Fly On, USofA
Yo,
Bla bla bla politics. Bla bla bla politics.
That's how people feel about it sometimes right? How many of you can name the mayor of your city, your governor, your senator and your state representatives. How many of you can name the Secretary of State?
Tell me. Seriously. Name them if you can. I'm curious. And if you don't know them tell me why. (No judgment. I just want to know.)
My own political leanings aside. And believe me, I have them. It is our job to save the world and all. What a primary it's been. And as a voice of a disenfranchised rogue bird kid I'm pleased and proud that an African American man and a woman have shown their stuff as viable candidates for the American presidency.
This country was founded by diversity and religious freedom. Or at least the idea of diversity.... So when we live up to the standards we set for ourselves, it's the kind of thing that makes you stand up and feel a sense of pride. No matter who you support in the fall.
Fly on,
Fang

I know I've only just commented, but still.
I'm watching something about a blind guy who can use echolocation to 'see' things. How cool would it be if you could learn that, Iggy!! I reckon you could - your hearing is so good! Look it up:

Hope it's useful!
Love you all!

wow
True, i won't lie that sometimes i don't care about politics. I'm not that involved, but i try to get as involved as possible. Thank you, maybe I'll try to be more involved with my politics. I am proud that an African America and a woman can run for president. But I think that Obama would make a good candidate. I just think that he would.
Thanks for blogging!
OMG YOU FINALLY POSTED!!!! I was wondering when your next blog was going to be.
I mean, me and my flockmates have at least 80 posts each! (yea you should visit out blogs<3)
I love you guys!! You're awesome

bye!
I can name some of them
Barrack Obama
Hilary CLinton
John Mcane
Our govener is Sebelius or something like that
Honestly i think that this is sort of stupid why do we need all these city councils, goveners, mayors, presidents, VP, Treasures I mean it's ridiculous All we need is a president, scratch that we don't need a president we need heroes like you. Oh and while you guys are saving the world do you thing you could have angel talk the gas company's into lowereing theri gas to like a buck It's going to be $5 when i can drive:)
soooo wait is the flock saying rock on obama! ^^ yay! (he is best)
i actually know some names of important ppl but i cannot match them with job titles. But i am only a sophmore this coming year so i haven't atually been in a class where dicussions about politics and senate etc. have been talked about.
It's actually quite funny, i live in a republican based city/suburb yet ever since the first election for george W. bush, everyone i ask there opinions on him about, hates him and has hated all the republican candidates since then
i liked gore form the beginning, wether there's actually any base to that idea or not. Didin't like clinton or bush and hillary's a freako ^^ (and even tho i'm a girl all my other girl friends hate her to ahah)
CHANGE IS THE ONLY WAY UP FROM HERE!
~mae
I have no idea. I try to stay out of that stuff. Way to much stuff for a blonde to Try and figure out. Maybe I should be more involed though.....
ooooo moonstarwith wings! awesome idea! that's so cool i bet it'd be useful too.
Ok, let me just say, that was rather random. I really didn't know you cared so much about politics seeing how you guys are always on the run and never really have time to investigate on what's going on in our world politically, but it's great to know that you care. Uh, I guess I can't say the same about me, but I do know a thing or two about politics. Good to see you blogging though. Luv ya all!
I can't name the secretary of my state, but I am keeping up with the presidential primaries very well. I was happy when Clinton and Obama ran.
I'm also glad you posted finally.
Keep Flying!
Miz636
Wow Fang, I'm sure you would make a could politician :). I really don't know the name of any senates or governor. It just seems something not worth learning. Well at least to me.

Celi
our town doesn't have a mayor [it's a realllllllly small town, trust me]our governor is some guy named sonny. idk his last name, but i think it's purdo or somethin like that.
and oh oh oh oh oh! my dad's friend Tom Weldon is our republican representative! but i prolly only kno that cause he's my dad's friend....>w<
thanks for blogging! i was wonderin when you were gonna blog too ^^
safe flying to you,
sora
Also UK based, didn't even know my Town had a Mayor O.o
Let's see...US ones are Hilary and Obama and the only Senetor i can name is good ol' Arnie!
hey im really into politics and equallity so i like Obama and i believe the republicans will do any thing thay can even going to pathetic measures to destroy his ego, now is the time for change like he said and he has alot of guts to get up and say what he believes in
~luna
what have you guys been doing, you havent posted in ages?! ok, political people.
MAYOR-umm, no idea
GOVERNOR- Somebody Strickland (like the ice cream place!)
SENATOR- oh geez...
REPRESENTATIVES-are you kidding me!?
the thing is, politics bore me. lots of people arguing over this law, and this issue. i would be up a wall in 2 minutes. nope, not for me. as for pres, i have no idea. someone who will do good things. aside from that, i have absolutely no idea.
Is this going to get "preachy" again? Lol. Just kidding.
I can name all of them, but I won't because I don't want anyone coming to find me. The Secretary of State is Condoleezza Rice, who was the second woman to hold the position, coming after Madeleine Albright.
See. I know my stuff.
I can't name them, sorry. If you want to look them up for me though, you could Google them--I live in Ohio. I think it's not so important as to what their NAMES are though as to what their DOING about all the issues our country faces. Because really, even if we're in different states of America, we're all facing the same national challenges, you know? I'm not slamming the individual states' rights--I'm all for them. But I can see that our country faces some...communication issues that could be solved if there was a big national conference of some sort in stead of our reps in Congress doing everything for us just because some "adults" (you know, no offense, but sometimes I feel my decisions could be as good or better than theirs...feel free to second me on that) trusted them with correctly representing and defending us as individuals.
All I really have to say when it comes to politics is that people's views are different from our political leaders'--even if we (or our parents) DID vote for them. I wonder if we could just throw reps out the window (figuratively of course, however funny it would be literally) and stick with a "majority wins" rule. THAT would simplify our system of government, even if it WOULD take a little longer. It would be more fair, and the minority could still be sure they were heard. They could still petition if they wanted.
I'll leave with this comment: Kids are the hope for the future. Adults have said that to me all my life. But in all my 14 years, I've never seen an adult so helpless that they couldn't start changing the world NOW so that their children wouldn't have to put out this fire on their own with no experience. You know?
the no longer anonymous,
already_in_the_air
PS: hope this wasn't unbearably long/boring...sorry if it was. FLY ON!
That's how people feel about it sometimes right? How many of you can name the mayor of your city, your governor, your senator and your state representatives. How many of you can name the Secretary of State?
Let's see... I'm in Pittsburgh, Pennsyvlania
Mayor- Luke Ravenstahl
Govenor- Ed Rendell
Senator- Arlen Specter, I think? Or he used to be, anyway
No idea on the state representatives and the secretary of state.
But I did decent, right? I'm sick of politics too, especially because my weirdo friends spend a lot time talking about it. Personally, I am rooting for Obama for president. If he wins, it will be making HISTORY! First black president!
Well, history will be made if McCain wins too. Oh well.
I tink that Hillary should be Barrack Obama's VP
Can I geta hell ya?!!
awesome!
I sometimes dont care about politcs because they seem to make some things so overly complicated when it could have such a simple solution.
I am glad that we have a african american and a women who have stepped up and took the challenge. I really hope that we dont have another tradtitional president becasue I believe that this country needs some serious adjustments.
On another note, how have you guys been? It took a while for you guys to post again.
Hope you are safe.
Fly on Forever

