Action Jackson

Did you hear what Jesse Jackson said when he thought his mic was off?  Ohhh, the things we say when we think our mic is off. 

But it shows you one thing:  For people like Jackson, Sharpton, and all those other political clowns (white, black, yellow, or red), it’s not about equality, hope, justice, or any other quaint word we can all believe in.

It’s about politics and power.  Special and personal interests. 

When Imus made a remark about black basketball players, he loses his show on MSNBC and is publicly chastised.  When Jesse Jackson makes off the cuff remarks, thinking his mic is off, he expects everyone to be okay with it. 

I am not okay with it.

He’s one of many individuals who spend their careers criticizing and judging other people when they make a verbal slip, but doesn’t want the heat when he himself makes one. 

Do you see how political this is?  We see what he really thinks of Obama when his mic is off.  But he’s asking us to ignore the candid remarks and listen to what he says when the makeup is on, the lights are ready, and the camera is rolling. 

It’s all politics, my friends. 

Not a person on the top really believes in what they’re doing.  They believe in more money, and more power.

They’re all as corrupt as you or me.

Ain’t one of ‘em got an ounce of hope, or change, that we could ever believe in.

Snarky Gas Stations

Some gas stations seem to be charging you more if you’re paying with your credit card.  They do this because credit card companies charge the gas station for each credit card transaction, so these stations have to do something to get their money back.  So what do they do?  They advertise slightly lower gas prices than their competitors, but sneak in those credit charges for plastic users. 

So watch your receipts, people.

We all appear to be on a downward spiral of technological, beaureaucratic damnation.  I hope we can pull ourselves out of it.  The free-market, capitalistic, industrial drive of America is really getting out of hand, going from a celebration of profit into the exploitation of the masses by the rich few.

Damn.  We’re in a tight spot.
