FUNNY HAHA FRIDAY

Boo. (Getting the punchline of the joke.)




During a recent password audit, it was found that a
blonde was using the following password:



"MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento"



When asked why she had such a long password, she said
she was told that it had to be at least 8 characters
long and include at least one capital.



Have a safe and happy weekend,

Twitter Friends, Friends With Blogs, and High School Wrestling

I have a "twitter friend". Which means in plain english a friend I have made online using the social message network, Twitter. On Twitter you might know her as @RoraBorieAlice. (Twitter names ALL have the "@" sign before them.) I enjoy several Online Social Networks.

Club Insomnia
Cartoon Me making friends in the Social Network site Smallworlds.

Now, I met her while watching one of my T.V. shows and twittering about it. I cannot remember which show it was. I've met so many fine people online.

I'm lonely, OK!?

I like to watch television shows, and while doing this visit with others who are watching the same show. We find each other by using hashtags such as #GH This one is used for people watching General Hospital.

For me this is a great way to yell at the screen while watching the show.And I am one who does! As you have been fore warned, I am opinionated.

My friend, Aurora has a blog, and on her blog she is having a contest. Part of the contest is to place a button, or link to her blog on your blog. (This would be my blog, as I like contests.)



I'm not sure how this is done, and I may have just have. If you see a link above, visit her blog, k??

On her blog she will tell you a bout her mother's artwork, and, you guessed it, her mother's artwork website. I went over to take a look. If you are a follower of mine, you know that I am a curious woman, OK., nosey.

Watermellon

The picture above is not from her site, it's one of my photos. However, if you like watermelons, she has some wonderful Watermelon dishes and such. Handmade by herself. Her stuff isn't bad. Take a look:
I tried to add a link, and it didn't show up.

The artwork is at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtGypsies
*How about you open another window or tab, do the old copy and paste and visit her site for me? THANKS!

I asked her for photos of the sites for your enjoyment. As of this posting I don't have any to share.

I know, you REALLY enjoy the photos I post here, so as I go, I will leave you one more.

Stereotypical Political Racism, and Emotional Arm Twisting (part 1)

I'm just going to let rip.

I've typed a few opening statements, I really want to capture your attention. I know that I only have a fraction of a paragraph to do so. (I've also deleted many opening statements.) So here goes!

Please Listen To Me! I Need To Be Heard!
Ever Feel Like You re Cracking Up

I AM SO TIRED OF THIS BULLSH*T!


What is it that has my set my blood to boil, and my voice to crack? Stereotypical Political Racism, or S.P.R.

Now what is S.P.R.? Since this is my blog, and the intent of this blog is to voice my opinion I will tell you what I think it is. It is an EVIL TOOL being employed by the Liberal Left in Washington D.C.

And here is the deal. Too many people will believe whatever they are told, and if it is written in a newspaper, why shucky darn it becomes fact. I had a friend. My friend was not too bright. He would be with me when I was visiting and talking current events, and as most people are inclined to, he did not wish to feel left out, so as best as he could, he shared what he has read, and his comment will stay with me to my last day. So will the faces of my friends when they heard what he said. What did he say?

He told us of how they had recently found several missing aircraft on the moon! He believed it to be fact,he was dead serious:IT WAS IN A NEWSPAPER! Oh how the Mainstream Media is shaping opinion, molding minds, being used as a tool
of theLiberal Leftist in Washington D.C.

And Sir, if you do not agree, You Are A Racist!
CATching Up On The News
Now this is a newspaper SO you know it is true, right?

Now, S.P.R., (orStereotypical Political Racism), I believe is a term that I just coined What else do you call it? They have catchy new terms for everything these days, and Emotional Arm Twisting is probably already taken by some Liberal Leftist out there. I say this, because this is certainly what they are doing, (and should list in their list of accomplishments).

Traditional New Years Cat Wrestling.
(No Kitties Were Harmed Emotionally or Physically in the Taking of this Picture.)

Let me expound:

If I disagree with the current Presidential administration, I am labeled a racist, if I am a Black person who disagrees with the President, I am guilty of hating my race.

We are hearing now, from peoples who now, openly admit that they felt Emotionally Arm Twisted into voting for Barak H. Obama. They were told that it was their DUTY as African-Americans to vote for Obama. Non African-Americans if they did not vote for Barak Obama, they were racist.

How was this fair? Is not each and every American Voter entitled to vote their conscience?

What happened to the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.?

MLK for Nov 15 Blog

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.


