The Much Anticipated Inauguration
Whether or not you find yourself in complete agreement with President Obama's election to office, complete disagreement, or somewhere smack dab in the middle (like myself), you have to admit, that is a lot of people.
I'm looking forward to this presidency. You know there's this sort of all encompassing aura of implicit change among the masses, which isn't altogether a bad thing, that I think will be handily malnutritioned and regrettably short lived in the coming weeks and months of the new Oval Office.
While I think President Obama really does breathe change, he is facing an adversary that will cripple the only two good years he's going to have in his first term: The economy. The bottom line is that this recession is pretty bad, and it will probably take in between one and two years to overcome the challenges that face our incredibly diverse and complicated marketplace. Unfortunately for Obama, those are the only two years during his first term that he will have a democratic Congress to pass the liberal legislation that he won't have time to scribe. All of this political jargon that we all want to believe in could have been possible in this mixed up bipartisan Capitol Hill nonsense, were it not for the state of the economy.
In two years time however, the right will take back the houses, they will reclaim the process of drafting legislation, and from then on through Obama's first term, it will be nothing but a written law vs. veto battle between the legislative and executive branches, that will benefit no one, yet somehow further the notion of what this country has become.
You see, we no longer have checks and balances, we are checks and balances. There are nothing but checks and balances being strewn about in Washington which means that the only way the President, or Congress, can get anything done is illegally. Which is where the Supreme Court steps in to issue more checks and balances to the already checked and balanced.
You know what America? I think we have finally done it. We have finally become what we always wanted to be. We have finally become exactly what the Ancient Greeks knew to be ridiculous and idiotic. We have become exactly what our forefathers never wanted us to become.
We have become a Democracy.

Why Am I Here?
Now this can be viewed as a philosophically deep and meaningful question, or it can be interpreted as I mean it; particularly as why does this blog exist?
For the most part I am only trying to bring you the current events with as little personal commentary as possible (which involves some personal input, otherwise why am I doing it at all, right?)
But occasionally, after long bouts of silence, I get back on to inform you of some personal debacle currently unfolding in my life, of which I am sure no one cares about even a little, only to finish out the week by posting more than usual on the issues.
I am trying to make changes in my life. I am attempting to not do the same old things that I have always done in the same old way I have always done them, and it is proving quite difficult.
Still, one of those changes, I feel, must come here. From here on I will give you personal anecdotes and diatribes concerning my personal life, with bits and pieces of current events thrown in for education, and hopefully, perspective and clarification.
Let's see how this pans out shall we?

Socialist Cuba... Unite?
Raul is proving himself to be quite the uncharismatic leader, at least when compared to his brother.
What this means for the fate of Cuba will be told by time.

On To Politics
John F. Harris and Jim Vandehei have written a couple of pretty good pieces describing the current situation between our two loving democratic presidential candidates that I came across earlier while reading Politico.
You can read them here and here.
We got on the topic of the presidential election in my Business Ethics class the other day and my professor said something kind of interesting. He said that despite all of the hoopla over the apparent diversity in American nationalism these days, that this progressively never ending strife between these two deliciously immature candidates will actually cause the gung-ho, get-out-the-vote enthusiasts to remain on their couches and simply refuse to vote come election day.
At the time I disagreed with him, but the more I read the more I am saturated with the parties malcontent. Maybe he's right. Maybe this election belongs to John McCain because the Clintons and the Obamas can't seem to get along with each other, or anyone else they know for that matter.

Duke Lacrosse Shenanigans Revisited
All apologies for the untimely delay in relaying this now long forgotten and what I fear has become old news update to you.
Please forgive the infraction and accept this final update as a token of my sorrow for dropping off the face of the planet for a while. I will try my hardest to not let it happen again.
There are really two posts that should have followed my last one on this issue. The first one is here, and the basic gist is that the DNA that was taken from the semen left behind on the 'alleged victim' did not match the DNA of any one of the Duke Lacrosse players.
The second post would have been here, and it would have been the finale because as you will see, the case was closed. Yes the legal proceedings were long and drawn out as they usually are in this wonderful legal system that we employ in this country, but in the end justice prevailed and the Duke Lacrosse team ultimately only suffered a little sullying of the reputation.
They are up and running now and all is well.

What Happens When Patriots Doctor Historical Photos?
They produce this, apparently.
Which is fine. It's a good article. Whether or not you agree or disagree with the actual threat level of global warming, you can still get something out of this well articulated sanctioned piece of subjectivity.
But not everyone it seems is fond of Time's interpretation of the second flag raising to convey just how significant they think the threat of global warming is.
As I listened to this story earlier on Talk of the Nation, three of the four callers were rational and relatively well spoken individuals who had an interesting opinion to convey. The other one, however, sounded like Forrest Gump high. And his sad diatribe about a personal offense that he himself could not understand, was embarrassing and shallow.
It gave me a little start as I listened, and for a moment I felt sorry for the human race. Sometimes I feel that way when I hear certain people speak.

They Can't Be Serious
Look here and here if you wish to be pleasantly appalled.

