Matt Damon was interviewed for some reason regarding the upcoming presidential elections. In the clip, we see Damon struggling with coming to grips that there’s a good chance if elected, Palin will have the opportunity to take of this country (you know, due to McCain being like OVER 9000 years old).

Although the dude is just an actor, he makes some valid points on the topic. The facts are that the woman has made serious attempts to ban books (see the full list after the jump) like The Grapes of Wrath, To Kill a Mocking Bird and Death of a Salesman. She is an active member of a community that believes in ‘praying away the gay‘. She’s in an active investigation from the state of Alaska for her misguided ethics. Her religious bias, along with John McCain, is going to be actively pursuing taking away abortion, o.t.c. birth control, women’s services, etc.
But fuck it, what do I know. I’m just some dickhead on the internet with an opinion who happens to write on this AWARD WINNING blog site.

I’ll just leave this here for you to read over…

Governor Palin has made a big splash onto the national stage, however her state investigation here in Alaska continues.

Back in late July the legislative council approved $100,000 to investigate Governor Palin’s potential abuse of power. Since, special investigator Steve Branchflower has been working methodically to bring to light the facts of a case that have only recently surfaced.

“The status of the investigation is that Steve Branchflower is taking statements right now from former members of the administration, and scheduling other appointments with other members of the administration, up to, and including Governor Palin to find out the facts of what happened,” said Senator Hollis French, who is in charge of the legislativeinvestigation of Palin.

Branchflower is looking into the events that led up to the firing of former public safety commissioner Walt Monegan. It is alleged that Monegan may have been fired for refusing to fire Alaska State Trooper Michael Wooten, who went through a messy divorce with Palin’s sister and is currently in the midst of a custody battle.

Regardless of Palin’s status as the vice presidential nominee, many are calling for the investigation’s continuance, “There is too much information to just erase it as a mistake,” said Senator Lyda Green, a Republican from Wasilla, “It needs to be followed through very diligently, very carefully.”

Although on the really cool side of things, we could be witnessing the first canidate to have to give her V.P. debates from a prison cell… that could be fun!

Meanwhile, where can I get these sw33t buttons?

McCain looks happy, doesn’t he?  Kinda looks like he needs to poop…

Say it ain’t so, Marvin!

Hall of Fame to be wide receiver of the Indianapolis Colts, Marvin Harrison, is under investigation after a shooting incident outside his North Philadelphia bar, Playmakers. Apparently there was an argument, followed by an altercation outside, shots were fired, and Harrison’s opponent was hit in the hand. Police have linked a gun to Harrison, but no charges have yet to be filed.

I just don’t want to picture Marvin Harrison as some sort of punk. He’s always been classy on the field, and I would like to keep that image in my head. We’ll see how it shakes out…

Proving there’s no such thing as bad press and that face and neck tattoos make for a killer mug shot, rapper Lil’ Wayne (born Dwayne Michael Carter) was arrested by border patrol at a US Border checkpoint on Interstate 8 in Dateland, AZ, on Tuesday night around 11:30 PM. Drug-sniffing dogs alerted officers that something might be afoot and Wayne’s bus, which was transporting 11 other people, was pulled aside for a consensual search.

Officers found:

Carter faces local possession charges (the feds passed on this one), and two other passengers are looking at narcotics charges. Wayne was released on bail, but has a court date set for Friday morning. In other news, his new album, The Carter III is due out in February.

I just got off the phone with a detective from the Chico PD. Apparently, they suspect somebody was murdered in my old house I lived in a few years back, by the train tracks…and by a bum bridge by the creek. It happened in my old room. Here:

They fished some poor woman out of the Sacramento River and suspect it was her boyfriend that did her in. They found blood stains “the size of a foot” in my old room, where they lived after me.

I keep my nose clean, so it’s really weird talking to a detective about a possible murder. I don’t think he thinks I did it. After I answered his questions, like when I lived there and if I had ever had an accident resulting in loss of blood in my room, we ended up talking about The Shield and The Raiders for a second. But it’s still weird talking to a detective, especially thinking that some young woman bought it in my room.

The detective had a sense of humor, and even suggested that I come up with a good story for my roommate when he asks me why the cops came by looking for me. If you have a good one, email it to editorial@synthesis.net.
