Democratic Presidential Poll

This has been done before, but with the ever-changing political climate, candidates quickly gain or lose ground (a la Biden). Since most of us here are Democrats, I'll list the top Democratic candidates. Feel free to share your thoughts about any candidate. It's never too early to begin thinking about our next president. Enjoy.

Barack Obama - Lefty's pick!
Hilary Clinton
Joe Biden
John Edwards
Christopher Dodds
Mike Gravel
Dennis Kucinich
Tom Vilsack
Bill Richardson
Wesley Clark
Al Gore
Al Sharpton

I think an Obama/Edwards or vice-versa ticket would be ideal. These two gentlemen have some good ideas.

Dimebag Darrell Rest In Peace!

Today marks the second anniversary of Darrell L. Abbott's death at the hands of a psychotic killer. The metal community continues to struggle with the thought of losing one of its most-talented and beloved axeman. Condolences are extended to the Abbott family. May such a trajedy never happen again.

We miss you Dime! WHY ARE THE GOOD ONES ALWAYS TAKEN FROM US?

Lefty Metalhead Endorses Barack Obama for President in 2008!

As many of have probably heard, Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) has indicated that he is thinking about a White House bid in 2008. This news comes as somewhat of a surprise due to the senator vehemently denying consideration just a few months ago. Obama now gives many Democrats like me hope for 2008. This nation needs a strong leader who can UNITE its people, not DIVIDE us like George W. Bush has done. Obama, in his book The Audacity of Hope, suggests that we need a new kind of politics, one that promotes unity to solve our nation's most critical problems. Not only must we fight corporate special interests, but we must also not tax ourselves to death. We should employ diplomacy with persuasion along with a strong military for our most serious threats. Our government must THINK before it acts. This is what Obama stands for, and that alone warrants my support for him.

I came across Obama's eloquent ideas during his 2004 senatorial campaign, in which I was a volunteer. In person, Obama is just as well-spoken, intelligent, and well-mannered as he appears on camera, perhaps even more. He embodies everything our nation's leader should be. I urge everyone who loves this country to support Obama. If you happen to have concerns regarding his experience, rest assured that nobody arrives to the presidency "prepared". We have seen this is true with the current president, who never quite looked prepared to handle our domestic concerns. For those of you who are skeptical about both parties, I don't blame you. However, it is your job as a citizen to change the current political landscape, and refusing to participate only makes your cause look hypocritical. Let us save this nation from governing ineptitude.

Barack Obama, you have my vote. Now please run!

Looks like Blabbernu went PC.

"To report any abusive, obscene, defamatory, racist, homophobic or threatening comments, or anything that may violate any applicable laws, please send an e-mail to bmouth@bellatlantic.net with pertinent details.

Now I am not a racist man nor a homophobic man but isn't it obscene comments that gave Blabbermouth it's name? I think Bori(ng) just lowered the standards.

So if you are upset with Blabbersuck.nu come over to a site that isn't full of uptight numbskulls. Sign up for Metal Pwns All today! You won't find any Avenged Sevenfold news there.

Right-Wing Lunacy

As we all know, gay marriage has been a hot topic for Americans in the last few years. Today, while reading my daily dosage of The Onion, I came across this excellent piece about legislation that would protect the "sanctity" of marriage (note: marriage can be attained in drive-thru chapels in Las Vegas)from SHARKS!!! According to conservatives, marriage is under attack! Well, let's all do our part and urge our Congressmen to pass this law, for the protection of marriage is the most important issue in the universe!

New Bill Would Defend Marriage From Sharks

WASHINGTON, DC—Congressional Republicans cited the saw-edged teeth of the shark community as a direct threat to married couples everywhere.

Just in case some of you are wondering, the above story is FICTION. The Onion is a fictional, satirical newspaper that aims to put contemporary issues in a humorous light.

