Politics and a Music Video

Hey there folks,

Well, it's now obvious that Mike Huckabee did not go on to win the Republican nomination for president. That was pretty much a foregone conclusion, but I was still hoping against hope. Too bad, I say.

Now we are stuck with supreme liberals in the form of Obama and Hillary, and a wishy-washy moderate/liberal (except when it comes to Iraq...and then he's just like George Bush...and when it comes to Israel, where again he's just like George W.) in the form of McCain.

What's wrong with the American political parties? Well, the problem is not the political parties...although the two biggest are pretty much alike in most respects these days. The problem is the road blocks the two major parties place in front of third parties...whether growing or stagnating, large or small...in order to prevent competition on the ballot. Making it really hard to gain ballot access is a nasty tactic the Republicans and Democrats have resorted to, so that Socialists, Communists, Environmentalists, Constitutionalists, Libertarians and more...all niche parties cannot compete. That's just wrong. The two major parties are just not THAT inclusive.

Well, I am done with my political ranting for the moment. I have to shout out about a music video I saw on YouTube.com. The video was freakin awesome. I'm not much into boy bands (I like my Rock-n-Roll) but this video was visually beautiful. I just know teenage girls would be frothing at the mouth over it.

You should check it out too!
The link to watch the video is here:

I'm going to go ahead and embed it here too because it deserves to be watched.



Peace for now peoples!
