You Think What?

We’ve long held the idea that watching news programs, any news programs, is a collossal waste of time. We especially find it true that anyone who is among the thousands millions who watch FoxNews Channel on a regular basis does so only to increase the lack of intelligence quota. or theLIQ. (This acronym when followed by the letters O-U-R are the reason so many people are watching Fox News Channel and come away far less informed than they were when they began watching the news programs offered by the cable news channel…) (more…)

There’s just no stopping the reprehensible rip-off artists, the predators in government and banking.  The beat goes on, and John and Jane Q. Public are on the receiving end of the beat down. (more…)

The recent news of released military classified documents related to the Afghanistan War, and the related hacking that was done to access the classified materials gave us pause, along with others, to ask questions about the term. We wondered how it came to be, and what constitutes the practice of hacking. How long have hackers been in existence? (more…)

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow  as “fake President Barack Obama” tells viewers what she believes the president should have stated in his address about the current Gulf of Mexico oil drilling accident. Watch. We tend to agree with nearly all she, Ms Maddow, as the “fake president” says.

We sincerely believe if the real President Barack Obama had said these things, he would have been more eloquent than Ms Maddow and equally as substantive in content.

He is known as an engineer, entrepreneur, and later in life a medical doctor. He will forever be known as the designer of the first commercially successful personal computer the Altair 8080.

In 1975 Henry Edward Roberts, called “Ed” by friends, family and associates, through his company Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems or MITS; brought his computer to the public with the help of Bill Gates and Paul Allen who developed the language, BASIC, and wrote the program to operate the machine.

Ultimately  Roberts’ machine would become the PC we’re all using today. The BASIC language of the machine’s operating system (OS) has become the Microsoft Windows operating system we all know and some love to hate. (more…)

” I hate the way they portray us in the media. You see a black family, it says, ‘They’re looting.’ You see a white family, it says, ‘They’re looking for food.’ And, you know, it’s been five days [waiting for federal help] because most of the people are black. And even for me to complain about it, I would be a hypocrite because I’ve tried to turn away from the TV because it’s too hard to watch. I’ve even been shopping before even giving a donation, so now I’m calling my business manager right now to see what is the biggest amount I can give, and just to imagine if I was down there, and those are my people down there. So anybody out there that wants to do anything that we can help — with the way America is set up to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off, as slow as possible. I mean, the Red Cross is doing everything they can. We already realize a lot of people that could help are at war right now, fighting another way — and they’ve given them permission to go down and shoot us!”

“George Bush doesn’t care about black people!”

Everyone complains about the overload of news and information. Much of what we see and hear is just so much unnecessary baloney. If your source for news and information is one of those 24 hour cable news stations, then you’ll instantly recognize the characteristics and style of reporting made light of in the video. It’s tough to fill everyday 24 hours a day with valuable news you can use.

We want to thank our cleverly comic friends at The Onion for providing this wonderful, and on some level salient, video piece spoofing the news. They’re telling it like it T-I-S!
