Welcome to the blog cleverly titled, ”We Can’t Agree on a Title – Go Figure.” In all reality, we spent approximately 45 minutes trying to think of a clever name for our blog that would explain that how different we are from each other. After a few moronic suggestions from Amelie, including “Left Loosie and Righty Tighty” and some quite intelligent suggestions from myself, it was clear we wouldn’t see eye to eye. Instead of spending the next 10 years debating the title of our blog, we settled for this title. Ironically, there really is no better title than the one we chose…
Now for introductions… My name is Aisling Cullen – I am a far-right conservative, I believe in the right to bear arms, I support the war in Iraq, I have a BA in Journalism with no intention of using it unless the media stops being a liberal whore, I voted for Bush, I’m a huge McCain/Palin supporter, I don’t believe in killing babies, otherwise known as abortion, however I split with my party when it comes to gay marriage rights which I support, I believe in working hard for what you have and I do not believe in giving others a “piece of my pie” because they don’t have a work ethic, I believe in God, bi-partisianship, and that chocolate is good for your health. Oh, and I despise Barack Obama and am 99.9% convinced that he will destory our country if he wins this election.
Amelie and I are extreme opposites when it comes to politics and life in general. However, we do agree that chocolate and alcohol makes people happy, that our cats are our children, and that pizza is always an acceptable meal. For instance, I’ve been in a long term relationship for 4 years..while Amelie’s longest term relationship at the moment is the Rocky’s Pizza she’s had in her fridge for a week. I’ve grounded Amelie from dating (more on that later) until she can sucessfully stop breaking the hearts of poor guys and she has (unsuccessfully) grounded me from shopping. We both work mindless, entry-level jobs.. and spend most of our days sending each other numerous articles from CNN.com and debating politics. Amelie thinks I hate polar bears, I think she eats babies. This blog is a place for us to show the rest of the world the humor they are missing out on when they avoid their political and/or moral counterparts.

A little bit about me:
I am a recent college graduate with an English-Writing BA and a minor in philosophy. I have been questioning the way things are run in society since I was twelve, holed up in a library reading Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. I am a strong supporter of the environmental movement and feel that being conscious of our planet is the only way that humans will survive on it for an extended period of time. I live in a liberal city and have liberal friends. I vote democrat when it is necessary and green when it will actually effect something. I am single and tend to inadvertently play men more than I actually fall for them. I plan on returning to school for my M.F.A. in Creative Writing in the fall of 2009. I will then become a professor.
Aisling and I met while we were both enrolled in the same undergraduate institution. We are polar opposites when it comes to voting, values, and men. We bonded because of our pets and our love of knowledge (and alcohol). At the small university we went to there was not much intellectualism around, so even though our viewpoints were different, our intelligence brought us together. We united on a front against the ill-advised and poorly written newspaper that was published on our campus. She has a degree in journalism (a sellout English major) and we both cannot stand grammatical errors. Although we are totally different, we both hate ignorance in any form. Aisling is wrong most of the time, but at least she isn’t ignorant.
I hope you enjoy our blog.
