I’ve just heard of SomeGreyBloke, but after this, you can bet I’ll be looking for more of his things on YouTube.

That pretty much sums up the farce that is American News Media.  Also, go watch the movie Network which predicted this madness back in 1976.

When the big media outlets work so hard to promote fear, you should ask yourself ‘Why? and Who’s going to benefit?”

Basically, since AIG handed out $165 million in bonuses, the US (no longer citizen representing) government is going to reduce the next check for $30 BILLION by the 165 million paid out for bonuses.  The bonuses went to ‘the best and brightest’ that got them into the trouble with questionable business decisions, I’m sure the new AIG boss Ed Liddy wouldn’t want to risk losing these top shelf fools.

The BBC article states that 73 indivuduals recieved a bonus in excess of $1 million.

Clearly, this does make me very angry as a US tax payer, but I don’t believe my government needs to meddle in the works of the company that’s failing… just let them fail, reduce my taxes so I can have more money in my pockets and choose where to spend such money, instead of the socialistic tide of having to hand over 1/3 of my money in taxes each year, to be handed out to programs such as T.A.R.P. that I do not approve of.

By making the average uninformed citizen angry with a 45 second blipvert on CNN Headlines News and making them think that the government should meddle in the marketplace… then Obama and is puppeteers at Bilderberg get more support to convert each of the companies into bloated government zombies instead of letting the weak companies die and allowing the leaner, focused and better companies take the place of the mismanaged corpses that are on lifesupport using my tax money.

If you let AIG die, I bet several companies will fill the void and there would be competition among them, which leads to a better market.  Basic financial rules haven’t changed, only the understanding of them has faded as the greed goggles have blinded those in charge.

There’s a reason that greed is one of the seven deadly sins.

NPR (National Pulblic Radio) played a wonderful 8 minute piece from ‘Fresh Air from WHYY’ about Ardent Records, a Memphis record label in the late 60’s and 70’s.  If you’re open to finding a musical jewel, then click on the link above and listen to the audio program.

Let me step back for a moment and explain that my personal transportation is a Honda S2000, a car that’s only available with a six speed manual transmission, and has three pedals - like any good car should have.  I enjoy driving, I enjoy the time and effort I’ve put into learning car control and take pride is my driving skill, and will always be open to learning a better way.  There’s a great feeling when you’re diving into a corner, the ball of your right foot on the brake pedal as you scrub off speed, using the side of your right foot to blip the throttle so the engine speed will match the car speed as the left foot is on the clutch and a shifter slides into a lower gear so you can apply power again after the apex of the corner.  Theres a skill involved. There’s pride in getting it right, and opportunity to learn in getting it wrong.

Who cares that you pressed a button on the steering wheel/guitar neck? You pressed it just like 50 million other people could.  Now, pick up a guitar and alter music like Jimi Hendrix did… that takes skill, or shift like Steve McQueen and you’ve captured coolness instead of button mashing daydreaming.

Bottom line, get off your butt and work on real skills.

It’s great that the Boy Scouts are working hard to help out the community. I know that I would have attended far more Boy Scout meetings if activities like this were available when I was in the Scouts.

I’m speechless on this one, but it should be the basis of some fine debates.
LINCOLN, Neb. - A judge has thrown out a Nebraska legislator’s lawsuit against God, saying the Almighty wasn’t properly served, because of his unlisted home address. State Sen. Ernie Chambers filed the lawsuit last year seeking a permanent injunction against God.

He said God has made terroristic threats against the senator and his constituents in Omaha, inspired fear and caused “widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants.”

Chambers has said he filed the lawsuit to make the point that everyone should have access to the courts regardless of whether they are rich or poor.

On Tuesday, however, Douglas County District Court Judge Marlon Polk ruled that under state law a plaintiff must have access to the defendant for a lawsuit to move forward.

“Given that this court finds that there can never be service effectuated on the named defendant this action will be dismissed with prejudice,” Polk wrote.

Hole in the judge’s ruling?
Chambers, who graduated from law school but never took the bar exam, thinks he’s found a hole in the judge’s ruling.

“The court itself acknowledges the existence of God,” Chambers said Wednesday. “A consequence of that acknowledgment is a recognition of God’s omniscience.”

Therefore, Chambers said, “Since God knows everything, God has notice of this lawsuit.”

Chambers has 30 days to decide whether to appeal. He said he hasn’t decided yet.

Chambers, who has served a record 38 years in the Nebraska Legislature, is not returning next year because of term limits. He skips morning prayers during the legislative session and often criticizes Christians.
