Why do I cringe every time I look at Clinton on Television?  Even if I were a democrat I think I would still have that deep unsettled feeling after hearing him speak.  I've tried everything to find a positive about the man, and after six years have found nothing.  When he was on the campaign trail in the early 90's I remember how much he talked about being the same as everyone else, that he grew up in a split home, and he had to struggle through college.  Well, fat-boy, where are you now?  You haven't given so much as a single thought to help those people.  Why?  In fact, when I look back at the Clinton legacy I will not be able to find one single policy success that he initiated.  I challenge every single reader, regardless of their political beliefs, to point out one single policy.

I don't think you can do it.

Well, the point of the rant is that I heard him speak today at a rally.  I didn't catch the whole thing, and right now I'm trying to find the transcript of the speech so I can get the full story.  I hate to pass judgement with an uneducated mind.  This is what I found:

In the news:
President Clinton, calling Kosovo a ''big test of what we believe in,'' Monday used a Memorial Day tribute to America's war dead to say the air war will end only when Belgrade accepts NATO's peace terms.

Ok, this leads me to believe that Clinton is going to book a flight to Russia and start protesting the war.  I mean, if this is a test of what we "all" believe in, then he's out of here.  Furthermore, in his speech, he said that the only US casualties were 2 Apache Helicopter pilots killed during a training session.   Hum...someone is lying here and I think I can pick him out of the crowd.   Billy, please stand up.  If you didn't read the report I attached to my journal on the 28th, then you should.  It seemed to indicated much more loss than Clinton is aware of, or shall I say, reporting.  That, from a government that ordered 9,000 purple hearts the other day (the medals that are given to US soldiers injured in the line of battle).  Gosh, if we're sending only 4,000 ground troops, why the big rush on the purple hearts?

I'm not even making this stuff up.  If you don't believe me, check out www.wardiary.org and see for yourself.  Now that's reality, and a lot more convincing than the rhetoric I've been hearing lately.

On to more pressing issues...

The weekend was pretty fun.  I went up to my girlfriend's cabin and helped open it for the season.  Had to put in the dock, the boat, the boat lift, clean out a couple of the bed rooms, clean the garage, clean...  My point being is that things got a little out of hand.  Once we started, there was no turning back.  Needless to say I'm pretty sure I'll sleep well tonight.  I'm a bit sore. 

It was a blast, don't get me wrong.  I've only been going up there for about at year and I find it very relaxing (I'll tell you more detail in future writings).  I guess that's why I don't mind pitching in with all the hard work.  Because I know I'll be enjoying it all summer long.  Provided that my sweet, sweet girlfriend will continue to bring me with.  Only problem is that we don't get to sleep in the same room together while we're there.  I feel like I'm 13 years old again.  It's cute.  I did sneak into her room last night and curl up for a while.  It was pretty nice, save the fact that her bed is about 10 feet off the ground and the sides sorta slant downwards.  This only complicated by the fact that she decided to sleep in the middle of the bed.  I felt like I should be strapped in at one point.

I was so afraid of getting busted.  Every time I heard a noise I thought it was her parents checking up on us.  Finally, about 3 O'clock in the morning I decided to make a break for it and head back to my room.  I was nearly busted, as her Dad was up at the time.  Fortunately, he didn't hear nor see me.  Whew...close call.   Someday, I know, we're going to get busted.  I should probably start preparing my last words.  Not that they don't suspect something serious is going on between us, anyway.  We have been dating for over 10 months now...

And, of course, this leads me to one final question of the evening:  when do you know that you've found the one
