Brilliant!
If I partook of the "Herb"
I don't however, because it's illegal and I can't afford it anyway.
One interesting JFK speech
President Kennedy speaks on conspiracy. I believe it makes him a "Conspiracy Theorist."
Journalist: Keith Olbermann
One of the last true journalists.
Transcript for Feeling morally, intellectually confused?
The man who sees absolutes, where all other men see nuances and shades of meaning, is either a prophet, or a quack.
New and improved terror alert system
When one column isn't enough...
I have a new "Terror Alert" chart. I've found that the current one from the DHS is truly inefficient in correctly showing the threat level as certain events unfold in the country.
You can clearly see how each event relates to the specific level. This chart is most effective around election time. You'll rarely if ever see or hear anything about the elevation until something threatens the status quo.
Fighting Back, with voicemail
Does your telephone carrier provide data to the NSA without legal authorization? Don't answer the phone, let it go to voicemail.
Ring Ring Ring Ring Ring.
"Hello, you have reached 555-1212. I am currently unavailable. My provider, <INSERT TELEPHONE CARRIER> has seen fit to illegally provide it's customers call information to the National Security Agency. If you do not support your telephone provider's policy, contact them and let them you are ready to switch to Qwest unless they rescind this policy.
Please leave a message, the NSA or I will return your call shortly."
Increase the Weekend
It's a fact that the United States, as far as industrialized nations go, has the longest work week.
I propose creating an extra day in the weekend to account for this. This will overcome the extended hours in the work week, putting us on par with other western nations.
It does two things:
- shorten the work week by a day and;
- extends the weekend by a day.
Doing this will actually put us ahead of Europe. They'll be playing catch up and working longer than the U.S.
An eight day week is a start, but it still is "not enough to show I care." Yes, it will finally validate the phrase coined by Ringo Starr to denote how much love a person can give in an eight day period.
Quails for peace
How to solve the insurgency problem in Iraq.
Release a large flock of farm raised quail in Iraq. Send Cheney and a few well-to-do Texas lawyers with a complement of shotguns and beer.
The insurgents, no doubt fearing for their lives will scatter like fall leaves on a windy day. If in fact shot, they'll no doubt apologize for the nasty behavior they've caused.
