This post is gonna be largely about politics so if you're not interested or you can't comprehend, save yourself the trouble and go here.

hehe

McCain is leading Obama in the polls. This is just plain scary. i thought that at least now Americans would have realized that Republicans smear their way to election victories. they're doing it again and it's working! Hats off to the GOP though. At the end of the day it's winning that matters and they sure know how to do it. Their lies are well documented and yet the public is paying no real attention to it yet. The dynamics of the race started changing once Sarah Palin was selected.

Genius pick,i tell you. Once a woman is picked,any attack on her can immediately be framed as SEXIST!. She's a mother of five,youngest with Down's Syndrome,who hunts and does many other All-American things. Perfect appeal to women. This is even though she isn't strong on women's issues-she opposes abortion in all circumstances including rape. When people started asking how a mother of five could leave her duties to become v.p,they cried SEXIST! WOULD A MAN BE ASKED THE SAME QUESTION?! Of course not, dipsticks. Honestly,i think she should concentrate on being a mother. But i'm Asian and we think differently in this part of the world.

I was hoping this election would be of the 'new kind of politics' Obama promised. But you know,you can't win an election being nice. Now Obama is being slammed for not being 'above the fray'. haha i find this very funny. He was previously slammed for always taking the high road. Damned if u do,damned if u don't. Catch-22. Obama'd better win. I just wanna see a black guy as president, even though he has to try twice as hard. Racism still exists.Live with it.

Singapore's Paralympic team has won 3 medals so far and set one world record. I say give them equal benefits as able bodied athletes. And all of this was by LOCAL TALENT. I don't have anything against foreign talent,but i just feel much prouder if someone local wins. One thing struck me when i was watching Tao Li at the Olympics last month. Other than her enormous shoulders,i was wondering if she was allowed to take part in the national schools' championships. Apparently,she is! That's just so sad for the rest of them in her age group. Imagine training everyday for a year,and on competition day you're on the starting blocks visualising your race. Then you feel a bump,Tao Li's shoulders are extending to your lane!haha just kidding. but imagine how some swimmer who's trained so hard feels when she realises she's racing Tao Li in the fly.World No 5,Asian record holder Tao Li. They should like impose a 50 m handicap on her! even then it may be close.