Yes I can name all those people! But i live in California so its not that hard to name the governer or the other politicians because they are EVERYWHERE!
oh and where have you guys been for the past week? i was checking the blog every day but there was nothing new.
And tell Iggy i say hi
- California Brunette
weird, but i can name all of those politicians.
nope, I can't...that's because my parents talk about politics (well the stuff in my town because my dad's on the Board of Education in our town) 24/7 practically so I usually just want to stay away from it as much as possible. But I do watch the Daily Show and the Cobert Report because it makes fun of politics....
If I had to take a guess I think it's Condelezza (or however you spell that) Rice, but that's just a guess.
huh, i can name all those politicians
I don't know who all those are because I really am not affected by them where I am. I can tell you where the presidential candidates stand, and I can tell you loads more about political issues and where people stand in them, but I don't really care for who those people really are. That and the fact that I'm not even in High School...
you know whats funny, Hilary Clinton lost before she could drop out. now Obama will win by a landslide and our country will be saved, and even if he doesn't win, McCain will be a hell of a lot better than Hilary. no matter what all of those racist people say about Obama being a terrorist because he's Muslim.
srry but i can't name all of them
but I live in Hawaii (O'ahu)
gov: Linda Lingle
Mayor: Mufi Hannaman
GO BARACK OBAMA (I go to his former school PUNAHOU)
frum ur biggest fan (as in book)
this has nothin 2 do with ur posted thing (srry) but do u guys no who is playin who in da Max Ride movie cause I REALLY want 2 no and I m sure every1else dus 2
-Huge Fan
yeah, that is pretty cool. I think there have been other women candidates, but Hilary Clinton is the most well known.and I doubt that there have been any black candidates before. I wonder why there never has been a president that isn't an old white guy. even if neither of them get elected, they still tried. history is being made here.
hey moonstarwithwings it is BARACK Obama and he is now the democratic nominee(yay)how cum u peeps haven't posted in a LOOOONG time?
dude, I don't even know our dumb president's middle name except that it starts with 'W'. I don't listen to news, so I don't even know what's up in the world. I hate America, anyhow. when I can, I want to do the transfer-student-thingy.
I livve in the middle of nowhere...So i basically dont know where our freaking mailbox is. We actually live in a "green" enviroment in GA. \
sweet blog
CLone
Please fang visit our blogs, or post on them, one of you.
hehe disregard the whole i am coller than fang post.
sorry
I LOVE ECHO
Fly on
Sonar
it is really cool. Clinton and Obama are making history. there have been some women candidates before, but none so widely publicized. it would be awesome if we had a president that is not an old white guy. other countries have had women presidents before, why don't we?
even if neither of them win, at least they tried.
Well, I'm not sure if you're going to believe it, but our mayor is somebody named-get this- "Cluck". Yes, his last name is Cluck! Hee hee, that's a funny.
But I am pretty happy that we got an African-American and woman in the running seriously, even if I am a Republican. It's still pretty flippin' awesome.

Hey guys! Hmm...I usually don't keep up with politics. I mean I know who's running, but I don't know what they all beleive and stuff. My friends don't know much about it either...sorry.
Anywayz...Luv ya!
-Caitlin M.
yes fang. i agree =]
it shows change & the fact that we're moving forward & able to accept :D
we're so lucky & special to witness what will be probably one of the most important & amazing presidential elections in US history.
Well frankly I do not care to know as our government is somewhat of a joke.Well I am no radical but from my view it would have been much better if everyone had listened to the great George Washington and avoided political parties.It is just another form of prejudism in the sense that you are either part of group or another.it is really rather like highschool.Well these are my thoughts, they could be wrong, they might be insightful, and they could be nonsense.Can't help what I think though.Oh yes and while I am very proud that a both a woman and a black man have finally entered the race for the presidency I cannot help bu think that if our political system were different still this phenomenon might've occurred years ago.Good question by the way.Sorry to take up so much space!!

