Two hours of traffic gives you time to think...
How often is it that you see the phrase "legendary thespian" with the name Steven Segal?
I wonder what the hell the person in the Ford Focus ahead of me is doing when the break lights stay on from Austin to where I passed her at Canal St. Thats over a mile of highway driving with both feet on a pedal.
And I can't help but wonder if maybe I should just stop voting democrat. Now lets not get ahead of me here, hear me out. We all know business and politics are in bed with each other, and they always have. The problem is, we used to not know much about it, we didn't see it, it was like staying in a hotel, you know someone is having sex somewhere in there, but you dont know where. Now you open your room and there they are, politicians and business, right there, on your bed, and you just have to sit there and try to ignore it. And what's with this Bush and Clinton joint vacationing, speaking events crap? I give up, the democrats just seem to roll over. Not to mention, who's the biggest name in the democrat party? Well arguably you could say Barrack Obama, who I will vote for, but the other biggest name: Hillary Clinton. And she must be pushed out of office. Her entire platform is based on the same bullshit the republicans are: scare you with family values. Except she's going after video games. She wants video games to be government regulated. Why? Because spoiled, upper-middle class white boys cannot be held responsible for their actions, they play Grand Theft Auto and Doom and then go shoot people at their school. Obviously the games are what drove them to madness. There is no reason for government regulated video game systems; does the federal government regulate the movie industry? Hell no they don't. Not to mention the amount of sexual innuendo and down right raunchy content that passes for a PG-13 movie would cause a video game with the same content to be slapped with an "adults only" rating, effectively tanking the product before it ever hit the shelves. I don't want the federal, state, or district governments deciding the moral regulation of anything I do. Hell I don't even like the idea of a 21 drinking age, why would I support anyone who thinks my 'media consumption' is immoral or takes away my choice of when my kid can play a video game where someone's head explodes. I'm seriously going to start looking for independent/green candidates to vote for because this is just stupid, and if I can't find one, I'll probably stop voting rather than using my vote to support someone who I disagree with under the argument "at least its not a republican."

Funny thing: Steven Segal was performing (as in, musically performing) in Paris after I left. How weird is that?
