These next few posts are going to deal with Hot topics in government. today is abortion! I have written this nice explanation of my views and beliefs when it comes to this issue.Here is the summary on my View of Abortion: It’s the mother’s chioce. Its her body. Who am I and who are WE to stop someone from doing something with their own body, now I do have a limitation to when i believe its ok and when i believe it can be construed as murder. The point at which the embryo is 7 weeks old is said to start feeling pain and responding to outside stimuli. at this point in the process the “brain” is almost reptillian and nature and the higher brain functions that are more related to Humanistic abilities are non exhistant. Basically as soon as its able to feel pain I am in strong disagreement with aborting, but I dont have a uterus so Im only alowed to have an opinion and wouldnt take any legal action.Please feel free to leave comments on this as I love to hear feedback tomorrow I’m thinking Gun control!!!!

So to be honest this website got a total of mayhaps 50 views a week back when Joel and I cared about it. BUT, hopefully I can resurrect it and give it a true aim. Not easily done with such a random imagination such as mine.

Little update; Obamas President (hell yes), I still play WoW. Joels 6th anual Eat at Joels was a success save for my dislocated finger and yet another year of people offering a pool and failing miserably at fulfilling their end of the deal.

So I need to figure out a direction to take this website. Maybe see if I cant get joel to do some nonsensical whimsical ramblings, Dr. David Scott im sure will be returning to explain more about Gnarples and Gnarplism, he hasnt been to happy with the fact that Gnarples have yet to make it onto wikipedia. Maybe Theoretical stuff with the occasional rambling. I like writing about Universal expansion and the theory of Special Relativity, it makes me feel smart.

In closing I offer you few readers to spread the gospel according to Brown pocket! may it grow into an outlet of pur geniousity and fake words!

It took a year, but it has finally happened. Barak Obama has become The Black Candidate. It’s not a role he wants, it’s not a role he needs, and it’s certainly a weapon being used against him. The problem of race began to evolve three months ago.

Three months ago, the press and the media started covering the email by someone in Clinton’s staff with the picture of Obama dressed up in Muslim garb. Black Americans are liable to become Muslims is the story that email told. It wasn’t just fear of Muslims that the email played upon, it was fear or Black American Muslims. The Nation of Islam has a powerful and sometimes negative image. Louis Farrakhan, a man who has done good things in the world, has said some blasphemous things that are destructive to politician. Obama started becoming blacker.

Jeremiah Wright made him even blacker. Actually, that’s wrong. Wright said some ignorant stuff, but Pat Robertson and other conservative ministers have said inflammatory things and their candidates still get to be friends with them. The media made Obama blacker by the way they painted Wright comments. Conservative talk show hosts were excited to spread the muck. Liberal talk show hosts were required to do so because they need viewers. No need to be honest, just make the play. Obama had to come out and tell White America how Black America often sees the world. It was a courageous speech. But he was finally speaking for Black America to White America. Before he had just been speaking for America.

Then Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos provided arguably the poorest contribution to the US democratic process of any national news coverage in the last 20 years. In that debate, Hilary Clinton finally got a personal chance to paint Obama, and she did. She brought up Farrakhan. The mention wasn’t useful or constructive. Obama has no ties to Farrakhan. But to a few people, now he does. It’s a question that needs to be answer. No matter what, if someone asks you on national television, “Are you friends with (insert negative image: OJ/Ted Bundy/etc)?” the viewers will think, “I wonder what merited them asking that question. There must be some tie between them.”

Earlier this week, Jeremiah Wright officially made Obama the black candidate. Obama can try to distance himself from Wright’s comments as much as possible, but lots of people have decided not to believe him. And Wright said that he represents the Black Church. He doesn’t. Leaders in the black church have disagreed, but Wright has the podium and his mics are the loudest. “Obama’s pastor represents the Black Church. Obama went to that church because he’s black, because he’s a member of Black America.”

Barak Obama is the Black Candidate now. He’s been painted and forced to become that person. Can the Black Candidate win the Presidency? Clinton wants you to know that he can’t. She also wants you to remember: Barak Obama is black.

*note: I have not decided who I would vote for between the three remaining candidates. I do find the way that this election has evolved issue-wise to be despicable. It’s everyone’s fault.

Really old guy in the office about McCain:

“McCain is too old. I look at him and I can say that ‘man is too old, he should find somewhere to sit down.’ “

Kilpatrick was a darling. Not even 38 years old, he was the mayor of a major city, a position he first won at 32 years old. He has broad shoulders that would fit in fine at Lions practice. Could he have been a Senator one day? Or more?

