Quiz Night!

So anyways, I will be leaving the downward spiraling world of International Blogotics and tell you all about my Quiz Night!

Yes it is tonight! the high point on the Eastwood High School social calendar (right underneath the Night Out's, the Gig's, and Mandatory Blood Test Day) so our once strong and versatile team that consisted of Mr D. (aka Aileen), Mr A. (aka Ally) Kim and Agie (aka Jill and Angela) and myself (aka THE POOF!) have now been reduced to just myself, Aileen and Jill, Ally if she can get her ass in gear, but she tends to be 'sick' whenever something remotley un-fun pops up. i.e., my ex-boyfriend Barry, (aka Bagina, coz he is) when his show came up (he calls himself an actor) myslef, claire and ally were all doled up to go, waiting to meet at the train station, when alison decides she is ill. But nevermind, after a frantic wild goose chase through Glasgow, we found the theatre, and Claire had a great time screaming abuse at the performers, audience, ushers, chairs, and anyone in the general vicinty.

So anyways, Quiz Night starts at 7.30, and should be a good laugh. Our team name be the actual best on ever to be heard. since our members all smoke, I came up with the name The Black Lung Brigade, good or what!? It put a smile on the face of Mr McCormick anywho, the organiser and possibly the greatest Biology teacher in the Northern Hemisphere?

So anyways, I belive the questions will be on entertainment, not politics or international issues, which is why the TV is tuned to Neighbours, and not the News.

So anyways... Ally is very excitebale at the moment. her boyfreind Matty will be coming up to Glasgow from Liverpool next week! its very exciting, i belive he is the only man in the Brittish Isles to be 6"4, and sport a Ginger Afro. Very amusing. he is such a really nice guy though. Ally spends hours on the phone to him, talking in a very sensual manner (dirty girl) and god knows what he does on webcam ( i have been informed, however, that he is hung like a tyrranosaurus) He was quite stoned the day when Myslef and Ally were texting him during History. I would much rather hear a stoned liverpudlian than have to hear one more time about how blooduy King Richard and Philip Augustus had it off with each other! But if Richard Lionheart did prefer men to women, as the books say, does that mean he was the first gay character ever to be portrayed in a Disney Movie? I am of course thinking of the sublime, yet subtle magic of Walt Disneys Robin Hood. After doing my History Extended Essay on King John though, I now wish, as Aileen suggested, that I state in my essay that "King John was a lion, who ruled England from 1199 to 1216. His chief minister was a rather scheming snake called Hiss, and his arch-nemesis was a crafty fox by the name of Robin Hood." However, as open to new ideas as the SQA are (laughs pompousley) i decided against it, and instead wrote 2,500 words on whats was meant to be a disection of the ideas od the Community of the Realm and Magna Carta, but failed miserabley on both counts.


So anyways, its 1hour, 15 minutes till my Quiz Night, so i best be off, and if i'm not still spiting out Trivia by the time i return, i may detail the events, till then, in the words of Mahatma Ghandi, "Have it up, Have it off, Have it often"

Terry Schiavo

Everyone is talking about Terry Schiavo, the poor woman who is, and has been for fifteen years, a vegetable 'living' in Florida. I think its been her thirteenth day without food or water, and I just hope it is over soon. This woman cannot FEEL a thing. She is as good as brain dead. Christians and other nuts have been fannying around outside her hospital for days and days, some were talking about rushing in and actually reeinserting her tube themselves, cause yeah, thats what we want, people who take their cues from the BIBLE deciding who suffers and who doesnt. These are the people that cheer and rejoice at executions for people who, many times, do not get the chance for a fair trial. These are the people that were FOR the execution of minors that was thankfully, eventually outlawed by the supreme court.

Terry aint gonna get any better. the Christian nuts actually believe there will be a miracle to save this woman. To me, religion has NOTHING to do with medical science, and medical science is saying that she will not get better. I can sympathise with the family of Terry, they have lost their daughter. they have LOST their daughter. it must be hard seeing her in this state for so long, without any hope, and when people have no hope, they turn to these crazy ideas that the church pumps out. Grieving for a lost one is hard, but the way to grieve does not include shoving her tube back in and out of her every five minutes. Her husband is her next of kin, and fifteen years ago, when this chemical imbalance tragically caused her to become a vegetable, he should have told them, and made damn sure she was aloud to die in peace! It should not be the right of the courts, or the right of Jeb Bush to decide who lives and dies. I was really shocked, along with a few educated Republicans, that Congress and bush had decided to stick their already blood soaked fingers into this. I know Irony doesnt go down well in the US, but for cryin out loud! Republicans taking up this case in Congress? The hill is for national issues, federal concerns! and I hate to think of what any man who put his name to that Constitution would think about this, that the federal government had the right to intervene so specificaly, on the right to die in peace of this one woman. I would think that haveing your food and water removed and put back in at the whim if a politician would constitute cruel and unusual punnishment.

