Just some thoughts

A couple of random thoughts: Bloody Marys made from scratch are always better than those made with pre-made store mix; “Good” vodka is not necessary for a good Bloody Mary, Don’t waste your money on Absolut, Hot sauce and horseradish are essential, People that go to the gym are jealous of the rest of us,  It is too hot outside,

The Print Media is Dead, Long Live the????

The implosion of the traditional print media has left a void that will be difficult to fill. Although the big media outlets were largely liberal, at least they were predictable. Whatever replaces them will be much harder to get a handle on and that is worrisome.

Corzine Is In Iraq, Perfect Timing

The economy is in the crapper and the governor is out of the state.  I think it’s great to suppor the troops but it would be nice if they had jobs when they return home.

A Couple of Random Thoughts

The Obama campaign bears a remarkable resemblance to a cult of personality.  A term coined by Karl Mark is a letter to a German political worker Wilhelm Bloss in a critique of the cult of the individual.

 

            I find it disturbing that the answer that Senator Obama gave to Joe the Plumber is remarkably similar to the following quote from Karl Marx.  Although Marx was not the originator of the phrase this is the most famous iteration of it. 

 

In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of the individual to the division of labor, and therewith also the antithesis between mental and physical labor, has vanished; after labor has become not only a means of life but life’s prime want; after the productive forces have also increased with the all-around development of the individual, and all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly—only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!   Karl Marx ‘Critique of the Gotha Program’ (emphasis added)

 

More disturbing though is the reflexive tendency of the intelligentsia to attack the messenger, rather than the message.  It is an ad hominem argument, classic error in logic.

Election Thoughts

It is very depressing to witness the absolute lack of critical analysis regarding the Presidential election among the general electorate.

Waking Up To the Sound Of Jackhammers sucks

Dateline Florence jackhammers at 8:00 A.M. The utter lack of common courtesy is annoying.  I hope that guy contracts an STD.

I don’t like buying stamps

The worst part about being an adult is buying stamps.  Despite all of the stuff you can do online the United States Postal Service has us over a barrel.  I only use stamps to pay one bill, my condo association fee.  Come on people welcome to the 21st century.

Besides that 41 cents to pay a bill that’s an insult.

We all have a Beef
