America would not be if it weren't for cowboys. These swashbuckling heroes aided in the evolution of our country in ways greater than the invention of the lightbulb, railroad, and iPod combined. "How?" you ask, "Aren't our nations cowboys thieves, murderers, and scoundrels?" Nay.

No matter what style of clothing you decide to wear being subject to some giant fashion generalization is as unavoidable as dropping your iPod.

America can't function without Presidents. Hell, most people can't function without some inkling of a President's superiority cradling their lofty, fragile desires. For many, a President's religion must be as much a part of them as their wake of mislead and broken promises.

It's late afternoon in Ashland, Kentucky. Temperatures skyrockets as people flee for the inviting safe haven of an air conditioned room or perhaps a shadow casted from the nearest tree. Mouths are parched behind dry lips while a man steps into Shamrock Liquors.

We all know that there's always "big" news overshadowing news that should truly be the top story of the day. The celebrities come out of their mansions long enough to screw their lives up badly enough to make the front page.

It's over. Finally, truly, and subtly over. The high school chapter of my life has closed with the slightest flinch of a page turning, never again to be read for the first time. From now on there are only incomplete sparknoted summaries on what was and what could have been.

You: What?! Not voting? How dare you! Why do you hate America? Teenagers are communists! Me: Woah woah slow down turbo. Read the satire tag and let me explain myself, we can talk about this.

Ok. You're sitting at home, at work, at school, while the breaking news comes flashing in from websites, newspapers, or the Paul Revere wannabee running down the streets. "The United States, in a preemptive strike, has invaded Iran to find X, to destroy X, to install X".

Everyone in the world knows what Ansab and I have up our sleeve (except our school administration) but in the rare event that you are unaware, I'll bring you up to speed.

It's a nasty habit. It's a chronic disease. It's the slingshot that topples the giant. It's the "low gas" light that flashes when you're still miles from home. It's a lecture from your parents. It's the C- when you were expecting at least an B+. It's horrible.

It happens every year in Spain but no one cries out in displeasure. As the warm summer breeze of July sweeps through the towns the anticipated fear swells. The clock blinks eight and their shoes get laced. "Will today be the day?..." they ponder.

Isn't he the cutest baby you've ever seen? I just want to watch him eat some bamboo all day long. I bet his parents are so proud. I know I would be proud if I gave birth to such an adorable panda.

Last night I published an article that was received this morning with pitchforks and cries to run me out of town. Perhaps they thought that Keld and DNR had a secret teenage son and that I was prepared to accept my role as Newsvine fire-starter.
