"Journalism" when I was originally attending college, was what inferior students who couldn't do calculus would pursue in their attempt to overthrow and "fight the system *maaaan!*" even though it was that system that provided their parents with enough money to pay for their worthless asses to get a degree in something as worthless as "journalism."
However, as you age you start to appreciate the vital role a healthy, but above all, UNBIASED media and journalistic industry provides to the rest of the country in that they are the truth sayers and investigators that keep the politicians honest.
Too bad all the morons and idiots who were too damn lazy to take up real studies entered journalism, for this vital aspect of a democracy is now corrupted. And this corruption shows no more brightly than today.
In short the only real journalists (and I mean this sincerely, my personal political bias set aside) are the few bands of radio talk show hosts and Fox News.
Oh, mock Fox News as you might, but whilst the NYT excuses not covering the ACORN "whore" story on "journalists taking vacation" and the rest of the MSM seems nothing more than whores themselves for the socialist party of the US (and I really don't mean to sound hyperbolic, but that's REALLY what it is) it seems the only REAL journalists out there are those of Fox News, Glen Beck and other "radical" evil, right wing hate monsters.
Now, cute overdone, overused epitaphs used since 1993 set aside to describe Glenn Beck and his ilk as "hate mongers" and "racists", the truth still remains that;
Glen Beck is the only guy to bring down a communist Anti-American, racist like Van Jones
Glenn Beck is also the only guy to bring national attention to the criminal organization known as ACORN (aside from the brave AND GENUINE JOURNALISTS that filmed those films in the first place). Not to mention the scores of bloggers who brought down criminal hypocrites such as Dan Rather and the like.
Conservative/libertarian talk shows are the only ones addressing things like constitutionality as well as the finances of the country.
Pointing out the inconsistencies and genuine lies about health care being purported by the socialists in government and then reliably trotted out by their complicit MSM buddies.
And are frankly the only ones who can tell the American people what they DON'T want to hear as it is based in TRUTH and not RATINGS risking being ostracized and criticized themselves.
The larger point is that if you look at it from far far above with an eagle's eye view, it is not the worthless, spoiled brat "me-generation" boomers-come-journalists established in the entrenched traditional MSM that are doing any REAL journalism and investigative work.
It is not their children who were too damn lazy to major in something productive and instead chose journalism as a means to advance a cause rather than REPORT THE FREAKING NEWS that are the real journalists today.
The true, genuine and REAL journalists are those at Fox News, Glenn Beck, Rush LImbaugh, Reason, King Banaian, Jason Lewis and the hundreds of bloggers who do NOT have an agenda, but rather have intellectually honesty and the vitally important desire to pursue TRUTH not to mention a genuine care for the American people and the future of this country.
It's these people who are the genuine journalistic heroes of our time in that they do not only expose the criminals such as ACORN and Charley Rangel and Van Jones, but they do the job the established, bought-off, and corrupted media was supposed to do.
So you can go ahead and mock Glenn Beck.
You can go ahead and call all these "evil right wing bloggers" racists or sexists.
They don't do it because they're "sexist" or "racist" or just "generally mean and poopey people." They do it because they care about the country and the truth is the American public needs to pull its head out of its ass and start thinking independently or suffer the consequences. And instead of tuning into "The Nightly News" with shills and media whores such as Anderson Cooper and Katie Curick (I don't care how to properly spell her name), they might want to tune into a Glenn Beck or a Jason Lewis.
Because frankly, you can continue to be told what you want to hear by what is nothing more than an extention of the Democrat part of the US, or you can be told the truth. The blue pill or the red pill.
Sadly, most American don't have the intellectual fortitude to be Neo.

Jimmy Carter is Irrelevant
Isn't that the last president that make the economy suck as much as Obama is making the current economy suck now?
Right, Jimmy. Wilson said Obama was a liar, not because he was a liar (which he is) but because he's black.
If ever there is a cowardly and intellectually dishonest argument it is the;
"you don't agree with a black person? Well you MUST be racist."
To all you race whores and worthless former presidents, go ef yourselves because the racist label no longer sticks.

