Washington Post: 2 in 3 Polled Find Kerry's Comment 'Inappropriate'

An overwhelming majority of voters believes it was wrong for John F. Kerry to have mentioned in Wednesday's presidential debate that Vice President Cheney's daughter is a lesbian, according to The Washington Post tracking survey.

Eeeks. My bad! and Greenday sings... don't wanna be an American idiot... la la la.. hehehe

Big Deal?

I'm talking about Newspaper endorsement . NY times and Boston Globe endorsement of Kerry is no surprise. Shouldn't the media play fair and not endorse any candidate but just stay in the middle. But I guess it wouldn't be America if there's no democracy in choosing. It's their perogative but heck, does it really matter? It certainly will give something to ponder on for the voters if their national paper thinks that the best choice is the one their endorsing. It's helps but not really the one that counts though.

And the Polls keeps changing

It's soo tight nobody really leads for long. One minute it's Bush, and thr next it's Kerry. Latest now shows John Kerry having slight edge. The thing is there's so many different polls taken by vairous origanization and tracking pollster offering different results.

What matters really, and I've blogged about it before, is the election itself.

Blahgging!

I'm sleepy. Looking at m blogs the last few times had something to do with entertainment. I guess Politics and Showbiz are one and thesame.

Still leading

Survey polls indicate.. Bush still leading over Kerry

Goodbye Superman

The actor who played Superman three times, Christopher Reeve, died today. After battling for nine years of being weelchair bound and Enduring months of therapy to allow him to breathe for longer and longer periods without a respirator, Reeve emerged to lobby Congress for better insurance protection against catastrophic injury and to move an Academy Award audience to tears with a call for more films about social issues.

How sad. He battled for nine years with his spinal injury and becoming quadruplegic(?) and now he's dead. It somehow reminded me of young poet and frequent and favorite Oprah guest, Mattie Stepanek who was also wheel chair bound because of distrophy who died earlier this year.

The Terminator for President?

Californians not really liking it but according to reuters report..courtesy of yahoo...

The U.S. Constitution bars foreign-born Americans, who include figures such as Schwarzenegger and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, from becoming president. On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the issue, with the committee chairman Orrin Hatch, a Republican, backing a change to the Constitution.

Hmmm....anything's possible and as the famous termnitor Ahhhnuld would always say.. I'll be back! I guess this time as President? Errr... *shrugs* hehehee :)

A Telling Documentary

So I watched Bowling for Columbine (links below) earlier. Michael Moore, the anti Bush film maker, featured a lot of the guns that easily available on the streets, the net, anywhere actually. Of course who could forget the tragedy that Columbine(high school) suffered. It was the place where those gun toting teenagers riddled bullets everywhere killing a lot the students. More than the guns, He also high lighted the fact that whenever there's a crime, whatever level of it maybe, it would always be the black men who gets the blame and is incarcerated. He cited some samples in the film. He also featured, the panicked that people dealth with because of the Y2K scare and he mainly(and I think that it is what he was trying to point out) presented that because of the way the government handled the situation, they somehow created a picture of doom come the Y2K event..which of course nothing happened..duh. But basically, the main focal point of the film is what really ails America's society that really pushes them to brink of social disintegration.

I can't really critique the film. Just saw parts of it and it was good. But I still don't like the film maker!

Moore than you can bargain for

Controversial film by the anti Bush, anti war director Michael Moore, Farenheight 9/11 showing here. I've no idea of what it really is all about except I know it condemns President Bush for going to war in Iraq. I dunno if I should watch it or not I'm curious though.. Gah! I think I just wanna watch shark tales.

Axn Asia will however show Moore's film Bowling for Columbine I'm gonna watch that one even though I really don't like that Moore Guy.