A transcript and VIDEO of the Entire Speech can be found here: http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkihaveadream.htm

In August 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. told the nation, (and the world) of his dream for racial harmony. How his dream was that color would no longer be an issue, that mankind would become color blind.

It took time, but things changed. Until now.

blogHolder

In February, 2009, the first African-American U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, in his speech at the Department of Justice told us:

Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards.


A transcript of his February 18th speech can be found here: http://www.justice.gov/ag/speeches/2009/ag-speech-090218.html

More and more we are being Emotionally Arm Twisted by Stereotypical Political Racism into fearfully going along with the pack. Afraid of repercussions, afraid of having the scarlet letter R emblazoned on our chests.

Emotionally Arm Twisted by Stereotypical Political Racism into remaining silent.

blogNidalHasan

What do you think it was that stopped those in charge from officially noticing or reporting that Major Nidal Hasan, U.S. Army Psychiatrist was acting hinky that he was emailing a known terrorist.

They might be called racist. It may have impacted their military records if they were labeled So, to be Politically Correct those that noticed, that may have been able to do something turned a blind eye,Emotionally Arm Twisted into silence by Stereotypical Political Racism

The TSA screeners at the airports frisk Little Old Ladies while pretending not to notice reasonable suspects.

Are we not on the lookout for mostly Arab males who follow radical teachings of Islam? I AM NOT saying that all Arab males are terrorists, but that most terrorists are Arab males. That possibly NONE are 71 year old women.

blogArabMales
Why Are We Frisking Granny?

We have gone so crazy with the fear of being called a racist, of being Politically Incorrect that we have, IMHO been Emotionally Arm Twisted to the point of being at further risk!

As Susan Powder was fond of saying. "Stop The Insanity!"

I plan on expanding on this point later on this week. This is a topic, I fully Believe needs to be addressed in this country, if we have the courage [balls] to address it.

Help! I'm In Twitmo, or Adventures of a Twitter User

Twitter. If you do not know by now what twitter is, I will tell you. Twitter is a message program online. Each message is limited to 140 characters. Twitter is a tool that enables people globally to reach out with their opinions and or personal message.

Twitter is widely used, and at times gets over loaded.

Twitter  Over capacity - Google Chrome 1062009 41913 PM.bmp

The icon for Twitter is a cute little blue bird. A message is called, a tweet. It is an easy to use program and you can follow others that share the same values and idesa that you do.

Friends, (or Twends) that you ADD onto your Twitter account is called FOLLOWING People befriending you are called FOLLOWERS

In Twitter, people add the prefix TW to everyday words to Twitterize them. In a nutshell, this is Twitter.

During the recent protests in Iran, when the government tried to close the lines of communication, protesters used Twitter to spread messages and get information out of Iran. The U.S. government even implored Twitter to not go offline for routine maintenance as not to close the Irain Protesters lines of communication.

00zhupix4blog

Twits, (Twitterers, Twitter users) some changed their listed location as Iran during this time to hamper Iranians shut down efforts. Others changed their profile photos to green in a visual show of sollidarity with the Iranain protesers.

Support Iran Protests! #Iranelection on Flickr - Photo Sharing! - Google Chrome 1162009 82609 AM

Today, if you watch television, you will find newscasters and TV shows giving out their Twitter ID so that you can follow them. My twitter ID is:
www.twitter.com/Trpster

Twitter  Home - Google Chrome 1162009 75135 AM


I think I have explained twitter for those who have not used it or heard of it. It is VERY easy to use.

Now that I have explained the use of Twitter. It is another way of communicating. People today are able to access and post on Twitter not only from their computers, but also from their cellphones, and at least one online game community that I am aware of.

SmallWorlds Trpster's 2nd Floor - Google Chrome 1162009 84731 AM.bmp

People even use Twitter to post photos for their Tweeps to see. Twitter is used so much that each day we are finding more applications written for the use of twitter users. People can access twitter not only from their home computer, but also from their cellphones using apps designed for this purpose.

The Iranian Protesters not only used www.flickr.com to upload and post photos of the event, they also posted them via twitter for the world to see.

I just love this pic!! Made me smile! #tcot on Twitpic - Google Chrome 1162009 103059 AM

People twitter for fun, for business, and TO PROTEST This is why I first experienced a phenomenon Twits are calling TWITMO, or Being in TWITMO.

Twitter IS screening and or censoring Twitter accounts by limiting them by "placing them in time-out"

While in "time-out" you lose your voice. You are unable to send out tweets. They are unclear as to how long your account has been silenced for, only saying that you have exceeded your "update limit" and to wait a few hours.

