Only 36% of Under-35 Mississippians Approve of Bush
The latest SurveyUSA poll is out and it shows overall job approval for Bush is at 36% in the nation; 61% of Americans disapprove of the job he's doing.
ABC Poll: Tax System Unjust
According to an ABC Poll, nearly six in 10 Americans say that the current tax system is unjust, with 58 percent saying that the middle class bears too much of the burden. Is it true? In Bush's recent round of cuts, people making $50,000 a year or under averaged only about $10 gained from the capital gains and investment tax cuts, according to a report (PDF) by the Center for Tax Justice. If you make over $10 million a year, though, you averaged about $500,000 in benefits from the cuts. You, of course, then immediately invested it in creating American jobs...right?
An Inspirational Easter Message from the Pope
Every Easter, His Holiness blesses us with profound and insightful words of hope. And despite the outcome of the recent Italian elections, which witnessed conservative prime minister Silvio Berlusconi--the Vatican's preferred candidate and the richest man in Italy--fall to the liberal, pro-gay, pro-feminist prime minister-elect Romano Prodi, we can know that the See of St. Peter will continue to roll ahead, as it has for millennia, transcending the ephemera of worldly politics.
Glamour Shots
Well, I didn't break the camera, so I guess I'll share the pics with you. :-P
This Ain't Funny People! - Part Deux
This time, it's Fox's new reality show, "Unan1mous". I watched it a few times, and the direction the show was going bothered me immensely.

Blogger's Block
It's indecisiveness at it best, people...
Believe me, it's not that I don't have anything to blog about. I have TOO MUCH to blog about. Deciding which subjects would be best is the issue.
Red Steel Screenshots!
Alright, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do this, but I'm going to anyway. Nintendo's newest system is the Revolution, and they've been keeping it under wraps heavier than Area 51. But I have two scans of in-game graphics from the next-gen's first game: The FPS Red Steel. These pictures are exclusive, unless you find the site I jacked them from, or the site that site jacked them from, or if you read Game Informer.
When Black Isn't Beautiful
All around us the message sent is clear: 'You have to drive or live in this to show off your success.' If you've "made it", society seems inclined to set rules and regulations for proof. Ironically, the same guidelines seem to apply no matter what your social status. As a whole we are obsessed with having others fit our particular standards or ideals.

Later Guys, I'm Moving to Tamriel
Alright, I've had it with this stupid place. You can't steal silverware and weaponry and sell it at a local store, gates to hell that have to be closed to protect the very fabric of reality never open and get this, shooting superheated balls of fire at small woodland creatures? Banned.
