Endorsement for the Second Round Afghan Presidential Election

On Saturday 7 November, Juche 98, the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan will hold its second round presidential election. The first round, was held in August. The first round, was marred with revolutionary acts, which the Taliban claimed responsibility, and vote fraud. Incumbent president Hamid Karzai won the first round with 48% of the vote. Karzai originally had 54%, however several false ballots were discovered. Main challenger, Abdullah Abdullah, also had some false votes. Since the official results have determined that no candidate received more than 50% of the votes, a second round must be held. In these elections I am supporting current President Hamid Karzai. I'm supporting Karzai because Abdullah, has recently announced he may withdraw. Abdullah bitched the most about vote fraud, and now he is threatening to withdraw. This strategy never works, nor will it ever. By backing out of the election or boycotting it, you loose all credibility. If you don't back out of the election, you have the chance to win, and if vote fraud occurs you can truely revolutionise the nation. I considered supporting Abdullah, until he threatened to back out of the election. I do not support either candidate. In the first round of the elections I endorsed Member of the Loya Jirgah, Shalha Atta, who wanted to re-indtroduce former policies of President Lt.-Gen. Sardar Dost Mohammed Khan (Pr. 1972-1978). Under Khan's policies, Afghanistan flourished.

Endorsement for the New York City Mayoral Election

On Tuesday 3 November, Juche 98, New York City will hold its mayoral election. In this election, for the first time since 2003, I will support a Green Party Candidate. I am supporting Reverend Billy Talen, an anti-corporation activist. I support many of the protests he has lead, such as in Disneyland, against Banks and Walmart. I do not, nor have I ever liked current incumbent Mike Bloomberg. I have nothing against him personally, however I feel many of his ideas are utterly stupid. The two which come to mind are putting toll booths in downtown Manhattan and also putting windmills on top of the New York City buildings. If the windmill motion was approved, I believe that is the worst crime upon humanity since the construction of the Aswan dam, which destroyed the ruins of Abu Simbel. I would have been sympathetic to Bill Thompson, because he has done some good things for New York City and was promoted by former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, however Obama's recent endorsement has caused me to withdraw all support. If Obama supports the candidate, it is obviously the worst possible candidate. Obama's an idiot, and has no business medeling in either U.S., International or New York's affairs. Fuck Obama. The other third party candidates are weak, and would not be able to control the city.

Endorsement for the Town of Huntington Local Elections

On Tuesday 3 November, Juche 98, the Town of Huntington, New York will be holding local elections for the town council, supervisor, suffolk county legislature, various judges, sherriffs, and will hold a referenda on two issues. For the town council, I will likely vote for the Conservative Party and/or Working Families Party. I will only endorse the Working Family's Party if their candidate is not endorsed or a member of the Democratic Party. For town supervisor, for the first time in my life, I will not support incumbent Frank Petrone. Although I do know him, and like him, I believe it is time for change. I am also upset that I have heard rumours that he spends most of the year in Florida, switched to the Democratic Party, and also removed Oliver Cromwell's Family seal from the Town Coat of Arms. The anti-Cromwell move is the main reason, as to why I no longer support Petrone. For the Suffolk County Legislature, I will vote for myself. Out of all positions being selected on Tuesday, I think the only position I would want is Suffolk County Legislator. I will be running against Frank Stalzer of the Republican Party and incumbent Jon Cooper of the Democratic Party. I feel that I could do the best job for my district.
There will be two referendums. The first is to expand forrests in Saint Lawrence County. The State of New York will increase conservation by 10 acres. I will vote yes to support this ammendment. The other, if voted for will allow prisoners to work for non-profit organisations. I vehemently oppose this new law. I believe that maintaining prisoners is a waste of tax payer money, and that I more traditional form of punishment should be used. I also believe that if you are in prison, you have no rights.

Endorsement for the Mozambican Presidential Elections

Tomorrow, 28 Oktober, Juche 98, the Republic of Mozambique will be holding presidential and parliamentary elections. In the presidential elections, I will be endorsing current president, Armando Guebuza. I believe he has expanded infrastructure throughout Mozambique and made major international economic deals which will help improve Mozambique's economy. I also like how he participated in the FRELIMO Politburo goverment of 1986, following the tragic death of President Samora Machel. I am disappointed however that he has abandoned Marxism-Leninism, which was his former ideology. I am also displeased that he did not win the African Leadership Award. Although nobody won the award this year, I was hoping Mozambique would show democratic leadership following Joachim Chissano, who received the award 2 years ago. I will not suport Afonso Dhlakama because, I oppose RENAMO, especially on their stance with Zimbabwe and its president Robert Mugabe. Another major candidate Daviz Simango is running in the election. He does not get my support because he was born in Tanzania and is a Protestant. Those to issues are certainly not Mozambican, and therefore wrong for the country. I oppose the spread of protestantism in Mozambique.
In the parliamentary elections, I will support FRELIMO, or the Liberation Front of Mozambique. Although I am dissatisfied that the party has abandoned traditional Marxism-Leninism, the party has done great things to improve Mozambique.

Broadway Actor, Joseph Wiseman Dies

Today 21 Oktober, Juche 98, the Canadian Actor, Joseph Wiseman died. He was 91 years old. M. Wiseman was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and had been suffering from ill health for many years. We all know M. Wiseman as the villanous Dr. No, from the first James Bond movie. Wiseman, did not want this to be his legacy and I will honour that wish. Wiseman had appeared in many broadway productions along with films and tv series. He even appeared in an episode of Law and Order. M. Wiseman wanted to be remembered as a broadway or stage actor as opposed to Dr. No. I believe the media should honour his wish, and instead of referring to him as Dr. No, any obituary should Read, "Joseph Wiseman, broadway actor, who also played Dr. No has died." Although now many people are unlikely to know who M. Wiseman is, his epithet should be what he wanted it to be.
