I was just on a Website where your 41-second ads were playing. I have to tell you that you and the ads suck for several reasons. First, while you may have been a good company (I have one of your printers), you're not anymore beyond just another computer company (you haven't updated your Mac utility applications for your printers). Second, the ads were set where you couldn't stop them or turn off the sound with the video controls, although they were there.
The last thing I want is to visit a Website and hear a really dumb HP ad and then discover I can't control it except to go somewhere else. I don't like your computers, or anyone which runs any Microsoft operating system or applications (my Mac is MS free) for that matter, so hearing a dumb ad for yours doesn't encourage me to think you have good products or services. You can argue all you want about Apple and Mac's, they're still better than yours.
Now if you would just update your printer untilities, I might have some reason to think differently, a little maybe, but not about the ads. Those you can stuff them in the bit bucket with all the other digital trash. And by the way, the ads themselves also suck, or at least the first 5 second did before I clicked to go somewhere else.

Sorry Mr Cain
Some thoughts on the republican campaign. Ok, besides being a complete waste of time to follow, let alone pay attention. But that said, here are some thoughts.
First, Mr. Cain is a joke. From my years as a supervisor undergoing sexual harrassment training and some incidents of it in the office I worked, I can say the charges are fair and correct, and with respect to his continual denial and then incremental admissions, face it, you're a sexist in the office. I've seen enough people like you in denial, it doesn't work.
You're also a racist, but not against white but blacks. You can't denigrate black people and play the race card and then whine when you're called for it or it's used against you. That's hypocritical and you know it, and you can't it for political advantage. But we see through it and you. You just an ordinary, everyday racist.
You're economic and tax plan would be a disaster to this country. As Rachael Maddow noted on Friday's (11/4/11) show, your whole campaign is a cruel joke on your followers and the voters. Pokemon is a cartoon show not a poet and your 9-9-9 idea is already taken. You're not qualified to be a candidate and definitely not president.
Second, if all the politicians did what they said, like run government like a business, everyone in Congress would have long been fired as incompetent. But even that and the thought doesn't matter, our government is not a business. It's that simple you can't run government like a business. It's entirely different and running it like a business would bankrupt the country and the people.
No business would hire a politician. They're only hired after they leave Congress to board of directors, think tanks, as spokespersons or similar useless positions for great pay and benefits and little real work. Only those who built their own or work for organizations, like Clinton or Carter, have succeeded to disprove the idea. The rest become empty figureheads. Ok, I'm open to more good examples.
Third, can we actually get some real debates, like long discussions on the issues to show their grasp of the complexity of the issues and the answers. But then would we really want that, knowing all of them are essentially clueless on many issues and idiots on the rest of the issues? But I'm open to be proven wrong.
I'll think of more thoughts, and like everyone else, just my opinion, equal in worth and value to everyone else's, and sometimes just as useless.

A Quick Note
Just a quick note to say I haven't updated this blog in weeks and probably won't for weeks if not months for awhile. The reason is very simple. I'm tired of all the poltical crap from the Republicans, especially the Tea Party, and I'm tired of the presidential campaign. We still have have another 14 months of anger, hate, and whatever else the candidates want to dish out and blame the ills of the country, the economy and anything else on President Obama.
And I'm angry the number of people eating this crap up as truth. It's nothing but cow pasture material, something ranchers and diary farmers know better to avoid, but it's coming out of their mouths every day. My ears are tired and my brain is fried from this stuff. I stopped listening or watching any news about the campaign and the candidates.
And I can barely stand listening to the President. He should get a backbone, some balls and a voice. It's not his style but it will be his demise if he doesn't. Either he has bad advisors or he not heeding their advice. And he's not listening to all those outside the White House who are giving him good advice what he should do to get re-elected.
And I can barely stand to hear him turn republican. He's jettisoning his base for the moderates and center thinking we'll be there next year because there is no one else. But he's mistaken when we don't write the checks or donate to his campaign. Most of his money is coming from big donors, many of whom also fund Republican candidates.
And I can't stand the Republicans in Congress, especially in the House, sitting on their hands doing nothing except talk in front of cameras to blame everyone but themselves, even for their lack of progress. And they're sitting on their hands in the Senate to filibuster everything, saying they want Obama to be a one-term president.
They want to and will trash this country, the economy, Americans for the White House. They're willing to keep us in a recession and more so put us in a depression to blame Obama. Like we don't see that? Like we're that stupid? They actually think we believe them.
Sadly, though, many do and sadly many more are blaming Obama, some of which is his fault, but most of which is the work of the banks, financial and investments companies, the corporations and everything but Obama. But he's an easy target who doesn't fight back.
And so I'll keep my sanity for awhile and this blog will be on an on-off vacation.

She was no Janis Joplin
At hearing the news of her death, I can only say while Amy Winehouse was a unique and individual singer, she wasn't Janis Joplin. While they may have had similar lives and deaths, Janis had heart and soul, and a voice which could rock an audience. Just listen to her albums and especially the Big Brother and the Holding company ones. She was a singer. And Amy wasn't much but a one hit wonder. I'm sorry for her death but she made her choices.

Selling Us Fear
Reading about the treasure trove intelligence agents have with the computers, thumb drives, DVD's, etc. found in the home Osama bin Laden was living in Abbottabad, Pakistan, apparently for at least 5 years and probably longer, with some level of assumed knowledge and perhaps protection of the Pakistan government.
Or so says the US government on the latter issue, demanding names of people in the government complicit in his protection and access to the people left in the house when Navy Seals (Team 6) took bin Laden and his son's bodies where they were buried at sea within the expected 24 hour time in Islam tradition.
But my point here is that already the Obama administration is talking about potential threats found in the material, one on the US rail system, supposedly wanting to create a train wreck where hundreds of passengers are killed or injured. Like that hasn't happened already in the history of the rail system in this country?
Or worse, like when trains transporting hazardous gases and chemical derail and create havoc on local populations and serious damage to the environment. And we're worried about one terrorist threat? Really, hyping one threat against the history of rail accidents?
What's the phrase? Give me a break. We all have or still ride the trains, on the same tracks where many trains carry considerable goods and food throughout this country. We ride with the normal expectation of safety and the normal risk of accidents. It's the nature of the world we live in today.
And we should be worried about a terrorist threat? So much the government can and will impose new restrictions on travel and new rules for passengers? Like the wasted crap we have at the airports and airline travel? And we can expect something similar at train stations? Like watch and no travel lists?
Will the government mandate complete and throughout inspections of all rail shipments? Or is the government only wanting to treat passengers, Americans, as potential terrorists? To screen us with more expensive, taxpayer paid, machines and more TSA worker on government payroll?
And the Republicans, the Tea Party and other less govenment advocates will acquiesce because it's protection from terrorists? Like we're all terrorists? Or just the other people they suspect, like democrats and the really radical leftists? And more so those "people" who to them are obvious, those of Middle Eastern heritage or ancestry.
In the end, what this is and what we'll hear more about all this material is just to sell us fear and sell us the government can protect us if only we pay our taxes and give up a few more rights, liberties and protections guarranteed under the Constitution, but that won't stop Congress from passing more and worse versions of the Patriot Act.
All in the name of fighting the endless war on global terorism. And against Americans too. The government thinks we're the enemy and they'll do anything to sell us fear of our enemy knowing it's us they really don't trust. And in some measure they're right, I don't trust the government anymore.
Amazing what fear will do to people and especially governments. To be enemies, the government and its citizens. The war isn't about or against terrorists, it's against Americans and America. Our government against us.
