Ok, I just want to say that this guy was just a plain dumb ass. If you are coming back from a trip to see your "mistress" and are trying to be sneaky about it, DON'T FLY INTO A PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT!
Also, if this guy was a Democrat, how much do you want to bet that he would have been forced to resign his position already, especially if he did use state funds to visit her. Republicans are the party of "morals" so as long as they apologize its all ok. But if a Democrat (the liberal far left, communist, god hating, blah blah blah) does it, then he/she must resign immediately and barred from all other offices. GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK! Personally, I don't give a damn about what people do in private and their private lives, but when you use tax money wrongly to make it happen, then we have a problem.
The thing that really kills me is that apparently an interview of christian voters was done, and they said they would be willing to vote for him again ONLY if him and his wife stay married...WTF! Are they seriously more concerned over the "institution of marriage" that they don't give a damn he abused tax dollars? Not to mention they fact that a person's marital status should have NO BEARING on whether or not they are elected to office! Give me a single elected who never cheats over a married one who is doing it constantly anyday.
Not to mention the fact that, especially lately, more Republicans have "mistresses" than the Democrats have. Yes, I know that Democrats have "mistresses" too but they aren't the ones who have "I'm a Republican the only people with morals" tatooed to their foreheads!

Iranian Election
So I have been watching the Iranian election the last few days, and also the reaction to it.
First off, to all of those people who say that the President must take a stronger stand on the whole thing, I say shut it. An election is an entirely internal matter for any country. How would we like it if during the 2000 or 2004 Presidential election, other countries tried to get involved? How would we have reacted if France, Italy, Russia, England, etc had come out and said “the election is a fraud” or something similar? I have a feeling it would not have gone over too well. Just because we consider ourselves the “beacon of freedom” doesn’t mean that we have to comment on every single election that any other country has.
I applaud the President’s restraint in his comments about getting involved with the Iranian election in any way. I think people often forget that our interference in Iran is a big reason that Ahmadinejad was even given the opportunity to get into power in the first place. Getting involved in other countries’ elections can lead to very bad things and honestly should rarely, if ever, happen.
What we are seeing in Iran right now, is part of the evolution of becoming a democracy. The people there have had enough, and are finally starting to realize the power that they have. This is how revolutions begin. People get tired of being constantly under the leash and this is the result. We went through the exact same thing, as well as every other democracy in the world. It’s a slow process, and one that isn’t always neat and clean, cut and dry.
The best thing to do is to wait and see. Getting involved will only add fuel to tensions that already existed, especially given past involvement.

Absolutely Unacceptable!
Ok as most of you know, I'm very much for a woman's right to choose and for abortion to be a legal medical procedure. So call me biased if you want.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31029377/
This most recent murder of a doctor who performs abortions, is absolutely unacceptable! This is exactly the problem of constantly hammering the "abortion is murder" bull shit. Eventually some dumb ass is going to get it into his pea sized brain that "I'm going to do god's bidding and kill someone who does abortions and god will reward me for it."
I hope that when they catch the guy who did this they do the following: no plea deals, no insanity plea, and the death penalty. This is obviously premeditated murder and should be treated as such! If this guy gets off with just a life sentence it would be disgusting.
I have no problem with people feeling that abortion is wrong, but I do have a problem when you portray the person who does it, and the person who is getting the procedure, murderers. Its THEIR choice and THEY have to live with it, not you! For those who use the bible, and religion in general, as a platform to get abortion banned listen up. If god truly is the final judge in all matters then you have no reason to try and force people to not do something you don't agree with. If god is real, then we nonbelievers, sinners, blah blah blah, are screwed already so let us live our lives the way we want in peace and we will do the same for you. No one is grabbing your hands and forcing you into an abortion clinic, a bar, porn shop, or whatever so don't grab us and try to prevent us from going in.
