Great Scott!

I wrote this earlier today--shortly before I lost internet access for hours. It's kind of just...interesting.

I actually have been mildly afraid to go ahead and make this post. You may understand...see, the government has something it likes to call the Military Commissions Act. Basically, and I am sure you already know this, it gives the executive office full discretionary rights to imprison and detain any person considered to be a belligerent, whether they're U.S. or foreign citizens. And they can torture them and hold them indefinitely, without having to tell them why, or hold a trial, or offer the chance for appeal. Anyway, I just really don't want those fantastic bloggers they have all over nowadays to catch on that...I kinda like Ahmadinejad...seriously.
Now, don't get me wrong, please. He is so crazy. It's fantastic. He is the best president ever to have been elected to a Middle Eastern, and, maybe even better, a Persian country. And, you know what really makes me happy? He is part of the Islamic political party--which pretty much puts Islam in the center of governmental decisions. And, for me, this is exactly what Islam doesn't need...but, that's another story, and I want to get into that one later....Anyway, Ahmadinejad, why do I love him so?
A.) He is probably the best spinner I have seen in all of my years as a political observant. If anyone missed the interview this summer Anderson Cooper got with Ahmadinejad, you know what I am talking about. He can turn around anything, which is admirable--politically.
B.) He's super crazy. If you didn't think he was crazy when he was spinning questions and lying about his nuclear program, you didn't know crazy. Now, after his little convention, I think he tops the Big List O' Crazy.
Now, the statement attempted with the convention--which was to deny the Holocaust ever happened--was to stop Israel from using the Holocaust as an excuse to exploit the Palestinians and other Arab nations in the area. Now, how the Israel government is using it as an excuse escapes me, but I do see what is happening in Gaza, and I do not see a viable excuse there. However, the statement that was made, was a little more anti-Semitic. Which is all very controversial.
So, crazy, anti-Semitic Ahmadinejad is well on his controversial way to convincing the American government he is going to start World War III.
He is, indeed, my favorite president. Not just for his very interesting name--it's very fun to say--but, because he is crazy, and crazy sparks controversy, and controversy is news. Damn good news. And I like news.
I know none of this was really what I want to achieve on this blog, but, it was certainly something I want to talk about here. It's all part of the introduction.
...p.s. I love Jews. Almost as much as Ahmadinejad seems to hate them....
Also, I had a fantastic comment, but, it was sadly deleted. For the best, I presume.
Do We Have to Go Back to the Future?
Also, I am seriously fascinated with what is going on with Saudi Arabia...oooh, I need to get up to speed. It turns out that, having a roommate who completely represses your love for CNN is very detrimental to your knowledge of current events. Luckily, she's in Mississippi, and I go back to Oklahoma on Monday.
That is all.
Welcome to the Future....
