Hey party peopole!
I’m doing this thing that I think is really, really funny, and cool: I’m sponsoring the “Weblog of the Millennium” in the anti-bloggies!
See, in their rules, the antibloggies clearly state that I’m not even eligible, and since they’re anti-, and since WWDN recieved so many bloggies…I just thought it was very funny, and stuff for me to sponsor that category. So you should head on over and nominate some cool sites, that aren’t WWDN.
How about that Super Bowl? I missed most of it because I was working, but I’m so glad that New England won…way to go Underdogs!
I did get to see this one commercial, that said that if you use drugs, you’re supporting terrorism, which is nice, because I thought that giving 43 million dollars to the Taliban to kill opium poppies was supporting terrorism, but TV learned me good.
Speaking of Emperor Bush, how about that new budget? Yay! Defecit spending is back! We’re gonna party like it’s 1989! Pick up your Rubik’s Cube, and put some shoulder pads in your T-shirt!
I mean, I didn’t think Bush could do much better than declaring war on the entire world in his State of the Union address, or trying to sneak in another broadside against women’s rights to control their own bodies…but he totally went and did it! That crazy G.W…you never know what he’ll do next!
Darnit. I totally have to leave for work now, just as I was getting my sarcasm mojo workin’
I hope everyone has a great day.
Try this: hold a door open for a stranger today. It’s a nice thing to do 🙂

Dianetics, Junior, much better than Krishnah.
Dianetics, Junior, much better indeed.
I hate to have to say it, but sometimes, ya know, I really really enjoy being a Canadian!
I am so glad the Patriots won, at long last.
Gawd, don’tcha just love Georgie-boy? I listened with half an ear to the State of the Union address but had to leave the room because it was pissing me off. I heard about this scary new legislation that is seeking to classify a fetus as a legal ‘person’ supposedly so that low income pregnant women can get coverage under existing state programs. Thing is, they already can, it’s a ruse. Anyway, Bush is one sneaky bastard. Grrr, politics on Monday morning. Back to work.
Hmm…just watch some Twin Peaks
Wow, I have always wondered if the smart kid from “Trek” had as much of a brain in real life. I see that he does. I am pleased. I may not agree, but that is what makes this country great. Nuttin’ but love for ya Wil!!!!
Ever since he was elected (and even before), I never found anyone saying that GWB was the right guy for this job.
Who elected him, really ?
Tyranny grows best in the soil of fear. A lesson GW learned well (along with most other politicians.) Keep the sarcasm going WW.
I thought he was perfect.
Then I learned he was a Democrat.
I suppose I can stomach the Bush-bashing to continue gleaning bits of wisdom from the all-powerful sarcastic Hollywood creature that is Wil Wheaton.
Yay, finally, and it only took 42 years for the Patriots to do it…go figure…now…next on t he agenda, Red Sox winning a World Series *snort* or not…
Hmm…already held a door for someone, now what am I gonna do with the rest of my day…
another broadside against women’s rights to control their own bodies…
Will, don’t be a dick. Think of the BABY you American Loon.
Stari said: “I suppose I can stomach the Bush-bashing to continue gleaning bits of wisdom from the all-powerful sarcastic Hollywood creature that is Wil Wheaton.”
Oh, I think Dubya can take it.
Wil just is helping to represent the 14-or-so-percent that DON’T approve.
Yay, underdog.
And Xavier, in answer to your question about “who elected” him, the answer, definitively, is no one, since this term, the office was not decided by election. I’m trying not to be smart-assy about it, but there you go.
You wants to fight, you gots ta fight fair.
You muthafucka, ho.
You muthafucka, ho.
You KNOW what time it is.
Funny thing that, we saw that same commercial (drugs=terrorism) and wondered the same exact thing.
(Have you seen the new public service announcement that’s recently been airing in support of choice: “What could be more American than choice?” I think I sat unblinking, wondering if I could really be hearing what I was hearing. It was rather a happy moment.)
I wouldn’t call him a Democrat — a Libertarian, mebbe. 🙂
i love you Wil Wheaton, and i’m not gay.
TV, what’s that? It has been banned from my home, hubby and I just lost interest in it. We go to the, get this now, library. We have an antenna so we can get a total of 2 channels that we never bother to watch.
I didn’t vote for Bush, voted for Nader. I’m an old republican I guess when I think that women control their bodies by chosing what to do with them, but once they become pregnant, it isn’t just their body any longer. The woman made her choice. Abortion is not birth control. I am a little biased though because my husband and I can’t have children, and I can’t stand to think of babies being murdered when there are empty homes like mine.
*sighs*
Mixed emotions on this… I live in Texas. ( Waco on top of that ) I like Goerge for the most part, but I hate this war. I hate trying to explain to my kids whats going on. I hate the fact that I even have to.
By the way… what else do you do after you held the door open, say thanks to all that hold it for you 🙂
Amy
y’know, i can’t help but wonder… when are they going to make a sequel to ‘showgirls?’
in these new and uncertain times, i think we could all do with another dose of the verhoeven love.
and wil, i ::know:: you want that part.
get those tassels on, boy. there’s a tube of adhesive and a fresh set of pasties in the cupboard.
oh yeah.
and you too, dubya. i want you greased up and in sequins by oh-six-hundred.
“I’m hard. Why aren’t you?”
If we ever meet in real life, Hot Soup Girl (love that name), you have to ask me to do me Elizabeth Berkley impression for you.
Manda, I’m totally with you when you say abortion shouldn’t be used as birth control. Unfortunately, often times the same people who want to restrict abortion also want to restrict sex education and birth control.
Knowledge is power, man.
By the way, for those of you wanting to spark up the abortion debate, check out the soapbox area–there’s a really good discussion going on over there.
Ah the underdog… the mighty mighty underdog.
Never underestimate the power of their force.
Woot!
I ignored the state of the blah blah because I knew what those blah blahs would contain and I’m angry enough at the world to be the next Harlan Ellison.. I did my part for world peace ya know.
My powerful flu meds and Wil rock the house.

