White Boy Geek Rappers

One of the many things the internet has done is level the playing field for creativity, allowing a voice to those who would normally not be heard. One only need to look at the rise of Homestarrunner or Ask A Ninja for proof. Here is a video by Sniper Twins which is geeky, and very well done.

Self-admition to Media Bias for Obama

The mainstream media is biased, liberal, and those who still believe that news reporting is objective and fact driven are sorely mistaken. At least The Washington Post admits their blatant biased agenda in the 2008 election towards Obama. The first paragraph of the story is an unforgiving self-admission of bias. Some of the more interesting admissions were:

• Laudatory opinion pieces: 32 Obama / 13 McCain
• Negative pieces: 32 Obama / 58 McCain
• Obama got the editorial board's endorsement.
• Stories and photos about Obama in the news pages outnumbered those devoted to McCain.
• 57 percent of the stories were about the horse race and 13 percent were about issues.
• (Picture coverage) Obama led in most categories.
• Some readers complain that coverage is too poll-driven. They're right, but it's not going to change. (Jason's note: Did the polls represent the opinion of the public, or polls influence the public? Polling can lead the lead the person being polled or be made to get the intended results. Also, polls are not issues or stances.)
  
• The Post did nothing on Obama's acknowledged drug use as a teenager.
• The Post went over Palin with a fine-tooth comb and neglected Biden. They are right.

This only affirms the fact the one be a critical thinker and properly discern information. If you ever saw the X-Files, you remember The Lone Gunman, a rogue group of three publishing their own magazine of critical stories the media did not cover, or covered up. Critical news sites are hard to come by, but one I have been reading more of lately has been World Net Daily, which often covers stories before they are mainstream, or stories the mainstream media refuses to.

This Washington Post admission is a sad commentary on major mainstream American journalism where self-interest is disguised as critical analysis and has a major impact on influencing the election. The candidate's image instead of their stance on issues were covered, turning this election into nothing more than a high school prom popularity contest.

Peter Pan Street Names

In Big Bear California, there is a street section along North Shore Drive named after characters from Peter Pan. I first noticed this driving up there on a weekly basis doing computer work for the resorts. Below is a map listing the streets Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, Michael, Wendy, and Nana. Unrelated, there is also Cinderella Drive. Do you have any examples of creative street names?

Up Trailer

Pixar set the bar so high with Wall-E, I don't know if they can match it. Here is the new trailer for their next film, Up.


And remember Wall-E comes out soon!

Christians, I'm Calling You Out

Christians...

If you didn't vote Yes on 8 to protect biblical marriage...
If you didn't vote Yes on 4 to notify parents before children murder other children...
If you didn't vote for a Pro-Life presidential candidate to prevent 1 million murders a year...

...I'm calling you out. You are sitting on the sidelines. Your priorities are wrong. You are weak. You are doing just what the German church did when Hitler was taking power.

If this offends you, good. I make no apologies, because your beef is not with me, but with God. These are clear issues that the bible is completely black & white about. Get off your butt, recheck your priorities, and don't make the same mistake four years from now. Be the salt of the Earth, be a shining light in the darkness. Don't allow evil to triumph because good men have done nothing.

The Lack of Research

You will not believe how many say they oppose abortion and support marriage between a man and a woman, yet voted for Obama. Can one be so dense? These are their official stances, one need just look:

Official Democratic stance: "We support the full inclusion of all families, including same-sex couples, in the life of our nation, and support equal responsibility, benefits, and protections. We will enact a comprehensive bipartisan employment non-discrimination act. We oppose the Defense of Marriage Act and all attempts to use this issue to divide us." "The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman’s right to choose a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay, and we oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right."

Official Republican stance: "...we call for a constitutional amendment that fully protects marriage as a union of a man and a woman, so that judges cannot make other arrangements equivalent to it. "...we assert the inherent dignity and sanctity of all human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution, and we endorse legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children."

McCain and Palin are clear on their stance in regards to marriage and abortion, even with Palin not chosing to abort her baby with down syndrome. What about Biden? As a Catholic he is convinced abortion is the killing of a human, yet he lacks the moral fortitude to stand up for the murder of millions by sitting on the sidelines. Biden is inconsistent and a coward for not standing up for humans he believes are being murdered.

Surprise anyone? The facts are there, and too many are fooled, ignorant, or have inconsistent character when they vote. If you made a mistake this voting round, don't let it happen next time. One's beliefs and moral convictions should match up with how they vote.

Keep the World Safe From Weirdos

If you don't vote, you can't complain about how things turned out. We are at a crossroad in America's history, and we need Christians to stand up for what is right, and what our forefathers fought so hard for.
