Alec Is Screwd Up, But Who Really Cares!
Alec Baldwin is deranged on many levels. He yelled at his daughter in a way that no father should ever yell at a child. I am not a big fan of the world of Hollywood anyway so I really don't care about him and his screwed up antics. I am weary of the conservatives within in news and on talk radio over using this topic. We all know that this guy is a looser and stupid for doing this. But please leave it alone after about a day of press and let the people decide, because there are many other topics that rank higher on my important meter than Alec Baldwin. I am not trying to brush his behavior off as a good thing at all, I will be the first to say he is very stupid for saying those things to his young daughter, but he did it, now let the people see his dumbness and let the story subside.

What is Trivial?
Answer: The Imus Incident.
After watching the news today and seeing the sickness on the television it just shows how trivial the Imus incident really was. Get ready for people pushing gun control. Thats all I have to say, I am tired of the stupidity in this world.

Learn The ABC's
A,B,C,
You really need,
To think about you and Disney,
For I will never put you on my TV,
Just a little Rosiesque writing.
ABC/Disney is going down the road to failure. I can't think of any way to put all of this elegantly, so here it is:
Same Sex Couples and Fairy Tail Weddings
Here we have the acceptance/collectivist/PC crowds thought process at work. Read the article let it speak for itself.
Rosie's 2 Whole Paragraphs
Read the Rosie O'Donnell blog/rebuttal to her criticizers.
"If the very act of asking is so destabilizing for people, than I have to wonder whether the fabric of our democracy is indeed so raveled it is beyond salvage." -R. O'Donnell
First off republic not democracy. Second "asking"? If I tell you that global warming is fake I am not asking whether it is fake or not (which it is, just as her 9/11 view is) I would be telling you that it is a fake THEORY (as I just did) you can ask questions but if your going to ask them before you provide yourself with an answer.
Click Here for proof that her THEORY is fake.
The position from the left is that we just need to give them a chance to live their way and we can live our way peacefully. Didn't we try that in the 90's after we were attacked time and time again. And it finally took one big blow on 9/11 to make people see that it is not all puffy clouds and hearts down here on earth. Oh but wait she thinks it was fake so that argument does not hold water with her or any of the other nut cases.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If a terrorist has and AK on each of our backs we would both die. Not just me she would too, and I really don't want that because I think she has some things she needs to work out with her and God before she dies.
She says "You can walk through life believing in the goodness of the world or walk through life afraid of anyone who thinks differently than you and try to convert them to your way of thinking." The world is not good the world is evil and deceptive, the world is bad and I do not want to become one with the world or believe in the world. The world is filled with imperfect people and good and evil exist whether you like it or not. Everyone is not some strange shade of good that we just don't understand correctly, evil exists.
Ahmadinejad wants Israel demolished. Its not that he is evil or anything its just that he sees things from a different perspective so we have to sit back and let it happen. That is what I gather from her statement. I just cannot imagine that this is what she is talking about when she says the "goodness of the world".

Everythings "Out of Control!"
There are not many of them left these day's. Guys like Dino and Frank are gone so is Johnny Carson and we don't have many old media guys hanging around anymore. I can honestly say that Regis Philbin is one of those guys. He holds the record for the most hours on television and has been around for quite some time now. He really is one of the great television icons left. He hasn't sold his soul to the devil like most and stays pretty true to his roots and most of all he keeps his mouth shut when it comes to his political views.
He announced today that he will be undergoing a heart bypass. Everyone just keep good old Regis in your prayers because there's not many like him left in Hollywood.