as a former fetus: “thank you mom”
Time to pull out the old parachute pants and dust off the MC Hammer album. I like how “W” is trying to use his personal popularity and transfer that to his agenda. “Wow, he’s doing such a good job defending America’s honor … maybe I was wrong about a woman having a choice.”
rob said ‘you have to ask me to do me Elizabeth Berkley impression for you.’
that’s almost worth flying 13,000 kilometres for.
as long as it involves thrashing about in a swimming pool exercising extraordinary abdominal strength.
oh, and not evolving as a character, no matter what events occur in the turgid plot that is your life.
that’s important.
keep an eye on that suitcase.
Manda, I’m wondering, if you beleive that after a woman becomes pregnant, it’s not just her body anymore, how do you feel about abortion when the woman’s life is in danger by carrying the pregnancy to full term? Do the fetus’ rights eclipse the woman’s rights? I think that’s where legislation that declares a fetus a person with legal rights could lead, expecially under the current administration. Just something to think about.

Dear Wil,
Why does your name only have one ‘l’? Thanks!
I was super thrilled with the Pats, particularly having two Michigan alumni like Tom Brady and Ty Law making major contributions!
To anyone who cares-name the last former Michigan Wolverine that was Super Bowl MVP.
Looks like Wil’s looking to pick a fight today 🙂
I held the door open for a stranger this morning without even reading WWDN. How’s THAT for great minds thinking alike? (and yes, then when somebody held the door for me i said Thank You 🙂
Tyrone: i’m glad it all worked out for you and your mom, but for some people, it’s just not the best/right thing to do, for the woman, or the fetus.
Hot Soup Girl said: “as long as it involves thrashing about in a swimming pool exercising extraordinary abdominal strength.”
I’l have you know that my days of faking unrealistically loud, epileptic orgasms in public places is over, thank you very much.
These days, it’s the real deal.
Which is why they probably won’t let me in Whole Foods anymore.
Those commercials about drugs were good. The Budweiser commercials were better. And the Dale Jr. commercial was the best. And BUSH IS THE MAN!! Second to Jr. of course. LOL! I’m glad that in my first election voting the guy I voted for won.
Right wil,
We should have voted for Ralph Nadar like you did.
Iran, Iraq, & North Korea is the whole rest of the World? I guess if you make a map of the most likely places that a Nuclear Bomb will be made that will end up blowing up one or more of our major cities, I guess you are right.
Oh second comment on the election cause everyone likes to say gore was gipped of a win. Thats bull. My vote was never counted. California doesn’t count the absentee votes. So my vote never was counted. So you think florida was the only place where people didn’t get to have their vote counted you are wrong!! I hate that I have to vote absentee but I go to school out of state.
This place is addictive, ecspecially when you have writers block !
First off… I am not sure on what to say on the womans choice issue. I know what I chose and, what was right for me, but still it was my choice, and it may not be right for anyone else.
Second… the whole idea of America becoming the aggressive party in this war… just scary in my opinion. Theres a differnce between going after specific groups that are targeting us and going after entire countries… I mean why fight if there is no need to !
Oh well just my opinion, oh well back to the book… heaven help my publishers 🙂
Amy
Thanks Wil, you too.
DaleJr,
I’m beginning to like you.
personally, i practice safe sex. i try to avoid any sexual activity that may result in damaged vertibrae and/or permanent paraplegia.
and stardust casino can go to hell.
ernie typed out:”Dear Wil,

According to Ann on the Weakest Link its because hes pretentious.
As far as the abortion, pro-life or what ever u want to call it debate, Please folks, dont start.
Its not an issue where you are gonna change anybodys mind, Its way past talking about politics or religion when you go there.
dearest wil, if you ran for president i would vote for you twice.
and look! you started an abortion debate! i have much to say on the topic, but suffice it to say that i am a co-director of my campus’ chapter of students for choice. so yeah, you could say i’m a little passionate.
i think i’m going to have to move somewhere else. seriously. i can’t deal with the kind of shit he’s pulling.
Wow. There’s not much more I can say. A friend pointed me to this. I’m sure you’ve heard it all from the Trekkies (Trekkers?), but, wow? It sounds cruel in some fashion, but I had no idea you were a smart cookie. People tend to judge actors by their character, which isn’t very fair, and I’m glad you never took any of that to heart. (Though, I think you should count your lucky stars you weren’t Neelix)
If not for ST:TNG, I would not have met my husband (online love affair gone wonderfully right). I’ve always wanted to thank /someone/ for that. 🙂
Warm regards from a Trek fan,