My excuse is that I simply don't care. Honestly, how many people want to be able to name them. I am not mad or anything, just thought that I would throw that out there.
hahaha. i honestly can't even name the mayor of our town (:
its true and no one really pays attention to politics anyway, unless you're like 40 and above. I just wanted to tell you fang that I LOVE YOU!!! hahaha. in the literal sense, and tell max that I think she's awesome and that angel&gazzy are so cute and sweet. iggy&nudge are amazing too (:
dont watch politics. its not as if you guys would anyway, you're too cool for that stuff.
anyway love you all!!!
-jasmine
Well, Secretary of State is Condelezza Rice. I don't think my town has a mayor but Philadelphia is Michael Nutter, My Governor is Ed Rendell (Yeah PA!!!), and I don't know the state reps or senator. OK, not bad, but I totally agree that more people should be interested in government. It is there for our good and if we don't care, what's the point???
hahah imma tell the truth. i have no idea and i coulnt name any of them to save my life. lol thanx for blogging fang!
So there is an election soon....
I thought so
Fang I'm a little curious at the moment
Here's the thing
Right outside my town there is a huge building that looks like a hospital/jail and it just appeared about a month ago
It says it is government property but I feel it is something more....
my mayor: Larry Nelson
my governor: Janet Napolitano
my senator: John McCain
my state representatives: ? and ?
secretary of state: Condoleeza Rice
I only know them cuz I watch the news.
Honestly, I don't care who wins the election. The country will still have crazy and insane companies who just want your money even if it means destroying the Earth. It's time for us kids to stand up and make a difference.
Laughing in the face of danger,
Me
Uhhmmm...yeah, i really don't know! But it's totally something worth knowing! So excuse me while i go do my research...O_o
talk to ya later, guys!
Keep on Flying!
~HoRsEcHiCk~
WOW. Fang can be deep!
wow Fang that's deep. kinda unexpected from you. heehee no offense.
i honestly don't know anything about politics. i couldn't care less who ppl elect to destroy the world, it's still gonna happen.
~amee
Um... I know the mayor! He has the coolest name ever: John Hickenlooper! Told you it was cool! Senate, senate, senate, hmmm... Ken Salizar I believe? That's not quite as interesting tho... well that's some of them. Hope that helped!
Madi
by the way i forgot to mention this-
how come iggy doesnt have a girlfriend?
max and fang are all lovey-dovey, the others are too young to even care, and ig's just...all alone.
kinda sad when you think about it.
~amee
uhhh...well, the mayor of here is...kay i can't remember. No, Glen Taylor. The Premier(I live in Canada. He's the head guy of the province) is Ed Stelmac. The Prime Minister is...Steven Harper. Wow. I had to ask my sisi about that. She's younger than me.
Ees anano retal
cool
Mayor - Not sure. But technically I live in two cities. Does that get me off the hook?
Governor - Patterson (Although technically it might still be Spitzer, I don't know)
Senator - Nope
State Reps - can't do that either
Why I never got involved before? I couldn't stand politics. A bunch of stereotypical people standing around and lying through their teeth.
yeah....ok i dont care bout Politics at all...like i used to until i had to write a term paper on Obama that was so much work! rlly politicians are just major overachievers...but they rule our country so u gotta give em some respect! And i now bunches bout the campaign cus my dad watches the news and all. Yeah my 'rents have diff views on politics so i get 2 sides! Its like i'm the oreo of politics! ya random but whatev...ANYWAY
Okay, now i gots a few Q's that i WANT ANSWERS TO!!
Question (pregunta)
What is the most interesting thing you guys have seen while you were up in the sky???? (I think this needs to be answered)
AND..sorry if this offends anyone but i'm curious..
Do you guys believe in God? If so what religion are you? Is this question too personal? idk but i really want an answer..i think it be interesting coming from you guys! Even if it is an answer that doesnt rlly answer the question i DO wanna know what u hav to say about it...
Please answer them!
Cristina
I can name my 2 state senators and my local representatives. and my state's governor. the mayor is a little harder. I just dont pay attention to them, but I know the mayor of a big city where I live very close too. That good enough?
Jocelyn
P.S. Nudge, you got me hooked on GG! I can't stop watching it!
wow i only know my govenor but i dont know how to spell it
these types of things bore me a lot!!
hey fang! tell Iggy and the rest of the flock I said hi! I don't know them but why should i know them its not really going to be that important is it?.......oh well I highly doubt it anyways I don't know them because I care more about other stuff instead of that unless it has something to do with them but I'll just forget them again! question:what are everybody's favorite colors? see you later...or not bye!(I talk like nudge don't I)
i know the governer of minnesota... but that's just because he happens to be in my house right now. as for the other guys, i just don't care. go obama!
Hey! Who do these comments go to, anyway?
Hoorah! That's a speach someone would make before people do cheers with cups... or whatever. Something. Like I know anything about proper table manners.
Um. Anyway.
I think it's good there's history of a woman RUNNING. And I go against 100 more years of war. That's too barfy and deadness. Dead is bad. Unless... Nevermind. Let's not be negative.
We lost anyway in war. Too many people died. Ugh. (But that's my belief, I hope I'm not going agaisnt anybody.)
Rachel
I live in a smallish town so the Mayor is also alot of people family doctor. His name is Gus Wetzel II. OUr govonor is Matt Blunt and... that's all i know 'cause i took a trip to the capital today!!!
yourcool79
i cant tell u much bout the political stuff and i think FANG IS RIGHT we dont really pay attention. i think its cuz people older then us r the only who can vote so it doesnt matter 2 us. (im 14 also)
ps:I've read ALL of ur books, acctually i just finished the last one 2 min ago. Has any thing happened between u and max cuz u guys r perfect 4 eachother.
beleve me when i say im ur biggest fan
-Kristin
Okay you know what Fang you really got under my skin! I was reading the 4th book when I got to chapter 6! Then it said in there enough with the emo stuff! I cant believe you said that! I am a loyal Maximum Ride fan and you go and say that! I am dumbfounded!
I'm just really surprised that so many people can't name their government officials. Personally, I barely even look at polotic related things, yet still I can give names to all of the people you described. Everyone needs to be more aware of their surroundings, less self centered and narsissic, and more involved in things that actually matter.
Very patriotic. Sounds like Max at the end of Final Warning. I still want to know when you guys celebrate your birthdays!
yeah . . not gonna lie, sometimes i dont care much for politics, and i dont know who our mayor, or senate (well, actually i know one only cus i met him in april)or any of that. sometimes it just seems like all they do is bicker bout stuff that has no importance to us . . i mean some of it does, but not all. anyways, glad you finally blogged again!!
~BIG FAN~
I don't really listen to politics at all because I really don't care. If I did care I would listen more but... just don't feel like it. Maybe someday I will.
Rock on!
i cant name them. i have 2 say i dont really care about politics except 4 certain moments of my life. i also must say that i wouldnt choose Clinton or Obama. Clinton freaks me out(im telling the truth) and Obama beliefs n some stuff i dont(like that abortion is OK). im just saying that im not concerned w/ politics n this stage of my life. glad u blogged fang. tell the flock i say hi. any news on the books, movies, or manga? FLY ON!
I used to know them all but I forget :( I like Obama, Hilary was already in charge and its time for someone who isn't a white christion man so whats his names out
so much has changed since the declaration of independence...
When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
that was the preamble of the declaration don't just look at it and then away reread it understand it "dissolve the political bonds" think about it
people just don't talk like that anymore
I cant...
but i do get really into politics sometimes, especially this presidential election. i can talk all day about that!
thanks for finally blogging fang!
luv u!
~Maddie~
ps go obama
All right here it goes...
Mayor Tom Salm
Governor Chet Culver
Senetors Charles Grassley, Tom Harken.
state representitives Robert Dvorskey, Joe Bolkcom,
Secretary of state Michael Mauro
I had to memorize those for a test.
fly on,
Bacon
I cant name them... why? becasue I really dont pay attention...or I just really dont care. But hey, politics are not my thing... I can name the president though. Everyone seems to dislike him but again I dont pay attention.-Nat
Hey, all you people who said "I don't really care" "i hate America" and all that other stuff! I just have a tiny question that I hope is inoffensive and isn't taken the wrong way by anyone:
ARE YOU TOTALLY INSANE?!?!?!
America is a proud example of democracy and YES we've made our share of mistakes, but people once had doubts about fighting in the REVOLUTION (yeah, there's that big word they keep repeating in history class again). People once ACCEPTED the idea of RACISM and SLAVERY (but we're working our way to tolerance and acceptance, thank goodness). People are STILL living in poverty and communism reigns over them because they don't know how or they CAN'T stand up for themselves. Well, news for you blog readers:
AMERICA IS TRYING TO STOP THAT. (shocker, ain't it?)
YES we will continue making mistakes, but (here's another shocker for ya) if you take the time to LEARN, CONCERN YOURSELF, and STOP SITTING AROUND WITH YOUR HEAD STUCK IN THE STATE OF MIND THE MEDIA'S LIES PUT THEM IN, maybe you could prevent some of the future mistakes, you know? Another no offense moment: stop being so self absorbed and whiny about mistakes our country is making unless you are willing to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
Yeah, if not anarchy, that is really cool.
I'm in Australia, so mine seem to be a bit simpler, but I still don't know them fully. Like you said, Blah Blah Blah politics. I mean, who cares?
Thanks, love you all.
Me
hi thanks for blogging i was freaking.
True, I can't name a whole lot of the whatever people, it's pretty obvious that not many kids care enough to know their names. It has been quite interesting watching all the candidates and their campaigns lately. I wish we'd get someone who really was the best candidate for president. Nothing against the candidates, but each one always has the one flaw that turns a lot of people against them. My class had a discussion about this before school ended, and a lot of people (especaially girls) agreed that we need someone who cares abotu the environmetn as much as all the other things. I guess it'll be up to you guys to save the world then, no president ever could.
-Nikki
I totally agree. But I could rant for ages about how corrupt and messed up the goverment is. Btw, the woman (Hillary) dropped out, so it's Obama verus McCain. And I'd say 'GO OBAMA' but I don't want to offend anyone...-noo, certainly not-
Yeah, this is to the flock-well, there are a lot of poser winged kids-duh, but basically, I'm saving the world from someone called Aqua who,no duh,controls the element water(plus some other stuff, but w/e), well, I really don't even know if you are...ya know...a real flock, but if you are, maybe we can meet up sometime, we help you, you help us kind of thing...I think I saw Fang once in Philly...but i dunno
Mayor: Tom Suozzi.
Senator: Hilary Clinton and Chuck Schummer.
Secretary of State: Condaleeza Rice. (?) I think.
No, I didn't look those up, and I am one of the the few highschool kids that would know that. I get your point Fang, we should be interested in the going's on of government. I agree with you totally and completely. I've been following the election and its a very interesting race and obviously more people should be informed about it in order to make an informed decision in November. Just as in example today in my public speaking class, as our finals we were assigned certain debate topics and the group that was going up to debate today had the Iraq war. Regardless of my personal feelings on the issue I was appalled at how completely ignorant people can be, especially highschoolers. The person who was arguing the side for the Iraq war started off by saying that we went to Iraq to "get those people who bombed us" and it just went downhill from there. he went on to say that we're getting closer to finding Saddam Hussein and that he was the one who instigated the 9/11 attacks. I wanted to scream at him that Saddam is DEAD and he's been dead for a while now. It was pretty big news when they found him in a ditch hiding away a couple of years ago! We went into Iraq because of the supposed "weapons of mass destruction" that were being assembled in Iraq after Saddam Hussein refused to let UN weapons inspectors in.
In all honesty people should see it as there duty to educate themselves because that is really the only way they can make a decision for themselves about what they believe in. Kids should care about what is going on in the world because it is indefinitely important to the future of our country.
<3tehroop.
i dont care about this kinda stuff, usually im in my own world or reading. anyway u finally posted!!!!=]!!!! hope ur having fun
fly happy!!!!!
ok, i have no clue about politics. im a blondie, so political stuff is NOT my area. All i know is that Clinton and Obama are against each other. i want Obama to win. And idk, im white, but i dont like Hilary that much hehe
Catch this!
Long time no type.
What's up?! Max said you were on the run again. Tell us! WE WANT TO KNOW!!!!!!!
I think that half of why Obama and Clinton have made it this far is because of what you said:
One is a woman and the other is and African American man. I mean, its like people only vote for them because people think that others will hate them if they vote the person that they really want to vote for, and if it isn't Obama or Clinton, people will send them hatemail and start to say "down with you!" You know?
I, personally, wouldn't vote for any of the candidates this year, even if I could. Because they all have either something I like, but everything else I hate, or I just plain hate everything they say. They can be real butt-heads, too. The people who count votes and ask for people TO vote called my mother and asked, "May we please speak to the MAN of the house? We think the men would be more interested and would know more, logically, about the candidates." I'm like, uh, hello! You are a sexist jerk! She hung up on them, too. I also checked the company name. It was even the real deal! Please, excuse my French, but what jerks. They think that the females would be less smart than the males. If you read carefully and listen to the calls they send you, you already have your evidence...
That is why I am not into politics. I like other things way better, like animals and treasure hunting. Which is quite fun, actually. You never find anything though, unless you do it right...
You guys should go treasure hunting and use what you find to get money. You could use the money for when you guys are on the run. If you save money, I bet you could go to one of those GOOD panning places, where people have gotten lucky enough to find lots of good stuff, like rubies, emeralds, diamonds, or gold.
I've been to one of the fake panning stations and it sucked because they PUT stuff into the dirt. I have proof. I found a really pretty crystal in the panning dirt once. Guess what it had on it... a freaking "MADE IN CHINA" sticker on it.
How cheap.
Not that I am into money.
Iggy. Please. I swear this will be the last time I ask this. PLEASE! Just please... put ONE recipe you have ivented or cooked, into a post. I LOVE cooking. ALOT. And I have invented a few things, myself. I am doing a project that I MUST do and I decided I wanted to do something Iggy related, because you are my fave although all of the flock are awesome! I must finish this in 2 weeks. PRETTY PLEASE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP!
I BEG OF YOU!!!
Catch out,
Catch
Wow. I can't name one person. I did just move to Florida....anyway that was awsome. I totally agree with you. It's great that a A.A and a woman is finally taking a stand. this will be the best win if one of them does win. I really hope he does. GO OBAMA!
Peace Out (that's whatI say on my blog, tee- hee sorry had to say)
-Cassy
WWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW
i said that cuz when i think about, i cant remember that stuff, and i just took a test on that stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SCARY!!!
LOL!! by-by,
Cara A.K.A. Sun
I think it's great that they're running too. I'm not really into politics, though. Why? Well, because there's nothing I can do about it. I can't vote or run for anything, so I don't see any reason to bother.
~Lothere
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! i remembered!!!! secretary of state is Condolezza Rice!!!!!!!! oh yeah!!! and my mayor is Wendy Van Orman!!!!!!! I ROCK SOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cara, a.k.a. sun!!
Ok. I have a question. I finally came up with one. This is a delimma that supporters of the flock have debated for centuries (ok, maybe not centuries, but a long time). Does Max have brown hair or is she blond?
Heeeeeyyyyy Flock....I have a question...mainly for Max and Angel....Can Angel hear Max's voice too? Because she can hear your thoughts..I just thought that she might be able to hear the voice. Well..I was just wondering...Keep saving the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hillary dropped out and Obama is nieve...go McCain!
I live in Canada so I honestly have no answer to that. But I do know who the mayor is of my town, etc, etc. I'm not a fan of politics, but I do read up on what's happening.
But, thank God you've finally blogged!
I know the president's name. I also know the speaker of the house's name, which is more than I could say for some adults.
Okay so I'll admit I don't pay a lot of attention to politics, but I am rooting for Obama. I have a question though? Since when has the flock payed any attention to what happens in society, particularly politics? ( other than the global warming issue) I didn't know you guys had time for that kind of stuff. Well, I'm glad if you have found enough down time to consider your next president. :) fly on
I was also happy that a black guy had decided to run, but I'm not huge on Obama. (Gets tomatoed by some people) personally I don't like either of them that much.... (gets tomatoed more) I dislike politics really...
I wish we would have less contoversy with the presidential races.
(Small funny things)
McCain: Blinks too much.
Hillary: Can you say Botox?
Obama: Barack Yogama. Heeeeeey Booboo!
Sorry, anyway, I really do like that we've finally gotten less traditional and finally let anyone run.
(More funny)
If Hillary was the president we would haver Mrs. President and the "first man" Mr. President.
If Obama would shave his head then win Howie Mandel could stand in with some makeup and a bit of silicon.
If McCain would win we would know who would be up at 3 in the morning, it would be McCain--going to the bathroom again.
(Kudos to my mum for the Hillary and McCain jokes above, and Kudos Me for the Above Obama joke)
I'm neither Republican or Democrat, I don't really care currently.
PeIcEs!

