Insanity Rules!

In Tucson, Arizona -- Mom dies of heartbroken after identifying her dead son who was gunned in Iraq, courtesy of GW Bush's mistakes.

In Knoxville, Tenn -- Someone fired at Bush/Cheney's campaign office and shattered the windows.

In New York -- a 86 year old woman used her cane to whack the Republican woman who insisted to hold the Bush/Cheney sign in the apartment lobby. Why? The 86 year old woman said she does not want the politics to enter her building -- and the Republican lady does not live there -- she just came in to hold the sign.

I also learned something new about Dartmouth -- that so-called Republican conservative, Jack Ryan who resigned from running for Illinois Senate after the local newspaper zeroed in on his divorce with actress Jeri Ryan who accused him of pressuring her to perform sex in front of others at sex clubs. Jack Ryan graduated from Dartmouth. So did Theodor Geisel. Know who Geisel is? If not, shame on you.

Not only that, they had a senior survey on Dartmouth graduates last spring which was published in DAM (Dartmouth Alumni Magazine), 80 percent intends to vote for Kerry, 5 percent for Bush. One person wondered if the seniors were brainwashed by the professors who were anti-Bush? One biology professor suggested that the results of this survey reflected the "dissatisfication of scientists -- faculty and students -- with the widespread efforts by the Bush administration to undermine the scientific process underlying policy decisions. From global climate change and stem cell research to effects of snowmobiles in Yellowstone and research on sexually transmitted diseases, this administration twists science to match its own political agenda."

Well said, Stephen Jenkins.

Related to the election -- For your own thoughts, this quote was uttered by your favorite guy, Joseph Stalin.

"The people who cast the votes do not decide an election, the people who count the votes do."

Does this sounds familiar in Florida four years ago?

Mt. St. Helens

Since I was a kid, I enjoyed reading, watching and learning about volcanoes. I think it is just fantastic. Even if it kills, it also creates life. When I was a kid, there was a movie about Mt. St. Helens on HBO, my brother and I would watch it 1,854,722 times just to see the eruption. Just to see the eruption. No captions were available on that film. We were insane, though.

Mt. Rainier is overdue for an eruption. I do not understand why Mt. St. Helens has to erupt instead of that Rainier.

Yellowstone is the world's largest volcano -- yep, you got it right. It is! In fact, the national park is on the top of its massive dormant volcano. The last time, it erupted was 600,000 years ago -- its debris were found in the eastern part of Missouri!

Anyway, there is a blog about Mt. St. Helens. So cool.

Har har?

Check this out -- have fun reading this bizarre crap.

On other hand, I'm trying so hard to follow Ann Coulter's book. Somebody please tell her that there are conservative Democrats, there are liberal Republicans. Liberals do not conform to one party, for god's sake.

And as much as I support this country, I do not think we should force the students in schools to do the pledge of allegiance. It is so un-American to force others to do that.

And this morning, I saw Ann Coulter spewing her boring rhetoric rants about John Kerry. She said that John Kerry is the male version of Anna Nicole Smith. What? Well, I enjoyed watching her on her reality show two years ago -- I thought she was hilarious, opinionated and All-American girl. She was simply great!

Basically, that bitch needs to get a life. But again, so do I.

So Much For Your National Security

Chris, Shane and I left Hanover and drove down on Interstate 91. An odd thing happened, just before the intersection of 89 and 91 ... there was a line of cars slowing down in a straight line. I was sitting in the back -- I quickly pulled the seat belt on because I saw the police cars parking by the highway.

I was wrong. It was the United States Borders Patrol!! One officer asked Chris and Shane about something else -- and they answered. That officer then turned to look at me and started to speak to me. I gestured that I cannot hear. The officer nodded and motioned Chris to go.

Suddenly, Chris and Shane turned to look at me and said, "What did you say?"

I mentioned that I just told her that I'm deaf. Shane said, "The officer said you just answered her question!!"

I asked Shane, "What was the question?"

"She asked if you're American citizen?"

I was perplexed and told Shane, "But I just told her that I'm deaf. How can I answer that question?" Shane shrugged -- I asked why did they patrol on the interstate highway -- "Probably terrorism with election? I dunno."

So much for our national security.

Part 2 from Hanover!

See? The Mac computers are everywhere -- even in the lobby of Hanover Inn. Awesome.

Went to the D-GALA Cocktail Party. One drunkard woman came to us and asked us what "D-GALA" stands for.

Chris uttered, "Dartmouth - Gay And Lesbians Alumni" -- the woman flinched and said, "Oh, sweet God, I'm so proud of you all."

Chris broke into hysterical laughter. I met some interesting folks. One thing led to the other, we were invited to a fancy banquet -- like the ones you had at Kellogg Conference Center.

No dime was spared.

Now, we are taking Chris to bed -- because he is too fucked up to handle himself. Sigh.

I found out that Dartmouth College only has 4,500 students but I really liked this town. I'm truly impressed.

Off to loiter with ... I forgot his name. Fuck. He's cute and adorable as hell. Hope he'll like me. If not, c'est la vie.

Greetings from Hanover, New Hampshire

I swear there are Mac computers EVERYWHERE in this town -- you can find it in every corner of every Dartmouth building, literally!

Dartmouth College is beautiful. Hanover is tiny, college town with no fast food restaurants in sight. Connecticut River is right there down the hill. I also learned that Hanover is on the Appalachian Trail, it mentioned that it is 534 miles away from Mt. Katahdin in Maine.

The students here at Dartmouth, especially men, are gorgeous. I think the administration screened the obese or fatty people out before getting in this school -- I swear I hadn't seen a fat guy here. I may be the only person here who has a gut sticking out. I need to go to the Equinox with Benis immediately when I get back to Manhattan.

Hanover Inn is owned by Dartmouth College, it has a tunnel to another building which contains the student union as well as the cafeteria. Plenty of eye candy for me to enjoy.

I have few minutes left to blog and tell what I am doing in this town -- like I said, the Mac computers are EVERYWHERE!

Webster Hall, one of several libraries on the campus, has a huge collection of rare books. When I entered the Webster Hall, I saw a book shelves that goes about 4 stories high -- and right outside of the book shelves has a glass encased around it -- like a fortress to preserve the rare books. It was a sight to behold.

Visiting an Ivy league school like Dartmouth College is humbling experience, I must admit. It puts Gallaudet to shame as well as RIT. LOL.

I had a great massage this morning at the "Advanced Bodywork Institute of Vermont". I got a million knots everywhere in my body. I must admit that this was the first time I got a massage that does not come with sex.

We went to Quechee Gorge this morning -- wow. It is a beautiful sight. Tonight, we will go to the Cocktail Party and ... who knows what happens next?

Cheers,

Just Arrived

Update from Hanover, NH -- it is tiny town. Very nice. Just few seconds to tell what I think of this place.

I did not know that Hanover Inn is right across from Dartmouth College. In fact, right off the steps of Hanover Inn, there are assortments of bars that you'd find in any college-town.

And so far, I'm enjoying the sights of geeks and bullshit like that.

One thing that made me notice is that Dartmouth is pro-Mac. No place have I seen more Mac -- in fact, I hadn't seen any Windows around.

And the library is quite impressive. Will discuss more about it later -- !

All in all, Hanover seems to be a town for people who has money. Ahh!

But that's OK with me. Gotta go -- and hit the bars with Chris & Shane.

Cheers,
