LEAP

I was sent this link a couple days ago and still haven’t had a lot of time to really go thru and read a lot of the site.  But for now I’ll leave you with the first paragraph from the About LEAP page:

"After nearly four decades of fueling the U.S. policy of a war on drugs with over half-a-trillion tax dollars and increasingly punitive policies, our confined population has quadrupled over a 20 years period making building prisons this nation’s fastest growing industry. More than 2.2 million of our citizens are currently incarcerated and every year we arrest an additional 1.6 million for nonviolent drug offenses‹more per capita than any country in the world. The United States has 4.6 percent of the population of the world but 22.5 percent of the world’s prisoners. Every year we choose to continue this war will cost U.S. taxpayers another 69 billion dollars. Despite all the lives we have destroyed and all the money so ill spent, today illicit drugs are cheaper, more potent, and far easier to get than they were 35 years ago at the beginning of the war on drugs. Meanwhile, people continue dying in our streets while drug barons and terrorists continue to grow richer than ever before. We would suggest that this scenario must be the very definition of a failed public policy. This madness must cease!"

let me know what you think!

my supreme court/your supreme court

this aint the type of thing i’d usually ever post here, but i’m making an exception tonite.  Below is cut and pasted from moveon.org.  The morkstriss’s 3rd favorite website (after myspace and then kidpurple.com!):

Subject: Rights at risk on the Supreme Court – time to speak out!

Hi, I just received an important message from MoveOn.org. Bush has caved to pressure from the far right and nominated Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. Alito is a notoriously radical judge who has attacked workers’ rights, womens’ rights and civil rights for years.

Please join me in signing the emergency petition to our Senators, asking them to stand up for us and block this nomination.

Thanks!

20 things about me

I’ve seen some people post 100 things about themselves on their website, just a list of small facts about them.  well my plan is to hopefully get 20 things about me, but from you.  either leave a comment here or send me and email, i’ll gather them all and post them when i get 20.  it can be good things or bad things, i don’t care.

halloween

this set of costumes won us one of the costume awards, and all 8 of us got to split a little bottle of hot sex. static-x and stevie wonder also won some award. mike and kelly won the best couple award, i wish i had more pictures…

in the tipsy cup tourney, team woody (junior, jonsey, and dangle) sucessfully defended their title from last year!!!!

impossible concerts

I was just thinking about concerts that would never happen but I’d really like to see.  The best one I’ve thought of is Cat Stevens opening for Rage Against The Machine and I mean RATM, none of this audioslave crap.

What impossible concert would you like to see?

this is weird, i am tired

kinda like some type of strange cartoon-ish reality show.  You probably wouldn’t beleive it if I told you and gave no link.

Fidel Castro, Diego Maradonna, and George Bush all star in this one.  I’d throw Carson Daily into this one to boost ratings a little, too many people won’t know who Maradonna is, and everyone else either hates Bush or hates Castro.  I’ve never met any of them but if I had to choose one to be my leader, it would definetly be the one that used to snort coke.  Oh, I guess thats not specific enough, I’d pick Maradonna!

PokerStars Sit’n'Go

Some people say that Elvis isn’t dead, or that Jim Morrison is still alive. Well i discovered something tonite at the poker table. I got into a cheap 2 table sit n’ go at pokerstars and made it down to the final 4 (cause i took 4th place). But check out the table and see who I got to play cards with! Someone that you thought wasn’t around anymore!
