Satellites do many awesome things: they allow us to communicate with friends and family, they help us find our way home when we're lost, and
of course, they bring us television -- delicious television. But there
are a few downsides to those hunks of metal and circuitry floating above
the surface of the earth, and for drivers in Britain, one of those
downsides is now speed traps. (Those of you who think…

The shit is getting deep over here.... Literally...this is at least the 15th time that my bank has contacted me to advise me that if I don't get their overdraft protection for my debit card, my card will be denied for insufficient funds when appropriate.....
SO...???
The reality is that they WANT me to be afraid of being seen in public with a card that is declined. They WANT me to believe that when my card declines for lack of money that I am "less-than"...a…

The Ministry of Truth
The Ministry of Truth was how George Orwell described the mechanism used by government to control information in his seminal novel 1984. A recent trip to Europe has convinced me that the governments of the world have been rocked by the power of the internet and are seeking to gain control of it so that they will have a virtual monopoly on information that the public is able to access. In Italy, Germany, and Britain the anonymous internet that most Americans are still…

Industry generated success newcomer rapper Drake to play Obama on big screen? Well, it had to happen. By the time this one hits the big screen, we are in for a big dose of propaganda. Product placement anyone? Oliver Stone continuing his ride on the freedom train after W. and Twin Towers movies?
