Insomiac Observations of the Stoopids

Can't sleep. It's 3:10am. So my mind fills with to dos and oh my god, did I forget that, too?? thoughts.
It came to me tonight that Google Chrome is a lot  like a parking lot full of pigeons-if you are around them, no matter what you do they won't go away. In fact, if one or two discover you a whole flock will settle around your body just waiting for the next crumb.
Once Google Chrome is on, try and close it. You think its closed. It isn't Try using CC Cleaner and you'll discover Google Chrome stays open -against your wishes. CC Cleaner will ask you if you want to force it to close so you can clear your browser.
Just like pigeons I  expect to open my front door one day and there it is -all my private information, just out of arms reach..pigeons -they survive no matter the conditions. Google is doing a great job with that..

A man eating another man's face. Did they have to put it on the frickin news? Has reality TV distorted our senses so we constantly need an upgrade of horror? Isn't bad enough we have spent that last two years listening to republican nominees (puleese) stump the country with their birther rhetoric?

Someone tell me how the rich have managed to convince an entire nation that taking everyone else's money is a good thing? Could someone explain how our national parties became the Hatfield and McCoys? Willing to let our young hunger, our new graduates struggle to find gainful (and I mean gainful) employment, and tell those millions of unemployed who are now working two and three part time jobs without insurance or other benefits they are lazy and that three hundred dollars a week unemployment makes them less willing to find work?

And what is with this austerity budget? The corporations and banks are back to making big bucks yet many of our country's "ahem" well informed citizens are buying the cuts, the sacrifice rhetoric while they bank away laughing to the Cayman Islands.

Fox News has done its job well. We are a nation of stoopids (yes, different than stupid) Stupid you feel sorry for, stoopid you feel disgusted by..

National polls show Fox News viewers are the most ignorant in the nation. Of course they don't believe that. They don't believe anything except what Fox news tells them to believe. Fox News is Stoopid. The viewers are stoopid, too. Only because they believe stoopid fox news. Well, it isn't really a "news" station, it's more like a reality show with a couple of guys who sell the old National Enquirer format to viewers.
The National Enquirer is longer a sensationalized rag-have you noticed?
The National Enquirer broke the John Edwards affair. It actually does some investigative reporting.
Real investigative reporting, with picture proof and all. Wow
Back  to the face eating guy. My daughter is having nightmares. I try to avoid the story but man, the "news" stations love this one. They aren't letting it go. I guess I'll have to quit reading the news. It's too X rated for me. lol
When does our race to the bottom of the crud pile end? Reality executions? Videoed public floggings? We already have enough jail and prison TV to fill an evening. Porn? Who needs a website for porn. Go to Huffington Post or the NY Post.
We want educated sons and daughters, we rail against the schools and we have a world of shit daily in our "news", media, videos and cable TV.
Stoopid. Just stoopid

Politics: When a Shoe is Not Just a Shoe

Nikita Khrushchev allegedly pounded his shoe on the podium at the UN General Assembly meeting October 12, 1950 in protest. His outrage at the Phillipine's President's accusation that the Soviet Union was trying to dominate  Eastern European Countries prompted Khrushchev to push aside a speaker, pound his fists and allegedly pound his shoe.
What is with the shoes? In the middle east, throwing shoes is an ultimate insult. The Arabs hated George Bush. Posters of Bush with shoes was the ultimate insult. When they couldn't stand his rhetoric any longer a protester took off his shoe and threw it at him.
This morning I read of another shoe throwing protest and thought I would make my own list of protests in which I would like to throw a shoe-feel free to add your own!
1. Big Banks and Wall Street .Here's a big, heavy clog for your greedy self indulgent ways. Throw it into the Bull Ring! We bailed you out and this is what we get? Slippery policies, high fees, and discriminant rule over those who feed you. Eat your young, why don't you!

2. Education-Here's a dump truck full of Air Jordan's for screwing up our education so badly all kids from age 5 up do is test their little hearts out. What a joke. Accountability is one thing. Cheating children out of educational time in order to make pie charts is a joke. Get back to the basics.

3. Politicians-Let's all throw our shoes at the system that no longer works. Don't make it your best shoes -with the polarization of our country;s banana republic congressmen, we got nothing-baby. Nothin-except a group of rich old white men on the take.

4. Here's a shoe for the grocery industry with their game of jacking up prices until no one can afford a product and then dropping them drastically. What a waste of meat and produce. I'd really like to know how much the grocery stores throw out at the end of the day to keep prices up.

5. Oil Companies-How long do we subsidize them? What a joke!! Here's a thousand steel toed work boots for your greed. Can't wait till you run out of product.

6. Throw a shoe in Las Vegas for the new level of carny game come ons used to lure people to gambling machines with little or no payouts.

7. My own personal 10 inch pointy toed high heels with dagger like spikes gleefully thrown at Mitt Romney for his headline making news that bullies, too, can run for President.

8. Here's some payless shoes to a society which promotes sex, lust and greed over caring, honor and love.

9.
