Liverpool losing to the Spurs is not exactly the way I would’ve liked to start my Sunday. So I admit I had a good laugh when Arsenal conceded 2 goals in the dying minutes against them because…well, it was funny. And Spurs seem to have taken on a new life post-Ramos with Redknapp onboard, so it was quite inspiring to watch them battling it out at the Emirates.

But at White Hart Lane, a game where an obviously better team lost is painful. Even if we were going to lose at some point of this season, it shouldn’t have been through this game, with an OG to boot.

You win some, you lose some.

By the way, is it just me, or are little minnow teams Stoke and Hull a sudden force to be reckoned with?

—————

With barely a few days until the US Presidential Election, I thought I’d make a movie suggestion:

This movie details out what most probably happened during the Elections of 2000, when Bush went on to beat Gore to become the 43rd US President. It’s going under my fav movie list, and I highly recommend it if you’re wondering who actually won that election. It won’t give you a conclusive answer, but it’ll definitely give you something to think about. Was the Oval Office stolen that year? You decide.

Since this movie focuses a lot on the legal aspect of the elections, as I told Mazzy, it was one of the few times I felt a legal education was not wasted on me. Very intriguing and stomach-churning, despite the fact that we all know the outcome.

And now, where Americans are on the brink of electing a President, a decision that will have significant impact on foreign policies and world affairs, all we can do is hope that the one who wins will at least attempt at fixing the irreparable damage left behind by US’ worst leader in history. I’ve been following their campaigns for a while, and so far it looks like Obama’s the best bet. It’d be presumptous to say he’ll have a sure win at this stage though, since anything is possible despite his lead. If Truman was able to beat Dewey back in 1948, then nothing says Mccain can’t beat Obama in 2008.

We’ll see come November 4th.

May God help us all.

Enough said here.

i woke up this morning to this movie on astro. me n my abang got glued to the end. reminds me of how digusted i was with myself supporting a win for Bush back then. naive enough to think republicans would have changed from their waging war ways (who m i kidding right? he’s the freaking son!!) and wanting an out of the whole democrats and their sleezy affairs. thinking Al Gore and Tipper were just the same. oh how wrong i was. urgh!!!

I’m dead scared for the 4th!!
2 days to go!!

oh n spurs..it was well expected. they were on a good run. even if it was an OG..the pressure was on. yeay!!
hehehe

n have to agree with stoke and hull..amazing drive.

I wish I could vote. Damnit, the whole world should be allowed to vote since the outcome will affect the whole world…

Lubna, kenapa tak jawab my message, hmmm?

If Mccain wins, then I’m leaving the planet.

I want Obama to kick McCains little bottom to the ground…. :) he looks a sound bloke so far anyway.

No comment about football though because I’m a rugby person! ciao

Daad:
HBO’s been showing it non-stop these past few days. Can you believe how Katherine Harris was portrayed? Like a complete dunce! And the make-up!

I really liked how the two legal teams battled it out though - the liberals grabbing at everything they could, the conservatives more sly, cunning and composed in their ways. It was fair - I didn’t see it as Good Dems v Evil Reps. Election laws were crazy vague. Chad or no chad? Manual recount or not? Should absentee votes without postmarks be counted? And what about the advisory opinions yang bercanggah? And the intervention by the Supreme Court? And the voters who were turned away because their names were similar to criminals? Not to mention Joe Lieberman’s little stupid stunt. I mean, he WAS Gore’s running mate, wasn’t he? So many factors and issues that led to the final outcome that year.

I didn’t know you were for Bush! I have to ask you this though - did you feel like you could relate when everyone in the movie was always crowded around the TV for the latest news and announcements? I could! I feel like I’m the only one in this house that still runs to the TV for the news!

Less than 24 hours now Didi. :s

Ps. Spurs. Did. Not. Deserve. To. Win. Even Redknapp admits they got lucky! But I don’t mind any more - a loss always keeps us grounded. :p

Pai:
You’re right, the WORLD should be able to vote. Remember that photo in 2004, when Bush won the re-election? A guy held up his notepad, which said “Sorry World. We Tried. - Half of America”
And yang, I tak prasan your msg. I’m sorry. It came at a time when I really wasn’t well. I hope my msg today makes up for it! :)
Ps-McCain winning isn’t as bad as…oh, say, Bush winning ANOTHER term. Michael Moore said the only good thing about the 2004 elections was that Bush won’t be able to run again. Two terms, that’s it. If Bush were to be President for another 4 years, I’m leaving the planet right along with you.

Ahmed:
Everyone’s sentiments, really. I won’t go and say Obama’s the ultimate good guy, because that would be too easy. But his policies sound reasonable so far, and Dems usually focus on domestic affairs which means less intervention with other nations, which I’m all for!

Ps. A shame. Football’s beautiful, you should give it a chance.

Gaah!! that Laura Dern was amazing as Kat Harris i thought. her body moves were excellent to depict an atrtificial character, i think. aloof. cold cold woman.and yeah the make up. hahahah.

can i relate? i felt the similarity to every inch of my body right down to my bones. i didn’t run to the news. i sat in front of the news berkampung and made calls to my mom and dad everytime there’s breaking news. and there was always breaking news. hehe. and i fell in love with wolf blitzer back then. the man was amazing. superb!!
this year it’s happening again. god!! blitzer still has got it. and plus cooper. how do they make everything so clear. we’re talking major stats here..and the hologram..what can i say CNN.

yup!! Bush! I’m ashamed at myself. but i was quick to notice my mistake..a little too late still when the whole recount went by. when it was Kerry vs. Bush…i was not convinced.

this is a salute to this years campaign. it was awesome!! huge!! and how everyone approached the issue on colour and the mexican votes. I’m happy. it’s close to a win now. 207-135 for obama. that’s almost certain.

obama menang! woo woo.
