election. Stewart began pushing about running mates and John McCain's name came up - a Republican senator from Arizona. Both are moderates and they have worked on a lot of projects together in the Senate. Now in my naive-ness and lack of knowledge on these people, the idea of a Republican-Democrat split ticket sounds awesome! Stewart kept pressing Bidden on whether it would actually happen or not and finally, after some haggling, Bidden said YES. So does that mean they're running together? I guess we have to wait and see. But this is a ticket I, at least at first glance, can get behind. It might help put a stop to the country's division. And they were against the Iraq War, so that makes me happy.

Another thing Stewart talked about on that episode was oil prices. Did you know that Exxon made over 7 billion dollars in PROFIT last QUARTER!?! This is freakin' ridiculous! The government just approved of a bill to give millions of dollars for oil companies to research fuel sources and billions of dollars in tax breaks, when the oil companies are making tons of money in pure profit and we're paying out our ass at the pumps. I am sick of this crap and it really pisses me off. I've tried to defend gas prices, saying we're almost out of oil and we still pay less than most place in the world anyway, but with statistics like that, I just want to ring someone's neck. Isn't it insane?

Anyway, done with the ranting for the night. Take care all.

Qop!
