Poor President Obama. He misses “being anonymous.”

Doesn’t it just make ya wanna cry? Aw!!

Heck, PBO, we ALL miss being anonymous. How about ditching the National ID card, Google’s Eye in the Sky, Echelon, and government spies lurking in Facebook and Twitter, huh? ‘Cuz I sure miss being anonymous, too.

Well, this was a surprise coming from *another* celebrity. CNS News has a story about Garth Brooks talking about the Oval Office and how difficult the job must be for good ol’ PBO.

Wait wait wait!! Wait a second. “The system” did he say? Don’t you mean the U.S. Constitution, Mr. Brooks? Like, the entire LAW of the LAND?!

“Yeah, I think what President Obama is finding out is all that we want to do, the system kind of doesn’t allow the most powerful guy in the world to kind of do his job and I’m sure nobody’s more frustrated than him to complete those promises that he did and I think he’s trying his heart out. I love him to death and I fully support him and I just wish him well because it’s got to be hell in that office.”

No, it isn’t “all” that “we” want to do. I am kinda partial to the Constitution. We aren’t going to throw out the very founding documents that made this country great AND protect our freedoms just because you “love Obama” and Obama needs to “do his job.” It’s the Constitution that MAKES Obama president, hello!!! Some folks have heads too big to fit their ten gallon hats, I tell ya.

Folks, I’m sorry. I’ve been trying to be funny and not as crabby, but yow. Stories like this make me scairt. I need to go bury myself into seo moz again to lower my blood pressure…

… and the “war” in Afghanistan and Iraq?

Please… if this doesn’t prove that the media is biased, I don’t know what is. When their guy wasn’t in the Oval Office, ALL they did was go on and on about high gas prices and the wars. It was making me sick.

Now that gas prices are nearly $4 and the “war” rages on….

< crickets chirping >

Not a peep.

What’s going on?????? All very unfair, I tell you.

Oh well, like this is all one big surprise, as if we expect the media and etc to tell the truth…

I can no longer read the news headlines. They’ll give me an ulcer or an aneurysm. Plus, I’m too busy working like a slave trying to pay my taxes to make ends meet. :-p Although, working does have its benefits. :D I like the technology that helps me become more efficient. I am currently trying to tell my boss that I need an iPad so that I can make a Conference call when I need to. :D In case you are wondering, I’m self-employed. Hah.

Anyway… the state of things in the country make me uneasy. And the absolute silence from the media makes it worse.

Darlin’, LET GO of the leash when you play “Catch,” honey.

I think they both lose.

Lions prefer blondes. YIKES!

Here’s a Richard Simmons apprentice-in-training. Oopsie. Better stick to the lipofuze reviews, toots.

A news story had a good report about Verizon FINALLY ceasing their profligate phonebook pollution:

The New York State Public Service Commission (Commission) today granted Verizon New York Inc. permission to provide residential white page directories only to customers upon request. The Commission’s decision to ensure that residential white page directories are only sent to those customers who want them will reduce paper waste and improve the overall environment.

“There is understandable momentum in all aspects of our society to create a more ‘green’ environment,” said Commission Chairman Garry Brown. “Customers have many options regarding finding telephone numbers, and future technologies may make this task even easier. Our decision today helps reduce paper waste, while ensuring customers who want residential white page directories can still get them. This is a win for the environment and for consumer choice.”

Well, ain’t that sweet.

It didn’t say anything about the most recent waste that Verizon made: namely, delivering the yearly phonebook on one of the rainiest days in New York State history. We got FOUR inches of rain that day, and some dunderhead at Verizon hung the phonebooks on the mailboxes! HELLO!!!!!!!!!!! The phonebooks got soaked– they expanded to 20 times their normal size and were all promptly thrown away!

WHY did Verizon do such a stupid thing? Everyone’s phone books in Upstate New York were totally trashed.

Anyway.

I don’t use the phonebook as much as I used to. I use my handy dandy ipod touch to check the numbers. Some amazing person created an iPod app with the White Pages and the Yellow Pages. So now all I have to do is flip on my iPod Touch, hit the icon, and the phonebook is there! All dry, no landfill trash, nothing.

Sheesh. FOUR inches of rain ALL DAY LONG and some goofball in galoshes places the phonebooks on the outside of the mailboxes. Unbelievable!

…is that Number One can boss you around.

China tells U.S. to keep out of South China Sea dispute

Anyone who doesn’t think that China has expansionist intentions has got their head in the sand. China is not a sleeping giant, it’s a sleeping DRAGON. And believe you me, you let this creature get enough fuel, it will breathe it’s flames on you.

For many, many years now, the United States has been kowtowing to China– socially, politically, and especially economically. We have handed over our manufacturing to them on a silver platter. What do you think they are going to do, sit fat and happy like America?

No, they are going to usurp power. Taiwan, Japan, the Asian islands, and then, Europe and the U.S. To think otherwise is idiocy.
