The Onion: 'Report- Every Potential 2040 President Already Unelectable Due To Facebook'

Source:The Onion- They can probably also forget about ever doing undercover work, unless they're playing drunk club hoppers.

"A troubling report finds that by 2040 every presidential candidate will be unelectable to political office due to their embarrassing Facebook posts."

From The Onion

This whole satire is about the fact that employers are now demanding to see their employees Facebook passwords, to see what they are up to on Facebook. And perhaps what they are up to online as a whole. What videos they post of themselves, as well as other videos, what they are doing while they are not at work.

To me this is an invasion of privacy, which is currently legal but I believe it should be illegal. Employers will argue that they need to know this info, to be able to judge their employees to get a better idea of their character and how they conduct themselves in their free time. And that they represent the company and organization, even when they are not at work.

But unless you are a public official, law enforcement officer, a doctor, something like that, you're not always on call. You have your work time and your free time. You have certain control over your schedule and your time. And what you do on your time, is your business, what you do on your employers time, is also your time but your work time is also your employers time. And that they can and should be able to use to judge you as an employee.

With the current system as it, everyone out there who social network's, be careful what you post. And how you carry yourself in public, because now unless this is changed, it could be used to hold against you, now and into the future.

It's not longer Uncle Sam and Aunt Jane as I would call her but Big Daddy and Big Momma, the people you work for, that have their eyes on what you do in your own time. Perhaps having spies out there patrolling their employees, that they feel may be suspicious of what Rick Santorum would call, immoral behavior and a threat to our national morality. In other words having a good time. Getting drunk, going to wild party's, having your photo taken of you as you are doing these things.

So the next time you are at a party like this and you see someone with an I-phone taking a picture of someone at the party, keep in mind, this person my be a corporate spy and you should be on your best behavior. Unless you are a Republican and you are thinking about running for office in the future. And you may need Christian-Conservative to vote for you. The Republican Cult as I call them, who by the time you are looking at public office, would've by then had hopefully of died off.

I wouldn't worry about what you do now, as long as you stay out of trouble. And don't hurt anyone, as far as it hurting a future career in public service. But if you are not looking at public office and work in the private sector, think twice about being drunk in public and what you say online. It could come back to bite you in the ass. A big bite from Big Daddy and Big Momma, the people you work for.

BBC: Jon Stewart, Bill Maher & Rory Bremmer

"What are the inner workings of The Daily Show or Real Time with Bill Maher?    The interviews give a small slice of insight into what the leading satirists in America believe they are doing and why they do what they do.   Also, Rory Bremner, from the UK is also mentioned.  I’ve never heard of him until now but it seems he occupies the same space as Stewart and Maher. I’ll see if I can dig up some of Bremner’s work, for the sake of curiosity."

The Onion: 'Democrats- Barack Obama Has Dicked Us Around For Four Years, Now It's Our Turn'

Source:The Onion- President Barack Obama: 44th President of the United States.

"While most Democrats plan to vote for Obama in November, they continue to tell pollsters they're "undecided" just for the fun of messing with the president's head."

From The Onion

People who are called Progressives are stereotyped as intelligent, well-educated, open-minded, reformers and willing to look and try new things. As well as living in either a big Northeastern city, like Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Boston. Or living in Seattle or San Francisco or Los Angeles and look down at people who don't. I'll grant where so-called Progressives tend to live, which is why their political candidates don't tend to do very well outside of these areas.

But the way these Leftists (Or Socialists, but not real Progressives) treated President George W. Bush, someone I voted against twice and consider him to be the worst President, at least in my lifetime, it's hard to label these left-wingers as a group, open-minded. As well as things like on education reform and other issues. Where they tend to be for the status-quo.

As open and reform minded, as well as supporting someone like Barack Obama as strong as they did in 2008, because they saw him as one of them, a Socialist Democrat, thats common in Europe. Someone who would try to make America like Europe, which is what Socialist have been trying to accomplish since the 1930s, at least. They saw Candidate Obama as the new George McGovern or Dennis Kucinich. But someone who could get elected.

If Socialist Hippies are so intelligent and open-minded as a group and I'll admit they have their share of intelligent people, as well as ignorant people who say the wildest things. And have their own conspiracy theories, they would've done their research on Barack Obama. And instead of finding the next George McGovern, would've saw Bill Clinton or Jack Kennedy. Someone who doesn't believe the Federal Government has all the answers. And that we have to be creative and intelligent and how we deal with these issues.

