Update

Okay so much has been going on in the news and my life.

To begin things with whats most important. I finished my last day at work at the Marketplace. Yes, my awful job that I had while in grad school this past year. It sucked but I think I really made some really good friends due to this job. I enjoyed meeting and working with my co-workers. It was great. It definitely helped this year be more manageable.

Today I finished my last two exams. I am happy to be done with that. I thought I would be more relieved to be done but I really am just feeling indifferent right now. I guess it hasn’t really sunk in that I am done with my Masters degree. Yep you read that right. In a couple days I will be graduating and getting that paper. Kinda unreal but I am ready to get that over with.

I have also been trying to get everything together for my graduation party. Those that know me know that I have never had a graduation party. I am kinda nervous to see who all will show up. The best part is that a couple of my Line brothers are coming to town for it. It will be great. I gotta find a way to entertain them. I have thought of a couple of things. It will all work out in the long run. I am excited about it. It’s all I keep talking about. I know my friends are tired of hearing about it.

Now to some current events. President Bush and the Republican party have sunk to new lows in my book. (I know they are already pretty low in my book but they have managed to be put even lower) In case you have been living under a box for the last week, you might have heard that President Bush was calling for a constitutional amendment that banned gay marriage. Yea you know the issue that President Bush talked about when he was up for reelection, but mysteriously forgot about after being reelected. Why now? Many have speculated that President Bush and Republicans are trying to get their main base of supporters (conservatives) energized. I truly believe this is the reason why this issue was brought up. President Bush approval ratings are at an all time low and Republicans are fearful of losing their majority in Congress. Its sad that they would try and make something out of nothing. The American society have nothing to worry about gay marriage will not ruin our society. I doubt we have to really worry about it becoming illegal considering most of the states have put the issue up to voters and voters have supported not legalizing gay marriage. Why can’t the Republicans and the President just leave well enough alone. Today the US Senators' vote was 49-48 to limit debate and bring the amendment to a yes-or-no decision. That was 11 short of the 60 needed, killing the measure in the Senate for this year. Thanks senators for wasting value time on this issue this week. I just wish the President and the Republican majority was eager to talk about poverty, AIDS, and the skyrocketing price to attend college and the decrease in federal funding. Yeah its sad but I shouldn’t be to upset over it. I mean I am talking about Republicans.

Finally, while watching the View this morning, they began talking about Ann Coulter. Well I am going to insert an article from Yahoo news about the controversy surrounding this crazy lady.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Conservative author Ann Coulter sparked a storm on Wednesday after describing a group of September 11 widows who backed the Democratic Party as millionaire "witches" reveling in their status as celebrities. }

"I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much," Coulter writes in her book "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," published on Tuesday, referring to four women who headed a campaign that resulted in the creation of the September 11 Commission that investigated the hijacked plane attacks.
Coulter wrote that the women were millionaires as a result of compensation settlements and were "reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis."
A spokeswoman for publisher Crown Forum said it had set a first print run of 1 million copies of "Godless" and there were 1.5 million copies of Coulter's previous four books in print.
The four women, Kristen Breitweiser, Patty Casazza, Mindy Kleinberg and Lorie Van Auken, declined to discuss the book in detail but issued a statement saying they had been slandered.
"There was no joy in watching men that we loved burn alive. There was no happiness in telling our children that their fathers were never coming home again," said the statement signed by the four, along with a fifth woman, Monica Gabrielle.
The four women, who live in or around East Brunswick, New Jersey, became friends after September 11 and formed a group that agitated for the investigation. "Our only motivation ever was to make our nation safer," they said.
Coulter, whose books include the bestseller "How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)," argues in the new book the women she dubs "the Witches of East Brunswick" wanted to blame

President George W. Bush for not preventing the attacks.
She criticized them for making a campaign advertisement for Democratic presidential candidate Sen.

PERSONAL ATTACKS
Asked by Reuters why she made such personal comments, Coulter said by e-mail, "I am tired of victims being used as billboards for untenable liberal political beliefs."
"A lot of Americans have been seething over the inanities of these professional victims for some time," she added.
Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg (news, bio, voting record) of New Jersey said Coulter's "shameless attack" on the widows sparked disgust. "Her bookselling antics and accompanying vulgarity deserve our deepest contempt," he said in a statement.
The New York Post, owned by Rupert Murdoch's News. Corp., slammed the comments in an article on Wednesday headlined: "Righty writer Coulter hurls nasty gibes at 9/11 gals."
Coulter, a regular television commentator who is hugely popular among some conservatives, was challenged on NBC's "Today" show on Tuesday over what host Matt Lauer called "dramatic" remarks, prompting her to say, "You are getting testy with me."
Coulter is known for a combative column after September 11 saying, "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity." In one book, she wrote, "Even Islamic terrorists don't hate America like liberals do."
Her latest comments were quoted on radio stations in New York on Wednesday and the book was the subject of debate on Web sites such as www.salon.com. The Daily News newspaper's front-page headline was "Coulter the Cruel."
The controversy appeared to be doing no harm to sales of Coulter's latest book, which was listed as the second-best seller of the day at online retailer Amazon.com on Wednesday afternoon.

Okay now what people will do to sell a d#mn book. I have seen this woman on many political talk shows and I even though I don’t agree with everything she says I never expected to hear something so heartless and stupid from her. She has sunk to a new low and I hope people don’t read her garbage. She needs to get a grip on life.

Anyways I am America’s Nightmare…
