Well, Supershuttle picks me up in 2.5 hours, and my plane leaves in 6. I don't know if/when I'll be able to update this blog again, but oh well.
Goodbye.

I just failed my Hydraulics final
But that's ok.
On the plus side, our President is an idiot. Look at his wink at the Queen:
Now see the Queen's cold glare in response:
LOL

Now for the rest of the day I get to take boxes from here to Manhattan Mini Storage. Yay.

Wolfgang Puck looks like a child molester
Although I must say his soups pwn the shite out of Cambell's and Progresso.
Annoying Mike Fatcessa-isms
"the point of the matter is..."
"tampa two!"
"this idea that..."
"this game will have ENOURMOUS ramifications!"
"I could have (fill in the blank with a common sports manouvre that he couldn't actually perform such as hit a ball/run to first/tackle/etc)"
"(insert sports team here) needs to rearrange the furniture"
"Number X can..."
Waaaaaa waaaaaaaaa Mike Francessa is the most annoying Yankees fan ever :(

Mike and the Mad Dog diss Yankees
On today's show, Fruitloops and Fatass (Mike Fatcessa... I mean Francessa, and Chris "I want to make love to the San Francisco Giants despite tha fact that they left New York eons ago" Russo) slammed the Yankees' signing of Clemens as lowering the team's status to that of a "circus." Ugh, nevermind the fact that Clemens is the best pitcher of our era!!!
Also irritating is that right now they're slamming the Yankees bench as the "worst bench in Yankees history." Gaaaaaaaah YES needs to drop those losers!

More data to suggest that Ron Paul won the debate
Traffic to his website has tripled since the debate, while traffic to his three main competitors (Giuliani, McCain, Romney) has decreased. Paul's website now pulls more traffic as those three combined.
Amazing! The great libertarian miracle? Maybe. I'm not holding my breath, though.

Why I support Ron Paul
Prior to his entrance into the race for the GOP nomination, I supported Rudy Giuliani. I still like Rudy, make no mistake, but ideologically Ron Paul is superior (even if he's a dirty Texan ;) ). Ron Paul, Congressman from rural southeast Texas, is the ONLY libertarian-minded thinker in Congress, voting for limited, Constitutional government 100% of the time.
Like I said, he is a thinker - unlike the remainder of Congress. He's allowed to think due to the fact that 98% of his campaign funds come from individuals, not special interests and big corporations. His philosophical roots go back to Johne Locke, Adam Smith, and the American Founding Fathers. He is the only man in Congress arguing what George Washington wanted: "entangling alliances with no one and free trade with everyone." He believes in the original intent of the Constitution - something that Chris Matthews scoffed at during the debate last Thursday.
Ron Paul and I share the belief that the purpose, the ONLY purpose, of government is to secure the rights of life, liberty, and property of its people. In other words, you have the right to swing your fist wherever you want, so long as you don't hit my nose with it. That is where your rights end and the government must intervene. Otherwise, it should stay out. That means NO pre-emptive wars against dictators that did not aggress against us, NO laws against victemless crimes such as marijuana smoking and sodomy, and NO entitlement programs. This is how government functioned up until the Progressive Era of the early 1900's, and that is how government should function in the future.
In the debate, Paul argued for pulling our troops out of Iraq IMMEDIATELY. After all, says Paul, it was the Republican Party elected to get us out of Korea and, later, Vietman. It was the LIBERAL DEMOCRATS who got us into those messes! The roll-reversal is disgraceful for the Republican Party. Fact is that, as Paul pointed out in the debate, we're fretting over and planning wars with third-world nations with no army, no navy, and no air force. How does that espouse the small-government ideal of true conservatism? It doesn't.
The debate boiled down to nine neoconservatives and Ron Paul. The entire philosophy of the purpose of government supported by the other nine candidates was inherently contrary to everything Paul stood for in the same debate. Paul was the only candidate to come out strong against National ID cards, but a few others backtracked after his strong opposition. Paul was the only candidate to firmly come out against the war. Paul was the only candidate to oppose ANY regulation of the internet, and that includes shameful regulation of internet gambling that the other nine Republicans supported. Paul is the only candidate opposed to the Drug War, an issue especially close to me given my location in urban New York. I see and hear about the carnage resulting from drug prohibition every day, and yet the neocons would have government continue down the same anti-drug path, essentially equivalent to banging its own head repeatedly against a stone wall.
It's time to reign the neoconservatives and big government in. It's time to vote for Ron Paul! Huzzah :D

