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!