Top 10 Puppets
It is time for everyone to cut the strings that bind them to their pride in their ideals and admit when you are wrong or have said something false. If you make the list it is not a good thing. It means that you are a cheerleader for a certain idea rather than an intellectual thought that is clear. I will admit that sometimes I might fall under that category of cheerleader or person for a certain ideal, but the very fact that I have come to terms with this and I can admit that it happens leads me to believe that I am exempt. The people that I am talking about are people that make a living or get unwarranted recognition from their stupidity and/or their ignorance.
10. Drivers
Everyone that drives in this country at one time or another will make a mistake whether they know it or not. The funny thing about people that drive is that they are some how attached to the idea that everything that they do good or bad is justifiable, but if someone does it to them they are the worst driver in the world. I fall under this category sometimes. How many times have you heard people say “nobody knows how to drive”. So in this case people are puppets to some strange thought process that they are the best drivers, when the truth is they are not.
9. Talk Radio Hosts
Talk radio is a great thing and it is a good place for the right to counter punch the left leaning media. But there is a problem in talk radio that needs to be explored. It is important that this is mentioned. Talk radio is entertainment, in other words it is news related items that entertain a certain position on any one subject, it is in no way shape or form journalism, it is one huge editorial. The problem starts when you get to people that tied down to their political party. Most of the time these people cater to republican ideals only. So in other words if a republican said that jumping off a bridge was the right thing to do they would support that opinion. I think that that is a very bad and dangerous road to go down, because you are only digging yourself a hole that you will eventually fall in. It is crucial to point out that there are Democrats (notice I am not using the term left or liberal because this specially refers to people agreeing with a party’s side) that do this too but there are more republicans.
8. The Music Industry
This industry is one that consists of many left leaning people even communists at some points in history. The sad thing is coming from a person like me who loves music from all people, the left puts out some of the best music. CCR, Springsteen, Young and many more. I am hesitant to put Bob Dylan in that list (see next item). The music industry like the news industry caters to the far left for a reason that is unknown. Probably because music is artistic and a lot of artistic thinkers tend to sway left but that is slightly erroneous and a blanket answer that generalizes to much. In the case of the music industry the artists are puppets to their own ideology that in a lot of cases most people do not want to hear anyway. Given the exact perfect timing and the exact perfect wording sometimes it may work, but not very often. For the very reason that I am against my blanket statement, it is the same reason that I am against what comes out of musicians, which is usually one-dimensional thoughts about war and peace that have no artistic value and are nothing more than people trying to force an idea down your throat.
7. Bob Dylan
This is the one time that I was talking about in the last item, he wrote and made his music at the exact perfect time. Bob Dylan is used and abused by so many people that it is ridiculous. In fact I am probably doing it here. There are websites out there that are only about Dylan stuff and for some odd reason they feel the need to post topics on these sites and in articles about artists that come from the left. It is not uncommon to see the Dixie Chicks and Bob Dylan in the same article or website. Just because the Dixie Chicks don’t like the President they are suddenly right up there with Dylan. For anyone that likes him that is Dylan blasphemy. Through out his career people have been trying to push him into corners claiming that he is something that he is not and time and time again he refutes them but they keep on coming like hungry rats. It really makes me sick and that is why I try not to make him out to be anything other than himself. When you go to read articles about the man the writers for some odd reason think they need to place words in some poetic or artistic form like they are trying to emulate his writing. This is sad because people have chained him down and tied the strings on to his arms and legs and he keeps cutting them off but he is not fast enough. He is a huge puppet that people use. They use him to talk about things pertaining to the right and the left. And that it is quite sad. Quoting him and using him as an example for something is fine but when you start grouping him with people that he doesn’t group himself with leave it alone.
6. Americas “World News”
World news in and of itself is a strange dichotomy because in news media there is a target audience and usually that target market is the country that you are broadcasting from, but for some reason it doesn’t work that way in America. For some odd reason in an attempt to get attention or ratings (which has proven itself useless) the news networks in America consistently provide news that denigrates the country. I have said it before and I will say it again, it comes from the Cronkite syndrome, a strange way of trying to appeal to people the same way Cronkite did during the Vietnam War. In this case the news companies are puppets to a strange marketing technique that try’s to appeal to the left and provides shock value, which doesn‘t surprise me because a liberal thought process (liberal is used literally) will almost all of the time give you some added shock value.
5. Movie and Television Industry
The emergence of a strange new movie and television industry that caters to the left, feminization and societal degradation is fairly sad. It constantly denigrates men, the family, decent human values and heroics. It is not even that they are pushing anti-hero’s it is down right dummying down of all of the aforementioned. Saying feminization is not a hit on women either, it is a hit on the writers that make men have no place in a family setting other than occupying a place on a script as a comedic whipping post. There are no more Cliff Huxtable’s, Alan Seaver’s, Rocky Balboa’s or John Wayne’s there are men that are clueless and sometimes even women that have no idea what is going on in their own lives and families. And people wonder why the role model is dead. There are some movies and shows out there that are good like “24” and the new “Rocky Balboa” but overwhelmingly they are not good and nothing new ever comes out of these people. They are puppets to societal pressure.
4. Religious Groups
I am referring to strange groups that claim to be Christian groups when they are nothing of the sort, they are “religious” and they do certain customs that are not lined out in the Bible at all. These are religions that are on the verge of being cults. I need not mention them we all know who they are. What I will do is coming from a Christian perspective I will tell you what they are not. They do not kill people they don’t agree with. They do not believe in any certain dress codes or weird things that you have to DO in order to get to heaven. They will not force you to DO anything and they will not insert their own worldly ideals into their teachings. These people are puppets to ideas that come out of thin air. There is a big difference between religion and faith in God. Religion seeks out to force you to do things to get somewhere, but faith says that (if you have any) doing what needs to be done will come naturally.
3. Educators
Educators are some of the worst people to talk to about governmental affairs. They will always say that education is the only way a person can get anywhere in life and that is totally and unequivocally false. In this day and age college is nothing more than a hot bed for sex and drunkenness and a place where teachers use their classrooms as pulpits instilling people with ideals and that is not conducive to a healthy learning experience. They are puppets to the idea that knowledge is the same as wisdom, and that with education you are unstoppable when that is totally false.
2. Government
The government is something that has to be restricted by its people. The government in America is slowly gaining power that it should not have. For example judges are making decisions for the people and that is not the foundation of freedom that America was based upon. The people know what is best for the people. The only thing the government should be a puppet to is the people, but they are puppets to power.
1. You and Me
We are all puppets to our own thoughts and ideas. I am a puppet to me and you are a puppet to you and that is the irony of it all, no one person can ever come from a totally unbiased position. They will always be dangling their ideas and conclusions in front of your face like a puppet. We are all puppeteers.

