WATCH LIVE: Mubarak Resigns! Egyptians Celebrate!

Many years ago, I worked for someone who shares your business philosophy.
I would have walked through fire for that man.

I have to agree with audadvnc. Suleiman is a butcher, and if Washington throws its tacit support behind him, any hope for a peaceful transition to some form of democratic Egyptian government will be snuffed out in short order.
Over the last two weeks, I’ve watched and listened (broken-hearted) as American media dutifully pushed the fear-mongering “Caliphate!” meme of the rightwing.
Americans no longer live in a democracy…they live in the corpse of a democracy.

‘Tis a pity so many still refuse to acknowledge that as true.

The Failure That is Fox News

“Loyalty to a corporation first and their friends second” is precisely why my forays into HPWorld will now be few and far between.
Rumours of this unholy AOL/HP alliance have been circulating in the business community for months, but every time I posted a comment regarding the possibility of a merger (prior to its announcement), it “mysteriously” disappeared into the e-ether (along with any comment questioning the “wisdom” of Obama’s latest inner circle picks).
I predict an uptick in “White House CoS Warns Social Security On Brink of Collapse”-themed articles in the weeks to come because, despite Arriana’s claims to the contrary, she’s no longer in charge of editorial decisions at the HP – Pete Peterson and the AOL board is.

Controversy sells, dear.

Whatever happened to CobaltBlue? He went AWOL some time ago. Or maybe just changed socks?

LOL Those were the posts that usually elicited my canned response…

Is Right-Wing Talk Dying?

One can only hope.

Ummm…Arianna doesn’t fancy herself the “Queen of New Media” fer nuthin’, Khirad.
I, for one, refuse to indulge her fantasy, or to support a site now owned by a company (AOL) that boasts Pete Peterson as a board member.
I did notice that HP made NO MENTION last night of the latest go-round in Teathuglical budget cut proposals…they’ve upped the ante yesterday from $35 billion to $65 billion. That strikes me as a “sin of omission” on HP’s part. Not that I’m at all surprised.

Well, then…come on out and fly your freak flag!
You’re among friends here.
BTW…have you read Eric Hoffer’s “The True Believer”? Methinks you’d find it very insightful given this ongoing FOX discussion.

I read that article this a.m.
Good stuff.

David, there is simply no “debating” a person who lacks both the intellectual curiousity and basic deductive reasoning skills required to first seek out the facts of a matter, and then process them into a reasoned, coherent argument.
Attempting to engage someone in “debate” who’s “sphere of knowledge” is based solely on propaganda is a fool’s errand, and generally detrimental to ones blood pressure.
Sorry.

Trailer for New Michael Moore Doc – “Capitalism – A Love Story”

A couple of weeks ago I stumbled across a 1998 Michael Moore film I had not seen or even heard of before. “The Big One” documents the great “downsizing” that got underway in the wake of NAFTA, and though much of it was filmed prior to the 1996 election (Remember? -the lowest turnout in American electoral history), its release was delayed until way AFTER the election. Check it out and you’ll understand WHY! The segment featuring newly unemployed workers at the Centralia, Illinois “Payday” candy bar plant is incredibly prescient.
EB rates this film a “humdinger”, and it’s available through Netflix.

(Yeah…I know…they should be paying me a sales commission.heh)
