So I’ve been watching NBC’s morning shows for the past few weeks and getting reacquainted with Matt, Merrideth, Al and Ann and when I’m home during my day offs maybe even a little Hoda and Kathy Lee. That’s right, I admitted it… now what? Well, what I’ve learned is nothing spectacular but some of what I’ve been told I’ve been consumed with leaving me a good mix of skeptical and disgusted. Pop culture changes for each generation but here are just two of the stats that have boggled my mind and some of which I can continue to hardly believe.
The worst example I heard was… 1 out of every 3 relationships can be labeled as abusive. The Today Show never clarified what constitutes abusive but never strayed from the implied physical but still… what the hell? 1 out of every 3? If that stat is even remotely accurate society needs a swift kick in the ass or to be locked up in cells with missing keys.
Another, much less important statistic was 70% of men think it’s sexy for a woman to pay their way or to pay entirely when dining out. Which ever man thinks that’s sexy is a serious tool. Obviously women are just as capable but what happened to being a gentleman? Sure it’s decedent to be treated once in a while but a habit of this is BS and simply an example of men just being cheap. This is an ongoing gripe on many levels so I wont exhaust myself with bitterness on the subject but 70%? Are we friggin kidding?

First Donation of the Year…
And the winner/recipient will be Sarah Palin. Though some of you may read this with complete distain for the woman that’s fine; but know that she is also a fellow American that extremist groups are taking advantage of financially and judicially tying up our courts and an acting governor.
Because people didn’t like her as a candidate she has a slew of lawsuits being thrown at her over the most erroneous of things and it’s despicable. There is a lawsuit seeking punitive damages for her not declaring a holiday quick enough to appease its supporters. Another seeks retribution for one of her aids using a state computer to reply on someone’s blog during the election season? How about a lawsuit alleging that she has pandered to a business for wearing her husband’s snow gear at a race he participates in because the sponsor “Arctic Cat” is visible?
Here is a woman that did nothing but to have an opinion and run for an office in government. Many have picked her to death and she’s gone back to Alaska keeping to her states needs and probably trying to forget the half of a welcoming she received when she was introduced to us.
With all of these frivolous lawsuits going thru the system and wasting tax payer’s money she’s left with a debt forecasted to be at least 600k dollars. That’s a lot of money for 6 cases already thrown out, 3 more pending and countless others just lining up. From all accounts I can’t see one instance where she’s asked for the State’s aid or dipped from any taxpayer pool of money to cover any of her legal defense fees.
There is talk that she’ll start up a fund to pay for this and I for one will be donating what I can. It doesn’t take her policies or whether I agree with them or not, it takes the fact that she’s obviously a good person just trying to live the dream like the rest of us. She endured an onslaught never seen before led by the Press and IMHO she’s taken enough for me to not even try to help.

Masters of Puppets
This is a quick entry I’m writing because for you to invest in the content of what is said you’ll need to dedicate the next two hours of your life to hear what some like myself have been trying to say.
If you’re into a good conspiracy theory, enjoy theatrically dooming narration and are like me with having almost no trust in the current machine we call our Government you should watch this. Through video and commentary they’ve stayed completely unbiased and this movie should be at least reviewed if you can find the time.
Speak of the New World Order over 10 years ago made me stop registering as a Democrat and then again 5 years ago with leaving the Republicans. Now as an Independent I still know it’s all a bunch of BS and movies like this are needed to remind us all what is right in front of us. Recently aligning myself with the RLC, a Republican based Libertarian sect I hope they are the most truthful in what they say but still you just never know when it comes to a politician.
Take the time to watch, even if you don’t believe it… it’s worth the listen.
