The Church of Karl Marx
Posted Tuesday, December 21, at 7:56 AM Judson Phillips, a former Shelby County, TN ADA and organizer of the 2010 National Tea Party Convention that Sarah Palin spoke at (it should be noted that she was paid $100,000 to speak about her beliefs and convictions), has posted in a recent blog post on his tngovwatch.org site that "The Methodist church is an embarrassing joke". ...
As many of you know, I believe that systems that serve as safety nets to help people through tough times are a good idea and a just thing to do. No one is immune to being hurt on the job, getting sick, or losing a job for reasons out of their control. ...
On Monday, Apple released version 5 of its Safari web browser. In this version you will find the Reader feature, one of the coolest additions to web browsing in my opinion since the creation of tab browsing. Reader is designed to display web pages that contain lots of text, like a Times-Gazette story or blog, in a way that more closely resembles reading a newspaper or magazine. ...
This could be the greatest day in the history of cellular communication. Today the company that created the MagicJack, which provides Voice Over IP phone calls for $40 a year, announced that they are releasing a similar product in four months that will allow you to make free phone calls from your cell phone. ...
If you have seen the new Apple commercials informing you that now is a great time to buy an overpriced Mac, don't believe it. Don't get me wrong, Macs and Mac OS X are nice, but there is no such thing as the perfect computer. Microsoft Windows 7 is the operating system that will restore the shine on Microsoft's badly tarnished image. Vista was an absolute disaster by the way, in case you never used it. So let's get into what I love about Windows 7...
Who Has the Answer?? A couple of weeks ago, the T-G reported on Bedford County's new website at http://www.bedfordcountytn.org/. I was reading on the front page of that website a brief history of the courthouse, and it mentions that the courthouse was burned in December 1934 by a rioting mob. I have searched and searched on the internet and was unable to find more details. I can only speculate that the story is depression related, but I am dying to know more. Does anyone know any details related to this event?...
The Side Effects of Increased Communication Is it just me, or do you think that we are as a community, state, and nation getting more and more polarized each day? This is just my theory, but I think that we are finding out that increased communication has brought about some unforeseen side effects. ...
The War Expands The BBC released a report today that President Obama will be substantially increasing troop levels in Afghanistan this week per the request of the international commander in Afghanistan, General McChrystal. This information came from sources inside the British government. The British government has announced that it will be increasing troop levels in Afghanistan as well...
450,000 Doctors Can't Be Wrong
Big Brother 2012 I don't agree with many of the causes of the ACLU, but when the subject is government and industry collecting and using data for purposes beyond what it was originally intended I totally agree. Pizza Palace 2012...
Argument 101 Recently on Steve Mills' Blog Post Please help me understand Mr. Obama's personal secrecy the comment below, highlighting how certain "news" organizations (don't worry, all of the 24/7 networks are guilty of it) distort the truth to gain support and ratings, got me thinking...
Love Thy Neighbour As Thyself Dr. Linda Peeno, Former Humana Employee - May 30, 1996 No one ever asks to get sick, but at some time or another we all do. Sometimes when a person gets sick they have to miss work or can no longer work adding insult to injury. This person could be your neighbor, a total stranger, or even your mom. ...
If you are like most people, you probably have lots of digital pictures, financial data, or other important data files that you really would prefer to not lose when your hard drive crashes. A good backup routine is one that you should never have to think about. Today I would like to share with you a simple backup solution that will not cost you a lot of money and you will never have to think about once it is properly configured...
I bumped into this story this morning about fraud, waste, and abuse of TVA issued expense credit cards and I must say that I am disturbed by it. In the military, expense cards of this nature were common, but fraud was not. Why? Accountability. If a purchase was made on the expense card, the user had to document every single purchase with supporting documents. ...
After reading a report about Sanford closing and many of its comments, I felt compelled to write about the auto bailout. Earlier I watched this ABC News video that was a report on the US automakers and AIG's private jet fleets. Here are the CEOs of failing companies asking taxpayers to give them $25 billion dollars while they spend $20,000 for a flight from Detroit to D.C. ...
I am very curious about the response I will receive to this blog so please, if you answer try to be polite because this post is meant more as a think tank action and is not meant to persuade. Here is what is on my mind. Welfare. In America most people are generally against welfare because it motivates people to do nothing but sit back and collect welfare. ...
In Case You Missed It Barack Obama's 30 minute infomercial in its entirity...
It seems that the only issue our government is worried about is expanding the economy at any cost. Bankers gambled their money away and now have none to lend? Print some more money for them. Oil companies want more oil reserves? We'll invade Iraq and give them a tax break at the same time. ...
Observation 1: Last night I was checking out John McCain's campaign website and bumped into his Iraq War timeline. Basically it is a page dedicated to highlighting all the times John McCain went on the record to mention that we need more troops in Iraq. ...
The conservative radio hosts all seem to be a little nervous about the VP debate tonight. Undoubtedly they watched the same interviews I watched and were a little shocked by her awkward answers. She does come across as honest and I do believe that her heart is in the right place which is refreshing, but I can't help but worry that she will be overwhelmed and perhaps corrupted by the power if she ever was required to be the president...
