All right. We've taken out the nastier menace. So now things can get back to usual, and we can all get back to hating Bush.
THE NEW SUPREME COURT
The new Supreme Court that Bush will be creating is going to be quite the double-edged sword. Obviously, I'm rather happy about the idea because it's going to save the lives of thousands of Southern and Midwestern children by Lewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05911126684949164369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109455.post-1099553899835157572004-11-03T23:09:00.000-08:002004-11-04T00:27:29.503-08:00CULTURE WARS - THE GOOD GUYS STRIKE BACK
Some of you Democrats get it. I was, for instance, quite impressed by Jon Stewart's appraisal of the situation during tonight's "Daily Show". Many of you, however, still don't understand. You continue to rant on about the "morons" who voted for Bush and now you say that you're walking around like somebody shot your dog. Instead of berating you, let me Lewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05911126684949164369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109455.post-1099380993539449982004-11-01T23:25:00.000-08:002004-11-02T11:52:36.166-08:00Pre=Election Bonanza
So is it wrong that I'm largely rooting for Bush just because I want to watch all the lefties go fucking nuts when he wins? Sure, I like the idea of lowering taxes and reversing Roe v. Wade, but I think I'm really pulling for him just because I want to watch Michael Moore go into a Steak'Umm-fueled frenzy when he realizes that all his propaganda efforts were a failure.

I have always believed that one of the reasons that poker is such a passion of mine is because of the way that all of poker can be viewed as a metaphor for life. There are few situations that can not be redefined as a poker hand or session. One such connection is this - You are not out of the game until your last chip is gone.

For those of you without faith in our judicial system, I suggest that you are simply looking at the wrong newsflashes.

The worst lie that schoolchildren have ever had inflicted upon them is that dorks are picked on because they are smarter than the other kids. This has been going on for quite some time now. Kids are told that the reason they are routinely harassed in school is because the bullies are jealous of their intelligence and that this is the only way that they can dealLewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05911126684949164369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109455.post-1078548715171283702004-03-05T20:51:00.000-08:002004-03-05T20:57:58.403-08:00Reflections, by Lewis Ranja
For those whackjobs out there who insist that rap music does not have a considerable and detrimental effect upon society as a whole, and especially upon black society, I urge you to come teach in a few elementary schools. On Monday, I was teaching a class that was mainly Hispanic, but with a small amount of black and white students.

The California Supreme Court recently ruled that a Catholic charity organization must offer birth-control coverage to its employees as part of its health insurance plan - despite the fact that many Catholics believe birth control to be a sin.

The California Bar Exam is now behind me, and I certainly hope that it will never be in front of me again. For those of you do not know, the California Bar Exam is the most difficult bar exam in the nation - which puts it in the running for the most difficult exam in the nation. It's a three day test.

In the four months that I have been in Las Vegas, I have witnessed two quickly escalating trends. The first is the popularity of poker.

I was down in the TV lounge looking for something to watch a couple nights back, when I came across Comedy Central's Commie Awards - a show that was partly an awards show, party a joke, and partly an example of how Alysson Hannigan seems to keep getting hotter each time that I see her.
At one point, they gave out an award for the "Funniest Comedian Behind Bars".

Well, hot damn! I just took another look at Ted Rall's blog, and I saw that I apparently am not the only one in our discourse to be posting the e-mails. Take a look. Of course, he maintains his belief that there was not a single Allied death following the end of World War II. I must admit that he does have one citation in favor of him.

The spelling errors and occasional failure to properly identify grammatical terms is a little offputting, but you have to appreciate the overall effort.

Once again, the liberal looniness of Koppelman has inspired me to write a retaliatory post. Mr. Koppelman is under the commonly held belief that Islam is a religion of peace and love.

Here's an educational Blackjack tale for you. Monday marked the fourth day of a losing streak for me.