Ugh, I knew this was coming at some point. I don't know any of my state's political stats. I beleive we're the ones with the governator though, right? Arnold Shwarzenager for California?
Anyway. I couldn't really care less about politics, although I'm quite enthusiastic to have both a black man and a woman running for president. What a monumental year...
Fly on guys, -Flickering_Heart
er um Swarstiagor(I know I am spelling his name wrong) is the mayor of CA(I think)
jeez,,,, where did that come from??? Why are all about politics. haha.
tell me about life?? how ARE you?
mayor of city: Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, governor: Govener Arnold Schwarzenegger, senator: Dianna Feinstein, Secretary of State: Debra Bowen, there are to many state representatives.
Fine, then, Fang! I always love a challenge.
Ha, ha.
Tennessee:
Mayor of my city: Bill Haslam
Governor of my state: Phil Bredesen
My senator: Lamar Alexander
My states' representatives: David Davis, John Duncan, Zach Wamp, Lincoln Davis, Jim Cooper, Bart Gordon, Marsha Blackburn, John Tanner, Steve Cohen.
Secretary of Tennessee: Riley Darnell
And yes, I did use Google, I will admit it. But I did know the mayor and the governor. Cause we have to watch them in those drinking-and-driving ads for school.
And yes, whoot! Woman for prez! But, sadly, she didn't win. Which sucks. Cause a woman should get to run this country for once.
I'm trying to think of what inspired you to write this uber-smart blog...?
*gasp* Fang! Have you been experimenting with illegal substances???? Ha, ha. Just kidding, buddy.
Post again! I love your posts! They're so fun and entertaining to read!
-Peace to the outs

