John McCain Hates Stuff
Wonkette provides us with a fun YouTube video of John Mc"Crypt Keeper"Cain (a.k.a. Old Man Grumpus) in all his Luddite glory as he laments the newfangled sources of information. First, we got those damn "cables", and then there's those pesky talk radio shows and most heinous of all, of course... the dreaded BLOGGERS! OH MY GAWD THE EVIL BLOGGERS! He hates bloggers the most.
Damn you Al Gore, for inventing the intarnet! Damn youuuuuu!

McCain actually has some extremely eloquent writing in yesterday's Parade Mag, where he and Obama try to explain what Patriotism means to them. (Notice Obot wearing those flag lapel pins now, and copying all the positions Hillary had, even copying McCain on illegal immigration now?)
As for the evils of the internet, it's definitely had a lot of negatives, too -- ID theft exploded since everything about everyone is posted there, stuff from financial institutions and transactions going way back before the day. Isn't that just terrific, that Osama Bin Laden can sit in a cave somewhere and find out your mother's maiden name, her and your DOB (hey, isn't that the "secret" stuff banks ask for? And on a personal note, what women never had to reveal to anyone if they hid their high school yearbooks and looked a decade younger?), your financial assets, SS, all present and past addresses and phones, todos.
ONLY the US is dumb enough to do this, so thieves from Afghan caves to Nigerian and Romanian and Bell Gardens and theftmills can steal our identity by the millions! Gracias, Sr. Gore! (Oh, and thanks for the bright idea of turning corn into ethanol instead of food: now we're paying so much more for food and gas, while you play "energy credit" games with your private jet and 10,000 sq. foot house!)
And thanks to the internet, anyone can libel anyone and slander takes the place of news! Moms can pose as teen boys to make stupid teen girls fall in love with them, and kill themselves from a broken heart and while they know everything about YOU, they can be anonymous!
Most teens don't kill themselves, but peer pressure drives 13-year old girls to post naked pictures and make salacious comments, without realizing they'll be "out there" forever to haunt them in the future.
A homeless loser like the dogg who can't pay for gas or food or move his van, can use the internet to slime anyone with a public name, and advertise his site that no one would otherwise have heard of, on our taxpayer- funded Ch 35! (Doll, why haven't you gone down to city hall yet to SCREAM at the CM's, not that some don't deserve criticism in the appropriate ways, and promote YOUR site and superior views?)
Any rational person could see that the Internet has had some very negative consequences, too.
Oh yeah, very eloquent indeed.
Today McCain stated he would reduce the US budget deficit by winning the war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Say whaaat!
From a poster at the Huffington Post Blog
"A late educator once said "statistics are like bikinis: what they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital."
So what does Mc reply upon, the GDP, the PCE which replaced the CPI ... ya think that man really knows... I don't ... 'cause I don't!?
Good one Valley Doll!
Awww, Go blow your jets anonymous 1:40 PM. Granpa Mccain reprises the Bob "HELLO, MY NAME IS BOB DOLE" Dole role of the 1996 Presidential campaign. Only, this guy John, lacks the charm and personality of Bob Dole. Yikes.
PS. Keep taking no prisoners and no crap, Valley Doll. (-,
At least McCain says what he means and means what he says, like it or not. Obot's pendulum's been swinging so crazily to the center right it'd give you motion sickness to follow it. After dissing Hillary for all her positions, he's now copied every single one of them, down to the lapel pin the Obots made fun of. No more Che- inspired posters. Oh yeah, and Obot's admitting it would be stupid to pull out of Iraq lickety-split, gotta give them Iraqis time to take over so Al Qaeda and Iran don't rush right in. And, he's saying maybe Iran's not such a nice, harmless country after all, sucking up to the Jewish vote and making them lefties awfully mad. Obama's been all about a quest for power, whatever it takes, just like we all knew. Except the Obot suck-ups.
If he ever gets to be Pres., the number of people it'll take to cover his vacillations and wipe his butt to keep him from imploding Year 1, will make Tony's Team of Deputy Mayors and staffers look downright miniscule.
Anyway, this isn't about supporting McCain or not, but his views about the Internet vs. that Big Pompous Phony Gore: McCain's right on that. That idiot even taking credit as "the father of the Internet" (who are Jobs and Gates, then? And all the profs who spent decades on the concept?) is SO stupidly, arrogantly DEMOCRAT.
Like Obot taking credit for being the successor of MLK, JFK (but not LBJ cuz MLK did it all by himself, back in the 60's when it took guts for LBJ to support black equal rights); Obot's even taking credit as the successor of the suffragettes, feminists, abolitionists, and those who ended fascism in Europe. No shit, check the dude's speeches of "hope and change." HO HO.
Sure, McCain has the charisma of a soggy squash, but they both suck.
Don Quixote you wouldn't know Afghanistan from Zuma's Van. (which incidentally probably smells better than your house) So shut the hell up.
Anonymous - oops I mean Valley Doll - 5:10pm stop congratulating yourself. Barf.
"At least McCain says what he means."
That's quite an endorsement. The same could be said for George McGovern, Eugene McCarthy, and Barry Goldwater who carved out their place in history as the biggest presidential candidate losers. Add to that Jesse Helms and Adolph Hitler who told us what they were thinking.
1:40 sounds like Andy Rooney. Ah, the evils of the Internet. Won't we ever learn from how television caused us to stop reading books, and how rock and roll corrupted our children?
And it's probably just a conincidence that the cold war ended, the Iron Curtain fell, and democracy replaced communism at the same time the Interet began to flourish.
Saw a bumper sticker:
McCain 1908!
8:09 = proves he's "Internet Stupid." Little bitty soundbites and too much personal info, his itty-bitty tiny brain is overfull of gossip about his neighbors and coworkers, and he's SO glad about ID theft, invasions of privacy that violate people's rights every day. BUT these same idiots get all worked up about the Bush Admin. surveillance of int'l calls from people they have reason to suspect for terrorism or ID fraud.
THAT is a fraction of the violations of private info all of us have floating out on the Net, being sold to every company trying to sell us "stuff we hate." I'm not supporting the Pres on this, cuz neither Admin. has done anything about guarding our privacy -- since 9/11, it's all gone in the other direction, and is getting worse by the day.
Viacom is suing Google to hand over private data id'ing ALL their users to see who's been downloading illegal stuff -- it's easy from there to get user names, get their whole lives in your hands.
But hey, Barf and Doll can find out that Jennie next door pretends to be 34 but is really 42 and owns property in Texas with her sister Sue, and that her mama's 78 and was born on xxyy. And is that her current unlisted phone?
(Except you can't find out any of that stuff about Gore, because if he asks for something to be removed for security reasons, it is.)
8:09 thinks the internet caused the end of the Cold War and fall of the Iron Curtain. LOL, what a fool -- if that were all it was, younger Chinese would be rebelling against their racist, fascist country, instead of using the Net to propagandize. Every time there's an international issue that makes people wake up about China's brutality, like their suppression of Tibet, the blogs even on the L A and NY Times are full of Chinese students and businesspeople in America justifying their country's policies, often posting identical propaganda under "American" names. And, incidentally, yeah, kids read a lot less (anything longer than 500 words anyway, and without pictures or gossip) since the Net. They may see endless snippets about Iraq, but never learn anything about its history -- if it's not on YouTube or MTV or TMZ, it doesn't count.
Why am I arguing with such nitwits, anyway? No point -- y'all are too far gone, minds melted by the Net.

