in Is McCain on Flimsy Footing in Farm Country? on The Iowa Independent
Wherever Obama goes he promises his audience the moon and does it with a smile. He goes to Ohio and says how much NAFTA is horrible because people in Ohio don't know that 4 out 10 jobs there are export jobs. So he preys on their ignorance of their dependence on free trade. Then a day later he goes to Texas and says how wonderful NAFTA is because Texas is the fastest growing state economically because of their embrace of free trade and commerce. One man two views in less than 24 hours. Do Iowans really want to trust a guy who changes his opinion on major issues faster than he changes underwear. He doesn't even wait weeks, he can tell you he believes something today and tomorrow tells you he believes in the opposite and does it without even missing a beat.
Corn base ethanol is not the way out of our energy crisis. It's inefficient, brings down gas mileage in cars and makes food prices higher. It is a scientific fact that ethanol from sugar cane is 3 times better than corn. So Obama wants to stop us from using sugar ethanol because he wants to win Iowa. Not because he knows he's right but because he wants votes. He will lie to each and every single voter in Iowa if he has to. He doesn't care.
McCain is against subsidies because he believes in the American farmers' ability to compete and compete fairly. Obama is trying to buy votes by supporting bills like the farm bill that does nothing for the majority of farmers in Iowa and nothing for America. Obama is counting on people in Iowa only caring about themselves and not the country.
Say what you may about McCain he has convictions. He knows that been against subsidies could lose him Iowa, but he does it anyway because that's what's right for America. He said he was for offshore drilling without knowing how the public would react and the public now agrees with him. He was for the surge when everybody including Obama said that it would not work. He asked that we had a little faith in our country and the soldiers and he was right. I can't help but love him for sticking to things he knows is right even when they are unpopular. Obama's would divorce his wife if the polls said that is what it will take to get him elected.

in Pawlenty: Obama is risky on The Iowa Independent
Capitol City Muser,
If you can think of a VP for McCain that has zero negative, please tell us all. I would love to be in on this amazing person.
My problem with Obama is not that he is risky. My problem with Obama is that he will say anything to get elected. He has no conviction. Obama went from bashing offshore drilling as a bad idea to liking it in less than 24 hours. Did he see the light. No. He saw the poll numbers. 72% of Americans want offshore drilling. If that doesn't get people pause I don't know what would.
If 72% of American felt that he should divorce his wife so they could elected him, I will bet that he would do it and not even blink an eye. In life you have to have something that you believe in. Obama believes in nothing other than saying what needs to be said to get the votes.

in 2008/04/30/igoogle-has-a-bunch-of-new-themes/ on Mashable - The Social Media Guide
'm a bit upset at this because it was my idea and I explicit
demand for Google using it and they stiffed me.
Here is my idea as I proposed it 6 months ago on the New York
Times Blog about google and yahoo social networking. It was the first
comment.
http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/11/13/inbox-...
"For your grand launch of the IGoogle social network have
Takashi Murakami design themes exclusively for IGoogle. He is
expensive but Google can afford him and trust me people will
sign up in drove just to have his themes as their background on
IGoogle. Of course there are many other famous underground
and main stream artists that would get a great response as well.
If Google decides to use my ideas, I want a tour of Googleplex
and I want to meet Sergey and give him a haircut. These are my
terms and I’m not budging.

I'm sure someone at Google got a bonus for proposing this idea
to their boss. I hope they choke on it.

in Is Facebook Facing A Future Lawsuit? on AllFacebook
No facebook is not facing any lawsuits.
I was the first commentor to point out that it was not illegal. Facebook' s term of use had some pretty good lawyers working on it. But my comment had a bad word in it, and the moderator took it down. It should be up again I was told, because I changed the word to something more suitable for the Times.
If anyone wants to see what wrote go here.

in Is Facebook Evil? on AllFacebook
They only way to opt-out is to pressure your friends not to opt-in. I say everyone that is concerned about this should send out a bulletin telling their friends that they would prefer not to get these feeds. If enough people show dislike friends or wannabe friends will not do it because of the fear that you may de-friend them.
The consumer always have the power. We just have to use it.
For the record I do support the idea of Facebook making money for proving their service but they don't have to force me into taking part into their experiment.