Remembering Vivian Casalduc

Every single American knows the impact the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001 had on this country. We had never been attacked in such a way, leaving us terrified and heartbroken. This year marks the 5th anniversary of, perhaps, the darkest day in American history. Our nation moved on, but the scars of the attacks remain in our hearts. The memories of that horrific day remain in our minds. The sorrow of losing so many loved ones remains in our souls.

In remembrance of September 11th, we set politics aside. We calm our anger toward our attackers. We look inside ourselves, profoundly, and ask whether we have become better people since that day. Most importantly, we refuse to forget about the blood, sweat, and tears that were shed. We realize that we must never let the victims' memories fade away.

This year, 2,996 bloggers decided to honor the people who needlessly died at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the field in Pennsylvania. I now have the honor of remembering Vivian Casalduc , an American who died with dignity.

I never had the priviledge of meeting Vivian. Nevertheless, I know who she was and what she did with her life. From a biography published in the New York Times on November 21, 2001...

Vivian Casalduc lived to make her family's eyes light up. Each December, she would bake gingerbread for a giant candy land, where the ground was coated with thick piles of shredded coconut (snow) and the houses were studded with lollipops and licorice. "She would make it the first two days in December and let everybody look at it all month long, and on Christmas morning, she'd let everyone ransack it," said her daughter Angilic Casalduc.

Five small grandchildren spent alternate weekends in her care, and would come home with cotton candy in a kaleidoscope of colors and shapes. Turns out, Grandma had bought a cotton candy machine.

A Brooklyn native who grew up in housing projects, Ms. Casalduc, 45, married at 16, had three children and divorced. Her job as a microfiche clerk at Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield moved two years ago from Brooklyn to the 28th floor of 1 World Trade Center. Her commute was longer, but the salsa concerts downstairs became a part of her lunchtime routine.

Ms. Casalduc left one prescient lesson, her daughter said: "Do everything the hard way." Why major in one subject when four would do, or take a taxi when public transportation was there? "Do it the easy way," Angilic Casalduc remembered, "and you'll never learn anything, and God forbid, anything happens, she worried we wouldn't know how to survive."

Here are some comments by Vivian Casalduc's friends and family, posted on several online memorials.

Yon-Paul Casalduc

I worked with Vivian for quite a few years at EBCBS. She always had a smile on her face and a cheer in her voice when answering the phone. She was always making us laugh and bringing in hilariously funny cakes for special occations. I think of her often and hold the memories of her close to heart. She always had love in her voice when talking about her children and grandchildren. God bless you all.

vivian:
I want to extend my sympathy to the casalduc family. I was a friend of her's from the housing projects. We always talked on the way to the train station at smith 9th every morning on our way to work. I will miss her.

Milly Calderon

Vivian, I miss you so much. God you don't know how much I wish that you were here with us. You are always on my mind and in my heart. Merry christmas. I love you so much. Your big sister. Milly

Vivian, you will forever be in our hearts and minds. We are all saddened by your tragic death at the hands of dastard terrorists. I am honored to have gotten the opportunity to remember you on this 5th anniversary of 9/11. Hopefully, we will all learn to become better people as a result of this tragedy. For the tragedy of 9/11 showed us humankind's worst, but also brought-out our best. We salute you Vivian!

A Year after Katrina

Are the levees any stronger? Has the Bush administration learned its lesson and become more competent? The answer to both is probably NO! The only positive I can derive from the Katrina disaster is the probability that many people will vote Democrat in two months. These GOP hacks have proven that they are out of touch with reality, only believing in religious mythology and ignoring the nation's real problems. September 11 looms, and I don't feel this administration has succeeded at making the country safer. It has been time for a change for years. American voters, make it happen!

Metal Haven

Metalheads, today I'll be visiting Chicago's premier heavy metal shop, Metal Haven, located near the corner of Broadway and Belmont in the Lakeview neighborhood. I look forward to purchasing some brutal shit, so I'll update this entry with reviews once I have listened to my acquisitions. I feel like a woman - excited about going shopping!

I have arrived

Thanks Lefty for the invite. I'll mostly help out with the metal side of this metal/politics blog. Cool blog. So
