26 Feb 2007 | I confess!
One day in a distant time and age, Joseph Stalin, dictator of the Soviet Union, was greatly agitated when he discovered that his pack of cigars had gone missing. He immediately contacted the head of the KGB and ordered him to locate the person who had stolen his cigars. The next day, Stalin opened one of the drawers in his desk and — wonder of wonders! found his missing pack of cigars inside. He phoned the head of the KGB and told him to call off the search, and that he had realized that he’d misplaced them in a drawer in his study. Then the KGB officer said, “Uhhh, too late, sir, three people have already confessed!”
Haha, just a Communist joke that my dear father imparted to me. If you didn’t understand it… just know that basically everyone accused of conspiracy or treason in that time had to “confess” even if they were innocent and had no knowledge of the crime.
Hmmm, I was just wondering… Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton? I’m bringing this up today because Obama just happened to visit a certain city in close proximity to our suburban town… they’re both excellent candidates, in my opinion. But I’m a bit torn between the two. Anyway, go Democrats 2008!

Haha. Shows the flaws of the communist system.
I haven’t heard of Barack Obama before. Perhaps it’s time for a complete change in leadership. Go Democrats…unless their candidate screws up the presidential debates of course.

I was thinking about Obama or the female Clinton as well. I think that both of them have their merits. I haven’t decided whom I like better.

We had a short discussion about that in government class. It seems like Obama has more going against him, but I heard that the main reason Hillary is senator is because of her weak(er) opponents. And her history in the White House could go both ways, probably. And I don’t know how people would react to a female president.
