biden was a disappointment. he wasn't impressive in the least, and i died a little inside when he said he was against gay marriage.* that being said, he still came across better that palin. that woman is just pissing me right the hell off. alaska is not america's heartland, first. second**, she needs to stfu with this maverick bull. not only are palin and mccain not maverics by any contorted definition of the word, they've actually managed to suck the considerable amount of awesome that word once held right out of it. i can't even play megaman x now. if i hear "alaska,"maverick," or "hockey mom" one more time, i'm gonna hurt someone.

*CA registered voters (if any) GTFOut there and vote NO on prop 8.
**those of you that actually watched the debate, yes, that was a subtle crack at biden.

so i missed the sneak peek at the clone wars last weekend, then i missed theofficial premiere yesterday, which would have annoyed me if it weren't fortime-warner's ne CNwest channel letting me watch it once it rolled around on pacific time. i have to say, i did enjoy seeing yoda act more like his pseudo-senile muppetself than the scowling prequel version. as for this new kid, ahsoka; i like her, she's cute. it's kinda depressing to think that, barring a half-assed plot device or gaping plot hole, she's gonna die. that's the trouble with prequels, i guess. it bugged me when the 5 minute clone wars cartoons started, but i've grown to like tartakovsky's styIe

so back to the topic of censorship and how it's destroying entertainment as we know it, i was watching one of the most violent american cartoons ever the other day. that's right, tom and jerry. posterchildren of imitatable violence, everything they do to each other is done with things you can find lying around the house, for the most part. maybe not the random fireworks, and really, who has fold-out ironing boards anymore, but kitchen knives, irons, frying pans, hammers, lumber, garden hoses, and cats are all readily available. yet generation after generation has grown up with these ****cs without trying that crap at home. you know why? because they have parents. people need to stop trying to make cartoons wholesome educational. nobody wants to see that crap, we want to see a duck get shot in the face. it's not the tv's job to teach kids how to behave, that's what parents and teachers are for. cartoons are there so we can laugh when the roadrunner suns into a tunnel painted onto a wall and wile e. coyote follows, only to slam into said wall. logic and physics be damned, it's still funny!

good lord, would you look and the run-on sentences in that mess? i'm glad dr. haut isn't reading this.
