Ballad of Jude Connors
Jude Connors
Standing in the dock at Southampton,
Trying to get to Holland or France.
The man in the mac said, "You've got to go back".
You know they didn't even give us a chance.
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're going to crucify me.
My last article netted me a Top Ten article for only the first time ever with 214 votes. Maybe the new subscribers can help me meet the Top Five soon. Hell, only 700 more before a MEDIA MONGOL award. Tell your friends to subscribe!

As most of you know, I RAGEQUIT in my last article, TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS. When I wrote that article, I had quit. There was no doubt in my mind that my days were done. Some people miss the point. The article was a vent and a testimony of why I was doing what I had decided to do.
92 Comments later, I was astonished at the amount of attention this got. People I know and people I do NOT know were voicing their opinion one way or the other. Pretty amazing to see the community do something... anything... especially rally for or against me playing the game.
Phone calls from friends in this game including PigInZen, numerous text messages, multiple new friend requests, an inbox full of messages in game, IRC chats, and USA Forums have made me reconsider how much I DO enjoy playing this game. The fact that so much emotion and passion was displayed amazes me. Even my old IRC buddy Pauly Walnutz commented; in what is one of my favorite posts.
I want everyone to understand that I am not attacking Bradley Reala. I am happy to know exactly what type of player he is for further reference, and I am sure that neither he nor I intend to be friends anytime soon. I did not post our chat log in the USA Forums in an attempt to smear him, but to prove to some people who thought I was lying. That being said, I do look forward to future interactions with Bradley Reala. At this moment, however; I am more than ready to move on. I am sure he feels the same.
All I can say is thank you... I will continue to play... and I will move on from this as though nothing happened. I will continue to run the USWP, I intend to continue in the world that is politics, and I will continue to work with those in government that allow me the privilege to do so. It would be nice to see this kind of activity and passion for a common goal though. Imagine if we were this heated when we took on eUK!
Also, luckily I got some of my stuff back!
Re-Elect the Working Hippie!!!
Members of the United States Workers Party gave me the privilege to serve as USWP Party President for the past month, and I ask that I be given that same privilege once again. There was much accomplished, but there is still more to do. All party members are encouraged to make sure they check the USWP Forums daily to follow along. I also invite people to the USWP Chat on Rizon IRC (#uswpchat).
Let me continue the work I have been doing.
Jude Connors - California Congressman?
While I am talking about elections, I might as well let it be known that I intend to run for Congress in the fortress state of California. Being a victim of a retarded sniping campaign made me re-evaluate how I want to get in Congress. Now, let's see what will happen there. Who knows? If I do well in California; what could the future bring?
But why do I think I am qualified to be a Congressman? Here's a list of prior experience that makes me believe I deserve to be in Congress... again:
USWP Party President - Currently
USA Secretary of the Interior - Dec 09 - Mar 10
Co-Director of USA Welcoming Committee - since November 09
USA Congressman - Sep 09 - Dec 09
White House Director of Human Resources - Oct 09 - Nov 09
Lieutenant Colonel; US Army - retired

So Sorry
Astra Kat G has removed me from her friends list. I'm sorry, Astra. It was ONLY a joke. Anyone who thinks she should be my friend again should Click Here.
The men from the press said, "We wish you success,
It's good to have the both of you back".
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're going to crucify me.

PigInZen doesnt even text me! Niiiiice.
Jude, you proved in your (very public) argument with Bradley Reala recently that you have no bones, indeed may even delight, in IRC chat logs "revealing the truth."
I have sent, and will continue to send, a screenshot I made of your "joke", along with a short explanatory message, to anyone you manage to get to mass-mail me on your behalf.
I didn't read whatever you said to me in IRC privately right after your incredibly inappropriate comment, but if you were truly repentant -- or at the very least, understood why you shouldn't have made the comment in the first place -- I think you would've sent me a mail yourself instead of convincing others to do it on your behalf AND make this private affair public (by shouting it when I defriended you and publishing this article).
I'm glad to see that you are staying. Also I had to change the message as I did not agree with the text of it 😛
Astra Kat G:
I knew about the copy of the chat for hours now. It is a shame that you cannot just accept my apology and move on, but oh well. Maybe some day soon.
I just think it is a shame that you can't move on. Even I am moving on from my issues with Bradley Reala.
Oh well.
🙂
Sucked back into the game I see...
It's an addiction that is hard to beat.
Reminds me of that recent cracked article written by that one Chinese guy.
Voted!
I took my loved one out to dinner
So we could get a bite to eat
And though we both had been much thinner
She looked so beautiful I could eat her
Well Well Well Oh Well

THIS PLEASES ME
boated for great justice.
I love you! voted.
Jude, did you actually send an apology to Astra Kat? We all say inappropriate things sometimes, the important thing is how we apologize.
And this is probably better handled privately.
>Jude, did you actually send an apology to Astra Kat
He apologized AFTER setting all this up. After I'd already gotten letters from about ten or eleven people.
WE LOVE YOU JUDE!
Message sent. Now get back to work.
good luck
viva la france ? lol?
