Glenn Beck, Al Sharpton, Playing With Dull Shears - Here Sheeple

Two Comedians, One Location, Double Doody Rhetoric! 


Glenn Beck, Al Sharpton, in the same location fleecing their flocks! Where's Jesse Jackson? And, look at all the shorn sheep flocking to the shears of these two Baaaaad comedians! Do people Really believe the rhetoric that these folks spew in abundance to incite discord in the name of truth and justice? Sheeple really Do exist!!!

Glenn Beck at his finest:


And I say to You Mr. Beck; Respectfully, Go back to the slime pit you oozed from! 


Al Sharpton at his finest:


Al Sharpton; I am so happy you are so supportive of a quasi terrorist organization. PETA's practices in the name of animals are shameful at best! Don't eat Any chicken Al, or any processed meat if you believe in what PETA stands for!  BTW, check the chickens in the video, they all have pointy beaks. I wonder why KFC is being singled out of all the chicken processors in the country?

The Dark Side - Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid!

The Dark Side, what does that mean to you? For most people that instantly brings visions of A Galaxy Far, Far Away, Darth Vader and Star Wars. Closer to home however, that refers to parts of the Internet that most people don't consider or even know exist. For those that grew up when the Internet was just getting started, "War Games" in the movies and "The Cuckoo's Egg" in books were windows into a mysterious and foreboding electronic world where hackers stealthily moved about between ones and zeroes, trying to hack into government networks through the phone lines.

What is a "Hacker"?
"There is a community, a shared culture, of expert programmers and networking wizards that traces its history back through decades to the first time-sharing minicomputers and the earliest ARPAnet experiments. The members of this culture originated the term ‘hacker’. Hackers built the Internet. Hackers made the Unix operating system what it is today. Hackers run Usenet. Hackers make the World Wide Web work. If you are part of this culture, if you have contributed to it and other people in it know who you are and call you a hacker, you're a hacker."

Today, real hackers still move about the internet, undetected, in ones and zeroes but with greater speed and proficiency. Hackers are often mistaken for "Software Crackers", a whole different breed of internet culture and a dirge to software developers and copy right holders.


So, where is the Dark Side of the internet? Do you really want to know and will you sleep at night after going there to investigate? Only You can be the judge of that!

Here are 5 examples of The Dark Side. This is by no means all inclusive however...merely 5 out of to many to cite! And, this doesn't even touch on the threats to our children and youth via chat mediums and social sites which are the norm on today's internet. ( Here is a site all parents should read before allowing their children on the internet )



The Dark Side:

1. Usenet: *Warning* If you choose to go here be aware it Can be a very Bad place if you stray into the "Alt.Binaries" threads.
2. In Pictures: The Dark Side Of The Internet
3. Commercial and Illegal Pornography
4. Freenet
5. Warez

MOPAR = MORE POWER

1968 GTX 426 Hemi Convertible!
 
My ultimate dream machine. Ever since the first time I saw one of these I have wanted to own one. I can only imagine what they will get for this one as it is all original and in pristine condition. The only difference I would like is a manual transmission. Of course some different rubber and rims would be in order as well. Headers, side pipes, Oh the possibilities! And, the speedometer goes to 150 MPH! I am sure it will do all of that and then some!

Okay, I have drooled a puddle on my desk while going through the gears on the open road in my mind! Reality Check!

Truth, Justice, And The American Way - Tracking Superman

Traipsing, Trespassing, Tracking, It's Legal.

So, law enforcement and the Justice Department can come on to your property, place an electronic device on your vehicle, and track your travels covertly without a warrant or any kind of justification what so ever?

David Rivkin, a former Justice Department attorney thinks this is legal. He says that a person cannot automatically expect privacy just because something is on private property.

"You have to take measures -- to build a fence, to put the car in the garage" or post a no-trespassing sign, he said. "If you don't do that, you're not going to get the privacy."

Really David? So I can place a GPS unit on your vehicle while it sits in your driveway and track you when you leave? And you would be fine with that? Or, does that only apply to law enforcement? I don't know where you grew up but where I am from that is trespassing and liable to get a load of buckshot whistling around you if you are caught. What part of Private Property don't you understand David? 

