Lie @ MindSay

I think I have a serious problem with motivation. I don't even really have the motivation to write this post...

I think I also have a sleep problem. I can go fine for days without out it, but at the same time I could sleep for hours and hours.

I wake up around 9-11h and I won't be tired, but I'll still just lie in bed and go back to sleep. I can sleep all day, as I often do. Or just lie in bed for hours, doing nothing.

I don't want to waste the day in bed, but I just can't seem to get out. I have homework and lots of things I should be doing, but instead I sleep or just lay around. It makes me feel so pathetic, but I don't know how to stop.

I try to force myself to get out of bed, think of all the things ( and often things I enjoy) I have to do, but still I stay in bed.

I think I should see my doctor about this... it's just confusing. I also have a wierd sleeping pattern that I stay up til 5... and I can get up at whatever time and not be tired, no matter how much sleep I get.

Argh. It's so annoying because I hate wasting time, especially when I have so much to do, like right now! X.x

Those Clintons just can't stop lying, can they?  A few days ago, former President Bill Clinton brought up the Bosnia scandal again.  Obviously, he'd try to downplay it, but in true Clinton-esque fashion, he told one whopper after another.  The vid features Tim Russert completely dismantling Bill's argument.



First, Clinton said that his wife described the events incorrectly because it was "late at night" and she was "tired."  He then says that she only made those comments "one time."  As we see from the video, everything is a complete fabrication on his part.  First, Hillary Clinton did not make those statements just one time, as we saw.  There are four documented instances of her painting a very inaccurate picture of the event.  Secondly, none of the statements were made "late at night" as the former president claims, they were all in the morning or early afternoon.

This leads me to my next point.  If we are to discard the evidence and believe the Clinton's explanation of her serious gaffe, why would I want to vote for someone who will make errors that extreme because she's "tired?"  I thought the whole point of her campaign was that she is the one who will be ready to pick up the red phone at 3 am.  If she's too tired to get her facts straight at 9 am, then why in the hell would I want her making life of death decisions for this country at 3 am?

Ladies and gentleman, this issue right here is what destroyed Senator Clinton's campaign.  There's no way she can recover from this.  Every time her or her husband tries to rationalize and justify it, it only exacerbates the situation.  Obama can get through the pastor controversy, but Clinton won't get past Bosnia.  If the earth shifted it's magnetic field, hell froze over, and she won the nomination, she'd be a sitting duck for John McCain. 

Apparently Senator Clinton has been caught in yet another lie.  This time it was regarding her 1996 goodwill trip to Bosnia.  The video begins with her claiming dubiously that if a place was too small or too dangerous, they wouldn't send the president but instead the first lady.  OH MY GOD HOW DO OUR FIRST LADIES EVER SURVIVE!!!?!?!?!?!one!!!1!111  Not only is this policy claim ridiculous, it also apparently applies to the president's teenage daughter as well, as young Chelsea Clinton traveled and arrived in Bosnia WITH her mother.

Senator Clinton continues to describe that they landed among sniper fire (the plane wouldn't have been allowed to land at all if that were true), and that there was no greeting ceremony, instead they had to run with their heads down to the vehicles.  the video playing along with this speech shows a different story.  Aside from the fact that it's hardly likely the president would even allow not only the first lady, but his teenage daughter to go on such a "dangerous mission," the video shows a completely different story.  There was no sniper fire, but instead handshakes and smiles during the greeting ceremony Clinton claims never took place.

So what does this mean?  Normally, we expect a little embellishment from our politicians.  This campaign is a job interview, and who hasn't spiced up the language in a resume every so often?  You'd be hard-pressed to look through history and find one elected official who never did so.  What Senator Clinton has engaged in is far more than some innocent resume-padding.  She is giving herself the title of diplomat where none is deserved, unless we lower our standards and appoint Chelsea Clinton, Sinbad and Sheryl Crow to that office as well.  It would be like putting "led a money-saving initiative during a major financial crisis and saved the company $500,000" when all you really did was take minutes at a middle-management staff meeting deciding which 9 people to lay off.

She's lying so much, I have a feeling that Hillary Clinton is going to be the next Chuck Norris, except probably much less funny and far more tragic.

I'm fully convinced that Hillary Clinton wants us all to vote for John McCain.  Recently in various interviews, Clinton and her top aides have claimed that she was always a critic of the now-unpopular North American Free Trade Agreement.  The agreement put an end to the vast majority of tariffs and fees incurred from transporting goods across the borders of Mexico, the US, and Canada.  Opponents predicted that NAFTA would lead to American jobs going to Mexico, as companies would take advantage of the cheap labor.  Obviously, the opponents were right.

When given the choice between ethical behavior and increasing profit, a corporation will choose profits every time.  That answer is a no-brainer.  Corporations are, in fact, legally obligated to not just maintain, but increase profits.  Hindsight being 20-20, everyone pretty much agrees that NAFTA was a phenomenally stupid idea.  It broke the principles of "Reaganomics" because corporations began using their welfare money to create wealth elsewhere.  But that's not the issue here.

The issue is Clinton's dubious claim that she was an opponent of the agreement "from the very beginning."  It takes a special kind of liar to say something that contradicts an easily-accessible mountain of evidence to the contrary.  Hillary Clinton is a liar, officially, but just what kind of a liar tells lies when she undoubtedly knows she will be exposed by the journalists who covered her support of NAFTA just 15 years ago?  There are only two possible answers:

1.  Hillary Clinton has nothing but contempt for the American people, and feels she can lie right to their faces without consequences.  Such a notion would make sense.  She did sit on the board of Wal-Mart, engaging in union-busting behavior.  Clinton seems to believe that her words can smooth over any past indiscretion, just like her husband believed.  She has tried to smooth-over her initial support of the Iraq War and now her support of NAFTA, but the facts just don't lie.  The sad thing is, people are still falling for it.

2.  Hillary Clinton is a pathological liar.  This physiological explanation also explains quite a bit.  Pathological liars do not lie in order to get out of trouble.  They lie because they can't help it, even when the truth is apparent.  This would be consistent with Senator Clinton's recent statements.

This is the exact kind of behavior that gets Republicans stirred up.  We have had decades of dishonesty in the White House, and now it is obvious that a Clinton White House will only serve to continue this dishonesty.  If she wins the party, I will still vote for her, but only because she is George W. Bush 1.5 and John McCain is George W. Bush 2.0.

Nothing more need be said,

It's all been said before.

What if it's true, all that we've read;

the pain, the cross and more.

If Jesus was never scarred,

There's nothing we have lost,

But if it's true, and we disregard,

Can we afford the awful cost?