Well I know none of those.
Why?
Well being home schooled we didn't cover much of history. I've been playing catch up ever since. I've never been interested in politics either. The way I see it is that one day if I don't like how they are running things I'll just take over and do it myself ;)
beautiful, powerful words. GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!! i'm Cnadain so, i dont really care but still
I'm not from the states - I'm from New Zealand, so we don't have quite the issues with hugely complicated political systems.
Mayor - Peter Chin.
Member of Parliament - Simon Power (Rangitikei)
Prime Minister - Helen Clark
Leader of the Opposition - John Key
Governor-General - Anand Satyanand
Head of State - Her Majesty the Queen.
Heh. Didn't even have to look those up. Nz's had female leaders in the last ten years, one lasting for nine years in office as PM so far. You 'Merican's could learn something.
Hey Moonstar - You gotta be pretty under a rock not to know that it's Hillary Clinton & Barack Obama (who's now won the democrats' vote) and John McCain for the Republicans.
In the UK you've got Gordon Brown, France has Nicolas Sarkozy and Germany I think still has Angela Merkel. The Aussies have Kevin Rudd, who doesn't kiss Dubya's ass like John Howard did.
I know that. We should all know who's the World Leaders right now.
NZKIT
i can but its different here our mayor is campbell newman our state rep is anna blige and our pm is kev rudd but we have a governor general 2 some lady named quentin brice i live in oz btw
--siAny--
I cannot name any of those things. Except the mayor of the city. His son is in my class.
I agree. But I think O'bama should be nominated. Have you seen the movie 1776? It's so friggin awesome! 8D
Soar on.
~EPod
fang as a politician? ummm...lol. let's see, my gov. is mark sanford, and i probably only remenber that b/c i got to meet him. i'm not sure about anyone else in my state, but i know the candidates for president. it's all over the news. hillary is voting for barack obama now, right?. and isn't secretary of state condoleezza rice? maybe...i think so...
Lov you all!! Fly on!!
AAA (AvianAsianAmerican)
um...we have a senator? I'm not really good with politics...but I'm sooooo in love with Fang!!!
So are you and Max like...a thing now? Cuz if not i'm totally available!!
About the presidential canidates;
Obama- some people are just voting for or against him because of his race. I agree with a lot of what believes and says.
Hilary- same as Obama, but for her gender, or just because they liked or disliked her husband. I'm a girl, but personally don't like her views on a number of subjects. McCain- He's what I would call a "typical president". He, I believe, wouldn't change so much of what's going on.
Right now I think our country is doing just fine as it is and we don't need an impulsive president to change everything (*cough Hilary). So I think everyone should just put their prejudices aside and vote for whose views they think would benefit our country. I just wanted to put that out there.
Oh, and for the government officials, yes I do know them, but this comment is getting kind of long.
Man. You guys are awesome xD
Hey, now I can name my Governor, or should I say Governator! OK, Arnold isn't quite the best politician in the world but, he basically rocks because he was the terminator and he fought the predator. Oh, and by the way, I totally agree with Fang. It rocks that we're showing a little diversity in our political candidates! It is getting a bit old seeing all those white men running our country.
Politics I know nothing about. I wish I did know more... you know? Had the attention span to watch the news, be interested in politics. However, I'm so used to (and attached to) watching other things on TV, going on the computer, or going to the mall/movies... you know, teenage stuff. My generation (lol, my fellow 17 year olds) isn't the generation of politicians, and that's because we weren't brought up to be. I know only a handful of my peers who even know, let alone care, about the political system in-depth.
Sure, we know there is an African American and a woman running for top position (well, not anymore, since Clinton is out), but do I know either side's views (talking McCain and OBama here)? No. So taking a side wouldn't even seem fair from my ignorant point of view! What gets me is that so many adults are just like me. So many adults who are actually GOING to vote and have a chance to sway the ballot! They're voting for a side they can't defend, because defending it would be you'd have to have knowledge of the opinions!
I think schools should talk about it more in class... like require it in a Current Politics class or something. I'd feel like much less of an idiot right about now ;).
And, I have to say the whole of politics seems utterly ridiculous to me. If I wanted to watch a bunch of liars try to make themselves look good I'd watch Gossip Girls or Laguna Beach - at least they're not going to be in charge of our country [shudder].
And I know that was quite a rant, but you asked for it, Fang, and I'm glad you managed to incorporate real issues into your blog for us readers to interact with and consider on a higher level (well, at least I did).
California:
Mayor? I should know, but I don't. I don't pay attention to city-wide politics, mostly just the big kahunas.
Governor? Dang, that's easy. The Governator, Ahnold!
Senator? Either Barbara Boxer or Elaine Alquist.
Representatives... I might be wrong, but I think they're Dianne Feinstein and/or Barbara Boxer (if she's not the senator).
Secretary of State, don't know. I do know a couple, but it changes, and I don't try to keep up every year.
Off the top of my head.
We're not all as dumb as you think we are. And just because a few can't name names doesn't mean politics is lost. It's the ideas that matter in politics, not the names.
Think about it, and don't judge people just because our memory may be bad.
I can tell you what our country stands for at the moment. What the majority of our country believes in. I can't name the whole House of Representatives, but why does that matter? It doesn't.
I know politics enough to know that McCain and Obama are dishing everything out, and that Hillary is sulking for the VP spot. And I know politics enough to know that this is going to be a good race and after everything is said and done, I'm curious as to who will finally win.
So don't judge by the names.
definitely can not name them at the top of my head...why? Um... i dunno. I guess i just forgot...i have a tendency to do that. Totally agree with you on the whole African American and woman running for pres. I'm suprised this didn't happen sooner... they'll definitely go down in history. Personally i think that Hilary Clinton should work with Obama, now that she's out of the race. That would be, like, one of the biggest things to happen since...i dunno, cellphones? Yeah right! Just Kidding. But the whole thing is definitely something to think about... You never know when your about to live through a major major event.
Although...I really couldn't care less about politics...
~Mel
My bad, I misread the post about the Secretary of State, and realized that I did know who it was: Condoleezza Rice.
So, yeah.
Sorry for the double post.
moonstarwithwings is right you should use ecolocation i saw that show to its amazing emagin how good your hearing coold "see"
yo fang, im a new blogger and new to the sieries, but u all rok!!!!!will ther b a book 6????? i need to no. p.s. kik ITEX butt!!!!!!!!!
lu u all!!!
treehugger (seriosly, hug a tree...NOW!!!)
I know most of my reps and governers name etc. I think it's a little over the top. You wanted a reason fang here it is-I am not that involved in the inner political working of my county sate or country therefore I do not feel the need to memorize the names of each member
I am pro-obama but want Hilary to be some part of the government, maybe as a supreme court justice? She is too samrt and has too much knowledge of the inner workings of the white house to just be tossed aside.
The only place to go from here is up. However since the American name is trash is mos other countries I believe we need to work on our own issues. The only way to go is up
A-Law
Also if you could have angel talk to the head honco of the oil comanies and have them lower gas prices. That would be AMAZING. thanks.

