Using the Net

Well, come Thursday it will be the end of the world wide web as we know it. The FCC is going to make a power grab in the interest of making the net fair to all. Dare I say fair and balanced to all? That is right get ready, Mark Lloyd, huge fan of a cruel dictator, is going to "level the playing field" and take away freedom of speech. Thou shalt not say anything about anything that we don't want you to. I always knew this time would come. For our own good the government is going to take our freedom to say what we would like and thus stop the flow of information for us to read or watch what we want. We can't let people do or say what they want they may say something we don't like. Yeah, that is the bottom line. Control the message, you control the messenger, you control the people who are according to you to dumb to know what they want. Can't wait, no really, can't wait...they think we are more apathetic than we are so hopefully we will suprise them...that is my dream.

it is over

OK so now we have a new president elect. I am so sad that so many people are so dumb. Wasn't it Lincoln who said "you can fool some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time but you can't fool all the people all of the time."? Suffice it to say I think some of the people got fooled. I feel sorry for them in a way, but, and here is where I am sick, I am also looking forward to laughing my butt off at them. I have no problem saying I told you so and won't feel a lick of remorse about it. I mourned for a day, got over it and now I am going to get up and fight for somethings in which I believe. Feel free to join me!

sarha palins clothes

I admit 150,000 dollars on clothes is a lot. However, I bet if you go through the closets of those in Washington, the ones in the national spot light all the time you will find similar cost. Just not all at once. I don't know why Sarah is being hounded for the price tag of the clothes. I think that her lack of pricey wardrobe proves something about her. She and her family really do live like you and me. If for some reason some of us regular folks were put in the national spot light we would need wardrobe assistance too. I know I would. Sarah really is in a no win situation with the clothes, if she didn't have the wardrobe she would have been made fun of or called a hick. She has the clothes and is torn apart for having someone spend that amount of money on her. I love that the clothes are to go to charity or be auctioned off. A the same time I would have no problem with her keeping them. She should get some compensation for all the vitriol she has had to take. Why not look good while taking it?

colin powell

I actually don't mind that Colin Powell endorsed Obama. For a while at least this is still a free country and he can endorse the candidate of his choice. I admit to surprise, but am OK with his choosing Obama. What I find funny is how many of the people that called him an Uncle Tom and berated him for being in the Bush cabinet, suddenly find his opinion worthy. But I guess that is how it goes in politics one minute you are up the next down depending on what the main stream media thinks of you. I do wonder what would he would have been called if he had endorsed McCain.

joe biden

Poor Joe. He got asked questions he didn't like. Sigh. I am supposed to believe that he is a man who can roll with the punches, ready and able to be president if needed, yet he can't take questions he doesn't like. So what did he do? He reacted like a child. He isn't going to play with that station any more. He took his toys and went home. Because that is how people ready to lead act. Way to go, Joe!

nc state fair

So, I went to the state fair today and had a great time! I ate all the "fair" food I like. A hand dipped corn dog, fresh cut fries, blooming onion (bad sauce had just a bite or two then got rid of it, sigh) and fudge. I went to all the exhibits I like and people watched which I enjoy. We have been told, and I am not disputing, that NC which has been a red state during elections is in play for this election. In a way I am glad. We hardly see a candidate here during elections. This year we have had visits from several people from each campaign. I like that. What I took note of today is the number of McCain/Palin vs Obama/Biden support from tee-shirts to stickers. McCain Palin had a showing of at least 10 to 1. I saw very few Obama/Biden stickers and I was looking, I wanted to know. This was very non scientific I didn't ask questions I just looked at what people were wearing. A very good friend of mine, an Obama supporter, was at the fair opening day and said there weren't many Obama stickers. The Obama officials/supporters at the fair told her, it was their understanding there could be no stickers. So, I could understand a low count on day one but we are almost at the end of the fair and not many stickers and no tee-shirts seen for him at all. We may not be an election cycle blue state but may still be Carolina Blue in a red state.

joe the plumber

Joe the plumber could be any one of us. A regular guy or girl like you or me ask a question of one of the candidates, as it happened the one esteemed by the left leaning media. And what happened next? The other candidate the one not esteemed by the left leaning media mentions Joe's name. The next thing you know Joe is followed and investigated by the media for asking a question. His personal financial information is given out like he is running for office. He is accused of not really being a plumber but being a plant from the GOP. He is told in an interview that his taxes would only go up 3% more from 36% to 39% the inference being "what's the big deal?".
I now know what would happen if you or I were to ask a question that might not make Obama shine like the star the left leaning media has made him. Let Joe's question be a serious lesson to us all. Don't question Obama if the answer could possibly put him in a bad light. Obama's friends in the media won't stand for it. You or I could find ourselves investigated, belittled and our personal lives broadcast across the nation for daring to question Obama. Joe the running mate and Obama the candidate have both made fun of Joe the plumber and his question. How many plumbers do you know that make a quarter of a million dollars a year? Why is this amusing to Obama, who snickered at the thought of a plumber making 250 grand? He laughs at someone wanting to have the American Dream! Stunning! I have heard media on the left and right say the subject of Joe isn't really important. Remember he is a regular Joe like you and me. This shows me how out of touch the media is. One person's interest in the campaign and how the outcome will effect his lively hood now and in the future is important, because he is a regular Joe like you and me. But don't challenge The One or you or I will find ourselves vilified by his friends in the media. Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so!
