Fox Channel Political paid smear campaign

What motivates the government's Fox News channel and home of some of my favorite shows to smears Obama? What is in it for them? The situation is getting far out of control and as smart consumers we need to put a immediate stop to this BS. It is time to pitch in and tell FOX that their use of racism, local terrorism and prejudice is not acceptable at ALL. The Republican propaganda machine is in full forth and McCain is not going to stop it.

Remember ALL the paid BUSH operators that promoted IRAQ and sold you the war? Well they are back. Firt FOX paid "commentators" accidentally confused "Obama" with "Osama" and then joked (HARDY, HAA HA, HA. WINK WINK WINK) on the air about killing Obama (WTF America?! don't even go there. Remember the CIA killed the Kennedy's Part 2 ~TRS). Next, another FOX anchor said a playful fist pound by Barrack and Michelle Obama could be a "terrorist fist
jab." (Seriously! give me break a-holes) And then, white hood FOX has called Michelle Obama "Obama's baby mama"-- obvious derogatory unwed mother term to describe a mother of a man's child.

SIGN THE PETITION TO AND BOY-COTT ALL FOX ADVERTISERS. NOT JUST THOSE ON THE NEWS CHANNEL.

Be damned non commutor friendly NJ Transit

The slow pokes dragging their feet are not in my control when I was in full sprint trying to find a open door on the train with a good minute before the 6:23 express depature time. The slow electrical trains hustled me right on time and did not impose on the sweet diesel equipment on the Raritan Valley line out of Newark. But today it took the cake and I damn the conductors who had all of first cars closed except for one door in the middle of the train down the platform. WTF? I am not sure what yahoo thought this sort strategy works but you would think the last couple of doors would be open so the CONNECTING train folk could make it on without hurting theselves and pulling a groin muscle or something. I said THE CONNECTING train folk. BUT Noooooo. Literally one foot from home and beep beep they close the doors. To their usual insult to injury the next train sits around at the mercy of amtrak. NJ Transit I expect more for my $200 dollars a month. Lucky for you the AC was working nicely so letter bombs will not follow this rant but next time get f'kn organized or wait a freaking second to connect people as g*d damn scheduled. FU. Thanks for nothing.

P.S. And where is the damn bar car? The scheduling does not even allow one to make a proper brown bag selection.

America's Got Talent? The best trainwreck ever

Low brow tv keeps redefining the lowest common denominator factor. Starting with the brainiac who convinced the judges; Pierce, Joan and The Hoff to take part in this modern day Gong Show and pair them up with day time Tn'A wringer Jerry Springer deserves more shares! The bad clips must have been so bad they had to rush through NY, LA and The Chicago auditions in season premier. Most of the winners win from pathetic sympathy votes instead of by their talent, except for a violin duo Nuttin But Stringz and a opera singer who tear jerked the audience to a frency. For example two survivors were these Russian hussies who can't sing and a transvestite Britney Spears impersonator who lip synced and are going to Vegas baby. It can only get worse from here and I am frightened America, when the worse were not very entertaining, what is to come next I can only imagine it will be less than un-watchable. The good news is that the bar is low for people to make it and win the lottery where there are no rules and just a stage to free form it. So keep watching America and lets compete against the vapid MTV reality stars are working too hard and don't deserve their fame and fortune. I am not sure how Terry Fator a Ventriloquist won last year but what do I know. We need to fill out summer nights somehow. Who was your favorite performer?

Summer Beer choices Landshark vs Summer Shandy

To kick off this Summer I hit up the local boozery store with a mixed case of summer beer six packs. One of the re-occurring beers is going to be Jimmy Buffet's Island Landshark. great detail on the bottle. Does not feel as heavy as Corona Extra and tasted great with a lime. $6 price-point. The other beer, I fell in love with this Father's day was a lemon summer Shandy from Wisconsin with the zingy flavor already in it! So when i invite you to a bar-b-q you will know what to bring. It's basically a light wheat beer with the twist in it.