Case study: if as neighbours we could never stand each other, and that you suspect I’m buying ammo to come and kill you, does it make it right to come and burn my house ? Would Justice be on your side ?
(oh, I forgot the pre-requisite: for this case study, you do not have the majority at the Court.)
Don’t people in the States usually hold open the
door for strangers? If not, Odd.
Sandra – I totally agree with you. If there was
a better sex education program, more freely
available birth control, and better support for
parents of unwanted pregnancies, I’d be much more
comfortable with the idea of outlawing abortion.
As it is now, outlawing abortion is most likely
just going to kill people who can’t afford to pay
for safe illicit abortions.
SLS – It doesn’t have to be one thing for all
situations. Outlawing freely available abortions
to anyone who wants them doesn’t mean you have
to disallow all abortions under all possible
circumstances. A case where a woman’s life is in
danger is completely different from a case where
a woman’s life is going to be inconvenienced for
9 months.
Also, consider that in cases where the woman’s
life is in danger, the baby is usually in danger
as well. In that case, I’d choose the life of the
known alive person (the mother) over the baby.

Don’t always think in competative terms; a healthy debate also outlines and clarifies everyone’s point of view–and can help to solidify an opinion once every perspective is understood.
Jessica,
You are right on! I’d been trying to think of a way to write something here like that that didn’t make me look completely naive or like I was sitting on the fence. Very well put!
Shifting subjects, the other thing that I thought was on this $43 million grant to the Taliban. I’d never heard about this and was certainly stunned. However, I wanted to try to find a more objective article on it rather than take any news source from an opinion column that would put some sort of spin on it. For any one interested, here’s a link to it (Mr. Scheer actually has it on his site)http://www.robertscheer.com/1_natcolumn/01_columns/taliban.htm
First point: Hmm.. There have been interesting points made so far. I believe that abortion should be legal, but only in very rare circumstances. Examples: the child is a direct result of rape or incest, or the mother’s/child’s life is in serious jeopardy by continuing the pregnancy. Other than that, I say, “Hey, you made the choice to have sex. There are known consequences to that. When you choose to have protected or unprotected intercourse, you are making a choice to accept those long-term risks for short-term pleasure.” It’s my position that intimate relations should be reserved for marriage. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about choice. People make a choice when they choose to have sex with someone, and they should be aware of, and be responsible for, all the risks.
Second point: I don’t appreciate it (and I’m NOT accusing anyone here of doing this, I’m just saying) when people think that someone else is closed-minded because they disagree. Many people might say I’m closed-minded for having this opinion. It’s just not true.
Uh, in closing, I would just like to say, “Use Linux, think deep, and … go to Lake Powell this summer (it rocks)!”
What I find so horrifying is that there are so many people who say “oh, but there’s always adoption… there are so many families who want a child so bad and can’t get one.” Have you ever heard of adoption parties? Children who have gone from childhood to adulthood looking for someone to adopt them without ever finding one? There are thousands on top of thousands of children out there looking for parents and no one wants them. I’m disgusted by people who can apparently only love babies and not the children waiting to be adopted. When there are no more people waiting to be adopted with no luck THEN I’d be willing to consider the adoption argument. Until then, though, try again.
Don’t Blame me I voted with the MAJORITY
and Dont blame me MY VOTE DIDDN”T COUNT
Were so farked.. can I defect to Canada now?
I love you Wil Wheaton and I AM gay.
Is this a bad time to say I am from Texas?
(and I don’t even know where Crawford Texas is!)
Loved the commericals..loved the E*TRADE Monkey commerical…”We got a friend in Florida for you!”…LMAO!!!!
Party like 1989!!! WHOOOHOOOO!!! I was only…10 or 11…”Go Wil! Go Wil!!” *dances*
Anyway…till laterz, Ya’LL!! 😛
Argh, I just HAVE to respond to this: …I believe that abortion should be legal, but only in very rare circumstances. Examples: the child is a direct result of rape or incest…
People who say this must have conflicting ideas in their heads about abortion. Most anti-abortionists believe that a child is a child upon conception and therefore abortion is murder. To say that it’s okay to abort a child if it’s rape leads to the conclusion that the child is less a human being because it was a forced act. Since when do we “civilized” humans visit the sins of the parents upon the child? Furthermore, to say it’s okay to abort a child when the mother was forced into sex but NOT okay to abort a child when the mother did so willingly says that you think of baring an unwanted child as a punishment. Understanding that a baby is a baby is a baby would mean that the child of rape is still a human life. Just because it was born of a terrible act does not make it less so. And the baring of that child is not a punishment on the raped mother. Nor should it be thought of as a punishment for women who choose to have sex and get pregnant.
Therefore, if you really think that abortion should be legal when the child is a direct result of rape or incest then I think you really need to think about WHAT leads you to believe this because I do not see a rational argument behind it.
