The News From Two Steps In The Future

OR, "I only bring you the news, and any concern I show is faked because I don't give a f'k one way or the other."

"Everybody wants to rule the World..."

"Now I don't want to get off on a rant here..."

Wal*Mart screwing employees, Hostess CEOs screwing their Twinkies, Petri dish went all in with his biographer, the foods I eat are genetically modified, and Israel is blowing up the people who originally lived there. I would not care if these f'krs ceased to exist. At least get them off of my TV so that it doesn't ruin my appetite as I eat my Soylent Green from Korea that I bought t a kosher 7Eleven.

For those looking for jobs, or other opportunities elsewhere, DON'T look for it here!

To me, who has the money and where they put it is just a bunch of semantics.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with making money and keeping it!

What gives anyone the right to legislate their own bias into law?

Isn't it a shame that we have an unsanctioned ambassador of good will to the United Kingdom?
They have their "Double-Os" licensed to kill. We have our "Zeros" with mouths shooting their own foot off. On Anglo-Saxons. The Gaffs continue.

Haven't we learned from Vietnam that friend or foe is not recognizable, until one kills you? They don't want us there! They have nothing we want! The US is the only nation that doesn't go for the primary goal of war, conquer or destroy.

It's not even safe to get some chicken at KFC!
Six homocides in ten days. This follows the shooting death of a 16-year old mom, just chillin' on a warm summer night. Is Oakland going for a record here?

Crop Failure Conspiracy
Farmers were awarded money to plant corn for us to get addicted to HFCS. Then raising the cost of it so that more can be used for biofuel. But selling it to other nations at a greater profit.

The news on TV lacks a lot of things. Sincerity being the foremost. Long ago, I posted that I would rather watch Jay Leno's opening monologue and Weekend Update from Saturday Night Live. CBS 5 is no exception, but at least it was the most concise of the Big 3. KTVU2 is more in-depth, but takes an hour. Too long for me with the 8-minute attention span. All 'breaking' and national news should be in the first 12 plus 4 minutes of commercials.

"Times have not become more violent. They have just become more televised" -Marilyn Manson

this is so true! Scandals, politics, and violence sell news. And especially disasters. They milk it until it becomes "old news." Politicians WANT to put their lies out on TV. Some people want their "15 minutes" of fame, like Balloon Boy. I personally do not care if Tiger Woods f^*$s around, or if Bonds suddenly dies due to steroid complications. Except for a very few genuinely compassionate anchors and reporters, I am tired of seeing fake ones on TV. Ask yourself "Whatever happened to..." and fill in the blank on any human interest story from not too far back.

By late 2009, whatever happened to...?"

The groper at Piedmont Avenue, Berkeley
The anaconda terrorizing a cul de sac neighborhood
The eroding hill accross the street from Highland Hospital
The restaurant robberies in Oakland

Current events and "breaking news" news is what advertisers want...and make no mistake about it, big corporations own the news! It's all about Ratings.

In Final
We are being fattened, made stupid, filled with paranoia, and given false hopes. Waiting for the next Messaiah. We/re just waiting in front of our facebook pages for that Great Culling and eternal bliss.

What Do I Care?

@ Rodney: would you like to opine? share with us your wisdom regarding this event, please. (yes, I DID ask, there's your personal invitation.)

Just so everyone is clear on this, I am NOT a party person. I have put down BOTH Obie and Romne, based on what comes out of their mouth. I AM disappointed in Obama, but as in most 'second term' elections, I am more afraid of the alternative than I am of the status quo. It's not that I like Obama, far from it. I never did. But I will not have the likes of the PEOPLE McCain, Palin, Gore, Dole, Kemp, or Rommney fk'n with me before they even get in the room! You wanted my opinion... that's it!

"what IS the truth? it seems yours certainly supercedes all."
There is no absolute truth. It is what each individual sees it to be. I NEVER said that mine, or that I am, better than 'all.'

"have you considered checking your sources?"
Why should I? I love to read, yes. But everything? Just to base an opinion? Come on now. That's why I have you and "everyone else" to break it down for me. I have other things to do.

This political cartoon is a source?

This November may see a repeat of events of a Friday in 34 AD.

Now, about the behive in the news today. The Health insurance mandate.
Every side of this issue is ugly.
In order to let you know why I feel the way I do, I need to tell you something about myself. I worked for more than twenty years. Because of health conditions, I cannot do so to complete a normal forty year career. Yet, I cannot recieve for another decade. Not one cent of what I had put in for the past two decades! By then there will be no "fund" even to be called a deficit.
I paid my fair share! I see it going to those who never worked a decent week in their fk'n life! Or just got off the boat. Angry? Hell yeah!

I did NOT approve of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, but had no choice in the matter. As I had stated about most bills, it has flaws. This is a last-ditch effort to unburden the federal government of its obligation to the sick and elderly. It is opposite to "universal" in that it FORCES citizens to pay more than their fair share into something I, personally, don't believe in. Insurance. A lottery, a protection racket, a shakedown... with the legislature as the "muscle."
"To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." -Thomas Jefferson

"At least $225 for an office visit. Depending on what I am being seen for."
I believe in saving for a rainy day; being able to pay for what I need. Not puting it in someone elses pocket. Especially not some collective. Insurance in any form is a scam! Car, life, and health... but all are requied by law. Services won't even be rendered unless you have "proof of insurance" so that the shop, pharmacy, hospital can gouge more from them than they can get from us consumers. The laws of consumerism and HIPPA supercedes the Hippocratic Oath. See no evil; see no sick... if they don't have insurance.

"To reduce the cost of health and elderly care, let them die"

"I can't afford to get sick" is being said by more people now than five years ago.

In my opinion. What's yours? I put a value on it, even if I may not follow it. I don't follow.

Addendum
In 2014 I will be arrested for not having affordable health insurance, because I am in no condition to work in order to pay for it, or the fine for not having it. "The prison system is an institution that has an excellent health care program and facillity." ~ Doctor Temperance, "Bones"
