Politicians in general are consumed with nothing but fulfilling their own self interest. Government by the people, for the people is now government by the people, for the elected official. How many raises have they voted themselves since the minimum wage was last raised?

Personally, I support President Bush, and I support our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. I do think that the military strategy at times has been questionable, but you know it is easy to be Monday morning quarterback. The economy is good, and I seem to be keeping more of my money that I make (which means I can buy more video games).

And we have no one else to blame for the rising costs of healthcare but ourselves. Well, let me take that back. I put a lot of the blame for rising healthcare costs on the lawyers who are looking to make a quick buck through frivolous lawsuits. I would also add pharmaceutical profiteering to that equation also.

But back to Capitol Hill. I believe that when it comes to our elected officials, most of America is extremely ignorant as to what goes on. If you really want to know your politicians, just tune in to C-SPAN. Yea, it may be boring to watch, but it may be worth seeing what your representatives are actually doing, or not doing, for you.

And just a note on my comment about our questionable military strategy. The reason we are struggling to win this war is because we are trying to fight a conventional war against unconventional people. The so called "Rules of Engagement" should not apply to these barbarians. How do think we won our independence from the British? If we had fought a straight up, conventional war against the Brits, we would have gotten creamed. The British lost to us because they would not change their tactics to adapt to our fighting style.

Wow, sorry to rant and rave so much :-)

Rant? That was the most elegant casually written short essay I've read.

Thank you, thank you very much :-)

Little mom and pop pizzaria called Papalenos. Hand tossed pizzas and some of the best breadsticks you can eat.

AMF Bowling (XBOX)

Star Trek Encounters (PS2)

y are some people bashin on the games we think are gonna be the top 3 games, and then not sayin what games they think are top 3.

halo 3 is a safe pick for top 3 pick, because you know you are getting a game that has tons of replay value and ends the most played saga ever.

most games are heavily advertised, and you can see actual gameplay and look at in depth and see it broken down. i dont understand how someone can say i dont know what im getting when i have looked into the 3 games i have mentioned, and know exactly what im that game has to offer.
