The weather here is still just amazing, a perfect 66 and sunny. Its hard to believe most of the country, especially back east are seeing record low temperatures.
The News.
"A top economic adviser to the incoming Obama administration unveiled a plan yesterday to radically rethink the global financial system, including measures that would dramatically expand government control over banking and investment in the United States."

This is funny, they say its just a political statement. Of course it is. Rahm Emanuel was making a political statement when he called for "universal" civil service too.
Rangel to reintroduce military draft measure
Well, on the bright side its a great time to buy a house.
Foreclosures up 208 percent in Arizona, 81 percent nationwide in 2008
Why the heck this is, boggles me. They have already quit broadcasting in analogue up here back in November, so that was the last time I watched television. This switch to digital is terribly unnecessary. At best I suppose its a money making scheme. At worst its another way to monitor our personal lives. In my opinion its both. I suggest you join me and quit watching television. The bonuses include: more time for reading, more time for outdoor activities, more time for hobbies, more time for friends and family, saves money, less time wasted on nonsense that doesn't apply to reality, annnd with the internet you can watch what you like anyway with less commercial brain numbing.
$650 million more sought for digital TV transition
Speaking of television get this, Homeland Security is getting into the reality tv biz. I guess they want to show everyone that they are our heroes, stopping the terrorists and providing entertainment as well as paranoia.

Speaking of the internet, sadly, google is shrinking due to economic conditions.

On the war happening in Gaza, the Israelis shelled the UN headquarters on "accident".

Also there are claims that the Israelis are using white phosphorous in their ammunition on the people. This is the really nasty stuff that will burn right through a human being. It does up the kill ratio.
Spent shells prove Israeli use of white phosphorus, Gaza doctors say
Its madness, all of it. All of the war in the Middle east and Afghanistan needs to stop. It needs to stop every where. We as a people are so desensitized its truly disturbing. When we hear about casualties it doesn't even phase the average person. Did you know, that when men, women, and children, are being maimed, killed, and crippled both physically and psychologically, its normal to experience feelings of nausea, shock, disgust, sadness, anger, outrage, and sympathy? How many years? How many more?...May the good Lord have mercy on us.
What are we? Alan Watts talking to himself:
That's all for tonight. Asking yourself who you really are is a good way to start figuring that out. Pray for the people that suffer, their suffering is ours too. I wish things didn't have to be like this, but I suppose its the only way we can start waking people up. Keep getting ready. The neat thing about preparing is that you can never do it enough, and you will always forget something. Could you imagine your world without the following for a week: internet, tv, radio, phones, electricity, and running water. What would you do with yourself? If you can wrap your mind around that one, then I think we'll be in good shape for anything =).
Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.~~~Twain

An unjust man is an abomination to the just, and he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