The Passing of Loved Ones
Once in a great while apparently, I enjoy getting back on this hog to fill my millions of readers in on what can only be described as a "007" life. And I know that each and every time I do, my listeners are so eager that they have moved on to biting their toenails due to an imminent lack of felanges.
So listen, I had a grandfather as of last week, and that is no longer the case. If you are, don't be sorry; I'm not. In my opinion, death is not some foreboding and relentless massacre of depressing feelings because you can't understand what happened. It is simply a sackful of memories and experiences that have been lost to the generations that followed, collected in what one hopes is a hospital bed, or home bed, or any bed really; which in turn will be deposited into the ground in either ash or flesh to rot with the rest of the earth. Nothing more.
And why does there need to be? Why do I have to know that my grandfather is now in a better place? Why should I believe that he had to give his entire life making the best of it that he could, only to reach this imaginary better place that no one knows exists? It pains me to think that there is a possibility that we aren't living to our full potential here because we are saving up for heaven. Like pathetic pre-pubescent boys from a small village in Honduras, who forfeit immediate pleasures of the flesh in order to afford a trip to Disneyland that they will never in their lifetimes make.
I'm just tired. So tired. Tired of everyone searching for reason in the afterlife, when they are so slow to apply that reason among the living. So slow to devote that same kind of energy to showing some respect to those around them. Don't misunderstand, I am no liberal searching for myself via Google on the internet. I would just love to get in my car, drive down the street and see one other person observing the logic of the traffic system that was supposed to be so wonderful. I want to go to work and have one person come in who isn't so completely oblivious to the fact that there are other human beings present, that they can't smell the festering bitterness growing on their own noses.
In short, I would love to live in a world where each person could even just realize that there is no cause, without effect. There is no such thing as a meaningless word. That there is room for civility and unity. And most of all, that projecting your personal idea of a guiding and all powerful deity onto the rest of us is clearly not the way to do it.
Keep your religion, your beliefs and your personal faith to yourself. For if you truly believed in all of the things you expound upon us, you would feel no need to say them out loud. You would be content in the knowledge of your own freedom. You would feel no need to try and convince me that I am wrong. You would live the life of comfort and bask in your own triumph over what you view as such a short existence, and never give a second thought as to whether I am worried about what happens to me when I die. Let me be. Only then may you begin to understand what it means to treat me like a human being.

Payola Scandals To Come To A Real Halt?
This is good news for those of us (which is most of us) who can't quite stomach listening to a popular radio station for an hour or so and hearing the same crappy song twice.
Payola, or disc jockeys and radio stations taking money or favors for airplay for certain songs, was technically banned in 1950, but has been around quite prominently in one form or another ever since.
Fun Tidbit One: The first major instance of payola occurred when a man named Alan Freed, who in the mid 1950's was the most prominent DJ in the country, accepted money from the Chess brothers in return for vastly over-playing the tune "Maybellene," which became wildly popular and ultimately lead to the demise of Muddy Waters' position as the top gun for Chess Records, being replaced by Berry, who held the reigns for longer than Waters could ever have imagined.
Fun Tidbit Two: Alan Freed is the man who named the up and coming style that Chuck Berry was pioneering "Rock and Roll."
I know, I have gotten a little off subect; sorry. But I should also point out here that I do not think that the reason Chuck Berry went on to be the sensation that he was, and still is, was because of the immoral contributions that Freed made to Berry's career and to the revenue of the Chess record company. If you listen to the song, you will quickly realize that it has enough merit on its own to be one of the most popular songs of its time. And as Berry has irrevocably proven, he meant business and was no slouch. I simply think that Freed sped up the process a little; either to the detriment of good old fashioned Delta Blues, or to the progress of a musical revolution that would soon be defined by bands like Zeppelin and The Who, depending upon how much of a purist you are.
Anyhow, this new legislation which promises to even further restrict the practice of payola, will prove to be extraordinarily beneficial to those lovers of music who (if they haven't completely written off radio altogether) have almost reached the point of looking forward to "Love Line," because they can't possibly listen to that depressing "Thirty Seconds To Mars" song one more time without toasting a double shot of cyanide on the rocks.

To Bind, Or... Well You Know The Rest
Well, after weeks of reports by countless sources on what this non-binding solution may or may not achieve, the actual has occurred.
The House passed the resolution with more than enough support, which is really not surprising at all. Nor is the rebuke that quickly issued from the White House.
What I do find interesting to ponder though is the fact that very soon, the House will be faced with the issue of whether or not to approve the additional funding that the President will ask for, in order to sustain the troops already over there.
This issue will in no way have anything to do with something that calls itself non-binding. This is a very serious issue and I imagine that there is no way the house won't approve the funding necessary to ensure our troops aren't dying when they very well shouldn't be. However, I do wonder how this will make the majority party's fashionistas look, considering this debacle we've just undergone.
Will America tolerate a House that says first that they support our troops in what they must do? Then say that they do not support helping them with anything further than what they already have? Then say that even though we don't support any further help for you, we will go ahead and spend all the money necessary to help you, in the precise way that we don't want to help you?
I honestly don't think that anyone in the House of Representatives means our troops any harm. I honestly think that if given the opportunity they would all do exactly what is best for everyone. However, the fact of the matter is they are facing an America that is sick and tired of ambiguity. Whether we should be there or not, just decide. No one seems completely able to do this, but it is to the detriment of the Democrats to cause this same strife, that everyone is so tired of, within their own party.
Oppose Bush or don't oppose him. Just decide already.
And for the love of all things holy, have the marbles to make a mistake.
It's because we don't have those marbles that we are still in this war.
Update: Representative Patrick Murphy has a few strong words on why he, as a veteran, disapproves of the President's troop increase.

