Moore A Prophet ?

---

I usually find Michael Moore's views sophomoric. It's like he is permanently stuck at 17. However, I have found this little gem which shows he can be quite astute.



We're working on it Michael.

American Exceptionalism

I must admit that I do thank God often that I was born an American. A land where dreams do come true with a little effort and courage.

Speaking of Dreams

I actually remember watching this on TV when I was about 8 years old.  It made an impression on me.



To this day that is the best speech I have ever seen in my life. Every word of it true and supremely delivered.

Today these are the people that claim they admire him. They use him as their symbol.



I would put up sermons from Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton but I can't find any worth including.

My Next Blog

---

Now that I have the hang of this I will begin working on my other blog relating to all things digital. The concept of IOpia came about long ago. I was sitting in the computer lab and was prompted to change my password. Out of nowhere came IOpian, one who dwells in the world of Input/Output; IO is a very common term in computer science.

It was so profound that driving home a concept unfolded and upon arriving I went out and signed up for every free email service I could as IOpian@. I also went to Network Solutions and acquired the domains www.iopian.com, www.iopian.net. I tried to get www.iopia.com but it was taken. About two years later the guy let that domain expire and I grabbed it for five years.

Now this was way back in the ancient days of the nineties. I stayed continually employed after college so I rarely did anything with this.

The first concept was a virtual world called IOpia that would be like a virtual village with links to a Mall, a Library, a City Hall and such things. In each link would be pertinent content. I even contemplating going to local vendors, photographing their wares and post them online.

I may still go this route as far as presentation but I think I want to confine it to Digital Art, Cameras and Music. I am tired of politics and I have this creative urges. Since I now find myself without income but also without distractions I think I will direct my energies that way.

I am still trying to decide whether to develop this using Blogger and point it at my domain or to use WordPress. I particular like the look and feel of WordPress sites. This new Blogger system is better than the old setup, in particular I like they gadgets concept. It encapsulates the elements of the page so it is easy to go directly to the code and do edits. I just need to do some exploration but I am leaning towards WordPress.

The primary consideration is that the address is www.iopia.com

Just Thinking Outloud

Hmmm... clean cut, articulate, self-made, charismatic state senator becomes US Senator for two years then the Presidency? It has happened before. Is it possible Conservatives may have found their voice in Scott Brown? Is it possible the Democrats can cheat enough to stop the tide from turning?

The Anti-Obama?

Update

So far so good. This may work out. Have the template commented for what parts of the code to tweak. Probably going to be worth the change.

The Second Shot Heard Round The World?

---

I am encouraged by the events unfolding in Massachusetts. Should Brown win it will be a moment much like a bunch of liberty loving citizens who had had enough of an overbearing force and began their revolt at Concord. Now perhaps comes the beginning of the Second American Revolution where the same spirit opposed to tyranny stops the assault.

Ted Kennedy was the epitome of the socialist left that longed for power concentrated into the hands of an elitist oligarchy, going so far as to bestow a pseudo aristocracy upon a wealthy local bootlegging kingpin's family. The People's Revolution was not fought to throw off one form of tyranny in exchange for another.

There is a certain justice, that with the death of the prince, the shot be fired by his successor from his empty throne. The shot that comes to be seen as the point where the American spirit re-emerged letting those who have corrupted that spirit know:

WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR BS !      NOW LISTEN TO US DAMMIT !

Brown For Our Senate

Obama Losing Cafferty ?

When the Democrats use two words we are now all free to laugh: Transparency and Bipartisan.

From an opinion piece by Peter Roff in US News & World Report:

The Talking Points Memo website reported Monday that Democrats in both the House and Senate are saying the process will likely follow the path of the House taking up the Senate-passed legislation, amending it and sending it back to the Senate, which will have to pass it again. "This process cuts out the Republicans," a House Democratic aide told TPM, indicating the congressional majority intended to make sure the Republican minority would "not have a motion to recommit opportunity."
