Doing More With Less Since 1972

I Feel Bad For You Son

A posted this a while back in a longer post over at that other place. Looking back, I think this graph which illustrates Jay Z’s problems is my favorite part of the whole post, and I can’t even take credit for it.

As you can see, “fools” and “foes” seem to be the two major stress points. We’d be wise to take note and do our best to avoid both whenever possible. The bonus is that doing so would leave us more time to deal with paparazzi, riffraff, and critics.

Well Lefty Blogosphere?

Here’s your chance to show you aren’t hypocritical. Blue Collar Muse has posted the contents of an email that he says was sent while the whole brouhaha from yesterday was occurring–this time from a Tennessee Democrat staffer.

Are we going to see some outrage here?

Some have stepped up already, others are saying in the comments that they will wait until a name is released. I definitely won’t hold my breath waiting for some national attention.

My position remains the same…how stupid do you have to be? Really?

I thought we’d moved past blatant stupidity in this country, especially after yesterday.  😀

If you were to follow the line of logic set up by those who let their party affiliation dictate what they are outraged about and what the aren’t, the only logical conclusion would be that all Democrats and Republicans are stupid and/or racist.

Time Alone In The Car

Just a few of the brilliant thoughts I had yesterday on my roundtrip journey to the ATL yesterday…

  • If HHH didn’t repeat himself so much, that 3 hour show would only last about 15 minutes.
  • Where did all these people in Atlanta come from?
  • Are they actually going anywhere, or are they just trying to impede me?
  • I’ve never seen so many deer eating on the side of the interstate. Do we need more either sex hunting opportunities to cull them?
  • Why am I not seeing many dead deer? With this many live ones it seems like a lot more of them would get hit.
  • How is it that I always end up stopping at this same gas station coming and going every time I come down here?
  • When you get right down to it, Hank Williams really is still the most wanted outlaw in the land.
  • Carlos Santana–I give him several chances, but he just doesn’t do it for me.
  • What happened to that Seventh Day Adventist billboard? You know the one. It always used to catch my attention.
  • Did we ever learn who it was that let the dogs out?

Stupidity – Yet Another Reason For Smaller Government

It’s bad enough that a staffer for an elected official is racist enough to distribute something like this by e-mail.

It’s even worse that they are so stupid as to think it wouldn’t surface with their name attached to it.

Now for another round of apologies and resignation. Michael Silence has more.

Update From Christian Grantham:

I spoke with Sherri Goforth minutes ago to confirm she sent this email. She confirmed she had sent it and also said she had received a letter of reprimand from her superiors and said she will stay on the job.

When I asked her if she understood the controversial nature of the photo, Goforth would only say she felt very bad about accidentally sending it to the wrong list.

Huh?

“Sorry Officer…I intended to rob a different bank. My bad. Am I free to go?”

Guess that resignation thing is out the door.

Millions of Small Businesses Created or Saved!

Edgelings.com » The Obama Surprise.

Indeed, you can make the case that the sole contribution the Obama administration has made to entrepreneurship in America to date is to force all of those millions of unemployed people to desperately set up their own businesses in order to survive.

This doesn’t even take into account how much entrepreneurship in general is damaged when companies deemed “too big to fail” are bailed out, effectively guaranteeing market share where there has already been market rejection.

But here’s my favorite part…

High tech CEOs are supposed to be the smartest people you’ve ever met. And most of them are. But when it comes to politics and dealing inside the Beltway, experience has taught me that these men and women are fools, dupes and rubes – and too arrogant to realize it. They thought they were electing one of them, and someone pliable enough to help them succeed while at the same time crushing their competition.

It’s kind of ironic. These guys should know better than anyone that catchy slogans don’t cut it…you have to bring the goods.

It’s Not The Economy Bob!

Bob Dylan has canceled his show in Knoxville due to low ticket sales:

Snider declined to reveal how many tickets were sold but said the number was too low to rely on last-minute ticket purchases to save the show.

“It’s just sort of tough times economically, right now,” said Snider.

Yes, things are tough economically, but another reason ticket sales are low is because it’s the “Bob Dylan” concert. I saw Dylan at Smokies Stadium with Willie Nelson in 2004.  Dylan was horrible. He was two verses into “All Along the Watchtower” before I even recognized it. Waste of time and money.

Willie is always a tremendous show, and Mellencamp is a great show as well. I’ve only seen him once and walked away a fan. Actually, I walked away realizing how big of a fan I’d always been.

I didn’t buy tickets because Dylan was part of the show. Can’t justify giving money for him to take time away from two good acts.

And some breaking news for the KNS–Mellencamp dropped “Cougar” about 20 years ago. You got scooped!

Campaign Propaganda

Here’s mine. Hope and Change have been monopolized and bastardized, so I figured I’d take a different angle. Vote for me, and I promise you’ll have plenty of fodder for second guessing and criticism.

The Power of Federal Spending Compels You!

S.C. Supreme Court orders governor to apply for stimulus money.

The court voted 5-0, with Justice Costa Pleicones concurring in a separate opinion, that the General Assembly had the authority in passing the state budget to order Sanford to apply for the money.

Just for giggles, it would be interesting to see what would happen to him if he still refused. The worst case scenario is that he’d be an automatic front runner for the GOP nomination in 2012.

Yeah, that’s pretty bad, but still…

Blogging, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and More!

From  No Silence Here.

Blogging is often cited in the obits of newspapers. Twittering is often cited in the obits of blogs. And now I’m hearing Facebook and MySpace cited as the killers of Twitter. Some soon-to-be freshmen in high school told me last week they’re not on blogs or Twitter. They’re strictly Facebook or MySpace.

And just wait for Wave to ramp up. I think it may eventually kill email, along with marginalizing all of these other communication tools. Ok, “kill” may be a strong word, but the future of communication definitely lies in a One-Stop-Shop, real time type of communication instead of these various distributed and semi-connected tools we’re using now.

In the future, every communication tool will be useful for 15 minutes.

Education, Health Care Summary

From the Liberty Papers

Education is not one-size-fits-all. We need to stop pretending that we can make it so.

The same goes for healthcare.

It all boils down to choice, choice, choice. I wonder how many people would be mad if they all of a sudden only had one or two soft drinks to choose from. I bet we’d see some action on that issue!

Of course, there’s much more to the post, but that pretty much sums it up.

American Capitalism From The Outside Looking In

American capitalism gone with a whimper – Pravda.Ru.

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their “right” to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights.

That truth. It do hurt.
