Republican nomination is a two man race

...but it most likely is not the two men that you've been told, you should favor!
Buddy Roemer and Jon Huntsman are the only two genuine candidates for president. The rest are clowns, that don't have single issue they aren't willing to flip flop on. They spend so much time upside down, it really is a circus! Except Roemer and Huntsman. Who appear to not have a ghost of a chance in hell, because of it.

This party is in total moral decay, and it's just sad to watch.
These are the kind of good men, I could cross the aisle and vote for. So you know there is no chance in hell the Republicans will nominate either of these guys.

On my side, I would have liked to have seen Dr. Dean rise up and challenge Obama. But we're unified behind our administration that will not prosecute bankers, and war criminals! Yay!

999

I do have to admit that all morning I've been laughing that with Cain's 999 tax plan there will be no sales tax on my Rembrandt painting, but you will pay 9% on a loaf of bread.
New goods only?
LMAO

Little is said, because the issue is so simple

Some of you may have wondered if cancer finally did me in or something?
Actually, I'm totally dumbfounded by the Occupy Wall Street protests.
Any time anybody says anything about tax the rich... Out comes the "CLASS WARFARE" club, only this time we're calling your bluff! You want class warfare, you got it jackass!
There are 3 issues:
1 Repeal Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act
2 Reinstate Glass–Steagall Act
3 Get money out of politics. It's one man, one vote! Each Dollar should not be another constituent. Only people talk!

Constitutional Amendments don't have to start in or with congress, the States can hold a convention, and put forward a demand/bill. The founding fathers were smart enough to realized that congress could go so corrupted, that the people themselves would need a way to force reform into the constitution.

We are the 99%!
We want peace/piece.

Who are these mental midgets?

Well, good luck telling the Huffington Post, Dailykos, Think Progress, or Fact Check, that blogging is dead.

Social Media now rules the day. And produces nothing. My Facebook friends are boring, and stupid, and unwilling to rock the boat like they would in person. Why, because printed words are too POWERFUL. We get that mindset from Newspapers. The only thing they do is wave the flag, and embrace conservative talking points. While nearly EVERYONE of my generation is a closet progressive.

Google saw the problem with Facebook, and answered with Google+. A self promotion, personal grouping, more natural way to communicate to your friends. Having used both, I like G+ better, but my friends have yet to find it.

Now let's talk Jobs (Steve Jobs).
Last night you would have thought that the GREATEST VISIONARY / REVOLUTIONARY of the computer industry died. Jobs holds his place, as a great marketeer, but really nothing more.
Apple II was Johny Come Lately to compete with Commodore for the home computer market.
Macintosh was a box built on software pioneered by Xerox.
He did not invent the Internet, he didn't even event a Web Browser.
He did not invent MP3 files, Oggs, or anything else, he built and expensive player and pioneered the self-service downloading.
Next natural step was the celphone. A protected monopoly market, where all he had to do was beat Gates to smart phones, so he teamed up with AT&T. But he did not invent the smart phone.
Next, iPad. Repeat the success of the iPod (an MP3 player) with a new style PC, that requires the purchase of lots of software goodies.
He figured out how to make computers into money pits.
Apple computer is a designer label. And it still holds to that practice and pricing. Was Jobs wrong then? He must not have been, because Apple is still here, while all other brands of computers (except HP) have faded away into history.
No, I'm not a big fan of Steve Jobs, but he gave Apple staying power.

I scream my favorite Chicago Song at people all the time;
I---- just want to be FREE!
I'm an open source kind of guy, and Jobs was never EVER open source.
We are the true bohemians, who lost a great marketeer yesterday.
I hope Apple can continue to survive, I don't know why it wouldn't?
RIP Steve Jobs, your leaching of our wallets is done.

Blogging is dead?

For too many years I have been dependent on Yahoo News. And just this morning I read a headline about ABC News and Yahoo teaming up. Today Yahoo infuriated me with all it's "SHARE reading the news with your friends on Facebook" pop-up ads. My friends on Facebook are mostly my old classmates from High School, not really a group of people that I really value the opinions of- sorry! So I'm not interested in SHARING there, in the brain-pap mill.

Meanwhile, today I can't get away from Conrad Murray, or Amanda Knox. Neither of these people have any impact to my world. They are not even a little interesting to me, but they are being shoved down my throat.

Meanwhile, there are wars and misjustice in the world going unreported. We've become such an Oligarchy that news pablum is all we are allowed to digest. Which is kind of where the blogger begins! Where's the beef? The world is turning, but there are not unbias reporters on the ground, because our rich people just don't care!

Arianna Huffington decided to share a video of her and Ted Koppel talking about reporting and blogging. In which Koppel kept complaining that it was chaos with no editors. And I admit that even this is mostly noise! That's exactly right Ted! But the point is, that I do this for my own amusement not for your enlightenment, as an exorcise of my 1st Amendment Rights. It is a public journal of me being me, and what most irritates me!

I blog, not to be a reporter. I walk with a clear conscience because I express myself freely. No, I don't try to be fair. Life is not fair! We are raised to play fair and by the rules, but life will have none of that shit. Life is not fair.

I was just laughing that someone at Huffpost thinks the same Carlin clip I posted some months ago predicted the whole Wall Street protests. I'm not claiming either! Little people are getting screwed, and lied to! Carlin knew he was going to die soon, when he did that show. Why do you think the set is a grave yard? He went out punching at the establishment, right on his plan!

The trouble is Trickle Down Economics is totally false. Wealth floats, so all the money collects at the top, and NEVER gets redistributed back to the bottom without the power of the Government being behind it. Ironically, without the Bush Tax Cuts, we wouldn't be BROKE and we'd be able to bail ourselves out with a powerful stimulus plan. Now we're looking at something nearly impossible. But with all American Optimism that we're known for, we can do it! Where the world would fail, we can do it! WE left footprints on the moon, Germany nor China did.

So, I'm under impressed with the Wall Street Protests. When you start swarming limousines and turning them over, and burning down trading floors, you'll have their attentions. Otherwise they are Tommy; Deaf, Dumb, and Blind. Good Luck with that!

"See me! Feel me! Touch me! Heal me!"