So I watched Inglorious Basterds and was not impressed at all.
However!
I absolutely LOVED the movie Kelley's Heroes.

Is this the US or the Middle East
A reader sent this to me and I do not know if the translation is correct (nor do I know what they cut out), but there are a couple points about this video;
1. Is he talking about the middle east or the US and our progressively lazy population where we don't produce anything here and just buy it from the Chinese?
2. Is he still alive? Such outspokeness would have raised the ire of terrorists and extremists and I presume he's on somebody's hit list.
3. Why the hell can't the MSM show this guy and parade him around a bit to show that there are moderate Muslims in the world and they're not all terrorists? Oh, that's right, because he's advocating capitalism. And THAT is the true sin, a sin worse than terrorism in the eyes of the left in this country.
Regardless, I would gladly sit down and have a beer with this guy.
Richard Kovacevich is Claude Raines
Yeah, we're "really sorry" that umm....this uhhh...highly ranked employee...ummm...somehow was able to live in this posh mansion and we're "SHOCKED, SHOCKED" to find out about this.

No, Men Do Not Like the Chase
I have a friend and I forgot how we got on the topic of conversation, but she said, "but don't you men like to chase the women? Don't you like it when we play hard to get?"
To which I answered her with a distinctive, "No, we don't."
Apparently the brainwashing she received from reading too many issues of Cosmo prohibited her from digesting and then installing the fount of information I just gave her and so she responded;
"Oh no, you guys like it."
To which I responded, "No, we really don't."
It took another couple minutes of conversation, but I finally convinced her that, no, indeed not, men do not like it when women play hard to get.
Alas, the difficulty I had in conveying this seemingly simple point to a rather intelligent friend of mine showed me that it is once again time for;
"The Captain's Dating Advice for Women!"
OK girls, here's the deal.
I cannot claim this analogy for it goes to another friend of mine (Spartan). Spartan said,
"You ever play a video game that was so incredibly difficult that after 15 or 20 tries you just inevitably gave up? Well, it's like that. After trying and trying and trying, and inevitably getting nowhere, you realize that it's not worth the effort to play the game any more, you turn off the Nintendo and you go outside and play."
And I think this analogy hits it right on the head.
No ladies, we don't like trying, infinitely and futilely to save the princess. And if it's too difficult we will turn off the video game and find something else to do. You've effectively made the game not worth playing and no amount of "points" or prospects of "conquering the game" will supersede the opportunity costs of doing something else.
Another aspect you must realize is how the patience for games precipitously drops with age.
I remember a video game when I was 13 called "Ninja Gaiden 2." It was a great game, but you got to this one point in the game where you just couldn't make this jump over a pit.
I tried and tried and tried, but inevitably, literally after 3 hours of trying, I gave up.
Now that was when I was 13. Today, at the ripe old age of 34, I don't give a game more than 5 tries. A perfect example is "Blazing Angels 2." You get to fly over Russia and fight off a Nazi invasion while co-coordinating not only a dogfight, but a ground assault and some Katusha rockets.
Good luck trying.
I tried about 4-5 times (each time took 10 minutes of separate game play), and after wasting effectively an hour, I said, "to hell with it" and sold the video game back to Game Stop.
The moral of the story?
The older men get, the less patience they have to play games.
Now, you can continue on reading books and magazines written by non-men about what men want and what they like. You can continue to play the games that were not only childish and NOT fun back in 1988, but continue to be just as childish and NOT fun AND have the added bonus of being "immature" today.
Or you can grow up, quit it with the mind/child/middle school-girl games and if you like the guy, go out with him.
As Keynes said, "In the long run we're all dead," and given the average life expectancy of a woman is 83 years, you really don't have the time in your finite lives to play something as stupid and childish as "hard to get."

