This is how jaded conservatives are. You want family values from a dude who had three wives and counting.

Apparently Kim is divorced (again?)

PLEASE, someone tell me how this women receives any accolades. What has she ever, EVER, done. Other than having a big ass what does she contribute to society? NOTHING.

Anybody who is a 'fan' is far shallower than her marriages.

If there's ever evidence that the corporate entertainment juggernauts who control all media placate Americans with drivel she is IT.

It seems someone in the background is giving Herman Cain a rough time. It's pretty much a given that there's a whole slew of PIs out there who's sole job is to dig up dirt on other people. Who'd all these ladies by coming out of the closet saying Cain touched them if he wasn't a Presidential candidate? Probably not. But we can't just assume these women are crying wolf. Society too often goes the route of galvanizing the victims in sexual crimes rather than looking the root cause-- demand.

So hopefully Cain gets out of his predicament through clear cut judicial processes. That's unlikely to happen. What will happen is that somewhere behind the scenes there will be a deal cut and then there will be another deal cut, money will exchange hands, and people will be kept silent.

No charges.

But the damage will have been done and there's no way to get around that.

But then again, look at Clinton and his current legacy.....

So who knows what will happen, but you can be pretty certain accusations or not, Cain was never going to win the Republican nomination.

What number are you in 7 billion

2011-10-27T12:07:00.000-07:00

Really cool application that I found on the BBC website telling you what number you are in the 7 billion that now exist on our planet (slightly more at the end of this post)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-15391515

I'm 4 billion something.

Bombs over Tripoli Done

2011-10-22T12:26:00.000-07:00

What a way to go. you have to hand it to the guy, he stuck it out to the end and refused to leave. If that was delusional then I guess he was delusional. Think about this, he could've walked awayw and at least siphoned some of the BILLIONS he had going on . You control a nation's oil for 40 years you'll get VERY rich. The difference is between him and a corporation he was the ONLY ONE getting the cash! Some suggest Gaddafi was the richest man in the world.

Money can't buy you love though.... or safety, or friends, or mercenaries who'll stick by you.......

Tea Party Guns out OWS

2011-10-12T18:08:00.000-07:00

How can the tea party gather in a plot of land somewhere, celebrate by bringing their own firearms, and nobody says boo? But unarmed peaceful protestors are gathered up like swine, beaten, and booed? Something is messed up with this country.

End of Iraq

2011-10-03T12:05:00.000-07:00

Bust started it, Bush went back, Obama took us home. You can put up with Obama trying to help the country. Reduce arbitrary spending on wars where American companies make the weapons, then swoop in to rebuild the war torn country, and then have that country pay via money they make on oil--sold to the usa.

Never ending cycle. No political party is immune. Yes, we create wars for economic gain. Wars are great for th eeconomy. Not because it's better to spend money on war today, but beacuse we can rebuild for billions tomorrow (and have a nation in debt to us forever, just look at AFrica).

It's good to see us go home, but the work has barely begun, and in case any of you care our soliders died for economic gain (a bit of oil) and Iraq is in shambles.

Yes no maybe so for Isarel

2011-09-21T19:10:00.000-07:00

Obama is in between a rock and a hard place. The Republicans are jumping on the opportunity to spread lies and fear about the administrations position on the proposed Palestinian application for statehood and UN recognition. Obama doesn't necessarily support the proposition, but at the same time wants land swaps from the ancient (comparatively ancient, not like 2000 years old ancient) land lines. Not going to happen. Israel won't give up a thing until they are really threatened to lose sovereignty at the hands of the US govt' that essentially props up Israel. That won't happen because of the MASSIVE Jewish influence in the US. So call it what you may, if rockets keep falling into Israel then there will be no negotiating or leeway for Palestinians. That's an easy way to put it for a problem that's far more complex than one blog post or a thousand could digest.

Ever Heard of Ron Paul?

2011-09-03T20:09:00.000-07:00

SNL, they like to do sketches on Republican nominee debates. They usually put ROn Paul somewhere in the parking lot. Of all the candidates that would be good for America and bad for corporate America Ron Paul is the man. Despite his age he may have the best knowledge of what's wrong with the country. The whole occupy movement would be wise to get alondside someone who will represent their interests, for REpublicans he's probably as best as they come.

But then again, if that doesn't work out there's still the Libertines.

Paul, long a favorite of the Libertarian Party, is drawing enthusiastic support from its leaders, who are openly pushing him to consider a third party run for the White House.

Says one report.