NOTE People twitter back and forth all day, holding conversations, posting opinions and such. Until this week I have never had this happen to me. It also happened to many of my friends and fellow protesters.

What is it that we are protesting you ask? HEALTH CARE REFORM HR3962

HCRProtest2

Many of us do not like it, do not want it, and WANT TO BE HEARD

How are we trying to get our voices heard? By calling our Senators and Congress, open protests in Washington DC, Tea Parties and by contacting our Senators and Congress via twitter. Along with the Tweets to Congress To coordinate our effort we added the hashtag #tweetcongress

(2) Twitter  Search - #tweetcongress - Google Chrome 1162009 91939 AM

(Hashtags are identifiers that enable a twitter user to locate twitter messages that contain a topic they may want to search.)

I was contacted (tweeted) by a friend,(follower) who told me that www.twitter.com was screening accounts and told how to check and see if my tweets were being screened, in essence, being blocked from the view of all save those following me.

I was told to send one out to @NancyPelosi. (Tweets are addressed in this fashion, the "at sign" and twitter account name. It's like sending a 140 character email really, except everyone can read it unless it is a Direst Message.)

So, I did this, I tweeted:

"Just Say NO to HR3962 Taxes on My Health Insurance http://bit.ly/2aE3lq
@NancyPelosi @boblatta @marybonomack #tweetcongress
"

And then I searched the #hashtag. GUESS WHAT! I had been silenced The Powers That Be at www.twitter.com decided that I am not to be allowed the right of contacting my congressmen. I am unable to contact my Senator. (Unless, of course, they are following me. Like that is going to happen!)

Silence Is Gold on Flickr - Photo Sharing! - Google Chrome 1162009 93915 AM

I have been placed in TWITMO. Silenced for voicing my opinion. Unable to be heard via Twitter by none but my friend, those who choose to follow me, and unable to post an update on twitter for a cumulative time of over 7 hours.

HCRProtest

In a world where OUR government, the U.S. Government, asked Twitter to fore go scheduled down time to enable the protesters in Iran the free use of twitter to
voice their opposition to their government, I, a natural born U.S. Citizen am being
disallowed this same basic freedom.

How am I feeling? #pissedoffatbeingcensored!

F.D.R., Obama, and the War of the Worlds.

On October 30, 1938 the Mercury Theatre on the Air performed a radio play called,
'War of the Worlds'. It aired over the C.B.S., (Columbia Broadcasting System) as a Halloween Episode. The radio play was directed and narrated by Orson Welles. It was an adaptation of H. G. Wells' novel, 'The War of the Worlds'.

(I always get H.G. Wells and Orson Welles mixed up. Silly huh?)

My creation

Anyway...........it was presented as a series of simulated news bulletins, which suggested to many listeners that an ACTUAL Martian invasion was in progress.

The story took place in the Garden State, at a place called Grover's Mill, New Jersey. The show was without commercial interruption and so the line between fact and fiction were blurred. Without the reminder of a commercial interruption, the listeners of the program began to believe that the events were real. Martians WERE attacking New Jersey! And so, the United States experienced mass hysteria, it was mostly seen on the east coast, in New York and in New Jersey.

war of the worlds

The 1938 mindset.

In 1938 Europe was in turmoil. The U.S. was just beginning to poke it's head out of an economic depression. F.D.R. was President and the country was hurting. Not only were people looking for a hand up and/or a hand out, they became to rely on the calming tones of their radios, and the dole of the U.S. Government.

The Fireside Chats by President Roosevelt. The music and the news broadcasts, all diversions of a brand new media, radio. Motion Pictures and the radio provided a respite from the realities of 1938.

Not only was the adage, "If you see it written in the [insert favorite newspaper here] it must be true" a believed truth, so also was that if you heard it on the radio from a newscaster, this must also be the truth. They would not lie, would they?

Today this event is still studied for the mass hysteria it created. Some people to this day still believe that the events WERE indeed real, and the broadcast a mere cover-up. (See the website http://www.war-of-the-worlds.org )Interesting!

Why do I bring this up? Well, it was 71 years ago this week that the broadcast took place. Many radio stations over the U.S. will be replaying a recording of the original event as it happened. Others may do re-creations.

This made me think.

People will believe anything! I do not suppose that many of the hysterical people fearing for their lives from the Martians took the time to go outside and check the skies for spacecraft, for if they had, they would have found skies clear of spacecraft. Unfortunately, instead of thinking for themselves, they took the word of a talking head on the radio. They lived in fear for the duration of the 60 minute broadcast.