MSNBC on NBC
While watching MSNBC I saw the network reporting on news that was televised earlier on NBC's morning show "Today". The news headline on MSNBC was something like NBC News Now Calling Iraq War a Civil War. I find it comical that a news network is in essence reporting on itself. NBC and MSNBC are owned by the same parent company, just so it is clear that there is a correlation between the two.
It should be noted that I am not disputing whether or not this story is true or false all I'm doing is finding amusement in this story.

There Is Something Wrong With Society!
I don't know why we do it. I do it, you do it, we all do it. Do you ever think about it? What is it? It is the fact that we all give our money to companies that are constantly ruining our society. A woman came into my work during my shift and was harshly saying how she won't shop from a certain store because they support pornography. I have heard this many times and I have even used the following reasoning as an analogy for other situations that people bring up as various reasons for not shopping to a store or restaurant. The one question that I asked her was, do you shop at your local gas station or for that matter purchase gas? My next comment to her was they sell pornography! When I said that she said "wow I never thought of that".
That example was a very pithy example that has no effect outside of the United States. You can use the gas stations as another example the easiest and most well known example is gas itself! Who do we buy our gas from? We buy our gas from the middle east, enough said. That's only two examples and right there you are already assisting in two industries that are not doing anything good for the country. That brings me back my original question, why do we do it? Why do we buy product from places that use the money that we give them to buy more products that are damaging to our society? The answer in short is because we do. If you were expecting some profound answer I cannot give you one. Right now you may be feeling like you just read this for nothing, maybe you were looking for some sort of answer, to tell you the truth I don't have it.
I can tell you this though take three things that you use every day, for me it would be my computer, my car, and house. Now that you have your three things see how using them will negatively and positively impact society. For me my computer time is spent on the internet my internet is the local cable company who gives the service of pornography (if you purchase it) and internet (which has pornography on it) to people that like that sort of thing so that negatively effects society. But they also provide some good children and educational programming and allow me to do this, so that is a plus. Next my car, I use my car for work and I buy gas just as anyone does so I am guilty of giving money to companies that buy gas from places that I don't approve of. Last my house that is very broad but I use my house as shelter from rain, I use it to stay out of the heat and I use it to keep my goods and to power my goods, such as my computer and TV and cable which all lead back to something that can have negative effects on society.
By now you must be thinking that we are all doomed, that there is no way out and no matter what I do I will be giving people money that don't deserve it. I used the three things to illustrate that in all actuality there is very little that you can do and there is very little that I can do. But we are not doomed! There is a little thing that I would call intent, what are your intentions when you use the internet? What do you use the cable for? And What do you shop at the gas station for?
I would hope that the answer is "what I need to get by", because there are very few places that we can trust anymore, they all do it and no matter what you do there is almost not escaping it unless people all turn into hermits. So my one recommendation is to attack it at a lower level for example that local business that paints pictures and hangs signs that condemn our troops, don't eat there. But when you try to take it to a higher level it is nearly impossible, because when you are dealing with corporate companies in some cases you have to accept that capitalism must take its course. At the same time don't give up the fight, keep trying to find new way's to keep your money going to the right places.
That example was a very pithy example that has no effect outside of the United States. You can use the gas stations as another example the easiest and most well known example is gas itself!

