O is the New W

Barack Obama has finally decided that we haven't spent enough money or lost enough lives or sufficiently fanned the flames of anti-American hatred, so today he called for the deployment of some additional 30,000+ soldiers to Afghanistan. Hope? Change? Bush!

(I can't wait for the YouTube video of this! Here's the best comparison video I found so far...

Peter Schiff vs Arnie Arneson

Spirited debate between Republican Senator candidate Peter Schiff and radio talk-show host Arnie Arneson. He, being the economist who predicted the economic meltdown of '08 and she being the socialist who doesn't think that Obama is being socialist enough. Funny, on how they both agree that Obama is failing. Thanks, reedr3v!

Gary Null on Vaccines

Amazing Stuff. Well worth checking these out:

Ron Paul rocks on The Situation Room and The ED Show

Part 1

Part 2
And, although Ed gave Ron Paul a pretty chilly reception on a previous show, he was quite warm and receptive to him here:

Thanks to Lindsey Graham for opening his big fat mouth and dissing Ron Paul! Keep it up Senator!!

It's a Mac, Mac, Mac, MacWorld

MacHeads is an hour-long documentary about Apple nerds and the attraction they have to the software and hardware that comes from Cupertino, California. Watching this makes me glad I don't have much to do with Macintosh anymore--this could have been me!

Must-see Documentary on Food

This is a horror movie, but it's true. We're living in a world where hardly anything is really nutritious or good for us anymore. The Future of Food will change the way you think about food and about the people who bring it to your plate.

Creepy Kids Sing the Praises of Dear Leader

Here's the song that's gotten so much publicity in the news. Ughhhh, ughhhh, ughhhh.


These are a year old, but still timely. This first one's really disturbing, even though it's a parody. The cult of personality really hearkens to Hitler's rise to power. This is pure indoctrination--there's just no way to sugar-coat it.


This one's a pretty funny parody where they pulled out all the stops. Soundtrack once again by the Obama Kool-Aid kids.

Doctors Warn Against H1N1 Vaccine Risks

I'm not sure which is more disturbing--the spread of this disease or of the strong-arm tactics being used to force people to get vaccinated. This is scary stuff. There's more info and discussion over at mercola.com.

The Not-So-Great Depression of 1920

If you can carve out 49 minutes to listen to this video, you'll learn a lot and come to appreciate the insight of Mr. Tom Woods, Jr.

Funniest video I've seen in ages

Big Bird disses Michelle Obama on Sesame Street. I'm sure they won't be playing this on MSNBC.

Keith Obermann gets owned

I'm diggin' this Matt Crowder guy from PJTV. If you've never seen Keith Olbermann --Obama's #2 fanboy behind Chris "thrill up my leg" Matthews--then you probably won't be able to appreciate this much. Still, worth a chuckle.

First post in ages

Just a note that I'm starting up the activity on this blog. It's been too long since I've posted, and I've got no really good reason. I'm anxious to start sharing again. Tech and politics goodies as I find em.

I'm tinkering with the layout, so bear with me until I get this more to my liking. Videos will now be posted HQ, when possible.

Enjoy!

No room on Fox - No apologies for downing Flight 655

Something tells me you won't be catching this story on Fox News:

"Iran Air Flight 655 was shot down by the US Navy's guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes on Sunday July 3, 1988, killing all 290 passengers, including 66 children, and crewmembers onboard.

The civilian airliner, carrying passengers from Iran, Italy, the UAE, India, Pakistan and the former Yugoslavia, was en route from Iran's southern city of Bandar Abbas to Dubai when it was hit by two SM-2MR surface-to-air missiles launched from the warship commanded by Captain William C. Rogers III.

Following the tragic incident, ranked seventh among the deadliest airliner fatalities, unapologetic US officials said their naval officers had mistaken the Iranian Airbus A300 for an F-14 Tomcat fighter.

They went on to claim that the Vincennes crew had been under a simultaneous psychological condition called 'scenario fulfillment', and had therefore confused their training scenario with reality and responded accordingly."

Blackle.com Promises to Out-Green Google

Blackle.com Promises to Out-Green Google: "Instead of using Google, or Yahoo the next time you want to search for something on the Internet, try using Blackle.com.
Why you ask? White screen space is bad. It eats up energy, and because the site is black it uses less energy, according to Bill Thompson, BBC pundit for the program 'Digital Planet.' Blackle is all black and uses less white space. It connects directly and uses the same Google search engine, just with a sexy black background.
Heap Media, the Australian company that created Blackle, claims that black pixels use less power than Google's bright white home page. So by using Blackle you will be using less energy and reduce carbon emissions."

Excel Tip: Display Last Saved By Date & User

I found this handy tip to date stamp an MS Excel file's last-saved time (and person). (Yes, files do get time-stamped when saved, but if they are ever sent via email, that date-stamp can get over-written when saved off the server to a local hard drive. This little macro stamps the date right into the worksheet.)

Originally found here:

Here's how it's done: Right-click on worksheet tab, select "View Code". Copy and paste this code into the ThisWorkbook module (It features an Excel document icon on it.) It will automatically run when you save the file.

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)

Sheets('Sheet1').Range('A1').Value = ThisWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties('Last Save Time')

Sheets('Sheet1').Range('A2').Value = ThisWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties('Author')

End Sub

Great documentary—a must see!

Movies to Watch

I just heard about a few interesting documentaries and then stumbled over a third that sounded worth checking out. As usual, these are more compelling than most fiction—and more relevant.
