Just to be clear, I won't lambaste anyone for their beliefs, but I will, absolutely, lambaste them for trying to force their beliefs onto others, or dismiss an individual as being irrelevant, or worthless, or somehow less of a person because they don't share the same beliefs. Being blatantly...

I didn't take anything out of context. I put it in the same context that you presented it in. Actually, yeah you did. "The fact that a bum like Letterman would poke fun of this individual is not a surprise. Just more proof that we, as a sociaty, don't give a flip about our kids." Palin said...

So, not only should everbody's morals be the same as yours, now everyone's sense of humor has to be the same as yours. Interesting. I can't think of a single issue, including real live individual kids, that can't be joked about. The tragedy of teenage pregnancy is, indeed a tragedy, but it can...

Well, no, I didn't expect anything less. I'm more tuned into this stuff than most, because I hate it when I find myself being manipulated, be it in advertising, the media, a dispatcher, you name it. People talked about the media bias during the election, because it was so blatant and anyone...

Where's the outrage over A Rod knocking someone up? He's someone's kid, too.

You mean the one that says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of...

"I would never, never make jokes about raping or having sex of any description with a 14-year-old girl," he said, dropping his signature sarcasm. "I don't think it's funny. I would never think it was funny." "I'm not necessarily proud of these jokes," he said in a more ironically...

You say that like you think they should try their dead level best to keep the story alive and hot as long as they can.

Even the backgrounds have significance. Obama's is a pure, high key white background, known as photographic white vinyl, with a shiny, plastic-like reflective surface to make the white even brighter. It's a standard portraiture technique to make the subject "pop" out at your eyes (and is the...

In states where all parties much give consent, the consent must be verifiable, meaning it must be recorded. All you have to do is tell them something like, "You should know that this conversation is being recorded." If they continue to talk, they have agreed to be recorded.

No, this isn't evaluated spin, Doug. I've studied advertising, secondary messaging, how it works, and why. The goal of such advertising is not to beat you over the head with it, but to allow you to respond to the image in your own emotional way. The above images contain textbook examples of...

They have that on the napkins in the White House Dining Room. :D

It is spamish. Just trying to drum up a little bit of business for Lawrence and the whole gang over at On Time Media, LLC. :D On Time Media would benefit, Riordanco would benefit, owners of Sprinters would benefit, everybody benefits.

Jim, yes, it's SPAM, but loosely. It's a post that advertises a product, which by definition is SPAM, but it's more than that. To those who are not aware that the product solves a very real issue with the Sprinter might consider it nothing more than pure SPAM, but they would be wrong. This is a...

"1st the joke wasn't funny..." That much is true. Could have been. It was close, but it was no cigar. "and to connect either girl to a-rod and his sexual conquest was ignorant and there was no reason.." The reason was comedy. A Rod has long been the butt of jokes, especially in the New York...

Having your card charged before the item is shipped is the first red flag. They're not supposed to do that, because it causes you to incur finance charges for something you haven't bought. I'd call them and have them reverse the charges ASAP. As far as I know, however, this won't even be in...

What, exactly, did Letterman say about this 14 year old girl? Nothing, that's what. He obviously, and admittedly, confused the daughter that was with Sarah Palin as being the 18 year old daughter and not the 14 year old. His joke didn't mention the girl's name, nor her age. "One awkward...

Difficulty or ease of manufacture is not a factor in whether or not an item is patentable. What matters is if the item "novel, non-obvious, and have utility." Saying something is "patent pending" is far different from listing the patent number it has received, however. ;) It is amazing, isn't...

Well, when misused, it's not a good thing, but symbolism in and of itself, nor the need of people to relate to symbolism, is in and of itself not a bad thing. It is merely the iconic representation of an abstract idea, i.e., communication. It's what is being communicated that may be a good thing...

In Arkansas, as well as most states, the law reads, "Intercepting or recording any wire, oral, cellular or cordless phone conversation is a misdemeanor in Arkansas, unless the person recording is a party to the conversation, or one of the parties to the conversation has given prior consent."...