Other good choices are Modelos in the can, Dixie from New Orleans (one step above a PBR) and reasonable sixer price point. If you want to get a little fancier Brooklyn Summer Ale is pretty good but find it a little bitter. My old standby when it is really hot is Miller Lite. Yes, this beer snob also knows how to economize when it is sweltering and you just want a guzzler with all the taste of a Budweiser and less calories. A ML pounder is the beer of choice during cocktail hour on the train ride home from Manhattan. Nothing fancy and no hang-over the next day.

I don't like chemicals in my beef

I quit red meat for many years in the 90s and then I got a hankering with the purchase of a home and a bar-b-q, it is slightly more expensive to purchase the chemical free stuff but but hopefully eventually it wil be cheaper. My daughter eats everthing organic and her first meat was organic turkey meat balls from trader joes. She loves it. You can Win A Grass Fed Cow by recommending a slogan. According to Eatwild.com U.S. cattle get 3.7 Million pounds of antibiotics annually, promoting resistant bacteria. Got cancer?

The Honeyshed beta shoppe site by Droga5

I ran into this today on the intraweb. Funny, Quirky and purposely awkward alternative product placement show. First bit I saw started with Kool Moe dee and then it went into all this girl product stuff and then into promoting sneakers. So i guess it is an infor-mercial thing with foreign models and nerds and a very loose marketing style. The streaming is a little buggy and nav unconventional but you get the point. Not sure how to subscribe but I want it!

Why mobile WAP sites suck

What is this behaviorial mobile tracking all about? How is mobile traffic getting to your web site? Do we all want more personal content or just our phone? or should it just be special content? Isn't it about what you can do? Isn't that always the it for innovation? Isn't this post annoying because I'm asking so many questions(statment). What is so annoying is that everybody is trying to figure out how to monetize and not really spending the time to make it work first. Sure walking and talking is easy bu how can you monetize something that is so alienating to most users. Right now the good WAPs are one-way push content sites (porn & articles) but damn you if you try and login somewhere. The screen realestate and functionality is just not quite there but damn does it make for a good investment. Zeldman had a fantasy blog post back in aug 2007 about what the new iphone will do not sure if the next iteration, due in june, will live up to expectations but we can all hope.

Urban Myth confirmation Westfield NJ Memorial Pool

So it is indeed NOT an urban myth. People were in line to get an open slot for the Westfield Memorial Pool at 3AM today and it is now 5:45AM or so. I got in line at 4:15AM and about the 40ish person in line! There are now about 150+ people in the line which wraps along the front of East Broad St. and then back down the side of the old Library entrance. They were still coming as of 7:30...and by then the line wrapped by pond. Easily 500 people.

Recommended required supplies:
Sunglasses, coffee, whiskey, ipod, umbrella, and a chair.

Update:

Only 997 spots open and my family were some of the lucky ones. The joke is that after, according to the rumour mill in the line (Some of moms do gab a lot) the first batch "gets-in" and then there is waiting list that does nothing. So if you missed it get there early. Like 3AM.

On the plus side no monsoon as was forecasted. Just fog. So the experience could have been much worse.

The Best Pranks for April fools day

Whoopee cushions, messing up somebody's office space and more elaborate pranks never get old. The more evil and the larger the conspiracy the better sometimes. Some of the best pranks stuff take things to the outer limits Here are some choice ideas for tomorrow to pull on your internet friends. (1) Send them an audio prank. Add a hidden comment on their blog berating them needlessly. (2) Phone sex pranks. (3) Not sure how funny this is but a death blog listing is classy way to worry your friends where some girl names jane was counting down to her death. (4) Rick roll a major news paper like the NY times and some film trickery. (5) Spoof a major directory site and add some modern day graffiti to Craig's list. Save the Sharpe ink. (6) Make an outrageous claim and make Flickr a lot advertising revenue with link titles like "Photo of Jessica Biel losing her bikini top while swimming at the Chateau Marmont". Otherwise known as SEO backlinking and then have the link be so disgusting people will be sorry. (7) Tom Green is always good source. Check out this more elaborate Slut mobile video he pulled on his parents where he spray paints the roof of his dads card. classic. (8) The Japanese are always a little bizarre. Funny prank video comp of scaring people and giant rolling balls.

