As every morning I tune into Democracy Now and I’m listening to a report on a video and initiative that has just been started to motivate people to move their money away from the big banks which are ruining this country. I think this is a great initiative and I’m going to follow the advice offered in this video and switch my bank account to a local community bank.
Maybe it’s just me but I think has to be one of the dumber things I’ve seen in a while. How anyone can keep a straight face when hearing this add is completely beyond me. I just heard this ad on the Lionel Show and I immediately had to report on this gem.
The Ad says “show your patriotism with a Chia Obama” and I keep looking at this orange head with green hair and simply can’t see the connection between clay and grass and patriotism for this country but who am I to judge. Perhaps they’re going for something funny here, but I see no indication of it. The website is well done, with video from Obama’s speeches, American flags and what not. Where the collage created on the website certainly shows enough red, white, and blue I simply don’t see how this is anything other than one of the more cheezier items I’ve heard about.

I‘ve been in this country for about 10 years now and I have to say I didn’t think it was possible to see a further decline in the level of discourse this country is pretending to be having. Where 8 years of George Bush and his cronies didn’t seem to get people roweled up enough, [...]

Well, I’m afraid I have bad news – changes have been implemented. I’ve installed a new commenting system driven by “disqus” which is a great web service that allows [...]
Hey Folks,
Nothing special here in terms of rants, just a quick note to let you know there’s a nice little toolbar now at the bottom of the page which is tied to my twitter and my facebook account. You can either join the meranting fan page, follow me on twitter or use some of other [...]
It’s one of many stories where the outrage is great, but we’ve seen so many other examples of how the big corporations are getting away with the most awful crimes, that we’re not even that surprised – at least that’s how I usually react. Can you just imagine for a second that someone you know, [...]
If you’ve been watching the health care debate, you know that it’s looking like it’s going to tank. The White House press secretary recently said that the Obama Administration was willing to look at all options and that the basic goal was to make the health care industry more competitive and therefore better for consumers. [...]
Glenn Beck quite frankly has alwas been over the top and after his various complete embarrassments of recent times, it’s hard to comprehend why this moron even still gets air time. Here’s the episode where he talks from his hospitcal bed. His most recent completely ludicrous project is titled.

It’s been over six months now where I’ve pretty much left my rants to a bare minimum. The main reason for this was that after years of bitching and complaining about all the things that are wrong in this country, I guess I had somewhat of a hang over from all the getting enraged. Like [...]