How depressing
Some of you may know that I've been writing a story. Well, the jist is that it's about a shitty town in Kansas called "Wellsford." People in town start strangely disappearing, and the town minister is elected mayor to stop it. He leads a witch hunt against the protagonist's girlfriend, etc. Anyway, the town Greensburg is mentioned several times, since it is the closest decent sized town for shopping and such.
Well, today Greensburg was destroyed by a tornado. Shit >_<

More post-debate polls
The Drudge Report poll has closed, with Ron Paul in second with 22% to Mitt Romney with 29%. Giuliani was third with 21%.
MSNBC has Ron Paul leading in four out of five catagories, with Giuliani winning in the fifth catagory, "leadership."
WorldNetDaily has opened a poll, with Paul recieving 31% of the vote to Romney's 22% and Giuliani's 20%.
And yet the mainstream media continues to refuse to cover the man. Other than the National Review, which says Paul makes good points, but looks "impish" so he could never be elected. ABC News's poll includes nine out of ten candidates - all of them EXCEPT for Ron Paul: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/BeSeenBeHeard/popup?id=3135373
Disgraceful.

RON PAUL WON THE DEBATE!!!
48% of those polled on MSNBC's online poll had a positive opinion of his performance tonight. The second most favoured was Romney at 35%. The libertarian won!!! Of course, that's no surprise since libertarianism is inherently the only correct political persuasion. It's not hard to win a debate ;)
Update: Drudge has him in third, after Romney and close to Giuliani. Either way, a really strong showing for someone who only had 1% name recognition prior to the debate!!!
Second Update: MSNBC has declared Ron Paul the winner of the debate based on their poll results.

Course evaluations came in today
I owned my Calc II Recitation survey.
Students gave me 3.45 for clarity, 3.21 for helpfulness, 1.65 for ease, and 3.80 for overall quality. Yay me!
>_>
<_<
x__x
Oh well, I think that's equivalent to a C or something. Maybe C-. Or a D+. :D
Well, the comments were wonderful. Here's what my students (ananymously) had to say about TA Jack:
"Tells stupid jokes at the beginning of each class. Thinks he's funny and everyone likes him, but the opposite is true."
"Jack is the greatest man ever. His recitations are 75 minutes of non-stop hilarity and they're the only ones I bother to show up to. He can't teach though."
"Either incredibly brilliant or incredibly stupid, depending on the time of day and the topic at hand. Nobody can read what he writes on the board because of his handwriting, but if you ask him after class to explain something he will gladly do so."
"TA typifies confused and disorganized scientist stereotype. Focuses on theory rather than practicality. Recitations are spent deriving equations instead of learning how to apply them, despite that we are tested on practical applications, making recitations basically useless. Thankfully, attendence isn't mandatory so I just stopped showing up."
"Jack is a prodigy, literally a rocket scientist. He's better than Kleeman (the professor for whom I worked), so I just stopped going to lectures, focusing on recitations only. He pretty much ignores the textbook and teaches straight from his mind, which is a welcome change. Non-math majors might have trouble keeping up with him, though."
I know who wrote the first and last ones :P

Holy shit, the vending machines downstares suck
A few minutes ago I made a run downstares to the vending machines to buy lunch (a Snickers Bar and a bag of Sun Chips) with three $1 bills.
Well, have I got horrors to tell you. I put the first bill in the vending machine, and it SPIT THE BILL BACK OUT! Not since I attempted to use a Sacagawea Dollar have I recieved so much disrespect by a vending machines.
Then I run FIVE FUCKING FLIGHTS up stairs to my room to get another dollar, then back down again. I insert this bill into the vending machine, and it just takes the dollar without even spitting it back out! What the bloody fucking hell is wrong with this situation???
So I walk up to the guard and tell him the vending machine isn't working, and he gave me a strange look and asked why I was asking HIM, since he was the security guard. Good question!
I go back to my arch nemesis, Sir Vending Machine of Lobbynia for a duel. I shake him around a bit. No luck. Naturally, I decided to insert another dollar. Hey! This time it credited me with $2! Excellent.
So I insert the final dollar to complete the purchase of my balanced lunch. It spits it back out. Knowing this is my last dollar, I try again and again. After seventeen tries, I realize that the machine isn't budging. But, when I press the coin return button for my $2 back, it just sits and stares at me. I am now out $2. Sir Vending may have won the battle, but I will win the war!
My life is so great that even my miseries are epic.

