My post from last year will shed more light on this issue. READ IT HERE

Second year in a row that I have noticed that Google doesn’t like Mexicans ;)

err…rather they do not change their logo for Cinco De Mayo.

Wonder if this has anything to do with their political views?

I created a new video blog, ScrambledVideo.com, it will showcase all of the weird, wacky, bizarre, and random videos that I find on the Internet.

Scrambled Video
It’s here for all of you to enjoy! So go ahead and spread the word.
I will be updating and adding videos to it daily.

Before I go any further let me say this…

I’m not here to push any political agenda. Nor do I side with any political party.

I found this news clip of President Barack Obama asserting:

“…We are the only nation on Earth that leaves millions of people without health insurance.”

That assertion does not sit well with me, and I’d love to know what everyone else thinks.

Really?
Out of all 190+ countries we are the ONLY nation that doesn’t provide health insurance for millions of people? REALLY?

This is not true! What about all the 3rd world nations?

Did his prompter slip? (I do not like scripted politics…If you speak the truth it should come from the heart, not from a teleprompter!)
Did his speech writer overlook something?
Was he trying to ad lib?
Does he and his administration think we are that misinformed?

Hmmmm…makes me wonder.

What do you think about this? Leave a comment =)

…and if I am wrong, let me know why.
I’d prefer to be educated on the matter, rather than be slandered and belittled.

OoOops…
This is by no means an admission of guilt!

Dead!

Dead!

David Kellermann, the acting chief financial officer for the *bunk* mortgage company Freddie Mac, was found dead at his home in Reston, Virginia. Authorities received a call from Kellermann’s wife this morning at 4:48am(4-22-09), indicating that she found his body in the basement. As of now it appears to be a suicide with no signs of foul-play.

You can check out the latest NYSE numbers for Freddie Mac HERE.

Kellermann was 41 years old and had been working with Freddie Mac for 16 years. He was appointed as acting CFO in September 2008, after Anthony Piszel stepped down.

More to come…

Attend A Tea Party Near You!

Ok, so I’m a bit late on this post…seems how today is Tax day! But, none the less I’m still going to write about it.

Batteries Required!

Batteries Required!

Check out TaxDayTeaParty.com for the location of a “Tea Party” near you!(not to be confused with a lemon party…)

At first glance you might view the people attending these rallies to be radical idealists, or gun-toting Americans…but, what you’d be missing is these people are exercising their 1st Amendment rights, and are voicing their displeasure on the way things in Washington are being handled.

If it weren’t for people who take a stand against the government, who knows where we’d be right now…

Take a look at my post about “What Does The ‘Bill of Rights’ Mean for You?
If that doesn’t get you motivated to use YOUR VOICE, then I don’t what will!

In keeping with my ‘distorted-mass-media’ theme, I’ve decided to go off again and point out the halfass backward-ness of how people go around repeating things they’ve heard on television.

Tune In or Be Left Out!

Tune In or Be Left Out!

Ok, go…

It’s interesting to note the amount of people who hear something once and then repeat it to someone else as fact.
What’s even more alarming is the amount of people who repeat things they heard on the news(television), without having researched this information for themselves.
Very seldom does someone hear something and look further into it(self-education).

Rule of thumb:
Just because it’s on T.V. doesn’t make it real/factual.
(Just because the news reports it doesn’t make it true.)

There is a VERY closely calculated formula in News media.
This is the result of years and years of research and development.
The people who write the anchors’ scripts use key words which have been researched/polled to capture and hold(hostage) your attention.

For more on the manipulative-biased-media-formula read my post HERE.

Don’t be so trusting of anything coming out of the T.V. box…

Here is an excellent post on “Detecting Bias In News Media,” from fair.org

STOP & REVIEW YOUR RIGHTS!

YOU CAN’T HONESTLY TELL ME YOU KNOW IT ALL FROM LEARNING IT IN SCHOOL!

DON’T LET OTHERS MAKE DECISIONS FOR YOU!!!

YOU HAVE RIGHTS, REMEMBER?

STAND UP FOR YOU AND YOUR COUNTRY!

Interestingly enough until yesterday, when it was brought to my attention, I realized that I barely remember all of my rights as a citizen of the United States of America…Tisk Tisk!

I asked myself, “Do I have rights that are not specifically outlined in the Constitution?”

So, I decided to take a look at the “Bill of Rights,” and was surprised at what I found!

…I will list the first 10 Amendments, But I will focus mainly on two VERY IMPORTANT, yet widely unknown amendments and the rights they GAURANTEE…

You need to look at the Constitution as an outline of what the Federal Government can and cannot do, unless an additional Amendment is ratified.

Also, I’m not a lawyer or a government official, just a citizen of the United States, who would like to see everyone playing a more important role in OUR government.


…We’re all too familiar with the wicked ways of Washington…so please read on, and feel free to share your opinions and comments with me.
If I’ve stated something wrong, feel free to educate me and help me better understand….
