I was skimming through the Wall Street Journal (online) and came across a video feed of Nikki Haley speaking to WSJ's Neil King.
The points that I took away from this coverage were:
1. South Carolina endorses cutting state spending on things that "government wasn't meant to pay for--aka 'the arts'."
2. Government is not "all things" for "all people"...
3. We need to look at the country as a whole--yet we need the government to understand that there are individual states that need individual rights/mandates.
4. Nikki Haley needs a stylist.
In response:
A GAO report just published findings that the federal government is spending between 100-200 billion dollars each year on multiple federal programs which characteristically do the exact same thing. One program in particular having processes within the FDA and the DA's offices. If the federal government can waste this much money on things like "processed egg safety" then why the hell can South Carolina not afford to teach people how to dye the eggs afterward?
I'm glad, too, that Nikki Haley made mention that government wasn't meant to be "all things" for "all people" (while still carrying on the idea that the federal government should bow to the dispositions of individual states). First--who makes up the state population? Individuals. Does every individual agree with Nikki Haley's propositions? No. Does Nikki Haley promote the idea of individual mandates for citizens of her state? No. Why then should the federal government--made up of individual states--make mandates to accommodate the grievances of each individual state? Believe me, Nikki Haley, we can tell by your outfit that you don't support artists...
If South Carolina really wanted to get itself out of its deficit it would legalize marijuana and gambling, line the streets with condoms and other contraceptives, and teach people the difference between the words "good" & "well".
What I've learned today in life, love and politics:
Life: If leaves were currency then money would grow on trees.
Love: ARTISTS vs. ALIENS
Politics: Headache.

Playing "Ketchup"
That title really has nothing to do with this post...
Last night I started watching Freakonomics. It would have been more interesting had I not also been e-shopping simultaneously, but...
About the only thing I remember from the documentary was a study done by Harvard (?) researchers looking in to the correlation between socio-economic status and names. The study found that there were over 200 ways to spell the name "Unique" (amongst other things). Optional spelling: Uneek being my favorite example.
I wonder if that was what the producers hoped one would get from watching Freakonomics?
Well anyway, you're now "ketched-up" in my life.
Today in life, love and politics:
Life: Sharts do exist.
Love: Baseball season.
Politics: Lindsay Lohan is dominating this whole Libya thing...

I've Found the Lord
And I want to come clean for Jesus...
I, like so many other lawyers in training, have a chronic lying problem. I realized yesterday that the madness and deception has got to stop if I ever want to lead a normal life; therefore, I'm writing to wipe my slate and start anew...
I was never part of the Russian mob. All those who believed me,
I'm sorry.
I never had a hamster named Rolo--and he never was dipped in
chocolate and fed to my cats. Sorry.
My highschool did not have a seperate slave quarters
building. In fact, there wasn't a building for the slaves. Sorry.
My pseudonym is not my real name. Sorry.
I didn't witness Angelina and Brad having sex in Detroit.
But they were making out. Sorry.
What I just wrote a second ago was a lie. Sorry.
Okay, well I feel better. Everything else I've ever said was all true & you could probably bet your life on it. Thank you God for forgiving people like me and making mansions of gold in Heaven for the good people and sending the others to Hell.
What I've learned today in life, love, and politics:
Life--it is much better to take a shower than go to class. Especially if you frequent a once-a-week class more than you do the shower.
Love--Libby went to China.
Politics--Yus'er massa' Barack.

Save for later use.
I am away from my computer at this time.
So I was web-surfing tonight & realized that I have about 180 AIM away messages saved under my screen-name at home. This is utterly the most pathetic day of my meaningless existance...
I must have led such a lonely life in highschool in order to WRITE 180 away messages...
AND FURTHERMORE?
I am on my third year of college and have enough spare time to READ all 180 my away messages from highschool.
Here are some examples:
easter brings about eating disorders....
and no, they do not involve throwing up or starving.
Smile it makes a world of difference. Dance who knows when you won't be able to. Live because life is everything...AND DAMNIT HAVE SWEETDREAMS:-D
sun tanning, off to the strawberry farm, then fishing for a wall-mounter (:
CDavis60: i sent the check, my divorce laywer mailed it
smileygurl8830: uh huh...you spin a might fine yarn of lies
CDavis60: well you spin a trail of deception
smileygurl8830: yell you leave a trail of urine...you fat cow
CDavis60: and you leave a trail of shitt falling out your ass
smileygurl8830: haha, ok whatever homo
CDavis60: Dike
smileygurl8830: FAGGOT
I blame AIM for my social malfunctions and my rare form of "Automotive Resperatory Diamysis"...I also blame them for chronic hunger in Siam & the liver spots on the aged.
The end.
What I've learned today in life, love, and politics:
Life: Steven Orr Spurrier is a magician.
Love: Rhymes with Fluve---if you pronounce it right.
Politics: I don't remember loaning China billions of dollars.

Surprise!
Man--I suck at blogging.
In case anyone was wondering, I did not die recently; ergo that was not the reason for my absence in "blogger" world. Lots of non-cyber related porn...took my mind off of the important things in life.
So I have been contemplating about writing for my university's newspaper. Something along the lines of sitting in a "secret" spot, watching the kids go by, and making fun of them with my sharp wit and binoculars. There is so much potential here for bitchy comments via moi--like the other day, I saw this big-un' with her hair extensions the same color as her bright purple shirt and shoes! Since when did Barney start advertising on college campuses?---I'd really like a job.
Oh, and how about the cattle that keep parading in plaid mini-shorts around school?! I do not want to see your cellulite, uterus, or branded butt cheeks on my way to psych. of religion. Literally, these girls look like their shorts are about to be eaten away by the munching of their famished asses---to put it in layman's terms. Obviously they don't realize that guys don't go for that bull...especially when there are people like me walking around.
And don't think that boys escape my scrutiny. I was talking with a friend recently about how guys are becoming so much more metro-sexual on campus. Funny since this is south carolina and this is south carolina---there are no "metros", there are no equal rights, 5 girls in an apartment is considered a brothel. Why the hell do I have to share my skinny jeans, sunglasses, hair styles and makeup with all the guys in the world? So what if we stole your multi-bladed razors, boxer-briefs, and pants! You pratically handed them to us! But my feminity?! You can't have it, "metro-boy," so give it back.
What I've learned today in life, love, and politics:
Life: Is funnier when viewed upside down, drunk, and shirtless.
Love: PLUMP WHEN YOU COOK THEM!
Politics: Palin= knocked up teen
Mrs. Spears= knocked up Jamie-Lynn
The question is who will shave their head next?
