I’m fan of the fight-till-your-last-breath principle.
However, in case of Jean Bertrand Aristide, just give up dude. There is no point of trying to stay in power when the whole population hates you.
Right now, the rebels are within 25 miles of Port-Au-Prince and somehow, I think I’ve heard Port-Au-Prince in the news years ago with Aristide leading the then-rebel.
Karma perhaps? Wow, it sure does come swift!
After persistent rumor, the real deal has finally come. Ralph Nader has announced that he will go for another shot at the presidency. On the other hand, the liberals’ jaw dropped in disbelief and I do not wonder at all. Though Nader is admirable, supporting Nader would possibly mean the liberal would lose some vote, which means another four years of Bush, which directly means another four years of environmental laws deterioration.
Therefore, I assert all greens, despite you would obviously support Nader, vote for the democrats!
A liberal President would be our only hope.
So, go Edwards! If Edwards fails, go Kerry! If Kerry fails, then go Nader! If all fail, well, let’s hope Bush won’t kill us all.
I saw this one on Yahoo! Message Board regarding Harry Truman.
LOOKING BACK 60 YEARS……

2 recommendations…..it seems so strange that an ordinary man. a man who ran a clothing store in Missouri, could not only become President of the United States, but one of the great ones at that.
While he was picked as a VP for FDRs last term because he was considered “safe” and not particularly troublesome, he took the mantle of responsibilty when FDR died and then was elected in his own right against the Republican candidate everyone thought was going to win – Tom Dewey of New York.
We have lost a great deal in the last half century – how impossible it seems for any “ordinary” man to be President…now we will have a choice of one rich guy who went to Yale and lives in Texas vs. one rich guy who went to Yale and lives in Massachusetts.
How sad……
I’ve made a few changes to the template for the past few weeks.
Guestbook is dumped in favor of the comment system.
Site feed is now available for those who actually asked for this site feed. More to come during the spring break.
Added the New York Times into the Propaganda section simply because I’ve been enjoying reading its dead tree edition.
Removed the Straits Times because I think it is one of the worst publications I have ever read.
Added a few prominents Malaysian bloggers, namely Jeffooi’s Screenshots and Aizuddion’s VOI. Others newly added are Lone, EconoPundit and a tree hugger site.
Also a happening Annarbour blog other than the notorious AAIO, Seat of the Revolution.
Well, back to the real world. L8r.
p/s – from the wired world.

Freedom eh?
