On your mark get set
Disconnect that internet
Every girl and boy
Breathing in the joy
Not a care at last
Sit outside and bask
In rays of summer's bliss
Crabs and fish and shells
Feel your tensions melt
Fries and pizza pie
Smiles won't be denied
Everything is cool
in 2 1 8 4 2
Feel the sparkle in your eyes
Catch a wave and ride
Cars and motorbikes
Bikini babes in the sand
Vibin' to rockin' bands
Ocean City
From Memorial to Labor Day
We beckon you to play
To a boardwalk beat
Miles and miles of beach
Your memories to take
Currents dance and sway
leave your footprints in the sand
Fireworks at night
Give your love a kiss
Sail and fish the sea
Here life is a beach
in Ocean City
Now is the time that's right
For you only live once
Time does drag when it's all work and no fun
The ocean gateway calls you
Sport your shorts and shades
It's so divine to dine at life's buffet
It's almost heaven and
There's so much more we can say
Catch a wave and ride
Cool cars and motorbikes
Bikinis on the sand
Dance to rockin' bands
Ocean City
As if the real news isn't weird (and depressing) enough, the satire is even goofier. And adding insult to injury, many people think it's real upon first glance. Things like:
-Santorum's divorce
-Teen who only texts and rolls eyes to be euthanized
-School of arts seeks to transform boys and girls into insufferable young men and women
-ORCA Act ensures all food and medicine to be 100% GMO within four years
The internet is a wonderful thing. It makes research and entertainment easy and convenient.
Just be careful not to confuse the entertainment with the research.
The kid who was incarcerated over an alleged threat on Facebook is now free thanks to an anonymous donor who posted his $500,000 bail. The threat came during an argument about a video game when he claims to have 'sarcastically' said he was going to "shoot up a kindergarten." He was jailed in February.
School violence and free speech came head to head as a result of the incident. In response to reporters, the young man said, "I certainly would have thought a lot more about what I said and how permanent my writing -- and everyone's writing -- is (on the Internet). People should be very, very careful of what they say. It's being recorded all the time, if you say it on any website, anywhere. And you can get in trouble for something that's not something you should get in trouble for. I just want people to be warned."

It was the wrong and cowardly thing to do. It was extreme. When all is said and done, it will not contribute to the accomplishment any possible goal held by the perpetrators of the murders. But the situation is much more complicated than that (much, much more complicated) and requires more than a simple ‘John Wayne’ response from a reputedly ‘responsible’ and ‘respectable’ public figure for such a response accomplishes no more toward a resolution than the initial, violent action.
Let’s start at the beginning. A film. A piece of ‘entertainment’ or ‘diversion’, if you will. Whether or not in the guise of educational or informational material, merely a film. Offensive to someone? Hell yes!. An excuse that someone with an agenda may use to further their cause, however justified or unjustified it may be. (More on that later.)
So a film was made and exhibited via the Internet. The origin of the film is extremely hazy and involves individuals from many and disparate origins including a former Marine and longtime religious-right activist (from a group called Courageous Christians United), a Coptic Christian, 15 key players from the Middle East) Syria, Iraq, Turkey, Pakistan, Iran), an alleged Israeli-born, 56-year-old, Jewish writer and director and who knows how much of this information is accurate. In any case, all or many involved are now quite frightened of the backlash their venture has unleashed.
First and foremost, in reasonable, rational and educated 2012, a film is a film. A document conceived, written, performed, directed, filmed, manufactured and distributed by human beings. Mere human beings. Nothing more, nothing less. Irrespective you spiritual, religious or cultural beliefs, in reasonable, rational and educated 2012, a film is still a film. Nothing more. Any ‘holy’ book that instructs one to kill another over a matter such as this is surely misguided at best. In fact, most ‘holy’ books, to the best of my knowledge, instruct their readers to be merciful; to forgive. In short, be virtuous; the better man and set the example as opposed to reactionary, vengeful, vindictive and violent.

