Editorial: THE “F” BOMB- Has It Finally Arrived?

admin @ May 16, 2009 # No Comment Yet

It can take years to break through in popular culture. Just ask any non-Idolesque singer. Ask any musician, actor, artist etc. Getting the word out there can be a long and arduous task and raw talent or appeal is not always a deciding factor. Timing is everything we are told, being in the right place at the right time. That of course implies luck as a factor, or “getting your big break” as some put it.

Others will say that you make your own breaks.
I’m sure it’s a combination of everything. Even heathens like myself like to imagine that every once in a while the “forces” align and something comes of it. Of course we heathens also like to believe that outside of science, there are no forces, and that the studies of alignment and coincidence are simply things people do to pass the time and to make themselves look much cleverer than they actually are.

Ashlee Simpson Saves America

admin @ February 3, 2009 # No Comment Yet

To me her words will always represent the Obama presidency. We all witnessed the historic day, the millions who gathered in Washington, D.C. and around the world. We saw their faces, laughing, crying, cheering. We heard the speech of the great orator and new president as he set America on
a path to repair and to be great again. Notice that Mr. Obama never ends his speeches with God bless America, but rather, God bless the United States of America. No more red and blue states, just united states, a United States worthy of God’s blessing. A United States that will again be loved by
world, a place not so hasty in making fun of Ashlee’s big sister. OK he didn’t say that last part, but we know that’s what he meant.

from the official Hicks website: “The Late Show with David Letterman has scheduled a telecast of the never-aired October 1, 1993 Bill Hicks appearance. The show was pre-taped Jan. 26th (with Bill’s mom as a guest) and will air Friday, January 30th on your local CBS affiliate. We’d like to acknowledge and thank Bill’s many fans and everyone who has had a hand in keeping Bill’s comedy and philosophy alive. We hope everyone can tune in and experience what you may have missed or what you barely remember – Bill Hicks performing for a national audience on network television.”

Opinion: Speaking Truth to Truthers

admin @ November 12, 2008 # 2 Comments

As a wise person put it, the losses are permanent, the victories are only temporary. Each new shock comes before we have recovered from the last one. JFK was assassinated 45 years ago and there is still no closure.

The American people don’t want to know the truth and they will not rise up. They are comfortable with genocide. Ask yourself how many dedicated peace activists you know personally who voted for continuing war crimes under the command of Barack Obama.

Many of the Democratic gatekeeper sites urged people to vote for Obama by saying that first we had to elect him and then we could hold his feet to the fire. But they already knew from his FISA vote, his vote to fund the wars, and his bailout vote, that he has asbestos shoes and doesn’t care what people say or think. Now they are purging dissidents and saying that nobody should criticize Obama, that we have to accept the “centrism” of Rahm Emanuel and Nancy Pelosi, two Democrats who are far to the political right of Bush and Cheney. They never intended to press Obama for peace, they wanted more genocide.

Media Editorial: Why Do People Pay so Much Attention to the ‘Casters?

admin @ September 24, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Why do people pay so much attention to the ‘Casters?
I notice many people supporting some ideal far across the web, from Youtube to random boards. Ron Paul supporters are a tad less guilty of it, but it still dumbfounds me how they approach what they believe in. Somehow a mass majority of these supporters of [...]

SOMETIMES THE ENQUIRER IS RIGHT or A How-To In Becoming A Media Consumer

admin @ August 10, 2008 # No Comment Yet

John Edwards brushing us off by using the catch phrase “supermarket tabloid” is somewhat ironic. In a supermarket at least 15,000 products line the shelves and coolers. We pick them up, read food labels, touch, squeeze, smell and sometimes sneak a sample before we buy. Are we less consumers of media? If you answered yes, then stop it. Stop it now. Become an educated consumer of media. Remember, if we don’t consume, we make cons of u and me.
