Do I start my work day by standing on a conveyor belt, going through multiple stations that check my eyeballs, slam my hand down on a scanner, and stick my tongue out and croak "ahhh"? Well, neither should New Yorkers! Or anybody. Got that, BB EYEBALL controller dweeb!?!
[Want an old-fashioned, sophomoric remedy for hand scanners and the like? You do, huh? But it involves dropping trou and a moon...!?! Just don't get me started, here, man.]
Well, tricksy titters. I think I've come across a classic rock band worth heeding to, worth a second & third look-see, a thorough poring over into every nook & cranny. For this is a band that is multi-faceted, multi-purposed and multiplexed. Mind-melded together, this Band of Brothers, POKER FACE and its faithful following, are dedicated to the freedom-truth-patriot community of souls looking to bring our country back to the concept of our Founding Fathers (sans the secret-society baggage). A time when We the People dictated how We the People wish to live and conduct our lives. It's time to enforce our Right to Be Left Alone, unfettered by .governmental interference and control over every aspect of our lives. And all the People said, "AMEN!"
Apparently this attack didn't make the news until well after the assault was made. Funny, the news media didn't think it warranted coverage until after the public made it an issue. The more I read about this, I see red :( grrrrrrrr. The following are links that prove very interesting, IMHO. Especially all the responses to it on the blog. It's safe to say people don't cotton to stuff like this. And, that's a GOOD thing. More coverage below.
What is wrong with people these days? I find it disgusting that the all-male Yale A Cappella Group were attacked and beaten after singing "The Star-Spangled Banner". One fella had his jaw broken in 2 places, for cripe's sake! Another suffered a concussion, and still another had damage to his ankle and abrasions. The 16-member group left the New Year's Party after being heckled and called derogatory names by some uninvited guests. The group, the Baker's Dozen, left after this and one of the uninvited guests called for his backup team of hoodlums to beat up the group members walking home a few blocks away. The group didn't get far, before a van full of young men jumped out and surrounded the Baker's Dozen, then tripped them. Once they were on the group, they were kicked and beaten. Four of the alleged assailants were apprehended at the scene, but were let go by police after obtaining their identification. There haven't been any arrests - and 3 of the Baker's Dozen were hospitalized. This is an outrage!
Way to go, San Francisco!NOT!
And I'm left wondering if the fella whose jaw was broken in 2 places will ever be able to sing again. Does anyone know?
The following is a commentary by Dr. Steven Porter, who nails it regarding why alot of Americans have lost trust in our Leaders. In case your wondering, this is not an endorsement of this candidate ;> It matters not to me a writer's party affiliation (well..maybe a little ;). It's the truth I'm seeking, which happens to lie in all parties to one degree or another ;>
Perhaps it is because I am 63 years old that I feel as I do, but certainly I am not alone. I think that my faith in my government was first shattered not on Friday November 22, 1963 when JFK was assassinated, but two days later when Oswald was gunned down in plain sight of the nation.
The litany of reactions to that event, particularly the assertions of the Warren Commission Report, never sat well with me and, if polls are to be believed, with the majority of American citizens.
Had things stopped there, I would not be writing this, but they did not stop there. What followed was the discredited Gulf of Tonkin resolution and the horrible, divisive war in Vietnam. And then Watergate. And then the pardoning of President Nixon. And then Iran-Contra and the pardoning of Oliver North. And then the election of 2000. And then the invasion of Iraq and the lies about weapons of mass destruction and all of the lost oversight of Congress.
What has accumulated from this history - the majority of my lifetime - has been a devastating loss of faith in the American government by its people. It is not just that many citizens do not believe what the government says; it is that those who have lied to us and/or broken the law or thrown the law in our face have never been held accountable.

Now the following article, Dark Cloud Over Good Works of Gates Foundation, produced mixed feelings in me. On the one hand, Bill and Melinda Gates are doing mighty good works on the planet and on the other hand they are involved with companies and investiments that seem to null & void their altruistic endeavors. It got me to thinking that maybe they ought to right the wrongs environmentally first, then tackle the human factor. According to the extensive research that went into writing this article, it's the bad practices of the companies which cause alot of the unhealthy human condition, IMHO. I'd like to know what others think about it, so dive in (grin).
Inform me if I'm hallucinating, but I thought our congresscritters were all up in a frizzy (frantic + tizzy) over the *fact* that American social security trust fund was about to go bottoms up. Miraculously, over-night it seems, our .gov is out on the street corners en masse throwing $$ chits up in the air like confetti for all the economically-challanged illegal pyranhas at an American Feedbowl! What's up with that? This, recent free-for-allfor people who break laws?? Continued here .
NANCY PELOZI just give her swearing-in speech as Speaker of the House, third in line for the Presidency, and coming right out and specifically pledging to support the NEW WORLD ORDER. I'm just so frickin'......... surprised!
That would have to be me, I'm afraid :( Yes, I'm the Party Pooper - having crashed new Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's Swearin' In Party to take megaphone in hand, jumped up on the beverage table to announce that not all is well in the House of Pelosi. I've stated before here that former Prez Billy Clinton and former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorby-chev were comrades-in-arms in their fevered & frenzied push for globalization and global goverance by the world's elite. Add Pelosi to the mix, along with the other quasi-Americans who are selling us out. (May I suggest John Murtha, who's also in on the deal?)
Pelosi has a role in the controversial $280M, federal-funded Hunters Point Shipyard affair in relation to her alleged role as an investorin a real estate investment entity called Presidio Partners, who's most famous tenant happens to be - you guessed it - Gorby-chev - who, in case you don't know before this time, devised a way to convert American military bases to civilian uses converting the bases over to "global centers for sustainability", just 2 years after he resigned as Prez of the Soviet Union. Now, why would Gorby-chev have this much clout in our country so soon after escapabandoselling out leaving the good ol' USSR? This demands an explanation, IMHO.
This latest blurb on this chicanery can be found highlighted in Dr. Roy's Thoughts .
This, coming from your soon-to-be-bounced-ex-par ty-crasher, PuC, reporting from Dr. Roy's, Canada.
U.S. Department of Justice has approved mobile phone microphone electronic surveillance in criminal investigations by the FBI. These "roving bugs" are supposed to be for use against members of a New York organized crime family (this is just for our eyes only since the mob can't read, right? (/sarcasm)) . Stay with me here.. the FBI came up with this because mobsters are "on to" tailing and wiretapping techniques ...... and want to catch them unawares by their cellphones?! Oh...that's right... silly me.... the mob don't read no stinkin' news!! Sheesh.
How long before they start using their roving probe on law-abiding Americans, I ask?
W goes beyond human decency when he ok's reading Americans' mail. Which he has. When he signed a postal reform bill into law on Dec. 20. W then issued a "signing statement" that declared his right to open people's mail under emergency conditions.
