2012 Presidential Candidates;a Briefer Than Brief Brief

Before I go ANY further into this essay / research piece - I want YOU, fellow pol-spotters, to pass along some of your “suspects” from ANY party - whether via:

Let’s hear the names you have milling around in the back of your head - or candidates you’d like to see - or trial balloons you’d like to float - or solid “yes I am considerings…”, whether it’s Ron Paul, former NM Gov Gary Johnson, former Gov Jesse Ventura, Loretta Null, Steve Kubby, Gov Blagojevich (lol), Newt Gingrich, Cindy Sheehan, and an a wide array of other potentialities…Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin…et al.

It should make for an interesting pre ‘year - end - list - barrage’ of “best - of - nothings” that are the stock - in - trade of every publication. (other than this spec we promise we won’t do one)

We’ll come back to THIS topid on Dec 22 and have a gander.

Revisiting Some of the Best Things TV *Can* Offer

There has always been some debate as to when and why television failed us in the face of it’s fantastic potential. Considering Youtube.com didn’t even register on the radar less that 4 years ago, it’s amazing to think in context that radio wasn’t even a major presence until the mind 1920’s - let alone that computers in the average home wasn’t a reality until the mid 1990’s.

I’ll expand on ALL of this more later but want to do a quickie - post ( until I can attend to this again when time allows), but in the meantime please enjoy a great easonal special offered by presenter-journalist Louis Theroux of the BBC.

admin @ November 3, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Election Day Alternatives From GlobalPundit.Org - and We’re Nuts Enough to Offer a Prediction, too…

Frankly. there’s no point in writing or chasing anything you’re already going to see on every newspaper and every newscast - SO here’s what we’re doing, and here’s our recommendation…

We’re visiting polling stations in Cook County, IL all morning - among many other things - watch for our LIVE FEEDS at various points throughout the day (and they’ll be archived) at WWW.THEUPTAKE.ORG

at the same time, when I can, i’ll be uploading photography raw and unedited and likely untagged and unnamed - and it will be all posted either througout the day when I can get a breather - or one fantastic barrage after 1 AM Central Time at our GLOBALPUNDIT.ORG FLICKR SITE .

As well , you can follow the minutiae that is Twitter since i’m certain to have some great updates and notices throughout the day. If you decide to join us and follow us on Twitter, drop us a message and let us know if there’s anything you’d like to see and we’ll point our cameras, live cameras, or anything else at it…

admin @ November 2, 2008 # No Comment Yet

A general strike is proposed for the United States on November 2nd, 2008. The general strike movement has no clearly named leadership. It’s described as an Internet viral effort.
Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_phenomenon defines /viral/ efforts on the Internet as:
An object (or an idea) is viral when it has the ability to spread copies of itself or change other similar objects to become more like (it) when those objects are simply exposed to the “viral object.”
