So recently there have been a few changes in the world of politics that have changed my position on who to support.

1. His policy on reinstating the assault weapons ban of 1994 has "disappeared" from his list of issues on the obama biden website. I guess it isn't a full acknowledgment of his "change" from his true values, but still, we get to keep our AKs! btw, first he got rid of talking about the weapons ban in the agenda section of change.gov, but now the entire agenda is gone.

2. According to various websites, he has a good republican friend, Richard Lugar. This is awesome for 2 reasons, 1. Obama shows support for going "across the aisle", and 2. the guy's name is Dick Luger. Seriously.

3. Obama recently announced his space policy, which involves pledging an additional 2 billion dollars into the constellation (Mars) program, as well as the Ares/Orion Launch/Lander projects. This is important not only because of the Chinese and Russian space programs catching up with ours, but also because i <3 nasa.

4. Rupert Murdoch ordered foxnews to stop airing criticism against Obama. Without my main source of propaganda, I have no where to direct my irrational hate.

Anyways, these things have changed my opinion toward the secret muslim. Maybe he isn't gonna be that bad. Sure, he has no values and only does what the masses want, but maybe that is what America needs right now. Go Obama!

On a side note:
Barack Obama
Bar Ack

Believe in Magic

Have any of you played Fable 2 yet? It's an awesome game, but aside from that it has a very interesting line that is said very early in the game. It is when Theresa (the almost grandmother-figure) solemnly says, "It is a grim day indeed, when even children are too world-weary to believe in magic," when the main character's sister says that magic isn't real. Even though, in Fable 2, magic is actually real this could be applied to the real world.


I think to everyone, magic isn't an actual thing that we can use. Or... at least we don't think that now that we're older. However, when we were younger magic was something that we could dream on, something that we could believe in, and something that could make the impossible possible and the unthinkable attainable. I remember that when I was younger, I actually believed in magic, I remembered my friends believing in Santa Clause, I remember even some of my friends believing in the easter bunny. Even though I think we probably realized that there was really no possible way for any of this to happen, we still believed. In a sense magic, when we were younger, was the embodiment of the hope that we had, and if this belief in magic by children leaves this world, the hope that comes with it will die as well. It is true. it would be a grim day indeed.
