just some info on one of the republican candidates:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071208/ap_po/huckabee_aids_5

Mike Huckabee once advocated isolating AIDS patients from the general public, opposed increased federal funding in the search for a cure and said homosexuality could "pose a dangerous public health risk."

why is this not all over the news right this second, to echo kapunua's sentiment? seriously. THIS is news, not fucking britney spears or whatever dumb-ass i don't care about that is popular at the moment.

"Combination therapy prevents the virus from forming and mutating in human beings. When the virus is halted in its progress, the number of healthy CD4+T cells begins to rise and patients, who would otherwise die from HIV, can now survive. The immune system is rejuvenated and is apparently able to normalise itself, providing that the combination therapy is maintained."

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE AND LINKIN PARK FOR THE FUCKING WIN!

but boo on frankie-hating camera men. he looked hot, why you no show him on the big screen?

and gerard all hot and sweaty? also hot. :o

chester's got...a lot of new ink.

"pushing me away" was beautiful, as was "the little things give you away."

i absolutely could not tell you the complete set list for anyone...at least not in the right order...but i can try.

MCR (in no sort of order except that i remember hearing it played):

juana, what in hell did they start with? >_o
-how i disappear(?) (did i make that up?)
-famous last words
-i'm not okay
-house of wolves
-you know what they do to guys like us in prison
-welcome to the black parade
-the sharpest lives
-mama
-heaven help us
-teenagers
-helena
-cancer (i do recall those were the last two)

i may be missing some stuff.

Linkin Park:
-one step closer (i know for sure they started with this)
-no more sorrow
-lying from you
-leave out all the rest
-somewhere i belong
-don't stay
-papercut
-given up
-points of authority
-shadow of the day
-pushing me away
-breaking the habit
-numb
-from the inside
-crawling
-in the end
-bleed it out
encore:
-the little things give you away
-what i've done
-faint

again, may be forgetting something. i'm terrible with remembering such things.

claudia!

READ THIS. alpa sent me this. very interesting. i know a lot of suburbanites would be scared to even set foot in my school, but i know it's not as ghetto as it could be.

IN the past year or so I have seen Matthew Perry drink 30 cartons ofmilk, Ted Danson explain the difference between a rook and a pawn, andHilary Swank remind us that white teachers still can’t dance or jivetalk. In other words, I have been confronted by distorted images of myown profession — teaching. Teaching the post-desegregation urban poor,to be precise.

.........

While no one believes that hospitals are really like “ER” or thatdoctors are anything like “House,” no one blames doctors for thefailure of the health care system. From No Child Left Behind to CityHall, teachers are accused of being incompetent and underqualified,while their appeals for better and safer workplaces are systematicallyignored.
Every day teachers are blamed for what the systemthey’re just a part of doesn’t provide: safe, adequately staffedschools with the highest expectations for all students. But that’s notsomething one maverick teacher, no matter how idealistic, perky orself-sacrificing, can accomplish.

happy MLK day.

"It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can stop him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important."

"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools."

"The good neighbor looks beyond the external accidents and discerns those inner qualities that make all men human and, therefore, brothers."

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

"Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars... Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."

"Faith is taking the first step, even when you don’t see the whole staircase."

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."

"I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law."

"A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on an installment plan."

"Don't let anybody make you think God chose America as his divine messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world. God has a way of standing before the nations with justice and it seems I can hear God saying to America "you are too arrogant, and if you don't change your ways, I will rise up and break the backbone of your power, and I will place it in the hands of a nation that doesn't even know my name. Be still and know that I'm God. Men will beat their swords into plowshafts and their spears into pruning hooks, and nations shall not rise up against nations, neither shall they study war anymore." I don't know about you, I ain't going to study war anymore."

"...And I've looked over, and I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land. So I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man."
-Martin Luther King Jr. (1929 - 1968), Speech in Memphis, April 3, 1968, the day before King was assassinated

bush won't listen to the citizens who think this "war" is bullshit...will he listen to the soldiers? heh. somehow i doubt it. he doesn't care.

"Nothing's going to help. It's a religious war, and we're caught in the middle of it," said Sgt. Josh Keim, a native of Canton, Ohio, who is on his second tour in Iraq. "It's hard to be somewhere where there's no mission and we just drive around."

...

Sgt. Justin Thompson, a San Antonio native, said he signed up for delayed enlistment before the Sept. 11 terror attacks, then was forced to go to a war he didn't agree with.

A troop surge is "not going to stop the hatred between Shia and Sunni," said Thompson, who is especially bitter because his 4-year contract was involuntarily extended in June. "This is a civil war, and we're just making things worse. We're losing. I'm not afraid to say it."

and yes, the article IS balanced...there are people quoted who support the idea of extra troops. but this is what stood out to me.

Many soldiers say troop surge a bad idea