On one hand corporate America is pissed, they want wars to create more foreign debt (in their favor). On the other hand, they love smaller government.

BUt does America really need smaller government? Surely there are ways to thin it out. Bush, a Republican, if I need to remind you, used fear to expand the reach of government in the name of security. Ho wmany trillions go into that? That would be something, getting rid of 'security' measures in a time when we can't afford it but want to 'feel' safe.

So let's see what the coming months bring. Can't imagine it will be groundbreaking or innovative, but if it's going to start anywhere it has to start with you.

Economy Blame Dems or GOP?

2011-06-27T15:27:00.000-07:00

Obama has inherited a terrible economy. I should say he's now working with a terrible economy, over two years into the 'new economic' plan America is no better off. In some cases we're worse off.

The debt is ballooning to unprecedented levels as Americans continue to busy themselves in the world's problems dumping billions of dollars overseas forgoing investment at home.

Whomever said wars are good for the economy should look at the decimation happening to the American system. 50% of tax dollars fuel the military.

But I digress.

Are we worse off because of Democrat policy?

Seems that way.

BUt think about it, economies aren't cars that you can stop and turn around. The Americans economy destroyed under Bush (maybe a bit of Clinton in there too for good measure) is like a rudderless cruise liner trying to make a U Turn. I might happen, but it's going to take some time.

Job creation is down, unemployment still high, deb tload in the trillions.

Thinks aren't great, but people still have hope. Hope that new policies, given time, will turn things around for good.

Of course, you're going to need more than 1 term to make it happen. 8 years we'll have to see. Yes, I think Obama is good for another 4. I can't imagine he'll lose to the morons currently vying for top GOP spot.

You're a fool when you think words are greater than action

Hey Todd Akin (R-MO) . Just because NBC omitted 'under God' does not mean they're of the devil or emblematic of a deeper evil.

Ain says, “at the heart of liberalism is really a hatred of God“. I say, "what have you done lately".

AKIN: This was something that was done systematically, it was done intentionally, and is tremendously corrosive in terms of all of the values and everything that’s made America unique and such a special nation.
PERKINS: Why would NBC do this?
AKIN: Well, I think NBC has a long record of being very liberal and at the heart of liberalism really is a hatred for God and a belief that government should replace God. And so they’ve had a long history of not being at all favorable toward many of things that have been such a blessing to our country…This is a systematic effort to try to separate our faith and God, which is a source in our belief in individual liberties, from our country. And when you do that you tear the heart out of our country.

Some so called Christians like to police the airwaves pointing out the power of words.

Who cares? Since when (assuming NBC was the enemy) is attacking someone's expression (in this case a harmless edit) constitute loving thy enemy?

And by the way, the loudest proponents to all things Republican (taxation, social services, immigration, censorship) are the last ones to be contributors to the improvement of their communities.

How about that, so close yet so far. Squeaky wheel that's trying desperately hard to look good but in actuality doesn't do anything.

If you really want to change American don't worry about the media, worry about how well your love your neighbor.

Bombs over Tripoli

2011-03-21T08:32:00.000-07:00

Remember that Outkast song bombs over baghdad? that was around the time of the first second iraq invasion. now it starts again as the US, along with the French and Brits, are trying to stop Ghadaffi from killing his own.

Is this a start of international countries taking responsibility to protect free rights? Or is it yet another ploy for oil?

Also, Is it true that each Tomahawk missile fired costs 1/2 a million dollars? In one hour 55 million down the tubes.... what a way to spend cash....NPR's funding for 3 years in 30 minutes. Fantastic.

Alarming Radiation Graph

2011-03-19T08:31:00.000-07:00

I found this radiation table almost as interesting as the tsunami wave picture in the previous post:

http://xkcd.com/radiation/

Check it out, it depicts all the various levels of radiation we're exposed to all the way up to a nuclear reactor (or at least cleaning up a broken one).

Really puts things into perspective, again....

Wave Photo

2011-03-12T13:27:00.001-08:00

Our thoughts and prayers (and money) are with the Japanese. I'm sure most of you have seen the devastating clips. But how about this photo?

Just shows how insignificant yet connected we really are....

new to the blogging

2011-02-07T10:48:00.000-08:00

picked up this blogspot domain and i think i'll give it a whirl. hopefully my insights about nothing in particular will be insightful. perhaps they'll be mundane musings that merely maintain status quo, but my hope is that in the very least there will be some form of inspiration to change one act in someone's life out there in the interweb.....