I am all for giving law enforcement the tools to do their job but they also have to follow the rules, not just make up new ones and then take them to the courts for approval. What's next? Placing monitoring devices on phone lines and cable internet access? They are on the outside of your house and according to this ruling, readily accessible to the public unless you build a fence or post No Trespassing signage. What is reasonably private anymore? The interpretation from a legal standpoint is getting smaller and smaller while the rights of the citizenry are being slowly and nefariously trod upon in the name of justice. In this case they got their perpetrator, but at what cost to the average citizens expectation of privacy and liberties? One step closer to a police state or a safer state to live in? You be the judge!

Perception - What a Concept

What is perception? 

Some will tell you perception is the key to happiness, some believe it is an illusion. It truly is all about how you perceive it. Are you able to change your perception of a situation or do you stick to what you perceive to be correct? I believe perception is meant to be shaped, molded into the reality we wish to perceive. An easy task when alone but much more challenging when amongst others that have different perceptions of reality. This is an easy concept to get lost in, pondering your perception of reality. Very therapeutic in a meditative sort of way.


Here are some interesting exercises in perception. Enjoy!

Reality - Make It A Good One!

Web Bot; Myth, Mystery, or Mania?


 How did I get on this subject? It was a long and convoluted route that led me here this morning, yet here I am, contemplating an interesting internet phenomenon. Real or not, I like this kind of thinking outside the box. Society stagnates when to many rules and regulations apply to everyday life. And, while I may not agree with everything that fringes out, I like the fact that people are still able to think beyond the established norms laid down by society as a whole. Most of the worlds greatest minds were labeled as eccentric at best and downright crazy at worst. The only bad idea is one left unexplored in ones mind. 

 On that note I will leave you with these questions to ponder: Was the world really flat until someone dared to make it round? Isn't reality what is left after someone dares to make an idea real?


 Meanwhile, back at the think tank, someone dared the pooch to dream!

Blogging For Billions

The City of Brotherly Love  is Showing Bloggers That Love!

I wonder what other crimes are transpiring under the watchful eyes of Philly's finest? Times are tough though and all that lost revenue from the blogging community has to be tallied and collected for future lining of Philly's Phat fathers! I imagine this is going to eventually set precedent for the rest of us blogging billionaires throughout the country. I am So living high on the hog with all the revenue I collect from opining to my massive following of fanatical fans hanging on my every word, opening their wallets and pocket books to show their affection for my grammatical gracefulness! It was only a matter of time before cities and states found out our nefarious plan to get rich and tapped us for their fair share of the proverbial golden eggs! Nothing like goosing the goose for more juice! And, when the goose is tapped out, they can carve it up for Philly cheese stakes! Nothing says brotherly love like high stakes blogger goose on a bun!

Smile! You're Being Ogled!

How many times are you caught on camera per day?

Worried yet? If you live in a major city and value your privacy, you are better off staying at home to avoid being captured on digital candid camera. After reading the above article, I think their estimate is totally conservative. If you visit a major hospital in the course of your daily travels you can literally quadruple their estimate just by strolling to the information desk. If you spend a couple hours in the mall, your shopping habits are recorded in almost every establishment you patronize. Look up and around for the telltale black bubbles that house the cameras. They are everywhere! Small retail businesses are just realizing the value of analyzing data they capture every second about the consumer and their perusing preferences. Casinos are the leaders in the digital surveillance field and generally have cutting edge technology employed throughout the establishment. If you stop to satisfy an itch in an embarrassing location, do some adjusting when you think nobody is looking, or just discreetly lift a cheek to break wind, they got you in Hi-Def 3-D Technicolor captured and stored in all your digital glory. 
So, when you venture out today to live your daily life, be it random or routine, Smile! You literally Are on candid camera!

Lets Annex Mexico - Make Felipe "Cajones" Calderon Happy

As The Drug War Rages On, Will Mexico Surrender?

