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!

Poor boy

Mitch Daniels; "Obama grew up so far from wealth, and business..."
I guess in Hawaii they still make their own grass skirts, and grass huts. They're cute, but not worth anything. And a Harvard Law Degree isn't what it use to be!
lmao

A HUGE RETHINK

We have become such a JOKE in the world for our ease in manipulation and political spin, that the Israelis have taken it one step too far! I never thought I would turn on Israel, but the charges they have made against the Obama Administration ARE WAY OVER THE TOP!!! Clearly their extremists are trying to BUY our extremists! DON'T YOU DARE FUCK IN OUR INTERNAL DOMESTIC POLITICS UNLESS YOU ARE READY TO BE "THROWN UNDER THE BUS!" Like the shithead sewer rats that you are! I had better start hearing some sane voices from within the Jewish community, or it's over: Israel is on it own to solve ALL it's problems! How dare you turn on the only thing that secures your existence at all? It is not smart to bite the ALPHA dog, it's down right stupid, you tiny pimple on the butt of nature! Old racist jews are not the people to use as your spokesmen, we are not THAT STUPID!

Footnote: I am not out to change any opinions. I am but a reflection of popular opinions in the USA. Understand that when you loose the message to me, you loose thinking men all across the country, not because of any of my influence, but by your own actions! During a time of great polarization, don't mess with our fight, both sides will turn on you, little sister!

The Boy who cried 'Wolf'

We all remember the story, of the boy who thought it was funny to work up the village by crying wolf. And after a few times, people stopped listening to him, and he was eaten by a wolf.

That's bullshit tale we tell. Facts are, that those responders have to respond every time the boy cries wolf, even when they know it's a hoax! You absolutely must respond every single time, or more than the boy might get eaten. And that the truth in life.

I see President Obama has gotten tired of the mantra "Class warfare", when ever taxes are mentioned. And like the boy crying wolf too many times, he decided to come out and respond by kicking some ass! Thank You, Mr President.

A New Republican Anthem

Everybody sing along;
I HATE everybody and everything!
I HATE everybody and everything!
I HATE!
I HATE!

I HATE!
I HATE!
But Jesus loves you!

Listen to the audience of the Republican debates; When they gasp, and when they hoot. It's all about hatred. Not just for Obama, that would be politics. They hate science, they hate reason, they hate logic, they hate everyone that doesn't look like them or sound like them, they are not over their BLOODLUST, and desire for revenge. They are servants of the Devil, just agents of destruction and hate. And these spineless creatures (debaters) are their champions.

For Cancer

Michelle Bachmann decided to attack Rick Perry based on mandating a cancer vaccine for girls. Are you kidding me? That the same as saying "I'm PRO-CANCER, because Jesus has a plan for these sinners!" Oh yes, it is! Don't you argue with me about it, because this TRUE! We're talking Cervical Cancer. And anything involved with a cervix has got to be sin. God wouldn't infect good girls! (Well, in your dreams). I believe that it's immoral (a sin) not to take dominion over all health issues, it's all part of man's mandate. But some people like to start the Bible with curse, rather than a promise/mandate, to take dominion over all things that creepth upon the earth.

My worry is that whenever Religion moves into Politics, a whole bunch of people aways get killed. And here we go again. People are going to suffer CANCER because a few anti-science airheads are afraid of God's wrath for doing the right thing?
