yeah…I need to sleep soon

There’s a bit of dialogue in TWW when Bruno comes in to help Bartlet get re-elected and he talks about Democrats cowering in the face of the opposition. I’ve always been frustrated when I see debates about gun control, regardless of the parties to which those discussing the issues align themselves, because those in favour seem to cower and make the weak arguments rather than the strong ones, that gun ownership has ramifications for international security as well as the safety of individuals.

And god it all just makes me so sad. Mexico wasn’t anything like this when I was growing up and the cartels make me angry and the fact that their market is the same as their gun supplier. Anyway, I made a video about it because I was bored of watching videos of people just being happy about it all. I know he’s not my president but I really want him to lead on this issue and properly fight for it. For Mexico, for Latin America as a whole and also for the U.S.

The audio of this has been popping up on my dash every other page today: thought you guys should see the original video if you haven’t already & also just wanted to do that sourcing thing.

Isn’t it like U.S. Voting Registration Doing Day today? If it is and even if it isn’t, watch this video guy and share it with your friends on Facebook and stuff who might not be subscribed to YouTubers and instead use the internet for something to do with pandas. Hank does the sense making thing.

Also for those of you who aren’t U.S. residents, have you registered for the electoral roll in your area yet? I am in the process of doing so (I just moved) so you should too. Hurray!

POTUS Barack Obama, Redditing/trolling.

The First Family took in an exhibition game between the U.S. and Brazil men’s basketball teams in Washington, D.C. Monday evening.  Above, Michelle Obama reacts to seeing herself and POTUS on the “Kiss Cam” at Verizon Center — before the two decide to smooch for the masses.

More amazingly, perhaps, Brazil — up by as many as 10 points during the match — was only down by 7 points in the 4th quarter.  The U.S. eventually won the pre-Olympics warmup, 80-69.
