Bio
Just look at us. Everything is backwards, everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, psychiatrists destroy minds, scientists destroy truth, major media destroys information, religions destroy spirituality and governments destroy freedom.” ― Michael Ellner ----------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- "We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during these years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government... The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." - David Rockefeller, Speaking in June, 1991 meeting in Baden, Germany"---------------------------- -"The scientific community would come down on me in no uncertain terms if I said the world had cooled from 1998. OK it has but it is only 7 years of data and it isn't statistically significant." - UN Scientist Phil Jones to scientist John Christy July 5th 2005--------------------------------------

The Village Idiom

One of the coolest things about the internet is you can make friends with people all over the world. But it can get frustrating at times trying to explain American culture. Like telling them that the Minutemen were revolutionary soldiers, not a support group for premature ejaculators. Or that Jiffylu… Read full post »

Ahead of the Pack

I wish there were more Roy Rogers around instead of all the Burger Kings and McDonalds and the meat substitutes they call food. There's one in the Allentown rest stop, so I grab a burger on the way to NJ, with tomato, salsa, ketchup and BBQ sauce. Which rules.

And not

Here's a new song that sounds like an old song.

Life Without HMO Death Panels

I don't know why people think the government couldn't go between medicine and patient for less money. They could do it at cost, whereas HMOs do it for profit, while the only service they add is deciding who lives or dies, increasing profits by denying people coverage, because employers don't have… Read full post »

I loved Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire but after hearing that director Danny Boyle got two of the kids from the slums of Mumbai and gave them 500 and 1700 pounds depending on screentime is obscene.

The film wound up with a $141,319,195 box office in the US, and one of the… Read full post »

Why We're Doomed

Because 90% of the people discussing issues are too lazy to investigate them, other than read blogs and listen to soundbytes and rhetoric.

I mean, does anyone actually have any idea what any of these health care plans entail, or are we all satisfied with debating the worth of sound… Read full post »

What the Little Lady Thinks

A foreign journalist asked the Secretary of State what her husband thought about an issue, which set her off.

And I can see her point. Who cares what an ex president thinks, she is the one in position to effect change. That was an inappropriate and insulting question.

Now for… Read full post »

Single Payer Plans

I'm getting to the point where I'm about ready to accept a single payer plan. Medicare for all. Why, you may ask would someone who's gone 25 years with no coverage, not be in favor of it? I suppose my objection has been the 50 trillion dollars in unpayable Medicare/Medicaid obligations… Read full post »

Health Care, War and Wall Street

Obama passed the 200 day mark this month, continuing the onslaught of change he ran on. Now we're not just in Iraq but Pakistan as well. We're still shelling out trillions to Wall Street, with the Fed and Treasury putting out 12.8 trillion for the recovery according to Bloomberg, but with… Read full post »

The End is Near

I'm getting really tired of hearing all the end of the world prophecies for December 21, 2012. People thought the same thing about 2000 and we're still around.

Fine, the Mayans were advanced for their time, but I refuse to base my life on the predictions of people that worshiped corn

Bad Bills

Here's yet another Orwellian measure to look forward to so they wouldn't just have camps to put undesirables in, they could cut Americans off from the rest of the world's internet the way China does:

The Overpopulation Problem

The world population is supposed to reach 7 billion by 2011. That's because parents have more kids while their others are still cute and do what they say.

If you want to lower population, make them look after a teenager for a month so they have realistic expectations.

I ordered a movie called, "The Corporation" which is an interesting documentary from 2005. It makes a lot of good points, exposes a lot of problems, corruption, concerns about the future.

But when I hear people talk about "Evil Corporations" it still reminds me of myself in my teens, complaining abou… Read full post »

Comments are now closed for this post.

These show some of the downsides of coporations. I'll add them as I go through the movie. Of course there are two sides to every story. Almost everything we have, use, is a result of corporations. Just about all inventions the past 100 years. What are we using that… Read full post »

Supreme Court

I see the confirmation over the Supreme Court justice is tougher than I anticipated when Sotomayor was first announced. An article said the rift was more over ideology than qualifications, but all supreme court confirmations are. Didn't anyone say Bork was not qualified, or they didn't like his opini… Read full post »

Romeo

I don't see why movies have the author's name in it, like "Bram Stoker's Dracula" or "Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet."

What is that suppose to distinguish them from, "Danielle Steele's Dracula?" "Stephen King's Romeo and Juliet?" Read full post »

Kilts, Pipes and Dinosaurs

I actually sat through a show on the Loch Ness Monster again. I would like to believe it as much as anyone, but they've already admitted the 1930 photo was a hoax.

Real Time

I saw the latest Real Time. Very good show. I don't know why Queenan thinks the Dow Jones is the end all of economic standards.

We have almost double digit unemployment for the first time in over 20 years. The economy is generally based on Sales, Profit, Jobs which create sales,… Read full post »

Full House

Tonight, on a very special episode of "House," Hugh Laurie and cast try to solve the mystery of the motocross rider with sore testicals.

"I don't understand. Your MRI looks ok."

"That's because I don't land on my head, Einstein."