What are your prank stories?

Procrastination work flow and art of being efficient

In case you need some guidance on how not to get a lot done in one day do not follow this work flow. Do not ever answer the phone. Do not answer emails. Skip lunch. Let the window of IM's cascade completely full until people hate you and then, better yet don't even turn the dang thing on, and maybe only then will you actually be able to accomplish any work during any given day. You will clock out on time and you lead a happier life. The other option is to drill a hole in your head and do all of the above. Your call.

Church and State not for president

I like righteous and tenacious preachers like Wright and Farakan. They serve a purpose to motivate those that need direction. They have the gift to inspire through emotion and say some pretty outrageous words in church? Is this the right message to get the people all fired up in places like the South side of Chicago? I am not sure we want anybody to be referred to as the KKKamerica though or be a part of said establishment. That segment has gone pretty far underground and shrinking unless you need to feed it some hate fuel. Us vs the others is the same kind of chip on the shoulder mentality that keeps the real-estate divided, the schools and kids behind by making a race line. Culture is funny this way and the major media is picking up on it ever so gently and at the same time fighting morality with Spitzer's Emperor Club situation. Although, the issues are obviously more about class and not race and what money can buy; the people with money and the growing margin without do need hope. A deep understanding that money rules in the end is what is needed from a business and a Do The Right Thing perspective and not a us vs "them". We the people can affect change in the industrial complex but we need to do it without prejudice, without religion based on the information we have at hand and let people live a little and make mistakes. Obama is already looking weathered and it seems to me the reality of the politics at work is starting to take its toll. The question remains can he take the heat? We know a Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton ticket could be an ideal and effective team with the charisma and political toughness to make real change for all classes. Subdividing is not the way to go but at this stage of the game it is what it is all about and it is going to get worse. G*d help us.

Democratic Party on Clinton and Obama needles

Tonight the future of the country is in the hands of Texas and Ohio. No pressure folks. Is the new left going to win? Ideals over practicality are at stake. Who has got the fire power to withstand a full Republican attack? Lets focus on the end game people. Really focus. The 2008 Primaries and Caucuses are today and it all on the line for Hillary. She has 238 Superdelegates vs his 194. not sure what the weight is but let hope it is a race to the end. Politics has never been so thrilling. What constitutes a win anyway? A popular vote or a delegate win? Take the poll. The system is in place to protect the people from themselves and thank god that Hillary has a sense of humour as she pars and jokes with Jon Stewart yesterday and with Amy pollard on SNL this past weekend.

Misogynist Politics: Obama vs Clinton machine

The political war of words is in full session between the two democratic candidates. The clock is ticking. Tick-Tock go the Orwell metaphors. "Who do you want answering the phone"? Asks Clinton, somebody who has been there and knows the lay of the land? The Obama camp counters with but she voted for Iraq. Really? Who the heck cares. Move forward dude. Most of American was deceived about it and nobody did anything and then I find this video.



I was really confused and sort of not surprised to find a Barrack video that plays on fear and comparing Hillary Clinton to a police state alla 1984. Have you looked around lately? Remember W and Dick? There is a lot of history of political videos using nuclear scare tactics and other emotional devices. What is funny is that Obama's people don't use his words. You be the judge and listen to the smarter people around you who don't have the leisure or pleasure to make a dumb choice. The guys sound great but there is no depth. Remember the I had a dream speech? There were actionable items in that. Agreed change is good but isn't that what they both are offering? Watch the most recent debate on CN/UNAVISION between the two before Tuesday and see the info people are making decisions on and take a good 10,000 foot view. Experience vs Change.
