Gabriel Iglesias - Hot and Fluffy
This is a must see if you like stand-up comedy. For one hour, comic Iglesias takes the viewers on a fun filled adventure that will leave you in stitches. While there is some sexual inuendos and some harsh language, it is not the raunchy comedy that some artists use.
Give it three out of five stars.

Democratic Meltdown
Being an independent/republican, I have to throw a little focus on the Democratic process going on right now. Much to the pains of many Americans, there is going to be a Republican president in 2009. Clinton's inability to admit some semblance of defeat is going to cripple any hopes for a Democratic President. Clinton has vowed that she will not quit her bid for President. If she does not get the Democratic nod, I can see her trying to ride an independent bid for President, underhandedly crippling any effort for Obama to beat McCain as she will draw much needed democratic votes away from Obama. I am not saying that the democratic or republican party has a hands down victory come November, but the simple fact is, if Clinton sabotages the election by not admitting defeat, she is helping McCain.
And the fact that a democratic senator from minnesota endorses Obama in one sentence, and then tells Clinton to stay in the race in the next breath, shows the intelligence level of democrats. Maybe there is more to the fact that both rednecks and democrat have seven letters each.

Driving
I think I have always had a problem with this "type" of driver, but today it was the straw that broke the camels back, and you will all figure out who I am talking about as soon as I correct there behavior. To all of these drivers -
1. Hang up your cell phone, or get a hands free kit. If you can afford the cell phone, you can afford the hands free set, you can get a decent wired one at the dollar store, or you can get a bluetooth one for no more than thirty dollars.
2. You are hurtling close to a ton of metal and plastic at speeds upwards of 30 miles per hour, having said that, sit up, and put your seat in an upright position. I am tired of seeing drivers laying down while driving.
3. Tinted windows - completely unnecessary, suns in your eyes, get sunglasses. I own several pairs and they all work great. Tinted windows do nothing but promote illegal behavior, like laying down while driving, and talking on your cell phone while driving.

Smoking, a dirtier habit.
This has really been eating at me, we all know that smoking is a dirty habit, and everyone would be better off quiting. How about a dirtier habit - the people who walk down the street and take butts out of public ashtrays - with the intent on smoking them. Nothing like dipping your carcinogen into a little hepatitis before you smoke it.

The wine-r list
I love a great glass of wine and will list my favorites as I drink them! Feel free to give me any suggestions to try! I prefer something that is not really sweet, but yet at the same time is not butt puckering dry. I will try just about anything though.

Just a Few Little Things to think about as you hustle through the bustle of life....
Five lessons that can help you in life......
1 - First Important Lesson - CleaningLady.
During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.
"Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello."
I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.
2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain
One night, at 11:30 p.m., an elderly African-American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 60s..The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab. She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached..
It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away... God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others."
Sincerely, Mrs. Nat King Cole.
3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those who serve.
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "Fifty cents," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled is hand out of his
pocket and studied the coins in it. "Well, how much is a plain dish ofice cream?" he inquired.
By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient.
"Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins.
"I'll have the plain ice cream," he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies..
You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.
4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Path.
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the
peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much
pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he
noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand!
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.
5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts...
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will save her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his> face grew pale and his smile faded.
He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away".
Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.
Think of these little stories next time you feel inconvenienced by someone.

new poll
As we said, we arent all serious political and newsy here at the mit and sej show, so to show our lighter side, were going to poll the disney cartoon meet the robinsons. Let us know what you think the best part of the movie is.
Definition of A Veteran
A veteran is someone who, at one point in one's life, wrote a blank check
made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and
including my life."
That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no
longer understand it. (In no way am I implying that Sej has a problem with soldiers as individuals, she respects and stands behind their decision to enlist. What she is against is the war and the administrations foreign policy regarding Iraq. I, got this little quote in an email and thought it was fitting to my point.)
The 4,000+ brave men and women who have answered the final roll call in the sky made this vow, that they will allow the United States of America to cash that check in order to protect the freedoms that we all hold dear.
I just read an associated press article that discussed a speech given by McCain where he related that both Gen Petraeus and bin Laden have called Iraq the central battle ground between the United States and Al Qaida. Even if we call into question the motives for starting the war in Iraq, isnt it better that we have armed and trained soldiers fighting the terrorists, instead of allowing them to target innocent civilians and families? I think increased media coverage of the war has humanized the american warrior, someone designed to bear a burden that not many could carry, calling society to question their [the soldiers] actions and bringing their somber, personal ends into the publics eye.
Many forget that those 4,000+ individuals were part of a volunteer army, no one forced them to enlist.