Everything Can Be Reduced To Semantics
Michael Barone at RealClearPolitics gives his two cents, not on why the recent troop surge that will soon deploy to Iraq and the Anbar Province will succeed, but instead on why he thinks that arguments against the surge are both ill-conceived and asinine.

This Is The Article
Earlier this evening I said to a fellow political compatriot that the thing that was going to propel the Democrats into office in 08 wasn't any cohesive effort in unified strategy, but sheer confusing, unorganized policy making attempts (just what the Democrats have proven best at).
I have said since November that all the Democrats have to do is try and force bill after bill through congress. They will likely fail in most of their attempts, but that is not the point. The point is that if they try and make changes, whatever those changes may be, and the Republican party, led by George Bush continually shuts them down, they will symbolically convince the American people that they are the party of change and that the red are simply trying to hold them back for spite. If the people are convinced of that, then the Democrats will skip into victory in the next presidential election.
Rahm Immanuel knows this. This is the guy to watch. I am not saying here that I think he is more talented than Karl Rove, because if fact, I think the opposite; though I do think he is talented enough. And with his party on the verge of controlling the escalating mutiny that is Washington, he may be able to lead the blue into greener pastures for some time to come.
After watching a few these events unfold over the last couple of days like Bush announcing his 21,000 troop increase and top Democrats trying to decide whether to take an immediate symbolic moral victory or listen to John Murtha and have a longer lasting but harder to come by victory, I must say that I have felt something that I haven't felt in a very long time.
I feel as though power may be shifting. I mean power may be shifting in a very powerful way. If Immanuel can play his cards right and the Democrats, at least for the next couple of years can keep their malcontent, then the Democrats may hold power for many years to come. I really feel this.
Now the disclaimer is that this may be to the chagrin of the American people. Because while this "no strategy is our strategy" may be working wonders for them at the moment, what happens when this country truly needs them to unite. When they can't, what do we do then?
I fear all the Bush's may be gone.

Satisfied With An Insurance Company
Who ever would have thought?
I have a Motorola Razr, and at the beginning of the year I was at work, when I dropped it in a bucket of dirty mop water. Don't ask.
Needless to say there was no way I was going to get to work again, so I called this company. And though the twenty five minute automated conversation I had to have before I was able to talk to a real person was somewhat taxing upon my patience, the whole ordeal took no longer than a half an hour and my new phone was in my hands the next day, as promised, blemish free.
Granted I had to pay the fifty dollars to make all of this happen, it was better than shelling another three hundred out to Verizon for a new one. Overall satisfaction.

Blu-ray Victorious
ITWire.:
Funny, Blu-ray seems to have been in touch with some of Bush's PR people.
Right now the two formats are slugging it out, toe to toe, at CES for the hearts, minds and wallets of the masses. The format war has sparked a press release campaign, with each side claiming to be winning, yet Blu-ray has gone so far as to clear itself victorious.Read on however, and you will learn that at most the two formats are still in a dead heat to the finish line.

For All You Fantasy Congress Players
Though the 110th session of congress is officially underway in the real world, fantasycongress.com is a little delayed.
This upset me at first, but reading on they explained that the reason they decided to wait is because they are still in the midst of making some pretty exciting changes that I think will improve game play. So sit tight and be patient; I think this is going to be a pretty exciting session.
If you have never heard of the sight, you should visit immediately, it's a lot of fun. And if you would like you could play against me by joining my league. It's called The 13th, join soon and test your congressional abilities.

Jobs And Team Introduce New iphone
Being a proud owner of the ipod, I will say that this is pretty exciting; made much more so by the intense hype this thing is getting from pretty much every news source I have read that is covering the story.
At five and six hundred dollars for a four or eight gig, respectively, that is a little out of my comfort zone. But like all other new technology, as it gets a few months old the prices will drop drastically and I will have to seriously consider this purchase.

Are You Freaking Kidding Me!
Sunday, November 19, 2006
Mark Davis:
The movie sensation known as Borat has divided America into three groups: those who have seen it and found it deliciously, subversively funny; those who have seen it and recoiled in shock; and those who have not seen it and are left wondering what all the fuss is about.Unfortunately as of right now, I'm in the third camp.
Though Davis is right, the more things of this nature I hear about the movie the more I think I will go ahead and make time for it.