Christians and other so called 'right-to-live' people (there the ones who support the death penalty for adulterers) claim that liberal-minded people just jump up and shout about letting her die, that they actually want to kill her. They blame and piss on science or medicine at any available time, yet the only thing keeping this woman alive is medical science that can artificially prolong the life of someone who should be dead. Terry is already dead, in that she has no life. and Christians want to prolong this suffering of a woman who is dead. leave them to rest in peace. If this world is so bad and evil, why do they want to keep her alive. Leave Terry to die in dignity, and Christians, go back to shouting down Gays and Feminists, we are smart enough to know when you talk shite, but leave this poor woman and her husband alone, and let the, and all of us, get on with our lives.

Hello World!

Hello World! This is my blog and ig you have come this far, you might aswell keep reading...(who writes this shite??) If you are easily offended by extreme nudity, violence or liberal ideas, then look away, NOW!

So hello there, my name, is not important, but you can call me Nick. I may mention a few peoples names here, so i ask for forgiveness. But the 3 people i will probably mention the most are D, C, and A. You may notice the name of this blog is Bushwhacker Liberal, and thats exactly what its about! So grab your bushes, whack them hard, and come on down to Uncle Nicks yard!!

What the UN needs

The UN, the thing which is ment to keep us from descending into another World War, needs a right kick up the arse, and do you know why? NO! not because of some Oil for Food 'scandal', which i think has been totaly overblown by FOX news, but because the US will not commit itslef to peace. It doesnt care what the rest of the world thinks, which is damn obvious from the Bush nuts and FOX dumbasses. "Who needs the rest of the world? Were America" or words to such effec6t which I am postitve Bush says to Condi Rice. America didnt give a shit about the UN, mainting peace, or WMD's which we all know now. But i think we need a right overhaul of how the UN works, and how other democracys in the world relate to each other,

I think the UN should set up a new Institution, the United Nations Orginization for Democratic Advancement, UNODA, which comprises of all the proper Democracys in the world, i.e. not just free and fair elections, but treaty obligiations, human rights, and free press etc. So it would basically comprise of the US, Canada, the 25 members of the EU, Switzerland and Norway if they wanted, Iceland, South Africa, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Brazil and India maybe; but basically if you are considered a Democracy, then you should be in UNODA. Now the members of UNODA should have like special trading privelages between each other, exchange of technologies etc. And they should have complete arms embargoes on all countries not in UNODA, plus a varying degree or diplomatic and economic sanctions on non-members. Because I dont think there are any privelages, apart from being a functioning western democracy, and having freedom for your population, for these countries that want to be accepted in the World Community, but still want to keep their tyrannical way of life. Saudi Arabia, Im looking at you. And it would give a great enticement for more Rose, Orange and Tulip Revolutions in Georgia, Ukraine and Krygyzstan respectivley. It would be such a brillaint reward for these countries that overthrow their oppressors, and as soon as they hold new elections, which are free and fair, which Georgia did, the Ukraine did last November, and Krygyzstan will in June, they would be accpeted into UNODA, and immediatley have all these new trading rights and a voice in the world. For a country to be admited, the members would have to vote, but if they filled all the requirements, I dont see why they wouldnt be admitted.

Now how would this work for the UN, more specifically, the Security Council. Currently we have the Five permanent members, plus ten elected countries, but Kofi Annan has put that under review. Frankly I find it offensive that Bastards such as Mugabe and other facists in Saudi and North Korea etc, could get a say in huge world events that need to be discussed in the Security Council. They should no way be any way, say or how that they should get a seat at the World table when they treat their citizens like that. Fucking unbelievable! anyway, i think the Security Council should be comprised of 10 permanent members, adding Brazil, Germany, Japan, South Africa and India, but with no new vetoes, and another 15 members, elected on renewable four year terms by the General Assembly, but only countries that are members of UNODA should be
elegible for this election, dont you agree? then youve got a situation where countries activley wanting to become democracies and trying to become members of UNODA so they get could get a seat at the Security Council, as well as economic privelages and being able to purchase weapons and that.

And to give the council teeth, which it so sorley needs, i would say that any nation that uses millitary action, (America and Britain!!) or contravenes UNODA rules, such as dealing with the really awful countries or trading in arms to non UNODA members, without the express consent of the Securtiy Council, would be suspended from UNODA, and the Security Council.
Anything has gotta be better than what is here now. Darfur has been in crisis for years, millions are suffering and over 300,000 people have been butchered and the World, specifically the UN, as the US has already called it Genocide, and nothing has been done. the worlds biggest living shite Robert Mugabe is still ruining Zimbabwe, tomorrow they go for an 'election' whcih if they dont vote for ZANU PF they starve, he is still there! get the Security Council to issue and International arrest warrant for him!!! and lets start taking action!
