i wish i knew what was going on in america, it sounds so interesting
if im going to study politics i should PROBABLY be keeping an eye on current affairs outside of my own country
exams have taken over my life!
i learnt last term in school about stupid politicians who do stupid things and then ministerial responsibility falls apart and nothing happens to them
some people get really riled up about how corrupt political systems can be and im not one of those people, it doesnt really bother me, what bothers me is the stupidity exhibited by some of the idiots

No intelligent woman would vote for a “woman” so blatantly against woman’s rights.

Well, yeah it is, most of the buildings are actually built from fog, it was the only naturally available resource…

“This above all, to refuse to be a victim. ”

That’s an Atwood quote. And the whole thing about charging for rape kits is just sick.

Wow, a heart attack and twenty years later he’s still shooting people. That’s classic dark lord that is.

Yeah, the end of the world is unreliable… you wait ages for one and then three come along at once.

Atwood’s fantastic. I loved The Penelopiad as well.

It was idiotic of the Republicans to try that tactic for marketing Palin. Her town charging rape victims for their own rape kits was enough on its own to demonstrate how anti-woman she is.

Ooooh, politics to feminism! Margret Atwood is great, isn’t she?

Does this mean we can grumble about how stupid it was for the Republicans to think that feminists would vote for Palin, just cause she’s a woman?

Unfortunately, there are many people- politicians and otherwise- that are able to escape any real punishment for their actions while those who’ve committed lesser bad acts stay dead and buried.

It reminds me of a passage from The Handmaid’s Tale:

“Maybe none of this is about control. Maybe it isn’t really about who can own whom, who can do what to whom and get away with it, even as far as death. Maybe it isn’t about who can sit and who has to stand or kneel or lie down, legs spread open. Maybe it’s about who can do what to whom and be forgiven for it. Never tell me it amounts to the same thing.”

He must be one of Dick Cheney’s minions for he is truly the most evil thing anyone can imagine. I mean the guy doesn’t even have a heart anymore and everyone is aware of that fact. According to Wikipedia Dick had his first heart attack in 78.

what with our luck being what it is, I’d hardly expect the end of the world to come just when we need it most