And that raising taxes or creating a new Federal program or spending more money on a current Federal program, isn't always the best way to solve these problems. You would think with all the Leftists that go to Ivy League schools, they would've bothered to of do their research on then Senator Barack Obama. And wouldn't now be so disappointed with him today.

I have my own issues with Barack Obama, he's not liberal enough for me on social issues. And doesn't have enough respect for civil liberties on national security. On things like the Patriot Act and indefinite detention and the War on Drugs. But I didn't vote for him in the Democratic primary in 2008. And had a pretty good idea what we were getting from him as President.

I've never seen Barack Obama as a Saint or a God or voted for him because he's cool. Which is the main reason why a lot of young people voted for Senator Obama for President. I feel no remorse for Socialists that worked as hard as they did and voted for him as President. And are now disappointed in him now.

Charles Manson: 'Denied Parole, With Next Parole Hearing Set For 2027’

Source:CNN- convicted serial murderer Charles Manson.

“Corcoran, California CNN —

Notorious killer Charles Manson, 77, was denied parole Wednesday after a California parole panel “could find nothing good as far as suitability” for his being paroled, a commissioner said.

Manson didn’t show up for his parole hearing, which was held at a state prison in Corcoran, California, where he is serving a life sentence.

Manson’s next parole hearing was scheduled for 15 years from now, meaning he could die in prison.” 

From CNN

"Charles Manson once more was put up before the California parole board and was denied freedom." 

Source:Daily Worldwide News- convicted serial murderer Charles Manson

From Daily Worldwide News  

“Infamous mass murderer Charles Manson just lost his last real shot at freedom … the parole board just denied his latest request for release.

The hearing took place at Corcoran State Prison in CA…where Manson– who was convicted of 7 murders in 1969 … including Sharon Tate’s– was previously denied parole 11 times.

Now … at the ripe old age of 77 this is most likely the murderer’s last stand…since his case cannot be heard again for another 15 years … putting him well into his 90s.

Only one Manson Family member convicted of murder has been paroled — Steve Grogan–who was granted his freedom in 1985 for aiding the authorities and good behavior.

If you recall…Manson was originally sentenced to death in 1972 but it was commuted after the California death penalty was declared unconstitutional." 

Source:TMZ- convicted serial murderer Charles Manson is exactly where he belongs for the last 42 years.

From TMZ

Charles Manson has been in prison for his current sentence of forty-two years. After being convicted for his part in the Manson Family murders of the late 1960s. He is now 77 years old, so just for is current prison sentence alone, he’s been in prison for more than half of his life.

The last time Manson was a free man from the mid 1960s, after being paroled from prison in Washington State, to the time he was arrested in 1969, for his role in the Manson Family murders, that’s really the longest stretch he’s ever been free at any point of his life.

It’s not just that Charlie Manson has spent most of his adult life in prison he’s spent most of his life period in prison. He’s exactly where he belongs, he’s never shown the ability to be productive on the outside, without hurting innocent people, or having them killed. Charlie Manson is not in Prison for actually physically committing the murders. He’s in Prison for conspiring the murders, for inspiring others to do his evil work.

Charlie Manson was originally sentenced to death for the role in the Manson Family murders from 1969. So were his co-defendants Leslie Van Houten, Patricia Krenwinkel, Charles Watson and others. But then California outlawed the death penalty shortly after their sentences. So their sentences were changed to life in prison with the possibility of parole. None of the convicted murderers have been paroled and they will never be.

Imagine that you are responsible for intentionally killing not just one innocent person, but innocent people and not only is your life spared, but you actually have a shot as small as it is, of one day being free. Even though your victims will never be free from the crimes you committed against them.

The Manson Family is lucky to even be alive right now and that’s the best they’ll ever do. You can make a good case that sparing the lives of Leslie Van Houten and Pat Krenwinkell, was a a good move. Both have made productive use of their prison sentences. Both completed college in prison, both hold good prison jobs. Both have shown they are now rehabilitated and probably no longer represents a threat to society. And both have shown remorse for their crimes.

Charlie Manon is exactly where he belongs and is lucky to have whatever time he has left to be alive in Prison. He’s shown no remorse or admitted any responsibility for his crimes.

Daily Worldwide News: 'Keith Olbermann Fired by CurrentTV'

Source:Daily Worldwide News- Keith Olbermann: time to go.

"Keith Olbermann who was brought in to raise Current TV's ratings has done just the opposite and was fired today."  

From Daily Worldwide News

To be honest you, I wasn’t shocked to hear that Keith Olbermann was fired by MSNBC a year ago. Even though they want to have a leftist prime time lineup. Giving voice to so-called American Progressives and looking at the news from a so-called progressive slant. 