People are still doing this today. They are listening to the talking heads and lapping up their words like mother's milk. They are not going to the window and looking up to find the truth. Instead they are willing to allow the government to tell them what the truth is, and make all of their decisions for them. They falsely believe that the government knows better than they what they need.

FDR*

Remember what happened to the world in 1938?!? Think back.

Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it!

Obama Halo

People in 2009 America are hurting once again, they are leaning in with baited breath. As those in 1938 sat to the side of their radios waiting for the voice of their beloved leader F.D.R., to hear the words of hope and change in his Fireside Chats. They are mistakenly waiting for Obama, Pelosi and Reid to tell them what they need and what they will do to fix it.

Reid Obama Pelosi

Scary stuff.

Happy Halloween!

I Am BEGGING People To Read My Blog

I enjoy twitter.

The conversations and the referrals to blogs and online articles. I didn't join to 'sell' my blog. Today that seems to be what I am doing on there however.

It has been six (6) months since my last post to IMHO. Not because I have had no opinion, but for the sheer fact that to the best of my knowing, not one person is reading my blog.

It makes me sad, how can I share on opinion to an empty room? It is a bit like, pardon the crudeness here, playing with myself. The joy of sex without the pillow talk afterward.

blogpost

So, I am twittering requests to read my blog. I need to know if I should continue the effort. I can just as easily think these thoughts all in my head. It would be less work.

All I am asking is that if you read my blog, please let me know. You do not have to agree with my opinions. It is good to read a dissenting viewpoint.

Just let me know that you read it, if in your opinion I should continue this blog, or simply let it float off into the nothingness of cyberspace.

That is all that I ask.

Obama's Impression of Charles Durning (in the movie, 'Best Little Whore House in Texas.')


I really hadn't expected to tackle the topic of Obama again.

He seems to be the gift that keeps on giving, unfortunately this gift is nonreturnable.


Today's Obama speech in Strasburg reminded me of this little ditty.

Charles Durning, playing the Governor of Texas in the Hit Musical, 'Best Little Whore House In Texas':



Obama, Apologizing to Europe!
Crying, "Mia Culpa!" How dare he!!

I'm sorry President Obama, You Do Not Speak For Me!! What's to be next, are we going to pay reparations to the EU for our alleged complicity in the collapse of GLOBAL economy?

Oh wait, we are, (sorta) Mr. Obama has pledged ONE TRILLION DOLLARS. One TRILLION dollars to Europe to aid in their recovery!

YOO HOO, Mr. OBAMA.....News Flash.....AMERICA CANNOT AFFORD IT!

President Obama, our government is BROKE. We are borrowing money from China to cover our bills.

Is Red China government "Check For A Check"?

After interest, can anybody tell me just how much this Trillion dollar gift to Europe will cost in the end??

When will the talking heads and the alternate powers that be stand up to this man? When will they halt his madcap mission?

Our country, nay, our very lives depend on it. I.M.H.O.

Prince puts foot in it, Michelle O puts arm around Queen

OBAMA ROYAL VISIT UPDATE: WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE??


In an Intense Breech of Protocol: First Lady, Michelle Obama Puts Her Arm Around The Queen.

If I thought President Obama's use of two hands in his handshake with Her Majesty was a big "No, No the First Lady put her arm around the Queen!

Can I say it again, LOOK AT THE PHOTO She has her freaking arm around Elizabeth!!

You don't do this. You just don't touch the Queen!

It's another faux pas committed by the Obamas. It's all over the net:



LiveNews | Richard Maxton




America's First Lady will be kicking herself after cosying up to the Queen during a visit to Buckingham Palace.

Michelle Obama put her arm around the Queen's shoulder, an embarrassing breach of royal protocol almost identical to former Prime Minister Paul Keating's own 1992 slip-up, which saw him branded the "Lizard of Oz".

In 2007 former Prime Minister John Howard was heavily criticised for apparently putting his arm around the Queen as he lead her though a crowd. He denied he actually touched her but photographs suggest he came quite close.




Now, I understand both she and the President not curtseying. We are not subjects of H.R.H. The same reason We, The United States do not dip our flag.

BUT YOU DO NOT TOUCH THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND!!

Even the 'Little Dog who frightened the mouse under her chair' wasn't allowed to touch Her Royal Highness.

Oh my, what news awaits us tomorrow!