Wells Fargo's Boyscout Badges
I bank with Wells Fargo because frankly I am burdened with a lot of work, and plain don't have the time to close my account, redirect all my automatic bill pays. Ergo I tolerate this more or less evil company. Inevitably I will switch to TCF because they did not take TARP money and are actually nearby.
However, on my many trips to the bank I notice up on the wall behind the teller's desk are these banners with each employee's name on it. And on these banners are little pins, kind of like badges on a boyscout's sash. Things like the "WOW" pin, or the "5 Years Service Pin" or "Goodie for You" pin and the "Charles Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence" pin.
And what angers me is that this is typical of corporate America where they think they can get by giving people worthless awards or plastic trophies or wood plaques for hard work instead of, oh, I don't know,
PLAIN FREAKING CASH!???!!!
It's insulting to workers.
Does management in these corporations really think "Bob" is excited when he has the most "Wow" pins on his sash?
Does he get to take that to interviews?
Does he take it home with him and wear it on his chest so when he hits the clubs the girls all fawn over him?
And seriously, when he dies, is that sash going to be prominently displayed anywhere during the wake?
Of course not, because Bob just plain doesn't give a damn about the damn sash because for all of his hard work he gets a worthless fabric adorned with worthless pieces of metal or plastic.
"Wow!"
Now here's the thing, and maybe, just maybe the PHB's of the corporate world will pick up on this, there are only TWO things that will incentive workers to work more (because I know we don't want them working smarter, because that usually brings about change and efficiency and is ruthlessly punished);
More MONEY
or
MORE TIME OFF
That's it.
That's all that's going to incent workers to do a better job.
And this weasily, blatantly transparent circumventing of this hard economic law is insulting.
I was in an interview recently and the middle aged man asked me "how would you incent your staff to work harder?"
I said, "there's only two ways. More money or more time off. If they come up with a way to save 2 hours a day, they either get those 2 hours a day off with the same pay, or I find them new work and pay them an extra 2 hours per day in wages."
That was the incorrect answer.
Alas, I think in corporate America they're going to continue to spend $20,000 on worthless materials, sashes and pins, instead just plain giving their employees the extra $20,000.
Update - Well, with a$$holes like these, no wonder the underlings of Wells Fargo only get paid in plastic.

Editing the Blog - AND GOOD NEWS!
Hi All,
I've updated to the new blogger layout and as some "Natasha Fans" may have noticed she is no longer there.
Once I remaster the art of programming the sidebar I will put her back up there.
In the meantime I will be putting together a blogroll, but you may have already noticed on the blogroll I have a link. This is (drum roll)

Wilson is Right
Obama is a liar and it is that simple.
It is underhanded "wink wink" "nudge nudge" "oops, we didn't fill out the paper work correctly" excuse that angers me.
Illegals will get health care just as they do welfare and other benefits they are not entitled to because of "sloppy" paperwork by government, democrat-supporting, public sector union workers.
Average Teacher's Salaries
Found this chart interesting in that in Luxembourg they pay their teachers (after 15 years exeprience) on average $90,000 a year.
It makes me wonder about the Luxembourgian education system and behooves a couple questions;
1. Do they have massive overhead then on "administrators" and "counselors" and "programs" and "assistant coaches" or do they just dedicate the vast majority of the money to (GASP) EDUCATION?
2. Do Luxembourgian children go to school, pay attention and pursue the sciences, or do they wreak havoc, misbehave, complain, and shoot their peers like their American counterparts while pining to go to college for "social work?"
3. If I walked into the average classroom, would their student to teach ratio be higher because (and I'm gambling here) the children ARE better behaved and thus it represents something more of an institution of learning versus a massive baby-sitting operation?
4. Since Luxembourg is a very rich country, they can afford to pay their teachers highly. So if we mimick their economy, teachers here could also get paid $90,000 per year. That would mean the NEA and teachers union would have to support free market, low-tax policies and capitalism that...oops. Never mind.