That was funny. :)

Is Barf posting again?
Barf, Arf,

Hat is Baaaack! Help!
But the Internet is making a difference in China despite the country's efforts to limit its people's use of the 'Net. They have been questioning the government's tactics in dislodging millions of people to build the dam and the Olympic facilities, its actions in Tibet, and other human rights infringements.
The government knows that because of the Internet it can't control the information that its people get and their ability to express their feelings.
The resemblence between the Crypt Keeper and Obama is startling!
The LATimes has an article today on how even the tens of millions Obot wants to devote to his programs won't be a drop in the bucket -- as anyone who can balance a checkbook with more than five bucks in it can tell you, all the fantasies that he's spinning about a perfect America would cost billions - and just saying that if we end the war in Iraq we'll magically have all that money to throw at the poor and create big government again, is the real "voodoo economics."
But lefties don't like addition and subtraction too much. As that sage of our school board, Monica Garcia told Galatzan and Kanter when being questioned about spending all available bond funds for new small schools: "We're talking about change here, about moving things along, even if we don't have it all scripted out with dollars and cents.'
Make that, dollars and sense. Obot will fall on his face before he starts, but not before getting the entitlement people all worked up and unwilling to back down. Hillary and Bill will have the last secret laugh.
11:36: Living a fantasy about what she'd like to see about the Internet. Actually, China's arresting bloggers even mildly critical of itself, bans coverage of Tibetan issues on the net, got Yahoo/ China to turn over the names of users to them for persecution -- using all that data in exactly the worst possible way. Our government and companies like Viacom can get it via lawsuits against Yahoo/ Google. Oh, and if you've got the same provider for your internet, cable and phones, they've got ALL that data about you in a nice, neat file.
Personally I'm most concerned about the invasions of our privacy on a daily basis, and how easy it is for snoopy neighbors and anyone to get too much data about us.
Then there's all the financial/ SS data stolen from stores, banks, university databanks on a regular basis; that any low-level worker at a video store can access your DOB and Driver License number (crazy to have to give that the a Hollywood Video to rent a movie).
The snooping by hospital employees is way more widespread than reported -- in fact, it's common. Anyone can access that at your doctor's office. Passport files are snooped into. DMV records are given out despite people believing they're secret.
County records have way too much info available to just anyone -- they should require a subpoenae.
None of this was worked out in advance, so market greed took over.
