WATCHING COMMENCE!

What a Weak Week

Oh what a week it has been! -well, for everyone except the Libertarian party. The official Blog of the Libertarian party (http://www.lp.org/blog) has been busing with daily post, don't get me wrong, but the posts seem strained and deal with obscure issues in my opinion. A perfect example of this, is the post on Oct 8th " what will the NRA do?" which just talks about how the NRA has yet to announce who they will endorse in the presidential election. Here's an article that goes into more detail (http://m.apnews.com/ap/db_7775/contentdetail.htm;jsessionid=90529BF1E5D83DC46BC125F019F86CFE?contentguid=L17Qg6We&full=true#display) - The post just end up talking about how Bob Barr, Bob Barr? - how Bob Barr has always had an A+ track record with the NRA. Not all of the posts lacked direction, the post on Oct 16th announced that the Libertarian party's recent Radio ad is in fact a hit with the public, so much so that Fans have made their own, here it is for your viewing pleasure ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1_-KKle-1U) *pay close attention to the old woman* - The most recent post deals with a Third Party candidate debate. in the post Mr. Barr announces that he will only debate one man, and one man only, Mr. Nader. I found this a bit aggressive and just mean, I mean whats wrong with a debate against Senator Brad Esposito? ( Kitten08.org).
-So yes it has been quite a week, one weak week.

Politics, Delicious, Delicious Politics.

In my ravenous hunger for keeping up to date on the stances of the American Libertarian Party (and for the sake of passing Political Science), I’ve come across a blog, and I must say this is one is, well its just tops. The blog is updated practically everyday with various stories and events relating to the Libertarian Party and Bob Barr, you know Bob Barr. The site is by Terra Eclipse, which has had a hand in many other political blogs; although sadly after extensive research, I failed in finding any kind of ironic contradiction in the political parties/ politicians they represent with their blogs. I digress; the Blog is actually full with interesting stories. Check it out! http://www.lp.org/blog

This Blog just radiates a feeling of “this is a part of the U.S Government”, which being that it is the official blog of the Libertarian Party brings a smile to my face. The blog isn’t flashy and really just focuses on the stories, which I really like. I don’t want you to think by saying it’s not flashy, that I’m saying it’s in any way, shape, or form not visually appealing, in fact the soft colors and simple text really make it a breeze to read. As I said before this blog is far more “official” then any other blog I’ve come across. It has its own email sign up, an official crest of “The Libertarian Party- 1971”, and what sold it for me, it’s actually on the official web page of the Libertarian party. Last but certainly what makes this blog different is that it’s just CRAM-A-LAMED with mounds and mounds of information on the Libertarian party and their current fights within Washington…SEGUE COMMENCECON!

The latest post by Andrew Davis, you know Andrew Davis (I’m starting to see a trend here) on October 2, 2008 talks about how Senate has passed the Bail out Bill. The post brings up a lot of good reasons we as tax payers (just because my annual income is a whopping annual $1200, doesn’t mean I don’t pay taxes) should be outraged. Apparently the Bill started as a 3 page document, and as “sweeteners/Pork” was added it grew into an obese 451 page document. The sweeteners ranged from more regulations on insurance companies, 192 million dollars to rum producers in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, and to the obscure relief of wooden arrow producers. Now I’m no economist but wooden arrows? At least let us know if their arrows for hunting or for direction! One statement really hit me “Is this taxation without true representation?” I do feel a bit of truth in it. What do you think?

-The views expressed in this post, in no way reflect the views of Dave Ciccimaro, or Respectfully Mr. Pockets...or...maybe THIS statement in no way reflects the views of Dave Ciccimaro, or Respectfully Mr. Pockets....hmmm...lets just assume that nether the posts' views or the statement refuting the posts' views as Dave Ciccimaros' or Respectfully Mr. Pocketss' view, are actually expressing the respected parties views...also Mr. Pockets is a Cat, and he is quite the Gentleman. Stay Fast.

Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.

In my conquest of the inter-web, I've found a strange blog. A blog with no real obvious theme or reason. The only thing i could find out about this blog is that its called "The Phantom Notebook" and it may or may not be about reviewing magic tricks. The blog seems to have been dormant for some time but after reading the first post I am immensely hopeful that the person behind it will continue to work his/her magic. Until then I will continue to follow it. ever hopeful. "The passion for play is probably as old, and will be as enduring, as the race of man." -The Smiling mule

I also found a blog that is currently in the process of answering a question that has perplexed scholars since before the time of Charlemagne! The question of which I speak is ofcourse "If a man was to go for a jog, then why'eth should he not persure the act of juggling there in". You now know the depth of what were dealing with here. JOGGING+JUGGLING= ~JOGGLING~
The site is actually very professional, but it keeps that wholesome look, so you know some robot isn't playing with your heart. The blog is stewarted by "The Average Joggler" and his posts focus on both Jogging, juggling, and at times Joggling. Theres even how-to videos giving some pointers on the ancient art of the future JOGGLING.

The Dumbest Generation?

Mark Bauerlein, an English Professor at Emory University, provokes the idea that the Digital Age has given birth to the dumbest generation in his new book "The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future". Although Bauerlein does raise some shocking reasons for his claime, in the end its all about how you view them. The first thing that stood out to me was that Bauerlein believes that our generation hate reading books and even dicourages reading books. This hit me as a gross generalization, I myself love to read books and countless others within my generation share my love. The reason there are some within my generation who hate reading, is simply that it has been forced on them thier whole life by who I like to call the Older Jealous Folks, with rantings along the line of "Stop fooling around with that (cell phone, television, computer, xbox, ect.) and do something worth while, like read a book". these rantings are compiled in the minds of my generations and then unloaded back at the OJF as teenage anxt towards reading and books. Bauerlein brought up the idea that my generation can't spell without the aid of spell check, and my simple responce is alright. So what if we cannot spell without the help of a computer. If in your childhood you where presented with such an amazing tool as the spell-check would you just throw it aside? I think not . I really believe Bauerlein may have been his schools spelling bee champion, and now his skill is much less aprechiated It is slightly odd that he would leave out the use of calculators and computer navigation systems in this whole crusade on technology. I laughed when I read that one reason for my generation being the dumbest was, that we ridicule original ideas and good writing... on myspace. first off myspace is not an intelectual place where original ideas can thrive, and therefore should not be used as an example for a claim as outrageous as calling an entire generation dumb. Secondly Myspace is a social networking site where people go to keep in contact with friends, not write essays. The only thing that I agree with Bauerlein about is that my generation is young, and with youth comes stupidity. I haven't a doubt that I will look back and realise how ignorant and naive I was. That is the nature of ageing. with old age comes great wisdom. My generation can be called the dumbest, but our judges should take into account that they cannot fully judge us because they are entierly different. they were raised differently, taught differently, lived without what my generation has always known. We are not ignorant, we have different skills more compatable to the current Digital computer age.