MSNBC wants to be for so-called Progressives what FNC is for the right-wing. The rest of the NBC News operation I believe is fairly objective. And their reporting is solid. NBC Nightly News and NBC Meet the Press are excellent examples of this. 

But MSNBC Talk is clearly slanted towards so-calledProgressives. And Keith Olbermann is so far to the left, at least with his political commentary and anti-corporate if not private enterprise and so unafraid of offending anyone, including the people he works for (CurrentTV, owned by Al Gore) that he’ll say whatever he wants as long as he believes in it strong enough.

As much as Current my not want to be part of the corporate media and be part of the private sector version of PBS or something, they are part of corporate media. They are a business and have to turn a profit to be successful. 

CurrentTV has proven to not be the right format for Keith Olbermann. I’m not sure there is one, other than maybe HBO, Showtime or maybe PBS, where he could say whatever he wants to, swear as often as he likes. This is a format that’s served Bill Maher very well and if Keith can avoid offending one of these networks, maybe HBO, or Showtime, would be a place for him.

Keith, may fit in well there or going on talk radio. Starting his own website or news organization that reflects the views of so-called Progressives, (Democratic Socialists, really) because being the lead anchor on a cable network, which is what Current is and saying things that can offend corporate media, just doesn’t work, it doesn’t fit. 

Keith Olbermann needs to be on a format where he can be Keith and do his thing. And not have to worry about who he’s offending. Similar to Rush Limbaugh or Bill O’Reilly, but for leftists. And there may not be a big enough outlet out there that’s also willing to put up with Keith, that can make that happen for him.

The Young Turks: Ana Kasparian & Cenk Uygur- 'HBO's Game Change Preview'

Source:The Young Turks- actress Julianne Moore as Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, in HBO's Game Change.

“A trailer of HBO’s ‘Game Change’ is reviewed by Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks. Tell us in the comment section below if you will be watching the movie?”

From The Young Turks

I saw the movie last night about an hour of it actually. I think Ed Harris did a good job of playing Senator John McCain and Woody Harrelson did a good job of playing Steve Schmidt and Sarah Palin was clearly not up to the job of Vice President, or President right now.

We knew that Sarah Palin was not up from prime-time four years ago, so even the facts that were in the movie were not new. We knew that the McCain Campaign didn’t do a very good job of vetting Sarah Palin. Basically a little known Governor of Alaska, who may feel she lives in a foreign nation, because of how isolated Alaska is with the Continental United States.

I do have a hard time believing that Steve Schmidt and company would only spend 72 hours researching someone they barely knew if at all, because these people are way too smart for that. And that Senator McCain wouldn’t know how little research they did on his vice presidential nominee. The most important decision that a Presidential Nominee will make.

To take this movie at face value, you have to assume that the McCain Campaign was throwing a Hail Mary. Expecting to lose the presidential election to Barack Obama and that they needed someone who the Republican base would like personally, someone who could match Barack Obama when it comes to personality. Someone that would be seen as a political celebrity. If that’s what their goal, then they’ve more than succeeded. Because Sarah Palin is a political celebrity today, thanks to Senator John McCain. She has 100% name ID and is probably the most liked Republican in the party personally.

The McCain Campaign paid a heavy price for picking Sarah Palin politically with Governor Palin not being able to answer questions that a high school or college student could answer. Like what is the Federal Reserve and making statements that a high school or college student know aren’t true. Like the Vice President being the Leader of the Senate.

Julianne Moore is a fine actress, but way too upscale to not sound like an elitist not intentionally to play Sarah Palin. They would’ve been better off using Julia Dryfuss or even Tina Fey to play Palin. Not a very good movie and definitely a movie not a documentary. And probably light on facts as well.

The Young Turks: Cenk Uygur & Ana Kasparian- Rick Santorum: 'Colleges Kill Religion, Push Lib Agenda'

Source:The Young Turks- 2012 Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum. I guess the American Theocracy Party is not up and running yet. Oh wait, that's about 1/3 of the Republican coalition right now.

"Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum argued that the left uses colleges for 'indoctrination' of students while speaking at the First Baptist Church in Florida. Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur break it down." 

From The Young Turks 

"According to Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum, America has lost not only its entertainment industry, but also its higher education system. "Higher education was the first to go, a long time ago," he said.

While speaking at the First Baptist Church in Naples, Florida on Wednesday, Santorum claimed that the Left uses universities to "indoctrinate" young people for the end purpose of maintaining power. "It's no wonder President Obama wants every kid to go to college," he said."
