New Phone to Break In

OK, just switched from an HTC Aria to a Motorola Atrix 2. . ..

Kinda forced to change since the Aria kept telling  me it was almost out of memory even though I had moved a all I could of the Apps to the SD card. . . .

So far so good.  Both run Android but HTC and Motorola have set things up a bit different.  I like the bigger screen and dual processors so far, and the extra memory is good too.  Even though the Atix is bigger, it is not much heaver so that has not been an issue yet.  I am waiting on an Otterbox for it, I need a good case and that will add a bit to size/weight on the phone.

More on this in a week or so after I get a good test drive in. . .

V for Vendetta

Finally saw V for Vendetta last night. . . .

I have to say it was a great movie.  I had to laugh as I though of the Occupods wearing the mask.  The don't get it.  V was against everything the Occupods were fighting for.

This was a great if scary movie about what happens when the government takes over your life.  The scary part is you can see the same things happening here in the real world right now thanks to Obama and the Fed.

Overall the movie has a good story, good acting and enough actions to keep things moving.  It has a couple of nice twists in it, especially if you watch the faces in the crowed at the end to see if you know anyone. . . . very well done.  I am kind of surprised it got made since it was a very Libertarian leaning film against government control.  We need more of these please. . . .

If you haven't seen it then go get a copy or rent it.  Well worth the time!

EFAD - free Kindal Book project

Folks this is a link to a free book that we all should read.  I got my copy, did you get yours?

It is all about government conspericy, and it is fiction although after all the news on Gun Running by the government in the Fast and Fureious program it may not be far off. . .

GO, read then get the book on Amazon!

HERE IS A LINK TO IT ON AMAZON

TSA Failure

HERE is a great post by an experienced FBI agent that takes apart the TSA and shows us many reasons it needs to be eliminated.  The TSA does nothing to help us but employ a bunch of under trained screeners.  There has been no gain in safety compared to before 9/11.

Thanks to Say Uncle for the link!

Go and Read

Operation Enemies Foreign And Domestic

Folks this could be very interesting. . .

Go here and read about a free book for Kindle that will start tomorrow

School Shootings

Well now that a few days have passed and some info is getting out I think I am ready to comment on this.

First this is a tragedy.  My thoughts and prayers go out to all involved in this, victim and their family's along with the family of the shooter.  I am sure they are all asking what could have been done different at this point and that had got to add to the burden they already carry over the losses.

Once again we have been shown that gun free zones don't work, and may actually be bad for you and your loved ones health.

Facts -
Kid pick a group to shoot, he seemed to have targets, this was not a random act
Kid had some friends but was also called a loner by some
Kid seems to have used a .22 target type pistol that most gun owners probably own, nothing fancy.
Kid may or may not have been bullied
Once again it was over before the Police could respond.  These things go down FAST
Kid ran when confronted by teacher who had guts to chase him - That teacher is a hero.

Now what do the following tell us about the anti-gun folks -
They are all over it
They don't mention the gun is not high capacity
They don't mention that he is too young to legally carry the gun
They don't mention that it is illegal to have the gun in school
They don't mention it is already illegal to shoot or kill people
They don't mention it was over before help got there - the teachers and kids were on their own

The one up side I have seen is in the reaction of folks I work with here in Mass of all places.  I don't hear cries for gun control.

What I do hear is that the gun free zone does not work.
What I do hear is that the gun is not the issue, it is the kid
What I do hear is how did "we" fail to see this coming with this kid?
What I do hear is what can we do to help the next kid before he/she gets to this point.

In short what I am hearing is folks asking the right questions and not going for the quick sound bite new law will fix it all now BS from the Anti Rights folks.  People are waking up and actually asking what is wrong that causes a kid to do this and how do we get them the help they need first.

If we can figure that out we may actually stop the next one before anyone is hurt, and that should be all our goal.

The Country is all Fixed, moving on. . . .

I mean it has to be all right now right?  How else can you explain this?

Or the fact that if they are not arguing about paying for or banning vasectomies then they are arguing about the pill or abortion then they spin off to gay marriage . . . .

Meanwhile they ignore Iran, the Middle East, Greece, Gun running to Mexico by the Fed (look up Fast and Furious) not to mention American Jobs, economy, housing issues, prices going up up up . . .

Nope it is all better folks.  Take note. . .

If this is what the pols have in mind we are done here.  Obama will get another 4 years to do nothing, and our government will blindly go on ignoring the real issues . . . . .  This is what you get with an uneducated voter population.  The liberal have taught the voters to sit down and shut up. . . we have to fix that. . .

Please think before you vote in November folks.  We need new folks at all levels of Government that actually are tied in to what is going on. . . not just looking for a good sound bite for the entertainment news media.

We are so screwed. . . . .

Qualification to be POTUS

Can someone tell me what the hell is going on?

As I went through the caf at work the TV was going off (CNN) on religion and Romney or Santorum or such and their qualification to be President. . . .

Folks this is easy.  The candidates religion has nothing to do with being POTUS or getting elected.  Our founders were nice enough to spell out in the Constitution what the rules are if you want to run for POTUS.  Religion is not listed. . . .being a natural born citizen is. . . . See the difference here?

Now that being said I wish folks would shut up about Obama's citizenship.  Unless you can show me he or his parents filled out papers for another countries citizenship for him then he is ours.  His mom was a citizen so he is.  I don't care about his dad unless you can show the previously mentioned papers.

Now can we get this damn race to elect our next overlord back on track and focused on the real problems we are facing - war, gas price, Iran, Europe and it's impending crash, jobs, illegal immigration. . .  . When all that is fixed then we can deal with the BS crap.

OK?  Thanks!

Whitney

Folks, I am so sick of watching the news on Whitney Houston.  My sympathy to her family for their loss.  Anyone who looses a family member feels it.

But this is not news, she does not deserve to have flags flying at half staff or anything else folks.  She was a troubled woman with a drug problem that could sing.  She is not a national hero, she does not deserve this kind of news time.

Folks, get over it.  She is gone.

And all the coverage is the way the news avoids covering the real news.  There is a ton of things going on.  Between Europe, the fed running guns to Mexico, gas going up, the Fed devaluing the dollar. . . . But no, they avoid making Obama look bad by talking about Whitney. . .
