I just saw a report on CNN (yes, CNN the Liberal News Network, LNN?) getting a poll from the Iraqi people about their feelings towards America and the American election. Unless I was listening wrong, they resoundingly said they hate Bush but don't want him to leave. They feel it would make things much worse than they currently are to have Kerry remove the troops. I'm unable to find a text link and too cheap to pay CNN for one of their silly Superpasses to see the video feed. If anyone out there is less cheap than me please let me know if I heard them correctly.
I just read an interesting article on CNN about an ad run by Swift Boats for truth. The ad was not run by the GOP but by people supporting the GOP. I guess that makes it soft money right? The rules of engagement on this thing are pretty interesting. Does this mean that it's perfectly okay for rich democrats like George Soros and MoveOn to do things outside of the DNC but not the other way around? (I know the link does not have the DNC reporting this as acceptable but they did not deplore it either.)
Of course, I really don't think the Kerry people will be stupid enough to bite on this piece of bait. Do you really think they would bite the hand that feeds them? Could you imagine what would happen if they did though? Sorry Mr. Soros, move on MoveOn, the show's over BandsAgainstBush. Does anyone think for a moment that Kerry would stand a chance if he didn't have the great acting and editing skills of Hollywood behind him? I guess it makes for slightly better entertainment. We don't really need to see the entire election turned into a name calling match .
Congratulations to Jane . She is the first person to confess to reading my blog. I shall cherrish her always. Once I learn a bit more about how to do this stuff I'll even give her a permanent link. I was also going to do a letter between Michael Stipe and Ted Nugent but she's already covered that. Betrayed by Rock N Roll
Dear Whoopi,
I'm sort of on the fence about this whole election. Who should I vote for? What are the pros and cons of each candidate?
Sincerely,
Confused Voter
Dear Confused Voter,
Thank you for contacting me on this issue. As you should know, I've been studying the issues very closely and have taken everything that each candidate stands for into consideration. I have completely foregone anything my friends like Janeane Garofolo have told me about all the candidates and am completely going on the facts. I have come to the conclusion that we need to "keep Bush where it belongs and not in The White House". He's an evil war monger that eats small children. At least that's what I read from a good report in the Weekly World News.
Vote Kerry,
Whoopi

Dear actors guild,
I recently recieved a letter from you that there will be a mandatory appearance at one or more of the Democratic events being held before the election. I've been a card carrying member of the Actor's Guild for 16 years now and this is the first time I've been requested to do something of this nature. I'm a bit confused about the whole thing. See, I am a Republican and would like a little clarification on this. Are you meaning Democratic in the broad sence of the word, like "we live in a Democratic society", or do you mean it in the party sence, like "Democrats have an ass for a moscott"? If it is the latter, I don't think I will be able to attend at it would be against my beliefs in government.
Sincerely,
Concientous Actor

Dear Concientous Actor,
We are sorry to inform you that you are apparently misinformed about your status. It is readily known that anyone invloved in the Actor's Guild is a Democrat. In fact, did a little checking and per bylaw A184-69 Section 42 anyone claiming they are Republican or conservative will be immediately stricken from the afforementioned guild. It is known as the "You'll never work in this town again" clause. You may consider youself hereby banned from the guild and banished to no acting for the rest of your life.
Vote for Kerry,
Actor's Guild
As the first post, I guess it would be appropriate to tell a bit about myself. I doubt anyone will care or even read this because it will more than likely get burried in the sea of the blogosphere. Anyway, I'm Jeremy Bol, living in Chesapeake, Virginia, USA. I'm 30 years old with a Korean wife and a 6 year old son. I'm currently working on my bachelors degree in internetworking technologies and work for the U.S. government doing network security work.
The title "American War Monger" is supposed to mean something about how Americans are stereotyped as evil destroyers of the world. This is where I'm supposed to say we're not all bad guys and go on and on about how I really love peace, and the war in Iraq is wrong on all sides. Well, that's not going to happen. I'm not saying peace is bad or that war is good. Both have their purpose. Rarely has anything changed in peace. Rarely has their been a war without death. There's the dilemma, you can LIVE in a horribly oppressed society, or you can DIE to make the world a better place. The big question is whether or not your cause is worth fighting and potentially diying for.
I'm not going to make this just a war blog or a peace blog. I'd like to try and go somewhere in the middle. I will try and stick to politics and media just because there's so much fodder out there. I'll probably stray from the topic when I feel there's something to say about a new invention or something funny, or weird, etc. None of this really matters though, because I'm just another voice in the crowd of American War Mongers.
