I feel like the groundhog

Here it is the day after Groundhog Day. I feel as if I have just been pulled out of a hole to disorienting sights and sounds. Mitt Fucking Romney is going to be the Republican nominee? The Komen Foundation pulled their funding for breast exams from Planned Parenthood, then put it back? The Giants and the Patriots are in the Super Bowl again? Put me back in my hole!

Where Has The Time Gone?

Here we are at the end of 2011. I've been busy the last couple of months. I've been working to deploy new computers and upgrading others to Windows 7 at work. On top of that, it's the holiday season.

I got an iPad for Christmas. I'm not much of a Mac guy but I am loving this machine! It is definitely a game-changer. I have a lot to learn.

One of my New Year's resolutions is to work on this blog more, along with insuring that Barack Obama is re-elected. I don't agree with all of the policies of his administration, but he's a damn site better than the clowns on the Right. God help us if one of them get elected President.

May you all have a Happy and Healthy New Year!

This Is Not A Good Start

I have been waiting for the "next big thing" in social networking. I was told that it would be Unthink. I got my invitation to join with a special code to use when I log in.

I tried to go to the site and this is what I see:

UNTHINK is over capacity. Please try again later.

I've Said It Before And I'll Say It Again...

The Republicans can eat a bag of dicks:

Occupy Wall Street Protests

...are getting bigger every day. That's good.

If the top 1% in this country think they are large now, wait until we are all out of work.

I'm So Excited!

My old friend Joel is coming up from Hattiesburg today. He and another friend, Curtis,and I are going to the New Daisy Theater on Beale Street to see Lucinda Williams. I've been a big fan of Lucinda since her "Car Wheels On A Gravel Road" came out. I can't wait to see her live. She always has an awsome band..

I Believe Herman Cain Is Really Uncle Ruckus

The Media Are Like Junior High School Kids

They jump from one "cool" thing to another. In the last presidential election they decided that Obama was the coolest. Now they are tired of him and want someone else they can anoint as the next "cool" candidate to take him out. They were just breathless over Donald Trump, then Michelle Bachman, then Rick Perry and let's not forget the last two weeks of (will he or will he not run) Chris Christy.

If you don't think the media isn't like a bunch of mean girls look at the coverage of the Occupy Wall Street movement. They fell all over themselves covering the Tea Party that was bought and payed for with Koch brother money but the Occupy Wall Street folks are just a bunch of dirty hippies. Move along, nothing to see here.

PS: Do really think Roger Ailes and Fox News are going to get behind Mitt Romney for president? Who would generate more viewership for Fox,  a President Romney or a re-elected Obama? Money talks you know.

Nice To Know...

...that my congress critters are up in Washington looking out for us.

As far as I am concerned, they can eat a bag of dicks.

Happy Friday!

With everything going on with the economy and shit-heads in Washington not doing anything about it makes me forget: It's A Beautiful World!

The Media In This Country Is Going To Be The Death Of Us All

I was stuck in a waiting room having my tires rotated and balanced while being forced to watch Fox News for 2 1/2 hours. The horror! How can anyone stand it? Isn't is obvious that they are the propaganda arm of the Republican party? What they don't outright lie about they use enough innuendo to choke a horse.

Other news organizations are really not that much better. CNN hosted a Republican party debate with the Tea Party? Jeebus! What's next, MSNBC hosting a Republican party debate with the Klu Klux Klan?

The GOP feels so secure that they are openly advocating for the elimination of our social safety net so they can give more money to the rich. They are telling us this directly every day on our teevee and everyone at home is cheering them on. When GOP is telling you that they trying to save Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security they are lying to you!

Remember PF Fliers Too?

In 1964 Jonny Quest premiered. It only lasted one season. It was my favorite show during that period. Here is an amazing stop motion video of the entire opening theme.

Harlan Ellison

I was reading a post by Driftglass when he mentioned Harlan Ellison. I have not thought of him in years. I used to read everything that I could get my hands on. His interviews on Tom Snyder's Tomorrow show were great. If you want a good idea of how he thinks watch this interview..

Maybe He's Busy

Remember Governor Rick Perry had a super duper prayer thingy a couple of weeks ago? You know, to cure our country's ills and maybe drop a little water down on Texas?

Did Perry ever stop to think maybe God's away on business?

They Are Not Even Trying To Hide It Anymore

Here is Fox Nation's picture and caption about President Obama's birthday party yesterday.

You guys left out "where da white women at?"

Amateurs.

One Of The Reasons I Admire Bill Maher

This is something he says time and again and I can find no evidence to the contrary (and I am paraphrasing here):


"...politicians say 'the American people are smarter than that', They're not; they're morons."

Now That Congress Has Laid That Turd Of Legislation On Us...

They are off on vacation for a month.

Good!

They can do no more harm if they are not in Washington, right?

Wrong! They can go on cable news and yammer on about what the 'merican people want. Which is not what we want.

You know what we really want? Economic security. Not tax cuts for rich people, not wars, not more corporate welfare. We want to be able to know that the job we have today will be there tomorrow. And if that job were to go away we want to know that another one will be out there if we want it.
