Tom Needs Help! Please! Please!

Current mood: annoyed, cynical

Just this morning, I found another . . . gem . . . in my inbox that landed there with the same plopping noise that my dog makes in the backyard —

Could everyone please send these commericials out to everyone you know to help Tom^[1] get his message out...Thanks

Considering that his "message" seems to be equivocation, slander and libel, as we saw during his campaign against Adam Kokesh, I can't be bothered.

What's the matter — isn't he getting enough money from the GOPNM to run an effective campaign? ha ha ha — serves him right. Serves the GOPNM right, too, for supporting such an unprincipled candidate.

I don't know about you, but I can survive another two years of Ben Ray Lujan in the office. Maybe the GOPNM will smarten up in those two years? Maybe they will, but I'm not betting on it.

Anyway, those wanting to hear what a real liberty-supporting candidate sounds like need only tune into 1550 KIVA-AM^[2] from 3-4 PM any given weekday, Monday through Friday. And any time he (Adam) wants to come on The Weekly Sedition with me as a guest, the door is open for him.

Check Your URLs, OK?!

Current mood: annoyed, bitchy, cynical, geeky

While perusing a recent posting over at New Mexico Liberty, I clicked on http://www.nmpubreporting.certiclear.com/, as linked to in that article, and got the following:



So I changed the URL as specified in the picture above: https://www.nmpubreporting.certiclear.com/, and got the following:



At first, I figured, "What gives here?! Do I have to be a 'registered' senior citizen for this site to show me the data?" Then I re-entered the URL, this time taking out the "www." : http://nmpubreporting.certiclear.com/, and the data shows up.

The Moral of My Posting — Check your URLs to make sure they work before you finalize your post for public consumption. The ego you save may be your own.

Comic-Con vs. Fred Phelps

Current mood: amused, annoyed cranky

I found this on Facebook —

Nerds vs. the Westboro Baptist Church, Super Heroes vs. the Westboro Baptist Church

Doesn't Fred Phelps have anything better to do with his time than this inanity? Really.

Truth, Lies and Cigarettes

Current mood: pissed

"2 Truths & a Lie" from "The Truth"

Guess the Lie!

• Cigarettes are 100% safe and pose no health risks to smokers at all
• Every 6.5 seconds, someone in the world dies from a smoking-related disease
• Sunburns can cause wrinkles; so can cigarettes

Sneaky bastards, aren't they — they put their preferred answer on top, and set the poll script to default to it.

Here's my version —

Guess the Truth!

• Smoking is a choice — just like drinking alcohol, smoking pot, crack, or meth, shooting up with heroin, speeding down the highway, rock-climbing, among other things.
• Cigarettes fly around on their own, force themselves into smokers' mouths, then self-ignite.
• Tobacco companies force smokers to smoke, often by threatening smokers' families with torturous, slow deaths.

The 100-Word Challenge

Current mood: amused

New Mexico Turn Around posts a challenge for the rest of us —

CHALLENGE: In 100 words suggest a solution for the economic mess toward which we head.

Oh, really?

Here's my response — let's see if I actually need the full 100 words . . .

1. Cut spending across the board — no special handouts for anyone.
2. Cut taxes across the board — no special breaks for anyone.
3. Repeal regulations across the board — no special breaks for anyone.
4. Repeal bad, wasteful laws across the board — no special breaks for anyone.
5. Bring the troops home from Iraq, Afghanistan and everywhere else.
6. Return to a sound money system (gold? silver?) for government transactions.
7. Repeal legal tender laws.
8. Repeal any law repugnant to the written U.S. Constitution or Bill of Rights.

I count 80 words.

And I dared to use That Word Which Shall Not Be Uttered In Contemporary Politics — "repeal" — not just once, but four times! Shame on me!
