Who came up with the phrase (or at least made it widely popular) 'I'm not gonna lie, ...[insert completely obvious statement here].'
Anyone? It's everywhere; and I'm not gonna lie, it's driving me a little nuts (said knowing that I've used the phrase myself...maybe even a lot).

Question: How many members of the Bush Administration are needed to change a light bulb?
Answer: TEN.
1. One to deny that a light bulb needs to be changed;
2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light
bulb needs to be changed;
3. One to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb;
4. One to tell the nations of the world that they are either for
changing the light bulb or for eternal darkness;
5. One to give a billion dollar no-bid contract to Halliburton for a new light bulb;
6. One to arrange a photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor and standing on a step ladder under the banner "Bulb Accomplished";
7. One administration insider to resign and in detail reveal how Bush was literally "in the dark" the whole time;
8. One to smear # 7
9. One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how George
Bush has had a strong light bulb-changing policy all along;
10. And finally, one to confuse Americans about the difference between screwing in a light bulb and screwing the country.
And after all is said and done, no one will notice that they
never actually managed to change the light bulb.

ron paul for 2008?
most of the 2008 presidential candidates have profiles on myspace.com, so i was checking them out to see what their supposed intentions are and how they stand on some issues.
many of them didn't even have info. on their stances, but i did find someone who seemed to be logical, realistic, and committed to what the actual laws of this country are. he's a republican, but i agree with almost everything he claims to believe in. he seems to be the most common sense-type and the least infotainment-type who has to use hype to dog on other candidates instead of simply talking about himself and what matters for the country.
read what his stance is on issues here.
he mentions things that are really important, like privacy issues (patriot act, national ID cards, etc.), that other candidates don't.
i'd love for a woman to be president, simply for the symbolic victory it would represent, but if hilary is going to perpetuate the same crap of talk-to-appease-but-continue-corruption-and-militarization-of-the-country then it's not even worth it.
obama looked pretty good, but then he started talking about injecting faith into politics and the country... and i said see ya -- separation of state and religion no matter what.
john edwards also looks good for now, but i'd like to know more about where he stands on issues of privacy and civil rights for minorities and stuff.
any of you guys have any info on the candidates?

you go, girl!
"... one can only imagine the reaction of many Palestinians when an American president who has invaded two Muslim countries, whose budget calls for half a trillion dollars in military spending, and who defends torture and the detention of prisoners without trial, tells them to renounce violence and recognize the legitimacy of a country that is illegally occupying their land."
- Rachelle Marshall, from The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, April 2006.

hooray!
yesterday when i got home from school, my mom told me that the detroit police had just called because they'd recovered my car.
apparently they found it by accident... some cops were just driving around on their routine and happened to see a car that looked "out of place" for the particular area they were in, and it seemed suspicious. they followed the car, the thief didn't signal when he turned, so the cops were about to pull him over and checked the plates and - bam! - stolen vehicle. they pulled him over and arrested two guys: a 20 year old and a 22 year old. not WSU students.
they took my car to the detroit police impound lot, so my dad and i had to go down there to pick it up. that was an adventure in itself (reminiscent of trying to pick up brandy at the amtrak station across from white castle at 3:00am in detroit).
my car was pretty much okay. the steering column was busted (it was "tilt-wheeled" it, not hot-wired) and the driver's side door lock was broken. everything that had been neatly organized in the glovebox was strewn about on the floor of the car, but i'm pretty sure they left all of those things in tact. they stole the spare tire and wheel, my WSU parking permit, my sunglasses (and case), all of the change i had, my tire pressure gauge, and... some hand sanitizer.
they left a grocery bag in the backseat that contained toilet paper.
anyway, thank god(s) that i have my car back! and thanks to all you cats who sent good thoughts and wishes.

my car was stolen today at 10:37am
i went to my parking spot in the structure after class today (around 3:30) and my car wasn't there. i called the wsu police and filed a car theft report with the cop they sent. he, heather, and i went to the parking security office and got permission to watch the video surveillance, and i saw my car being driven out at 10:37am, approximately one hour after i parked it.
it was a sneaky job -- there was no one caught on tape walking up to my car or anything. but, a shady-looking van paulled into a spot near my car about 5 minutes before it was stolen, and then my car was driven off, and then shortly after, someone came and took off in the van.
so, we think what happened is that the thief probably staked out my car and knew i parked in the same general area every day, pulled in, walked in front of the noses of the cars so that he wouldn't get caught on the cameras, stole my car and took it somewhere, then came to get his van.
using the freeze-frame, we weren't able to get a good shot of the driver in my car -- it was way too blurry. you would think with the tuition we pay, the structures would be equipped with like HD quality cameras in case of a mugging, rape, or car theft... but apparantly not. we were able to get the license plate of the van, though.
anyway, it sucks. i liked my car a lot, and it's a big inconvenience. on the bright side, i wasn't injured and nothing of great value was in my car when it was stolen.
please think positive thoughts for me (e.g. that my car is in-tact and they find it soon!).
thanks.
