President almost shoed to death?
President Bush was assaulted with not one but two shoes at a press conference in Iraq this week. A reporter was allegedly so angry with the President that he felt the urge to launch his shoes through the conference - one of which actually hit W.
While I would never consider myself a George Bush supporter (in the least), I felt sort of bad for him. He's made a lot of mistakes and I don't know if I, or the world, will ever forgive him for the shit-show that he's presented us with. But, the man probably couldn't even go for a walk with his dogs without being harassed in some fashion. I feel like he's going to crawl into a hole on January 20, 2009 and stay there for a very long time.
Scary thought: what if the man had thrown something other than a shoe? It's kind of unsettling to think that some random reporter was able to successfully hit the President of The United States with something. I think my history class is turning me into a crazy person - assasination crazed. In any case, I hope that man's shoe was smelly.

I read this today
I think it pretty much sums up the bitterness of gay people in America right now. Check it out:

OBAMA ELECTED PRESIDENT
Oh my god. I'm still in shock. Barack Obama has just been elected President of the United States. I cannot articulate how happy I am right now. It's crazy to think that our country has come so far. We are living history at this very moment.
God Bless the United States of America.
God Bless the United States of America.

Thoughts on Homecoming
So, this week has been pretty tough because of Homecoming and the fact that I was not selected to be on Court. However, after a few long weeks of being depressed about it and a very tough Homecoming Week, I have come to the conclusion that I do not need to be on Court to feel good about all that I've done at Ohio State. Moreover, while I may not have been selected as an official representative of the University, I know that the system is flawed and, more importantly, I represent Ohio State everyday in the work I do.
I am truly happy that I have been granted the opportunity to have such great friends and mentors. Sphinx has been amazing and will continue to serve as a meaningful capstone experience to my 4 years at OSU. Being around so many Sphinxers and other great friends made me realize that that is what life is truly about: sharing our experiences with the ones we love. So simple, yet so overlooked.
