  • Robin Williams The Funny Man The Sad Clown

    “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” By Bobby McFerrin, featuring Robin Williams in music video

    Everyone seemed to love this man. He had a prolific media career. Multi-generational.

    The reason for this particular post has to do with taking the burden of keeping everyone happy on your shoulders. Who is really the brave one? Who is the coward?

    In life, imagine there are a lot of losers and very, very few real winners. Imagine the load on one’s shoulders who has to keep everyone going, keep them happy, keep them sane. You’d have to use so much reverse-psychology just so they think they are actually winning in life.

    So the question I present is:

    Would you lose in life to give someone you cared a sliver of hope of winning?

    Everyone’s miserable and sad, and the guy that makes you happy you won’t let find his happiness. Or when he needs to be sad, you won’t let be sad, because you want him to be happy to keep you happy. It’s kinda greedy, isn’t it?

    So would you lose?

  • CIA director apologizes for his homies being gay

    http://news.msn.com/us/cia-director-apologizes-to-us-senate-leaders

    Same bullshit, same bat-time, same bat channel.

    If you’re ever the victim of government spying and harassment, it’s ALMOST ALWAYS someone in your inner circle that has betrayed you. Count on that. I put my life on it. Sometimes your own family members.

    Yes, the CIA makes people you think you can trust into back-stabbing cowards that will drop you at a moment’s notice.

    The superficial apology doesn’t change human nature.

  • Ex-NSA Chief Keith Alexander to Sell Anti-Spying Services

    http://dailycaller.com/2014/07/29/this-is-why-ex-nsa-chief-keith-alexander-can-charge-1-million-a-month-for-cyber-security/

    By Chongchen Saelee

    BULL SHIT. Whenever a major weapon becomes obsolete, it gets commercialized. Microwave oven. The Internet. Cellphones. Laptops. Humvees. Etc.

    So NSA got called out, as that was part of their plan. It was inevitable. Edward Snowden was their insider salesman. The idea was to act like they were curbing the spying, but either way, they win because it’s their technology. Now they’ll charge you to not spy on you. In essence, they already can spy on you, but now you pay them to slap themselves on the wrist. They win. You lose.

    Of course, they don’t want to confirm they can read your minds. Wait until they commercialize that. What kinds of horrors will happen? Right now they’re using it to read “terrorists” sand niggers minds, Chinee commies, your gay thoughts of bathroom stall sex, who you want to murder, what you want to buy at Walmart and Amazon. It’s making them too much money to reveal to the public, so they’re throwing you a bone with this stupid phone data collecting stuff.

    And I’m sure they can control the weather too.

    These things ALWAYS start out with good intentions, claim to be for national security, of course, until they realize there isn’t really any need for it and people hate wars. So when their weapons become obsolete, then they exploit it and sell it to people who may be dumb enough to pay money for it.

    And that, people, is what drives the assholes who claim to be protecting us. Standing ovation.

    It looks good. As good as if I wrote it myself. Wink. Wink. CIA, you owe me one.

  • America’s First Asian Superhero The Green Turtle is Public Domain

    Check out the entire run of Chu F. Hing’s The Green Turtle in Blazing Comics, hosted at Digital Comic Museum under public domain. Yup, that means you can start creating your own adventures with this character much like Dracula and Sherlock Holmes (in America anyways) without having to worry about infringing on copyrights.

    Hey, that gives me an idea. I will indeed take it an run a mile with it. Cyborg Green Turtle, here it comes!
