How deep does the rabbit hole go?

If you can't have faith in what is held up to you for faith, you must find things to believe in yourself, for a life without faith in something is too narrow a space to live. -- George E. Woodberry

Their agenda clear now?

mitch @ 10:01 am on February 16, 2010

So, the opinion show of Fox and Friends. Has decided to discuss some unnamed study that going to 4 years of college makes you more liberal.

They are saying its because professors are pushing their own liberal bias and that schools employ only liberal professors, and this translates into them rubbing off and being a bit more liberal. And to quote… they ask “How do with fix this?” !?!? First of all… I’m a little put back at the boldness of the statements they were making in the video. I mean… It says a lot about what they really want. They’re saying that people shouldn’t go to college because you’ll become a dumb liberal? Uhm… I’m sure that’s why… or maybe they’re using that as a reason to keep you from going to school and actually learning something… learning critical thinking? Learning how logic works… learning how if a=b and b=c, then a=c EVERY TIME! Learn to develop your own opinion, and be exposed to many different cultures and people, because government funded schools are required to admit an ethnically diverse student body. In fact it sounds to me like they like to keep their audience uneducated and dumb… so they’ll believe and act solely on the agenda they put forth. I mean… the proles were an excellent work force, keeping the party in power and able to do whatever they wanted. They just needed to throw a bone or two every now and again. I have to say… I think our education system is failing… on the basis that at the very minimum, high schools should be teaching Critical Thinking and Ethics classes at least in 10th grade.

My observation of the talking news heads….

mitch @ 11:51 am on January 27, 2010

So… I’m at home today watching baby Zoey, and I’m flipping back and forth between CNN and Fox News…. CNN spent a good 20+ minutes showing whats going on on Haiti. During that same time… Fox… Nothing but how the state of the union tonight is very critical for the Presidents reputation, even within his own party! There are things he has to say in order to keep the Dem’s from turning on him… yeah… so CNN is showing the horrible situation in Haiti… and fox is bickering and FUD stirring. Then Fox moves on to the recall of the “faulty” gas pedals of 8 models of Toyota’s. Basically saying Toyota is a HORRIBLE company for having a faulty product AND RECALLING IT. ie: THEIR FIXING THE PROBLEM!! at the cost they even stated of 8 million a week! It wasn’t government mandated… it was done at their own accord. But some how this is bad… they show up outside a New York City Toyota dealer and act surprised when someone doesn’t see it as a big deal… of coarse they don’t put that person on camera, because he was looking for a hybrid, but as soon as they find a crazy lady that agree’s that toyota is a horrible company, she gets a full minute to spout her bias moronic view. Her pedal stuck in her toyota camery and she hit a pot, making her an expert that should deserve some face time on the TV, that these cars should be taken off the market (which they were… as noted previously in the story) but they were even hinting that people should stop buying Toyota’s all together? WTF Fox! Really… Your about as fair and balanced as an iceberg.

===== Update ======
Just heard commentator say that “American’s” probably wouldn’t be so against the Health Care Bill, if they just knew what was in it. I’m befuddled… WTF!!! I don’t know of any other channel thats put more mystery and added more confusion over just what was in the bill other than Fox News… so… to answer his question… its because of you, you ass-hat…

Supreme Court Rolls back Campaign Spending Limits

mitch @ 10:39 am on January 21, 2010

Ok Republicans… Want something we can both be mad about? Want to talk about special interests? Want to know why I would have NEVER voted for McCain?

Supreme Court Rolls back Campaign Spending Limits THIS is VERY upsetting. What it means to you and me? Well, any corporation now has the same rights in the eyes of campaign elections as you or I. And they have MUCH deeper pockets. Want your voice to be heard? Not likely to happen because WalMart will get special time with each and every politician that will take their money. When was the last time you could sit down with your senator and have their undivided attention?

Oh and just so you know… Every Justice appointed by a republican… voted FOR this, Dems’ appointments… were against. Just to make sure you know.

IT job satisfaction at an all time low

mitch @ 1:12 pm on January 7, 2010

According to an article I found today… this is the case.. I would have to concur to a degree… I would however say that my “low” was more last year than this… As this one has been more of an upswing… slowly but up none the less. I still don’t have the time any more to collect my thoughts and thoroughly research things as much as I would like. Also the reason I haven’t rewritten my blog or changed the way it looks in years. However… this will change… soon. It may not be prettier… but I will have written it all… and… I will be modifying it and adding new as I see my own needs for it change.

Will a party with a spine please stand up

mitch @ 10:46 am on December 19, 2009

So I haven’t been following it to closely because I can’t stand all the petty bs spewing from both sides. However one side is definatly doing more than the other…. But Democrats…. grow a pair! I mean I don’t understand why you do anything to attempt to please the republicans, because they are against you because of who you are not what you stand for. No matter what, they will disagree with you because that’s what they are supposed to do. Their followers will do the same. They don’t vote on issues, they vote party lines. Stop trying to please them, because it doesn’t matter they won’t change their vote. It will be a lot more misinformation and FUD. So if your not willing to step up and do what you were voted in to do. Could we get the Green Party to please stand up?

Root the Motorola Cliq

mitch @ 3:23 pm on November 30, 2009

I’ve had the Motorola Cliq since the day it was released… and well… its “ok” I would say over all. Hardware wise I would say its great. I just really don’t like their software choices for Android and, well I don’t like the motoblur interface… why will they not let me change it? I understand fully why I can’t remove the apps I don’t use, because they’re part of MotoBlur. However, why does that mean I’m forced to root it to get a plain Android build on the phone? Why not provide the option Motorola? WHY?!!!

Anyway, since it is Android… it is only time before we have it rooted, and as such, I’m linking to boost up the site that wants what I do… and most android owners want… FREEDOM! Anyway, http://cliq-development.com Check it out if your in the same boat as me.