ect..ect...
yah... i cant but it is totally true... even though i live in canada, im rooting for obama. can't help but to be freaked out about the rise of the price of gas and bread etc. I hear in austrailia, fruit is becoming so expensive people can't afford to buy it. I've read alot of books, and some sci fi have senarios like this... necessary things becoming really expensive, leading to horribly corrupt governments and new, deadly military experiments... cant help but see parallels... anyway fly on!!!
Bibliophile
I can name my governor... but only cause my dad's always complainin' about her... She is Governor Napolitano (Not sure if I spelt that right... eheh.) Why I can't name the rest? Umm.... probably because I never really pay attention... I'm always too busy with my nose stuck in a book...
I do have to say, it does make me feel proud, though I wouldn't agree with a lot that Cliton and Obama say. It is nice to think that whatever happened before, the poeple of the US have created a place where a black man and a white woman can stand a chance, and more, to become the leader. It's an awesome feeling being a part of that kind of society...
little long..........
arrgh...... my oversensitive eyes hurt!!!!!!!
great blog though!
True, true, all of it true .Whats up with the politics all the sudden? Politics are boring to me most of the time, besides who's president. I'm not much of a word wiz so what does diversity mean? I would like to know how many people have read Maximum Ride books 1-4? It's kinda important because some of us might be spoiling the thrill of the other books for other people. I only know that my state govenor is a girl.
... personally i could care less i know i should care and all but i dont... heck i don't even remember who was president before bush. XD it kinda sucks but it works.
fly on
I know this has nothing to do with the post,and is more about introverts and BPD, but, whatever.
When people lable you as emo, why don't you, like, give a bigger explaination as to why not, that way you would never be mis-labled that way again?
First of all, the best lable anyone could give you is INTROVERT. It fits you way better, look it up on wikipedia. It practicly describes your character, except they don't put in how you have wings and are unbelievably hott, but close enough. Itroverts are quiet, don't talk much, enjoy time alone and in their heads, they do not respond much to external stimuli, so its harder to get their emotions worked up.
Emos,which is usually the abrieviation of "emotinally unstable", in sceintific terms, would most easily be described as someone who is covered in black, and has (or acts like they have) Borederline Personality Disorder. They claim they have horrible lives, even if their childhood was relativly normal. You, Fang,who actaually DID have a horrible childhood, do not complain, you take it. The kids with BPD, blow up, and have an emotional fit when the tinniest thing happens(for attention of course).
But you, Fang, are the opposite of emotionally unstable. But because half of your blog readers are bound to be teenagers who think everything is emo and know nothing about Borederline Personality Disorder, and the whole theory of Introverson/Extroversion, do not understand who your character is made out to be.
Putting the word "Fang" and "Emo" in the same sentance is practically an oxymoron.
Fang= Introvert
not "emo"
Sorry this had nothing to do with the comment, but i was much too lazy to find the post from a million years ago about it.
Good for you for keeping up to date with current affairs!
I live in the UK, but I think I get it.
I wanted Hilary Clinton to win, though.... I'm a feminist like that!
But anyhow...hope the 'Saving The World' thing is going great!
Love,
Lynton xxx
wow that was deep Fang
We're waiting for the result of the Lisbon Treaty to come out later today.
I hope the result is "no" as taxes will be increased significantly and Ireland will no longer be a neutral country. We will have to go to war.
I think there are many downsides to the Lisbon Treaty.
France and Germany were not allowed to vote. They had no choice. Ireland is a smaller country and we can vote so we are very lucky.
I really think that teenagers should be allowed to vote as they're deciding our future because we're younger. We should decide what we want our future to be like.
If the result comes out as "yes" and if there's a war, it's US that will have to go to war, not adults !
I think that teenagers from the age of 16 up should be able to vote as by the time we're 16 we are mature enough to vote.
I've asked my friends and they all agree about teenagers being allowed to vote for their future.
Oh my God, I've been going on for over 10 minutes now.
Wow ! I didn't know I could talk about politics for so long as I'm not that interested in it.
I'm interested in the Lisbon Treaty though as it will influence my future more than the new Taoiseach (means prime minister in irish and is pronounced tee-shock), president, etc. There's a bit of irish for you.
Dia duit (pronounced dee-a-dit) is hello and slan (pronounced slon) is goodbye.
Okay. I better get going now 'cause I'm going on again. Wow ! This must be the longest comment I've wrote, well typed yet !