My advice to the 2008 Republican candidates for nomination
John McCain: Make sure to fear-monger a lot on the issue of judicial activism. Nevermind the fact that it was conservatives praising judicial activism when the courts began striking down New Deal laws in the 1930's. Win the support of the Religious Right you publicly insulted years ago.
Rudy Giuliani: Talk about 9/11. Come out strong in support of the Iraq War and the global "War on Terror." Win over the neocons.
Mitt Romney: Highlight the fact that you did your best to keep uber-Massachusetts under control. Hammer Rudy and McCain on social issues as much as possible. Build support among douchebag flip-floppers who support candidates that change positions on key issues such as abortion and gay marriage as they navigate the political world.
Sam Brownback: Make sure everybody knows you're from Kansas. Conservatives love shitty, dull, box-shaped states like Kansas. You're from the Intelligent Design state! Be proud!
Mike Huckabee: Shut the fuck up.
Duncan Hunter: Once again, location location location. Drive in the fact that you're from the one solidly Red area of California: San Diego. Also drive in the fact that, like many other solidly Red areas, SD is a dull shithole that nobody east of Arizona knows exists.
Jim Gilmore: Who are you? Next.
Tom Tancredo: Make sure you don't piss off that pesky GOP Governor who immigrated from Austria. Yes, that unfortunately means that you cannot blame "wet-backs, beaners, and taxi-cab drivers" for all of society's ills.
Tommy Thompson: Highlight the fact that you're far and away the closest of all the candidates to Bush. Everybody loves Bush.
Ron Paul: Just make sure to be the sexy libertarian beast you are. Other than that, how could I ever offer advice to the second Messiah? I LOVE YOU RONNIE!
Man, beyond Ron Paul and Rudy, the Republican Party sure does blow. Ugh.
Rudy Giuliani: Talk about 9/11. Come out strong in support of the Iraq War and the global "War on Terror." Win over the neocons.
Mitt Romney: Highlight the fact that you did your best to keep uber-Massachusetts under control. Hammer Rudy and McCain on social issues as much as possible. Build support among douchebag flip-floppers who support candidates that change positions on key issues such as abortion and gay marriage as they navigate the political world.

I've been out-debated
From a Gamefaqs forum:
The Advent: This is even more ridiculous than when Russia accused itself of still mattering. (referring to an article about Russia in the Telegraph)
Me: "This is even more ridiculous than when Italy accused itself of still mattering."
Fixed. Russia has oil and nukes. They matter.
The Advent: Yes, but don't their people still freeze to death every winter en masse and don't they lose wars to Chechen rebels? Lots of good oil and nukes are doing them.
Me: Better than losing wars to Ethiopia.
The Advent: Italy lost to Ethiopia in 1896 and later gassed and conquered the entire country.
Russia lost to the chechens in 1996 and still can't get them under control.
How is Russia better, again?
Me: Chechnya is under Russian federal control once more. It's ok Advent, we know you can't help failing. You're Italian, its in your blood to fail :P
Random Person: IN SOVIET RUSSIA, MOON BLOCKADE YOU!!!!
The Advent: "Chechnya is under Russian federal control once more."
Ok, go there and tell them that.
Russia, can't get your own rebels in control. The closest the US has to chechnya is Detroit. And thats only when one of their sports teams wins a title.
...
The Detroit comment wins :(

NY-NJ Port Authority wants to charge tolls both ways across Hudson River bridges and tunnels
My commute to NJ is going to be so much fun :-/
$5 toll each way plus $16 to go through Manhattan ($8 each way) thanks to Bloomberg's stupid congestion plan. $26/day to commute, plus gas. Ghey.

Funny MSNBC article about Hillary Clinton from 2004
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4372246/
I especially like this bit:
As for Iraq, Clinton accused Bush and his advisers of “a rush to turn over the helm to anyone” in Iraq. “The administration’s policy seems in disarray except for their commitment to the date of July 1.”
She urged Bush to “consider delaying a transfer of sovereignty to the Iraqis for a few months at least.” But Bush and his aides are, she charged, “anxious to get out.”
What a flip-flopper she is.

Illegal immigrant rallies around New York
At Washington Square today the illegals were out in full force. The police were also out in full force, watching over them. My favourite sign was "We don't have our papers, but we work and pay taxes!"
If they admit that they don't have their papers, then why don't the police just go through and arrest them all? So much for a nation of laws.
