America embarassed me again

A friend mentioned something the other day that I must readily agree with. How can America continuously badger other nations about not have fair elections or elections that do not show the will of the people when we have our own large and long-drawn out series of The most recent and obvious case of today would be Minnesota's election of their senator. How often have we basically pressured other countries to have elections, then hounded them to have the results quickly.
The American government often cries with the excuse that it wants equal rights for all and for all to have fair representation-in other countries but how about in its own nation? If we are that focused on fair and speedy representation of the people how in the world have we let it take over half a year for Alan Franken to gain the Minnesota senator's chair? This is an embarrassingly long time to have an election draw out. I am just glad that is now over, though its not like we have a still growing pile of problems in other areas we need to fix.

The Last Airbender Movie

I just saw a preview trailer for The Last Airbender. I did not know a movie was being made (or if I did know I have forgot since finding out). I am excited to see it, The Last Airbender was one of the few American cartoons that I can see appealing to adults and children. with an interesting storyline and developed characters.
I have seen it with Japanese animation which is why I think there is such a following of anime today among my friends. It goes back to people raised on comics and looking for a mature version to enjoy. I guess I should have expected the movie if I did not know about it, many comicbook based movies have been produced lately so I think the movie industry definitely sees the market out there.
In hope that the Airbender movie will not disappoint, and stand out as a great movie as the majority of caomicbook movies have done. If so maybe that will open the door for more great American animation. I look forward to 2010 to see.

More Quotes

Those who know me well know that I enjoy quotes. However I do not believe you should only look at the "great thinkers" for wise words. Therefore I decided to share a few of my own words with you. I will not say they are wise or brimming with knowledge but they at least give you insight on myself if not a different view of the world.

+"I have yet to be convinced that humans are the smartest animals."
+"If you are already late I doubt a dollar makes a difference."
+"As one who occasionally spouts nonsense, I have the unique ability to spot idiots and need to tell you something...."
+"I don't mind that you cursed at me but, I would appreciate if you used some style and originality."
+"An argument is a good conversation! If I only wanted to hear someone agree with me I would talk to myself...or a parrot. Actually probably a parrot, I argue with myself too."
+"I understand why you carry your belief, however I do not agree with the assumptions that lead you there."
+I almost bit off my tongue, trying not to argue."

Call out for Comicbook Help

I have not made it to the comic book store in a while someone help! Has anyone read:

Fusion- Avengers/Cyberforce/ only read issue one what happened?

Wolverine:Old Man Logan only read issue, what happened?

By the time I get to head back to the comicbook store I probably will not be able to find any of these so if there are any stray comicbook readers, wandering out in the online jungle who happen to stop by, help me out please.
