Maybe I Should Move to Calgary
Published March 28th, 2012 | 
Watching the news coverage of the Supreme Court hearing over Obamacare, I couldn’t help thinking that conservatives are doing everything in their power to ruin this country. Makes me think I out to get a passport, hop on a bus and move to Calgary. The Repugnicans are ruining everything. As far as they’re concerned, America is only for certain Americans, and the rest of us can go screw ourselves. So, I say … maybe they can have it, and the rest of us can move to Canada, where the people are friendly and you have universal healthcare.
Seriously, at the rate we’re going, the United States of America will consist of a few thousand rich people, homeschooling their kids behind the walls of a gated community country club and the rest of us will be out on the street. So, Calgary, it is! Why not? It’s a nice, clean city. Plenty of fresh, green air. I’m told they have a great zoo. I’m also told there are jobs there. The Repugs are always telling the 99-percent to get out if we don’t like getting screwed over time an again. So let’s all move to Canada.
Is Google+ Better Than Facebook?
Published March 1st, 2012 | The truth is, I’m not that much into social media, so you can take much of what I have to say on the subject with a grain of salt. I have a Twitter account, but rarely Tweet. I have a Facebook account, but only log on about once a month. I think I even have a MySpace page though, again, I rarely log on and even then it’s just to listen to music.
Now, a while back I may or may not have mentioned that I acquired a Google+ account during the early invite-only period. And I’ll have to admit, even though most of my friends are still using Facebook, I like Google+ better. There are several reasons for this:
1. It integrates nicely with Google’s other services.
2. It has a neater, cleaner interface and doesn’t freeze-up the way Facebook often does and is better organized (no timeline bullshit to clutter up your pages).
3. It’s easier search for things of Plus than on Facebook. For instance, say I was looking for something about the Internet marketing brand, Sterkly. I just type in sterkly Google+ and Sterkly’s Plus page shows up in the top results, whereas, on Facebook, I’d get pages and pages of people named Sterkly.
4. Better user control over privacy.
No, I’m not into social media. It’s not something I couldn’t live with out. But If I did spend every waking moment on a social networking site, it’d probably be Google+.
Watching the Republican Presidential Race is Like Watching a Wolf Chew Off Its Own Leg
Published February 25th, 2012 | About a month ago, wasn’t it, that Newt Gingrich was riding high as the front-runner of the Republication Presidential race. There were even a few people who believed he could actually get the nomination. Now here we are, the ass-end of February and the Republican primary race has imploded. Gingrich is in the basement (he may pull off Georgia, but that’s about it), the “inevitable” nominee, Romney is so transparent he’s on the verge of becoming invisible. And the current front-runner is that woman-hating, sweater vest-wearing turd, Dick Breath Insanitorium. A year ago, it seemed implausible that Obama could win re-election. The Republican Party was so convinced of this that they didn’t even try very hard to come up with a single credible candidate to run again the President. Now, I don’t care how load the yahoos shout it through their EAW PA Speakers, this race is now Obama’s to lose. If you support Obama, you should feel some comfort from that. If you hate him, you’ve got a problem. Because when it comes roght down to it, can anyone truthfully imagine the United States being governed by any of those Repugnican ass clowns? Really?
