I have no idea who Tucker Carlson is but after reading this, I have come to the conclusion that he is a fuckwit.

I haven't said anything about the death of Pope John Paul II yet. I thought I'd just put up this link.

And I'd like to say that, as an extremely lapsed Catholic, while he might still have carried around some sadly outdated ideals, I believe he was still one of the most progressive and humanitarian Popes ever to emerge from Vatican City.

I've refrained from talking about the US election (mostly 'cause I didn't want to get reamed for being a non-American, and having an opinion on the appointment of an influential world leader) until now.

The majority of the people on livejournal appear to be pro-Kerry (or, possibly more accurately, anti-Bush). Well, Bush won. Get over it. Your country has never been so galvanised to vote in an election before. Now it's time for you to take a more active role in politics. And, no, putting your shoes on and heading to the nearest polling station isn't the limit to being politically active.

I can't claim to be all that knowledgable on how national or state politics works - but there must be a way for you to become more involved in your government - petitions, providing support to your favoured political party, hell - even letter writing to your local governor.

Spouting venomous attacks on people who didn't vote the same way as you is futile, and, quite frankly, extremely disappointing.

If your not happy with the way things are stop whinging and start working at changing it.
