Skull and Bones
Just read another interesting article in a magazine (Humo if you want to know) about "The brotherhood of the Death", better known as "Skull and Bones".
It's a small, secretive student society from Yale, and only real powerfull people can join. I'm not going to summarize the whole article here, but an interesting note is that both George W. Bush and Kerry are members (this gives you an idea about it's powers).
The article is an interview with the writer of "Secrets of the Tomb", who also writes for the New Yorker and the washington post btw. Seems like an interesting book.
Anyway, anyone heard of this? It also mentions that it's quite hard to get mainstream attention with this, just now that kerry won there's supposed to be more attention to this fact.
But to me it just sounds that this group might be the real power (or one of the real powers) in america.

I heard about them, some kinda establishment lobby thing where the men of power of tomorrow are being prepared eh. I'd throw a molotov in their elitarian fancy clubhouse, but in the US i'd prolly get capital penalty for messing with the Man. lol
I feel like partying...
gotta love it, anyone know what song this is taken from?

I think there are many of 'real powers' in America, most of them $$$ related. Then again, who's to say the rest of the world isn't controlled, either? Just different people with money controlling different countries.
I say we nuke everyone.

Yesterday i read another thing (i know, i read alot ) that really surprised me. It was about the "cheeseburger bill" or something.
Appearantly the republicans want to vote a law that prevents people that suffer from obesitas etc. to go to court and try to get money from Mc Donalds for instance. This seems like a very good idea to me, taking responsibility for your own actions and such.
But the democrats oppose this law, they feel the court and the judges should decide.
So i thought the republicans were a bunch of morons, but now it turns out that the democrats are a bunch of morons (as well). I learn new things every day.

It almost makes you think all Americans are morons.
But that's impoosible, otherwise they wouldn't be the only superpower left.

Wouldn't it be cool to have money that said "in Cthulu we trust"? Or, "Of Cthulu we have fear".

yea, same person. Ancient god of the deep that will make you go insane just by looking at him. Eats people's heads. Stuff like that.
I am god, hear me roar.
I think both Republicans and Democrats are morons, as is about 90% of the world.

Since when have americans complained about the Muslims for trusting in their God??
It's not like americans hate every muslim cause they're a muslim, they and most other people don't like some muslims cause they're terrorists....
....bloody (wannabe) italiens
