Negro In Chief

Harry Reid says the word Negro and President Obama forgives him. Negro even appears on the 2010 census.

Many older African Americans identified themselves that way, and many still do

Some Blacks refer to themselves as "Nigga" or even "Nigger". Does that mean they should be on there? So, anyway, it seems that the word is, once again, okay to use. Does that mean we can call Obama the Negro President? Maybe if you're a Democrat. It does, however, make me wonder what would have happened had, say, Glenn Beck said what Sen. Reid said. "Light skinned with no Negro dialect". Could you imagine the monumental Hell storm that would erupt. I mean, Senators would be saying that he had to be driven out.

When I Am King

Bacon will be the national food, because bacon makes everything better.

Everyone will be required to know Star Trek.

The game we call "Football" will be renamed to it's proper name, "Throwball" and the game we call "Soccer" will be renamed to it's proper name "Football".

Flash will be outlawed because it is the bane of my online existence.

Nobody will be allowed to become famous for making a sex tape or getting arrested.

Game shows that try to call themselves "reality" will be banned.

Television shows that I like will not be canceled.

Kids will be rarely seen and never heard.

Every bikini will have to be approved by me :-). It's good to be king.

Instruction manuals will be less complicated than the blueprints for a nuclear power station.

The penny will be eliminated.

The 80's will be declared "The Coolest Decade Of All Time".

Cpl. Carlos E. Gil Orozco
23 years old from San Jose, California
2nd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force
September 10, 2007


Carlos Gil Orozco wasn’t a great student, but one goal pushed him to hit the books: becoming a Marine.

"He was kind of a troublemaker, you know, he got bad grades and wouldn't do his homework," said his sister, Myriam Johanna Gil Orozco. "But he wanted to be a Marine. So he studied real hard, especially algebra. He'd stay up all night studying.

Cpl. Orozco's parents moved the family from Colombia to the U.S. when he was 8 years old, hoping to give their children a better education. They became frustrated when their son didn't do well in school and thought the Marines would be good for him.

"My dad was actually happy," Myriam said. "He'd rather have him be a Marine than out on the streets being in gangs or doing drugs."

Cpl. Carlos Orozco was killed while conducting combat operations in Ashraf, Iraq when the tank he was riding in encountered an IED. Also killed in the blast was Lance Cpl. Jon T. Hicks Jr. of Atco, New Jersey.

Cpl. Orozco leaves behind his sister, his parents, his wife and two sons.

U.S. to Suspend Gitmo Detainee Transfers to Yemen

The U.S. will not transfer any detainees from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to Yemen right now, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Tuesday. Well, it's step towards the right direction. Now, stop with this asinine closure of GITMO and keep these people where they need to be.

The Next Hotbed

TimesOnline is reporting that at least a dozen freed detainees from GITMO have made their way to al-Qaeda in Yemen.

The US Government issued figures in May showing that 74 of the 530 detainees in Guantánamo were suspected or known to have returned to terrorist activity since their release. They included the commander of the Taleban in Helmand province, Mullah Zakir, whom the British Chief of the Defence Staff, Sir Jock Stirrup, called “a key and seemingly effective tactical leader”. Among others who returned to terrorism was Abdullah Saleh al-Ajmi, a Kuwaiti who killed six Iraqis in Mosul in 2008.

The number believed to have “returned to the fight” in the May 2009 estimate was double that of a US estimate from June 2008. US officials acknowledged that more detainees were known to have reoffended since, but the number has been classified.

GITMO is where they need to be. Plain and simple.

Tomorrow Is Today

So it's 2010. This, my friends, is officially the future. When people talked of the future, this is when they were talking about. So I'm wondering where all the cool stuff they promised us is. Where are the flying cars? Where is my robot maid? Where's my personal jetpack? Where is my communication device that let's me see and talk to people all over the world? Oh. Well, one out four is a start.

2010

I hope that 2010 is a great year for you and yours and that it is a much better year for the country than was 2009.
