What’s on your mind this Thursday?
**********
What do you think of the unveiling of the new iTab by Apple?
Didn’t Tab already have its day in the sun. Pretty can, nasty soda inside. Nod to The Simpsons (and shoutout to Eamonn, our personal gremlin, officially assigned to us by the DNC, Simpsons nut that he is), but no, Tab doesn’t really come out of a keyboard, no matter how many times you push that button (or have a drinking bird toy do it for you).
We’ve seen these tablet PCs in stores for years, but have never in our lives seen an actual person with one before. There are actual laptops out now that are the size and shape of that iTab. For people who want a device that’s smaller, but with some functions of a laptop, there’s the iPhone.
Since we were kids, we dreamed about “electronic ink” that would replace newspapers with little tablets you could carry around that would have all the books in the world, and any paper or magazine you wanted on it, at your fingertips, with no paper wasted.
But, really, the iPhone already is that, sort of. Friends of our that have them can do some pretty amazing, Star Trek, things with them (the coolest, still, is the app that lets you hold the device up to music and the computer will tell you what song is playing, giving you the added option of buying it from the iTunes store).
So, we wonder if people who already have an amazing device in the palm of their hands will want a larger big brother to that to lug around. To us, if they wanted that, they’d just get a laptop.
So, who is the iTab designed for?
But, we still can’t figure out why Avatar makes so much money. We thought it was essentially Disney’s Pocahontas, but with Smurf-cats and a planet that had about 6 different kinds of animals on it, all of which were just blue, six legged versions of the animals here. Like they were all bugs doused with Tidy Bowl. But, it’s the biggest movie ever, and we don’t know why.
Maybe all these Avatar people will buy these iTabs too.
What’s your take?

Avatar made so much money for one reason ONLY, the animation. Most people who saw it never even really looked at the story and instead just watched the bright, flashy colors of the latest and greatest that the animation world could churn out and then waited for the video game to be released.
The iTab appeals to the same group, they buy them for the flash and status – kind of like getting a Prius – instead of looking at it as a tool.

You mean kind of like cashmere under-shorts?
January 28, 2010 at 12:28 pm
Yep, Avatar is for the ADDer’s.. the ones who are easily distrac………
OH! COOKIES!

You know, I recently came to the conclusion that many on the Left are actually racist. NO, I didn’t know that before. Ok?
Anyway, here’s Chris *tinglelegs* Matthews:

January 28, 2010 at 9:53 am
You are 100% correct Angela.
Since those socialist/lefties do not think they are racist, they never ever spend even a split-second in “self-examination” of their racial view points – which of course GUARANTEES they end of holding racist attitudes and behaviors.

I wasn’t terribly busy at work this morning.
Glenn Beck was all over ‘Tingles.’ He was mentioning how, when he gets his prescriptions filled, and he has questions about the medication and he talks to his pharmacist, well…the pharmer is ‘soooo well versed’ that Glenn forgets he is Black. And when he gets his car fixed, and its all done and works perfectly he ‘is amazed he forgets the mechanic is Black.’
And so on.
It speaks volumes to Tingles mindset (about Obama and anyone ‘different’ from him) FOR THE OTHER 23 HOURS yesterday.
Who is the racist Chrissy? Who?
January 28, 2010 at 12:35 pm
The left has a list of prejudices—
Races, religions, regions, states, ages … you name it….
They hate everyone.
January 28, 2010 at 2:44 pm
I never understood that before either. Or the misogyny.
They are the users and abusers described in every self-help book I ever read.

I think the I-Tab will be a status thing for those who want to hang out at starbucks and the coffee bean and be noticed while pretending to not care.
Would have been kind of interesting if it had a printer built into it.
January 28, 2010 at 9:09 am
that’s funny.
Have you ever seen people actually speaking to each other at these wi-fi cafes? I’d think if one were single it would be a good place to make friends but I’ve never seen anyone’s gaze stray beyond the monitor in front of them.