Issues in the news. How do they do it?
Television news is quite an amazing medium. Why you ask? The reason is simple because in this war as with the wars as far back as in the 1960's we have to wonder if we would have been better off not knowing what is going on or in other words what is supposed to be going on. There are many sides to the story of the war and it seems that they are always trying to target the market as a whole in order to please everyone by giving them what they want to hear instead of the truth.
Taking a look at all of the sides of the story. Starting with the support and working our way down to non-support. You have the people that support the war and support everything that the administration does. These people are most likely on the very far right and a lot of the time do not take a time to rationally sit and think about what they do and do not support. Next you have the average right of center person including your libertarians somewhere close to this and are rational thinking and are no puppet to the administration. The center is most likely the hardest position to take and for that reason if news always took the center no one would watch. The left of center crowd or your average democrat who is not in support of the war but is at least not going to stone our troops. And then you have the Irrational thinking left of left people that do not think about what they say, who do not support the war and do not support the president and who will do anything and everything to get him out of power and the war stopped.
Now that we know about all of the sides lets examine the why news programming is actually hurting us rather than helping us. About a year ago when the hurricanes were in full swing and everything was crazy I found it amazing how little reporting about the Iraq War the cable news programs actually did. And that fact alone left me with only one conclusion that a lot of what comes out of the news rooms has to be spun in order to go on forever and by the time they're done spinning it they're very far from where they started. The Iraq war is a back-up story, something that will always be there and something that they can always ask a question about that doesn't really matter. The reason why we know that these stories are spun a lot is because when we hear stories from the news rooms and news from bloggers like Michael Yon and other people who are in Iraq with the troops they are telling the truth and not catering to a certain audience.
We see the same thing happening now with Israel and the Iraq war as we did with the hurricanes and the Iraq war. So lets examine this question are we hurt or helped by all of the news that we have? The short answer is yes and no. No because we are not hurt by acquiring information. The only reason that the answer would be yes would be because we have to trust people to give us true information rather than give us information that caters to all points of views or a position that caters to the radical points of view in order to get ratings. After Walter Cronkite put on his show for the American people in opposition to the Vietnam war I think that the networks liked it. The only problem is that it doesn't work as well as it did 20 or 30 years ago.
Taking a look at all of the sides of the story. Starting with the support and working our way down to non-support. You have the people that support the war and support everything that the administration does. These people are most likely on the very far right and a lot of the time do not take a time to rationally sit and think about what they do and do not support. Next you have the average right of center person including your libertarians somewhere close to this and are rational thinking and are no puppet to the administration. The center is most likely the hardest position to take and for that reason if news always took the center no one would watch. The left of center crowd or your average democrat who is not in support of the war but is at least not going to stone our troops. And then you have the Irrational thinking left of left people that do not think about what they say, who do not support the war and do not support the president and who will do anything and everything to get him out of power and the war stopped.