Won't Somebody Please Think of the Children
Found this chart interesting. What I also find interesting is just how much PUBLIC money is spent on the chillllllldren. $140,000 PER KID IN THE US?
You see, when people say, "Don't you want children?"
I say, "I already support a couple thousand through taxation."
And that is the truth.

An Older Post
In my boredom inspired surfing of the internet, I came across this one.
Dated, but good nonetheless especially for young female millennials who are about to enter college. And understand it's not me saying it, it's a woman, so don't yell at me.
She has moved to Townhall, I guess that is her older blog account.

I mean, you people in California wonder why you're over 10% unemployment and in general just have about the worst economy in the nation? Are you all smoking Windex or something out there to elect an idiot like this?
Veritably and certifiably psychologically delusional.
But, then again, you people want to believe in socialism so you need to elect morons like this who can ignore reality and live in lala land.
Again, another reason never to invest or move to California.

Anybody out there know where I can find the damn code to install a blogroll on my Blogger CLASSIC template?

Derivative Dumbasses
Geez, just when I open my mouth, some idiot points out to the "slowing" of the collapse.
No Nigel, it ISN'T good to see them slow down. It would be good to see them reverse.
Oh, but that's right, the Big O is in the office and we have to spin everything to make it seem like cake and ice cream.
Bush would be crucified for this kind of performance.

GDP Without Government Spending
I have termed them "derivative dumbasses."
People in the media who are excited when things "aren't worsening as fast as they were."
For example no doubt many of you have heard reports or in the news;
"Housing sales have slowed LESS RAPIDLY than in the past, sending the Dow Jones up 3%!"
"Unemployment has increased, but at a rate slower than last quarter, which prompted analysts at Goldman Sachs to change their recommendation from "sell" to "strong buy!"
Or, I'm waiting for the day the MSM reports this one;
"Barack Obama's approval rating, currently at 28%, is dropping at a less rapid rate, suggesting Americans are starting to realize how brilliant this man really is indebting us and our great great grandchildren!"
Of course it's inane and the reason it's inane is that the situation is still WORSENING, it's just the rate or "first derivative" at which it's worsening has lessened. Which is again like a doctor saying to a cancer patient,
"Hey, GREAT news! The cancer is spreading at a SLOWER rate than before."
"So is it in remission?"
"Oh, hell no! It's still spreading, but we've upgraded your life expectancy from 3 weeks to 6 weeks!"
But one that the MSM and leftists in the media/government complex were drooling over were the latest revisions to GDP figures which showed the economy going from -6.4% to "only" -1%.
The economy is STILL CONTRACTING, but at a slower rate.
This of course was then heralded as a great achievement of Obama and the stimulus plan. However, there was just one small problem. Government accounted for a disproprationate amount of the improvement.
If you look at the details, government spending was rather dramatically increased by 1.27%. Had this spending not occured, then the economy would have contracted by 2.27%, not the 1% people are all swooning over.
Now I know it's still an improvement, but don't you worry, the economy is not going to boom any time soon. I predict it's either going to stagnate like the Japanese economy did and we limp along for the next decade trying to find ryhme or reason in working more, or it double dips which some are also predicting.
However, allow me to make a couple predictions/observations;
1. If we are all excited about Obama getting a -2.27% "REAL" REAL GDP growth rate, it doesn't matter if the economy never recovers and never goes positive because even a -1% real real GDP growth rate will be an improvement.
2. As long as the economy's decline SLOWS, the media will still report the Obama administration as a success. It doesn't even have to reverse into positive growth. GDP's first derivative just must slow.
3. Remember when we were coming out of the 2000 recession after the Dotcom Crash. The PRIMARY chorus of the left that the economy was not recoverying FAST ENOUGH. This will be the measure by which Obama will be judged and he will be judged against that most incompetent and idiotic man in the world: George Bush.