The Girl Who Could Fly
I can name our governor -- Mitch Daniels (GO MITCH!!!)
I can't name the Secretary of State but I can name the Secretary of Defense -- Condalisa Rice (SHE ROCKS!!!)
I don't know our representatives or our senate here, but I am getting more invovled with the presidential election.
You said that your proud that a African American Man and a woman are running. But since Hilary Clinton has like no money to run her campane people are already throwing her out of the race. So that now people are only focused on Obama and McCaine. And I really don't like either fo them. McCaine does seem kinda old to be doing the whole presidential election thing, and with the War on Terror still going who knows what it will do to him. (I am referring to the before and after math of Lincoln before and after the Civil War. He only aged 7 years but it looked more like 15-20 years. It was because of all the stress from the War and trying to preserve the Union.
Then Obama says that he can bring 5 million jobs. HOW THE HECK IS HE GOING TO DO THAT? Last time I checked 5 million jobs was a lot. To give 5 million jobs factories and businesses would have to be built and aren't people trying to stop factory building to help save the Earth. So that idea seems to have a dead end I think.
Well I have some more opinions but it would take forever for me to write them, so I'll just stop now before I start babbling none stop.
Triple A
I live in the Uk but I was obssessed with the primary race. And truthfully I didn't have a favourite since whether Clinton or Obama, I think the people progressed forward. And even if the Democratic Party isn't elected, all of this still made it historical.
As for your question I can't tell you much about the Senators in most of the States over there, but here I can tell you more about the UK political scene. The mayor of London right now is a man called Boris Johnson, who politics aside, has the wierdest head of hair I have ever seen. Check it out!
cant say that i care much about politics either. all it's serving 2do is corrupt people. fly safe and keep kicking Go-Bot but.

I dont know how many people can name the leaders of there counrty i know for sure i dont know mine well presdent bush is da prez but you get da point right well live in florida but im to wraped up in the sun and my friendz to really want to listen to a press confrance (boring)!!!!!!!!!!! anyway im going to enjoy the the summer and the sun and my frendz while i can .

Please comment on my blog.
I'm doing a couple of polls about Maximum Ride and whether or not young people should vote. I've also wrote a speech (sort of) about the Lisbon Treaty and why young people should be allowed vote.
Fly on forever !
The Girl Who Coul Fly
P.S. Please comment on my blog. I've only got one comment so far and I started my blog about a week ago.
Aaaaah! I have just finished reading the first Maximum Ride Book:he Angel Experiment. Yeah, it 'rawks.' So awesome, so cool. I've been reading it all day and just finished. I hope I don't sound like a freak? Oh well, we need some 'Third World Democracy(so off the topic)' as M.I.A says in Paper Planes.
Cheerio:)
P.S:Where'd you get your hands(ahem, wings) on computer from to blog? Don't you think chickens are cute? They are adorable!
Well really i can't name them all to be honest.
Its just that I don't really pay attention to politics because.... its boring. to me anyways.
But I try to get involved when i can, it is just something that isn't so intersting.....
The mayor is Tony Roswarski, my governor is Mitch Daniels, i don't knoe my senator/state representatives, the secretary of state is Condeleeza Rice (I'm not sure is I spelled that right)
Why are people making such a big deal out of this, we already had two black people run for president: Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. I vote republican.
I LOVE POLITICS!
condoleezza rice is the secratary of state! woo! I only know that one because my parents like to call her Condi. yeah okay that's weird.
I'm not being a bad person, I never would have voted for Obama or Clinton anyway. They disagree with everything I say.
All my friends say don't vote for Hillary- I kid you not- they are afraid of her.
Plus, it's too late, Hillary Conceded.
All my friends won't vote for Obama, mostly 'cause Hillary supports him.
Dude that was deep. I cant name the mayor i know the old one was C Jack Elis.(dude he was freakin evil) governor: heck i have no idea. senator: what is a senator again. secretary of state: what do they do anyway.....is it like a normal secretary.
i should probably know all that crap but i learned it in school 3 years ago and cant remember a dang thing. g2g not care about politics
peace to the outness
fanggirl
Eh, politics. The US has such a screwed up political sysem made of loopholes and fake smiles that I'm shocked people still believe in it.
---Daye
oops its fanggirl again. i forgot to say that i dont know them because i am on the run from mad scientists and flyboys so i havent kept up with politics.......dang it you stole my good excuse.....well really i am just not a big local politics fan.and dont pay much attention to it.
fly on my winged friends,
fanggirl
I know that. Thats what we learn in school. Well thats what they teach at mine. The United States is called the melting pot for a reason. And I don't about everyone else, but I am proud of the country I live in, and am proud of the cultures I come from. Because they are what makes me an American.
Im only sixteen... so i know some of what is going on with the presidential canidates... And here they are.
1. Barrack Obama- He is not muslim as recently thought, he brings the new world into old ideas, and the keep ragging on what his wife is doing, and he wants the public to leave his wife alone. (which is impossible cuz shes on tour with your buddy) Personally i like him the best.
2. Hillary Clinton- Well She was a Canidate until last week when she suspended her campaign. Now they are talking about her being VP for Obama. That would reall be Historic. But I think people are judging hillary because of her husband. which is not right.
3. John McCain- He is stuck in the old ways. And i dont honestly beleive he will be willing to change anything for this country. So to keep the ranting to a minimum. He would be the next Bush.
And Kathleen Sebelius is Kansas's (my home state) Governor. I like her but i know nothing about her.
Bush president (YUck) Cheeney VP i belive. and that is a far as i go.
~Manda
Alright, I have to admit that i have never really taken a liking to getting to kno our government. I only kno that our govener is Janet Nepolatano or something like that and our senetor is John McCain but thats about it. I have just been preoccupied with other things to get to kno who is running our state. But after your post i think i will take that into consideration.
Glad you finally posted Fang!
-Fang, Mudge & Storm
Take a look at our blog sometime!
Hey ppl!!! I my sister started a flock of her own, and I realized I want one too.
If u want to be in my flock, leave a comment on my sister's blog:
www.alphaflock.blogspot.com
Ps. I m a boy.
Well I have no idea so you can't ask me. By the way I hope you guys blog off even more info about that movie. Oh, and tell Patterson that he may want to start now because this movie will be a breaking point of anticipation for over about lets see, 485,524,789,564 people all over the world!
Including me
Chris
I don't know any of the names you wanted to know because I really don't care. I can't vote for another three years, so I don't want to worry about politics until then.
Say hello to the rest of the Flock for me! And can you please tell me when the next book coming out?
not a smeghead
Yeah I can't, 'cause I live in CANADA. we have, slightly different people for our provinical government, and federal government, and municipal government.so yeah it gets a little confusing.
Meggie D
hahaha funny u should bring that up 'cause i do live in the U S and i dont know any of them. that is telling me i need to work harder in social studies! well glad u blogged.
peace
Can't name the mayor becuase I've never even heard of him/her doing anything and I've never heard anything about an appointment of one.
Govonor Grandholm is still in office I think. (I hope I spelled that right.
Can't name representatives or senetors. Never heard of anyone running lately, or winning for that matter.
Sec. of State is C. Rice, right?
I really think Obama is going to win this one. It's a shame that Clinton is dropping out.
I dont know the names of those people and why should i? I'm only a kid y'all and if someone knows those names they have WAAAAAAY too much time on their hands.Anyway peace and love to everyone. (That i like anyway)
Hey

