Politics, Aside.

Obviously, this blog is intended for simple musings and lighthearted fun. I don't want to make political statements that would divide people and take sides. I'm not trying to upset anyone, or degrade their views and beliefs, and I would certainly hate if someone didn't read all the other nonsense I am likely to post, just because I don't share their political ideology.

It is because of that, that I wouldn't want to say... that a Burlington Coat Factory, two blocks away from Ground Zero, is hardly hallowed ground.

I wouldn't want to say... claiming that building an Islamic Cultural Center two blocks away from Ground Zero would empower the terrorists, is ridiculous, if only because we have no idea what terrorists are thinking, seeing as we haven't been able to catch them in 9 years.

I wouldn't want to say... that there are plans to build a pool in the Islamic Cultural Center, clearly not for families and children to enjoy each others company in a safe place, but obviously so that terrorist can train at the pool facility in preparation for their amphibious assault on the United States.

I wouldn't want to point out... that Laura Ingraham had no problem with the Mosque building back in December 2009, of course I understand that she doesn't speak solely for the Right... she also speaks for President Obama.

I wouldn't want to mention... that we are full swing into campaign season and support for a "Ground Zero Mosque" doesn't look so good when spewing out of the mouths of fear mongering political commentators.

I wouldn't want to show you this... because you might actually see the massive hypocrisy that exists in the "fair and balanced" news.

I wouldn't want to point out... that 18% of Americans now believe President Obama is Muslim and 30% believe he is non-Christian, even though he wrote a pretty good book describing the role of Christian faith in his life. On that point, why would it matter if the President were Muslim? Glenn Beck is a Mormon, lots of people watch him.

I wouldn't want to make insulting remarks like... I guess you can't expect sheep to eat anything other than what you feed them.

I would hate to point out... that you can not claim to want to restore the "original principles of the US Constitution", and attack religious freedom is the same breath. How does a party that claims to be pro-Constitution, misrepresent the first, second, fourth, fifth and sixth amendments to it?

So I won't.

Thats why my next blog is going to be...

"The 5 TV and Movie Characters I Want To Be... With."

5 TV and Movie Charcters I Want To Be.

Indiana Jones

Is there anything cooler than being a Professor, Archeologist and Adventurer? Yes, being all those things while wearing a leather jacket, a fedora (the only fedora that has ever looked good an anyone I'll add) and a whip. He gets to touch the rarest items in the world, but not only touch them, he got to pour water from the Holy Grail into his dying fathers bullet wound, saving his life. Yea. I'm down with that. And, on top of it all, you get to fight Nazis.

Harry Potter

Savior of good. Famous and Infamous. I'm not really a huge fan of being the center of attention, but I'll take it if it means I get to cast ridiculous spells on people. He comes with excellent friends, an amazing mentor, and a life filled with intrigue. Plus hanging out with Hermione Granger would be good for my cred.

Josiah Bartlet

I don't think I will ever lose interest in working in DC or, even better, in the White House. So naturally, being President would fulfill those desires. But, Jed Bartlet is so much more than a President. He is a Nobel Prize winner in Economics, a father, a husband, an MS sufferer... well, that blows, but it adds to his gravitas. I'm pretty sure he is the best President we never had.

Wall-E

Being a lonely, old, trash compactor doesn't sound awesome. Being a hopeless romantic who gets the girl... brilliant. He wanted something, and he literally went to the ends of the earth to get her. I want to be Wall-E. 

Marty McFly

Find me one person who wouldn't want their best friend to be a crazy, outcast scientist who converts a DeLorean into a time machine, which you accidentally use to travel to the 1950's, while trying to escape the Libyans that are out to kill you for stealing their plutonium. Then using that opportunity to alter the past to change your life for the better. Plus he plays a mean guitar and rides on a hoverboard, just not on water... unless you got power.

Blogging Is Hard.

I cleverly named my blog The Ramble. See, my name is Michael MeRAMBLE, so, its basically meant to be. However, trying to get the blog address I wanted proved to be difficult.

theramble.blogspot.com was taken. Last post: March 29, 2003. Blogger: Susana in Alabama. She loves orange. Total posts: 6. She is fascinated by crime... creeper. That should be my blog, stupid Susana.

ramble.blogspot.com was taken. Last Post: February 3, 2009. FebRUARY is how its pronounced by the way. Try it. Sounds odd. Blogger: Darin Hawley. He posted absolute nonsense. No one cares that you got a new Wii Sensor Bar, Darin. I know this because no one commented, also, its not interesting. Total posts: 16. That should be my blog, dumb Darin.

ramblings.blogspot.com was taken. Last post: November 27, 2000. Blogger: Megan. In November 2000, America still didn't know who the next President was going to be. One of the most historic Presidential election moments ever. What did Megan post?

"alrighty. now i've got this thing working. i sprained my ankle yesterday and my mom wouldn't let me go to school, therefore i have lots of time to work on something like this. entertaining, no?"

No, Megan. Go to school, its just an ankle, its not even broken. Total posts: 1. That should be my blog, misguided Megan.

aramble.blogspot.com was taken. Last post: August 4, 2006. Blogger: Sarah-Marie. Sarah-Marie was traveling through Europe. Thats fairly interesting and acceptable to blog about, and her blog stops after she gets back. Instead of "aramble" maybe you should have gone for "ramblingabroad". Just saying Sarah-Marie, just saying. Or, ever heard of Facebook? Myspace? Total posts: 5. That should be my blog, simple minded Sarah-Marie. 

At this point I decided to go for something less kitschy. 

meramble.blogspot.com was taken. Last post: December 3, 2004. Blogger: Nobody You Care About. He/She titled their blog: Ramblings from me. I should have known better than to think meramble was a sure thing. Its mostly a blog of news articles, apparently in 2004, a law was passed that allowed people to get free credit reports. So I guess all those annoying commercials are congress' fault. Thanks congress. Total Posts: 4. That should be my blog, narcissist Nobody.
