Recently I wrote "Losing My *^*$^&% Mind!" about how certain insanities in my head were starting to gain more influence. Well, it would seem that it was merely a wild flicker before the candle went out, a desperate push before their downfall. Insanity in my mind now has less control than it has had in over 2 years. I don't know exactly what caused this rather abrupt mental healing. All I know is that in the past 2 days, I've had only 2 (or maybe even less) 'memory attacks' that once came ...
Gahhhhh....My head...my head..... This is getting harder and harder to take. I am slowly being driven insane. And I don't know how to stop it. For you see, no outside influence is causing this drift to insanity. No, my mind is going crazy because of itself. Gah....the memories......Ever since that damned therapy, I can't get them out of my head. They just keep showing up, throwing me into violent twitching and constant headaches. And they haven't been going away. In fact, they are multi...
One night in November 2004, I joined this site. While filling out the sheet, I came to the question of what to name myself. And for some odd, inexplicable, strange reason, I named myself NJforever. And now, nearly 4 months later, I still don't know why I did it. I have never named myself this before, and the name had never come into my mind before. In fact, the only thing that the name has anything to do with any part of my thinking/life is that I live in New Jersey. For the most part, ...
If you happened to be watching NBC news today, you may have seen a video about reconstruction in Florida. If you happened to catch it, then you might have seen the short talk with the man who was on a comitee investigating. That man, Andrew Coburn, is no other than my Uncle Andy! It was so cool to see him on! Maybe it's a sign that my TV appearance is soon
Have you heard about this new Caller ID spoofing? Apparently, you can use it to send someone a call from anyone you want, from George W. Bush to Liza Minelli. Of course, they're not really getting a call from them, but that's what their caller ID will tell them. If you go on a special website, you can subscribe to the Caller ID spoofing, at varying rates per minute. Once subscribed, you can send a call to someone under the ID of anyone. What you do is type in the phone number of who you're...
Yesterday, I heard a rather comeplling argument for increasing the wealthy's refund. I've been thinking it over, and the more I think, the more it makes sense. And I've been thinking about enough to bring me very close to bolting my party on the issue. In fact, if I were to hear one more argument that I think makes sense, I probably will. Anyway, to the argument. In a discussion about it (not neccesarily with me, but I was hearing it), the person said this: The government should increase t...
We all probably know about the Bush tax plan; decrease taxes on the rich so they will purchase more/increase supply. Well, my family has benefitted from these tax cuts, and, if we are an example, I really don't see how this is working. As I said, I don't see how this plan is working. Though I am grateful for the tax cut, our spending hasn't really increased since Bush took office. Therefore, we're aren't "stimulating the economy" or anything. If we are an example, then this plan really isn...
Okay, this is my first time writing a Humor article.....most of my humor is witty and sarcastic responses, but that obviously doesn't work here. Anyway, I would just like you to be blunt and honest when you tell me it sucks. Now, you really can't deny the tensions between New York and New Jersey. New York has stepped up its "New Jersey smells" campaign and New Jersey has been flashing the cash even more lately. I have taken the liberty of naming these thinly veiled tensions "The Canada-Ame...

I truly and sincerely hate therapists. I'm sorry if any of you who read this are therapists, but I just cannot like them after what they did to me. It all started about 2 years ago. I was kind of sad that day, you know, stuff happened. Anyway, I jokingly said to a friend that I'd kill myself. In retrospect, probably shouldn't have said it, but I still say they overreacted. Next thing I know, I have to go to the hospital for a psycho-analysis. It got really downhill when I had to wait FO...
I recently came across a large amount of presidential quotes from every president. These are my 10 favorite. 1. "I do precisely what I think just and right." -Andrew Jackson Simple but powerful, Jackson sums up exactly what a president should do. 2. "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. " -Theodore Roosevelt You hear...
Recently (or was it recently? Ah well), I wrote Inside the mind of a Far-Lefter, a little look into what I was like when I was an extremist. Due to the overwhelming response (okay, overwhelming is a little too strong a term, but it's still my top-rated article) and at Toblerone's suggestion, here is the story of how I became an extremist and how that part of me eventually, and at one point inevitably, collapsed. Well, I haven't really been interested in politics that long. It all started s...
I can't take it anymore! Every single political article I look at here somehow becomes (if it isn't already) just Rightist/Leftist propaganda as to why the other party should be driven out of the country! I am being driven insane here! None of you can seem to grasp that people can have different opinions without being evil! So, here is a little briefing for you: People are allowed to support the president without blindly following him. People are allowed to disagree with the president w...
In my last article, I revealed that I am a former extremist. In fact, if you looked hard enough, you could find an extremist post or two from me. Fortunately, I was not too far gone, and reasonable thinking and this site pulled me back from the far left (and that is my debt to Joeuser). That brief time of being extremist will probably affect my opinion forever, and I will always feel sympathy for the ones still there. Maybe I can help them, just a little, by showing you what goes on up there...
Abortion. I think it is a tad, well, horrible. But I also think a woman has a right to choose. But one of my friends disagrees. He says it is utterly horrible, inhumane, and should be immediately outlawed. Now, hes allowed to have his own opinion. But what seems to happen is whenever I make a good point about one of his views, he launches into this huge rant about how Democrats want to kill babies. He hides behind the issue in nearly every discussion we have. And then when I try to say somet...
