Oh Noes! What am I going to do now??

H/T to my friend Jamie, of whom I only learned of late, is a wee bit sensitive about the outward appearance of his fellow citizens, regardless of the content of their character. Enjoy this satire, because it is certainly on the mark for some... I wish them well finding another cause if they need one. I can still find plenty to rail against all day long just off of the top of my head.


Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are

The election is over, whatever is it that I am going to bitch about on my blog? Let's see, I could easily reach the character limit of my blogger posting I'm sure just talking about the stupid War on Drugs/Terror/Social Problem/Disease, etc. So, I picked this election and it's racial overtones as my subject du jour for the last couple of months, and I get non-stop snarky bullshit for it. So be it. Yes, I don't have a life, quite right. Pointless working to get a progressive, intelligent and articulate man elected president, who may well do much good for our country simply by being those things, and so much more, let alone his appearance, which, like it or not, buys him extra clout because of racial animosity and the importance accorded such nonsense.

PS I do look forward to ragging on Church Lady, Diva redneck Sarah Palin as she is devoured by her own party for her 'rogue-ish' behavior that clearly cost McCain the election (LOL!).

    While Palin certainly energized the base, it was a smaller Republican base that in years past. Add to that Powell coming out forcefully for Obama, and I think the center and many Reagan Democrats put a hurtin' on McCain.

The Continuing Rise of the Machines

Funny things, PCs. My $400 laptop runs circles around my $2300 Sony Vaio (2.8 GHz P4, 1GB RAM) because it is 5 years "younger." Amazing shit. I bought a little USB HDTV ATSC receiver and enjoy beautiful over-the-air HD broadcasts on my laptop... for shits and grins, I plugged it in to my Sony, and it was as if I'd asked it to solve Pi to 3 million decimal places! LOL! It did a decent, albeit, hitchy job of displaying standard definition channels, but HD? Nope. Ah, Moore's law continues, no longer is it clock cycles, but it will be again, and then it will be architecture change again (multiple cores for now), ad infinitum ... until we accidentally build SkyNet. I'm guessing in 10 years, a run-of-the-mill PC will have the computational power of some of the "supercomputers" of today. I know, not a stretch. I'm just trying to get my head around the software that will be inevitably written to bog down that much CPU/Memory horsepower, because those damn d...

Pleading for the future...

"I am pleading for the future; I am pleading for a time when hatred and cruelty will not control the hearts of men." - Clarence Darrow. Keith Olbermann again cuts through the bullshit and talks about what many of us fear... and how to prevent it. If only we'd listen to reason. I know, what a concept. Yes, of course he's a partisan!! How the hell could you not be in this starkly obvious election? This election is hopefully not a premature referendum on the maturity of the proverbial hearts of men.

Happy Days! Opie, Richie, Fonzie, and Andy for Obama

See more Ron Howard videos at Funny or Die This video is simple sweet nostalgia for me! I grew up watching the Andy Griffith Show , an innocent and sweet black and white (double meaning I was of course unaware of at the time) show about simple times, and apparently devoid of the undercurrent of racism and the raging debate of Vietnam occurring in our country at the time ... or so it seemed. The morality plays within most of the episodes often, at least, subtly touched on the issues of the day and all the while simultaneously and deftly, taught tolerance, and held up to, albeit good natured, ridicule the intolerance and destructive division occurring in our country at the time. In a way that only sweet southern gentility could have pulled off. Floyd the Barber would approve this message. For me personally, The Andy Griffith Show was a serendipitous coincidence and weird connection to Hollywood because it's make-believe town of Mayberry , North Carolina was modeled after my father...