It's All the fault of the US and their insatiable appetite for illegal drugs! The US should just legalize all drugs to alleviate this problem for Mexico! All the weapons used in Mexico are coming from the US!
Let's just elect Felipe Calderon as our next President so we can enjoy the drug war and all other ailments of our Mexican neighbors! It's all our fault so we may as well admit it and feel the pain too! Right? Maybe if we legitimize all the illegal aliens in our country and legalize the drug trade, Mr Calderon will have enough votes to get elected President! I am surprised he isn't campaigning already! No Wait, He is! He was invited recently to make his case in congress where he had the Cajones to blame us for his shortcomings and those of his country.
WE need to solve his problems. open our borders to his people, and allow all the fine upstanding citizenry of the drug cartels to set up shop in our country. Wait, they have already done that in our border towns!
Maybe, just Maybe, if Felipe got a handle on His countries drug trade and controlled his side of the border a little better, illegal aliens, drugs, and guns wouldn't be an issue for either country!
I know, it's a Radical concept that would never work. Silly me for stating the obvious!

Choose Your Cheese

Expiring Bush Tax Cuts Weigh On Midterm Elections

There's a lot of scurrying going on in the hallowed halls of Congress over this! It's a game of political Russian Roulette with a poisoned piece of cheese! A nibble here, a gnaw there, they hanker for a hunk of cheese! But, do they get the hunk they are hankering for or, the moldy slab of Limburger laced with political poison? Only time will tell but one thing is for certain, some will nibble, some will gnaw, and some will expire! It's a viscous game and even the wiliest rodents sometimes choose the wrong wagon wheel!

The Anatomy Of Foul Language In A PC World

It No Longer Takes @#$%& To Use 'Foul' Language

Foul language? Just take a walk down a city street and listen to today's youth express themselves! The F-bomb is used almost every other word in a sentence. So, why is "Cajones" making such a buzz? Because it's not PC to neuter the POTUS and have the Cajones to slap them on the Governor of Arizona.

SO....

What is Politically Correct language? And, isn't that term an oxymoron? I mean what is correct in any sense of the words about politics? Politicians spend their whole career learning ways to twist language into new pretzels of "falsitudes" for their political whims. Some of it is even humorous in a twisted sort of way.
I like "refudiate". Whatever my political views may be regarding Sarah Palin, I like the way she views the English language;

"English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!".

Any language is about how well we express ourselves in a way that others can feel and understand. Grammatical Purists will tell you adapting language to better express ourselves is wrong and makes us look less than exemplary. I say to many rules stifle our creative ability to communicate as individuals. Of course if you blather a bunch of nonsensical words together in a crowd and almost nobody gets it, I would say you have failed to communicate in an expressive way All your audience can understand. Somebody, somewhere, however, understands perfectly what you said and wonders why the rest of the crowd doesn't get it. Politicians communicate in a Politically Correct way to express themselves in a manner that maximizes the number of people that "Get It". The ones that don't "Get It" will more than likely vote for the other guy, or not at all.

Where was I? I think I need to go communicate with my Porcelain Throne in a more physical sense than words can describe and anybody cares to know!

Fox E! - Center Stage!

Fox Gets Front-Row White House Seat

"Fox News Channel has been granted a much-coveted front-row seat in the White House briefing room."

Oh Boy! Now the briefing room is going to list more to the outrageous! Literally! My vote was for NPR, for the record. Fox News, in my humble opinion, is not News. It should be Fox-E! for entertainment and viewed as such.

I think Rachel Maddow sums it up best in this clip from one of her past shows:

The Essence Of Optimism

The Logic Of Illogical Optimism



Is your glass half full, half empty, or just right? Does it fluctuate or is it static? Does a leap of faith terrify you or dare you? If I was asked to answer those questions I would say Yes to all of them. Some days my glass is half full, some half empty, and some days it is somewhere in between. A leap of faith always terrifies me but the need to learn more will always overpower my fear of the unknown. Bravery or stupidity? Neither. I have to believe there are no bad or good choices, but rather paths of adventure where we choose to make our own reality by always knowing the choices we make are leading us to our dreams. Adversity and challenge along the way only strengthen our character and resolve, preparing us for new paths that lie ahead. Life is an adventure that requires a leap of faith at every turn to live it to its fullest!

Leap into the future or stay grounded in the past? I'll take the leap every time!




Meanwhile, back at the cliff, the pooch soared into the unknown!