Not anymore. What ifs aren’t useful. They are mostly just depressing. He jumped on his old friend and chief of staff Christine Beatty. Over and over. I saw some pictures of her. First, of all, I’m not impressed. Second of all, he’s known her since they were kids. If he’d preferred her, he had his chance.

It’s dangerous when officials begin to think that they are invincible. It was said about Spitzer and it’s been said about Kilpatrick and it’s true. The problem with control is that once a person has to keep a another important person waiting, he or she starts to like it. That control is fun. It’s not vindictive exactly, it’s entertainment.

“Guess what I did to the CEO of GM today?”

That’s the sort of attitude that starts the chain reaction. Control is the evil little friend of Power. Control is the reason Power corrupts. It isn’t power for the sake of power, it’s power for the sake of making the little puppets dance in a line. And dance they will.

It’s important for those in power to distance themselves somewhat to the direct relationship that their choices have to real people. If each bad outcome were told the the President, he/she would just sit there in the Oval Office and never move and never sign anything. There is nothing, absolutely nothing that a person with the power of a large city mayor or governor can do without negatively affecting someone somewhere. It is inevitable, so they can’t just think about that.

But they must think about it sometimes. It should sober their actions, make them yearn to relinquish the control sometimes. But then they should realize that they wouldn’t want any one else to do this, that he/she trusts his or herself to make the right decision. Never forget the little guy. Don’t make decisions just to help the little guy, but don’t forget that the little guy gets hurt more than you ever will.

Kilpatrick may actually be invincible. One great thing about having to resign is that by that time you’ve made some money and there will be numerous lucrative job opportunities. Spitzer can write a book and be on boards of directors pretty fast.

Then again, there are potential criminal charges against each. They thought that they had the control. They thought that the world only knew what they wanted people to know. Reporters are smart. I’m sure the city hall reporters all knew what was going on and one happened to stumble upon the right evidence and then make a brilliant FOIA request.

Sex is good. Rationality is better. The rational decision is that when such a situation comes up to push back from the table and count your chips. But they always think that the other person at the table is letting them win. That’s true, but there’s a third guy at the table, and that guy doesn’t care about the others winning or losing, just playing as best he can.

Sorry, Kwame. Goodnight.

156 delegates.

The eighth highest number in the country.

3.3 percent of the nation’s population.

That’s how arrogant the Democratic National Committee is. They decided months ago that for violating the party’s rule that the Michigan primary wouldn’t count. It’s like it never happened. In fact, it really didn’t happen, since Obama and Edwards weren’t even on the ballot. Hillary was but it’s not like she thought it was a real election. There’s a reason that the press made a huge deal about Romney winning a state he was expected to win, but failed to mention anything about the Democrats.

An explanation:

The rules, unanimously passed in 2006 by nearly 450 Democratic party activists across the country - including Florida - are clear and leave little or no leeway for Dean to waive them: Any state that violates the schedule set by the DNC loses half its delegates to the national nominating convention and any candidate who campaigns in that state will forfeit all delegates from that state.

But it gets better! Florida, with the country’s fourth highest population, also won’t get its delegates seated. The candidates won’t be ignoring it though. It’s too important and worth too much - almost six percent of the delegates are up for grabs. Plus, it will be a huge momentum booster before Super Tuesday.

The NY Times has an excellent article about it. It says that the candidate actually gets to choose whether to seat the delegates come convention time. What candidate is going to say no?

The problem is that the rulings by the DNC affect the actions of voters. That’s a dangerous precedent. I don’t want primaries cropping up the December before elections either, but this is the wrong way to go about it. If the DNC wants control, don’t punish the voters, punish the state committees. At least Howard Dean is in charge. He’s a reasonable fellow, right? Old, senile people and poor, blue collar people shouldn’t have a say anyway.

Mr. Sarkozy, I say go for it. He is dating Carla Bruni, a former model and may marry her. It’s taking a lot of his time, just I vicariously would hope. They have all those limo and plane rides he has to take to do the dirty so I don’t think the romance should take too much of his time. His legacy may be turned negative because of his choice to spend his time in office dating an ex-model, but his life will be better. Well, part of his life at least.

France isn’t going to fall apart while he has sex with Carla Bruni. And a happier leader will lead to better results. I would love to spend my time with her, even if she is 40. 40 is the really hot age…

In all seriousness, I really don’t see a huge problem here. Sure, he’s a busy man, but this just makes him busier. If you’re surprised that Sarkozy hasn’t solved all of the problems he said he’d address, don’t be. He’s a politician. The press just has an extra reason to flog him.

Sarkozy does good work. This is his second attractive woman and she’s tall and delicious. If things don’t work out with the Boss, she’d be welcome to give me a call.

Just to remind you what I’m talking about here:
