Oct. 21, 2011 BYE=BYE MO-MO: Khadafy, Gadaffi, Qadaffi. Khadaffi, Gadfly….however you spell his name is no more. There is a lot of change taking place in the Middle East . The question is will these nw governments be U.S.-friendly? H,,,why do I get the feeling our military escapades over there are just begi8nning? GET A GRIP: ieve it when I saw on both CNN and MSNBC a story about a blogger who posted a website petitioning the producers of Sesame Street to have Muppets Bert and Ernie marry. to have a gay marriage. For those wondering why America is losing respect around the world, they need not look any further than this nonsensical non-issue. We are the same country who celebrated the 50th birthday of Mickey Mouse (a fictional mouse), encourages misspelling (texting), made Maury Povich and his island of misfit whores into folk heroes and offered William Hung a record deal. And we have the temerity to wonder why the mainstream media has no credibility? It's a damn shame that Americans are wasting their time debating what PUPPETS should do with “their lives," in particular when they have neither brains nor genitalia (the puppets, that is). I don't know how much "influence" these two toys hold over children, but if they hold that much, there is something wrong with the teaching methods of the parents. Stuffed toys cannot be gay or straight—THEY’RE TOYS! The gradual dumbing down of America continues… DELETE THESE JERKS: Cyber attackers should be made an example of. Stiff sentences should be imposed on any person or group that invades a company’s private information—customer data or trade secrets; or who shuts down a public utility, stifles commerce or steals information and posts it to another site—should be sentenced to no less than ten years in prison with no possibility of parole. The only way to stop such madness is to make an example of someone. It’s like getting in a bar fight with someone who has become drunk and belligerent. You have to kick his ass real good so that anyone else who gets malt-induced muscles will think twice before acting in similar fashion. In the case of hacking and other computer hijinks, jail time should be mandatory, and this includes anyone engaged as an internet scam artist, child pornography, bullying, spamming, or any company that infiltrates your computers with viruses, spyware or adware. Image, an internet universe free of spam and malware... GOING DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT: School begins and already California institutions are in trouble. With a major stock market slide, the state of California will bring in less than it’s expected $4 billion in capital gains revenue, meaning that mandatory budget cuts to the tune of $2.5-billion will occur in January. Those most affected will be students, the poor and disabled. This would mean shortening t he school year by seven days, not to mention the laying off of teachers, which would result in overcrowded classrooms. Worse, with the downgrading of the country’s credit rating by Standard and Poor, it will cost the state more to borrow money. And according to economist for the Public Policy Institute of California, Jed Kolko, the $917 billion in federal budget cuts Congress agreed to will also adversely affect California’s budget. The self-proclaimed “psychic” who three decades ago predicted that California would sink into the ocean was right; but it was not the Pacific Ocean, but the Red Sea... ------------ About the author: Timothy N.