i can't name most of those things, but I do know the Secretary of State of Oklahoma, M. Susan Savage.
I'm not really into state politics, but huge into everything else. It's cool that Obama is going for it, but some of his ideas and stuff aren't that great. I'm kinda on McCain's side.He's not running away from finishing the job in Iraq, which is not a total failure.
The media only wants us to think that, a lot of good things happen too!
i have no idea. why? because i'm just a kid!!!! now, if i was an adult...
You ar sooooooooo right, Fang! While i was reading that, i felt like jumping up and shouting "that's my country! I live there" I'm proud to be part of it, no joke, but i have somehting to say- it's not right that Obama and Hillary ar pulling the odd-man-out card! I mean, Obama is not even black!!!!!!!!! He's carmel!!!!!!!!!
Just thought i maight point that out.
~Jo
P.s.- sorry i haven't written in a while, been.......buissy;)
Yeah! You really are motivational, Fang. I'm gonna go look up my governor now. Thanks for blogging!
i dont know and i dont care!
so ur kind of for obama. i sorta no politics but i know for sure obama or any one is better than bush
Ooh!
Arnold Schwarzzenager guy, Barbara Boxer, and that other lady, and...
That's it...
wow, our last test in school was the Illinois Constitution test. Me and my friends still shout out at random times: "1818!" "Land of Lincoln!" "Springfield!" ect.
So I know some of them...
Mayor: Mayor Daley
Governor: Rod Blagojevich (what a name!)
Senators: Barack Obama and Richard Durbin
Representatives: Ummm, well, there are 14 of them. Mr. L let that question slide.
Secretary of State: Jesse White (My friend always gets him and Jesse Owens mixed up)
Ok, so I got almost all of 'em. I'd say that's pretty good.

You know, Obama said that if it came to it, he would stand by Muslims and not Americans.....it's curious that didn't get any media attention, since Muslims bombed us and all....
He also said that if his daughter got pregnant, he wouldn't want to ''punish her with a child.'' That shows his view on the youth of America.......
He also said that the only people who wouldn't vote for him are ''religious nuts'' who ''cling to their guns.'' If it was pretty much anyone else who said that, the media would have been all over it. If they talked about that half as much as they talked about how much they hated Bush, Obama would not have made it this far....
Hm....
If I were three years older, I'd vote McCain.

For our political election we elect Iggy as being smokin' and Fang as being smexy!
[Mina wants to know if Iggy is single because she thinks he's amazing.]
We are fans of Total! He is the cutest little dude in the entire world [except for Gazzy, of course].
And we envy Nudge cause she is technologically-smart and we are just ... well, us, and we can sometimes not find the shift key.
Angel, of course, is Angel... and Angel is just the most lovable person EVER [even with her freaky mind powers, she is still lovable].
And Max - she's the leader, so it goes unsaid how she rules.
And about the politics part? Um, no clue who like any of those people are. Boys and the flock's blog updates are more important at this point in life.
--Raye and Mina
I honestly cant remember all of those people, but I know most of them. Just can't think of their names.
Fang you r so rite, that this country was bulit on freedom and diversity.

Alright Fang, I'll admit I have no idea who's the senator, state representatives, etc. And to tell you the truth, I really dont have an interest in politics, too complicated for me. And well I kinda don't care, as long as they dont screw up the city or nation or whatever.
Good luck saving the world,
Fly on,

yeah i can only name the governor- Sunny Purdue. but just because you said that i will start caring more!! Yeah, actually, i probably won't, sorry. I just care that whoever is running out society is keeping our planet clean and cares about pollution and stuff. And i hope he reads. But who needs state reps when you've got bird kids to save the world?? No pressure or anything...

Yeah great post buuut--could we please not discuss this stuff?? It gets messy.. btw barak believes in black liberation.. NOT COOL! Just listen to his old paster REv. Wright..
Anyone notice how Obama has virtually no experience?
well fang, i don't think i could do that. i think it's because i live in CANADA. a place you never VISITED. even when a certain someone(*cough cough* Iggy *cough cough*) suggested it. hmph. i just finished book for the 23 time and im a bit miffed that you still haven't visited my home and native land. whatever. im still happy with Iggy for suggesting it though. any whooo. i am writing a song for Iggy.Its called "blind", ironically enough. i will tell you when its finished. i haven't found out how to record it yet. well, got to go. give my regards o the gang. lots of lurve,
Techie