US Death Toll Reaches 4,000
Really, are we gonna focus on 4,000 deaths in a war over a five year period? That is less than a thousand a year. There are more violent killings in the continental United States every year than that.
And put it into perspective, world war II, there were almost 300,000 American soldiers killed, we almost hit 4,000 during Operation Overlord alone.
And I know what the comeback to this one is already, and thats why I have to smack this post down, Iraq is an unpopular war, World War II wasn't. Well get the facts straight, in a recent 60 minutes interview the top FBI interrogator in charge of questioning Saddam revealed it, Saddam may not have had the weapons of mass destruction, but he continued the ruse of having them in order to stay in power. He brought the war on when he attempted to "scare" off any would be invaders.
I applaud McCain for telling it like it is. We should stay in Iraq as long as it takes. We wouldn't have become the United States is we backed down. Pull out of Iraq before the job is done and you will have the PKK, Al Qaida, and every other muslim terrorist setting up a headquarters in Iraq. The once proud cradle of civilization will run red as the new cradle of terrorism.

US Death Toll Up to 4,000
Ok people, according to MSNBC.com the death toll in Iraq for U.S soldiers is up to 4,000. Day after day people are dying for the neverending "war" that has been imposed on us. Young adults will not be living the full life that was intended for them at birth.
Does the administration care? Probably not. They are just using these kids as a mean to no end.
McCain says that if he wins, he intends on staying in Iraq as long as it takes. As long as it takes for what??? Stability? Peace? Well seeing as there is no end in sight after 5 years...maybe its time to move on. Just my opinion.

P.S: Vote Democrat!!

Movie Review
Reign Over Me.
I am normally a fan of people staying within a genre that they are good at - for example normally I would tell Sandler to stay in comedy. I am also not fond of movies that prey on human emotion, which could have been accomplished in this movie by rehashing raw emotional footage of 9-11.
Kudos to the writers and producing teams that pulled this one off. I am impressed with the outcome, and the means to the outcome. No ones problems were solved outright, but the paths were there for the choosing.
I give it three and a half out of five stars.

War for Oil?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/14/AR2008031403677.html
Im gonna really get Sej going with this one right away. I was checking the news and I found this nice little article. Another democratic slant that is trying to economize the Bush administration and their decision to go to war with a terror state. If we went into Iraq for oil, where is the benefit? We now have the puppet government of Iraq and their oil output in our pocket, and yet it still costs me thirty to forty dollars to fill up my little car so I can drive to work. If the war was about oil, it should be costing me less.
Just another democratic attempt to devalue the Bush administration. First they targeted the supposed weapons of mass destruction angle....when they couldnt get blood out of that stone now they turn to the oil angle...I think I would rather watch Keith Olberman while having my molars drilled than listen to any more attempts to justify the Iraqi war, other than the fact that Saddam Hussein was an unstable force in an already unstable region.

Ground Rules
Laying out some ground rules for The Mit and Sej show.
1. Our parents don't hate us. Our names really are not Mit and Sej; were in this to have some fun, and see what real people think about everything. We also have professional careers and don't need the fun we have on this site to conflict with our careers. At no time will we give out any information regarding our real identities other than our opinions. If you can figure it out from there, keep it to yourself.
2. No topic is off limits, however as previously stated, we are professionals, and we will not subject anyone to nor want references to illegal activities.
3. While no topic is off limits, we will attempt to abide by certain rules of netiquette. Having said that, this blog is highly opinionated, if you dont like our opinion, read someone elses blog.
4. As much as we like to think we are right all the time, we arent. If you can prove us wrong, let us know. But I have to warn you, if you are going to air it out and step up to the plate, you best be swinging your A game because we will throw everything back at you.
5. Have fun. Life is too short to be freaking serious all the time.
6. While we appreciate opinions, please avoid racial, homophobic and other potentially disruptive and disrespectful posts. If you are going to make a comment regarding something, make it educational, even if it is a non-serious topic.

Mit & Sej
Getting it going
This is how we roll. We are friends who enjoy debating anything. If there are two points on a topic, rest assured we are both gonna occupy different standpoints. Very rarely do we agree on anything, and thats why were friends.
Have a topic that you think will peak our interest and get one of us hot under the collar? Email us at mitset@gmail.com and let us know. And then check back and see if your topic made the list! It doesnt have to be serious! But I will warn you, we are both synical and will make fun of you if we deem it necessary. Sarcasm also runs deep between the two of us, so if we do poke fun, thats all it is. Since there is only one email address, if you have a message for either of us as individuals, make sure you make it known in the subject line. It will get read by both of us anyway.
It will take us sometime to get a rhythm going, so bear with us through our initial growing pains. So in the meantime, dont forget to spay and neuter your pets, and vote Republican.