. . . and Mama was always right. Well, at
least mostly.
First, well it actually happened Sunday, not today. . . Russ' smart phone fell
off the arm of the couch and did the triple back flip dive right into a glass of
water. Pretty smart, in my estimation.
Not sure I could have done it.
They don't call it that for nothing.
(Hailey said the sound of the phone hitting the water will live with her
for years.)
He said he bought insurance for it but never heard from the provider about the
insurance. Seems they have some kind of bogus email address for him and didn't
call, write or otherwise pursue him regarding the insurance.
Then, the new business cards show 396 instead of 369 on the telephone
exchange. And darned if the Office Depot
guy didn't have me proofread the card on the screen, in the store, before he
pushed the "GO" button, and I missed it. Matter of fact, it took me about two months
to notice it. Maybe that's why I haven't
been getting any new calls!
The bathroom scale has also been behaving less than
famously. We noticed that we both
weighed approximately five lbs more than formerly and that we care to. Discussions on purchasing a new scale have been underway
for weeks. We finally made our move and
when ‘testing’ various models in the retail outlet we discovered that the most
promising one actually adds about ten lbs. Not a happy development. Sometimes ignorance is, indeed, bliss.
Last, at the end of the evening as I sat down to write this, add graphics and
music and get it ready for posting but remembered Pam said that no incoming
email has been received. I re-booted the
router, twice now. Nothing. Checked the other hardware for the incoming
fiber-optic line and discovered that the BATTERY
NEEDS REPLACEMENT.
THE BATTERY NEEDS REPLACEMENT. At 10:00PM when I want to sit down and relax
and use the internet LIKE I DO EVERY NIGHT the BATTERY
NEEDS REPLACEMENT.
Well. . . (De Capo Al Fine)

. . . enables us to immediately send messages about matters of interest and importance, to our loved ones instantaneously through the wonder of the internet (and utilizing the internet) and email . . .
". . JANUARY 1, 2013, THE US GOVERNMENT WILL BE REQUIRING EVERYONE TO HAVE DIRECT DEPOSIT FOR SS CHECKS. WONDER WHY? Subject: HR 4646
Watch for this AFTER November elections; remember this BEFORE you VOTE, in case you think Obama is looking out for your best interest. A 1% tax on all bank transactions is what HR 4646 calls for. Do you receive a paycheck, or a retirement check from Social Security or a pension fund and have it direct deposit? Well guess what ... It looks as if Obama wants to tax it 1% !!! This bill was put forth by Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA). YES, that is 1% tax on all bank transactions - HR 4646, every time it goes in and every time money goes out. Ask your congressperson to vote NO. FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW! 1% tax on all bank transactions ~ HR 4646 - ANOTHER NEW OBAMA TAX SLIPPED IN WHILE WE WERE ASLEEP. Checked this on snopes, it's true! Check it out yourself ~ HR 4646. President Obama's finance team is recommending a one percent (1%) transaction fee (TAX). Obama's plan is to sneak it in after the November elections to keep it under the radar. This is a 1% tax on all transactions at any financial institution - banks, credit unions, savings and loans, etc. Any deposit you make, or even a transfer within your own bank from one account to another, will have a 1% tax charged. If your paycheck or your Social Security or whatever is direct deposit, it will get a 1% tax charged for the transaction. If your paycheck is $1000, then you will pay Obama $10 just for the privilege of depositing your paycheck in your bank. Even if you hand carry your paycheck or any check in to your bank for a deposit, 1% tax will be charged. You receive a $5,000 stock dividend from your broker, Obama takes $50 just to allow you to deposit that check in the bank. If you take $1,000 cash to deposit at your bank, 1% tax will be charged. Mind you, this is from the man who promised that, if you make under $250,000 per year, you will not see one penny of new tax. Keep your eyes and ears open, you will be amazed at what you learn about this guy's under-the-table moves to increase the number of ways you are taxed. Oh, and by the way, if you receive a refund from the IRS next year and you have it direct deposited or you walk in to deposit that check, you guessed it. You will pay a 1% charge of that money just for putting it in your bank. Remember, any money, cash, check or whatever, no matter where it came from, you will pay a 1% fee if you put it in the bank. Some will say, oh well, it's just 1%. Are you kidding me? It's a 1% tax increase across the board. Remember, once the tax is there, they can also raise it at will. And if anyone protests, they will just say, "Oh,that's not really a tax, it's a user fee"! Think this is no big deal? Go back and look at the transactions you made from last year's banking statements. Then add the total of all those transactions and deduct 1%. Still think it's no big deal? . . "
Then the nefarious email goes on to state that ". . . 1. snopes.com: Debt Free America Act���
Is the U.S. government proposing a 1% tax on debit card usage and/or banking transactions? ...It is true. . . "
. . but if you bother to really visit Snopes.com, you'll find they actually say it is FALSE! Go to http://www.snopes.com/politics/taxes/debtfree.asp
