Really? You're still around?

America. Land of free speech. Land of instant celebrity. Guess who's been making these comments:

"I've had some friends that are actually homosexual. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn't have them anywhere near my children."

"You know, I'm not the most civilized person," "Those kind of people, I usually took behind the woodshed and just beat the livin' tar out of 'em."

"The Constitution is a living, breathing document that is black and white" he said. "It does not need to be changed if we get back to the basics (of it) "George Washington said we 'would fall from within,'" he said.

"Right now, current spending bankrupts Social Security by 2040 ... I believe in individual responsibility. I will save my money and take care of my family. As far as government-run Social Security I believe people should be given an option."

And the answer is:
Oh, sorry wrong "character." The resemblance is uncanny.


The first quote is from The Huffington Post.
The 2nd quote some from Alternet.
The 3rd is from The Colorado Independent , which is part of an interview with Christianity Today
The 4th quote is from fdlreporter.

According to WhoRunsGov.com on Greg Sargent's blog the Plum Line, Joe has been enlisted since March to speak against the Employee Free Choice Act. The article quotes Mary Ellen Burke who is some sort of spokesperson, possibly for Joe, but the article doesn't say.“The public loves Joe the Plumber,” the spokesperson, Mary Ellen Burke, claimed to me. “They see him as a role model.”

This is the 2nd most scariest quote I came across.

This IS the scarriest quote:

When asked in the Christianity Today interview, whether he would ever run for office, Joe said," Not right now. God hasn't said, 'Joe, I want you to run.'"

And if God does I pray I can run like Usain Bol,t far far away:

The Kindle

Recently Amazon has become a fireman. No not one that puts out fires, but one like the firefighters in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. Ironically the book is being sold by Amazon whose executives may want to give it a read through. The New York Times reported in mid-July that Amazon had remotely deleted 2 Orwell books from customers Kindle's. The Kindle is Amazon's electronic reader, which is used to view e-books and other media.

Amazon did refund the money to its customers and said that they would not do this again (Amazon said they deleted the books because of copyright issues). However, the big deal is that they have the power to delete the files. This is a scary thought. This article by Brad Stone of the New York Times is a good piece on the subject.

Unfortunately the world isn't this campy anymore:

Hmmmmm

Life has been pretty hectic and crazy lately. There are a lot of changes on the horizon and I have been contemplating beginning anew in the blogosphere. Perhaps something more personal and day to day. Maybe find a spark in what is considered day to day mundane. Time will tell.