I think this is a great commentary on what legal discrimination has done to our country:

We seem trapped into it now. I don’t see it ending any time soon, regardless of the harm it has done.
January 28, 2010 at 4:24 am
Just watching the State of the Union replay. Geeze…what a rehash of every lie Dr. Utopia has ever uttered. It amazes me that anyone finds him the least bit inspiring. I just watch that head swivel left to right, chin up and think what a lightweight he is. Did you notice how skinny his neck looks in that oversized white shirt? I think the pressure of a real job is getting to him. Or maybe Michelle is cooking up too much of that organic food from her garden and he’s passing on the Wagu beef that they are so fond of. Whatever it is, he doesn’t look well.
January 28, 2010 at 9:55 am
Rose Marie, you do know that Obama is a cigarette smoker don’t you?
January 28, 2010 at 5:22 am
actually, old fart that i am, i remember Tab from when cyclamates were legal…. it tasted fine.
of course, that was back when i was young and had a future, so everything was better, but Fresca went to hell too, when the change hit.
there’s a reason “saccharine” is a pejorative term.
January 28, 2010 at 12:28 pm
I loved the ‘old’ Fresca too.

Thanks for pointing that out. I was wondering about that last night. He couldn’t acknowledge them because then he would have to talk about that terrorist act. I think Obama wants all of us to forget that we are under assault and at war.
January 28, 2010 at 7:45 am
Where does Frank Luntz find those people on his panels? “Game changer” “A lot of hope in the air” “Nailed it with jobs and innovation”…are these people crazy? Words…words…words people!!
Also with the iTab…hopefully it has an extra strength screen on it since you have to touch it all the time…
January 28, 2010 at 7:47 am
and no offense meant to Hillary on a personal level but after Obama and the left-wing liberals get finished with us..I am not so sure that people will vote for another Dem POTUS candidate for awhile..and since she will remain loyal to the party she may have to suffer the consequences of that…

Just How Leftist Has the Democratic Party Become ?
By Andy Wickersham, Pajamas Media, January 28, 2010
The voting statistics of elected Democratic officials are simply astounding.
Glenn Beck posed the following question during his Fox News program [1] last week:
Who will win the battle for the soul of the Democratic Party?
Truth be known, that battle has already been won, and the proof that liberals (or progressives, statists, etc. [Socialists!]) have been victorious goes well beyond their assault on liberty under Obama. The “liberalization” of the Democratic Party — a party which in the last three decades has nominated Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, and Barack Obama for president — actually occurred well before Chicago on the Potomac began playing.
In 1996 Stephen Moore and Jeremy Hildreth wrote an article for National Review titled “Endangered Species: As the Political Parties Polarize, Conservatives Have All but Disappeared from Democratic Ranks [2].” In their article they reveal findings showing the change in ideological makeup of Democrats in Congress between 1974 and 1995. Here are some of the results of their analysis:
Employing statistics from the Americans for Democratic Action, a self-defined liberal activist group, we analyzed House and Senate voting records dating back to 1974. Using as a definition of “liberal” someone who votes with the ADA recommendation at least two-thirds of the time, we found that in 1995 nearly four out of five Democrats in the House (78 percent) qualified as liberal. That is more than double the 34 percent of 1974.
They go on to say about the Senate:
In the Senate, the statistics are equally grim. In 1974, only 55 percent of Democrats were classified as liberal; by 1995, the figure had risen to 93.5 percent.
Well, unfortunately the situation has gotten even more grim. According to the ADA statistics [3] (based on 20 votes), 97 percent of the Democrats in the House and 98 percent of the Democrats in the Senate voted with the ADA recommendation at least two-thirds of the time in 2008. The only Senate Democrat voting against the ADA position more than a third of the time was Louisiana’s Mary .
The congressional Democrats were so liberal in 2008 that nine out of ten members of the “party of Jefferson” voted with the ADA at least four-fifths of the time. By voting just once against the ADA recommendation, Dennis Kucinich was unable to match the liberal voting perfection attained by 86 of his Democratic colleagues. And a quick look at the performance of the Massachusetts congressional contingent makes Scott Brown’s victory look all the much more astounding: the 12 Democrats representing the Bay State managed a grand total of 4 votes against the ADA position.
The ADA is not the only group that puts out congressional vote ratings. A look at the American Conservative Union’s (ACU) vote ratings [4] confirms the ADA findings that the Democratic Party in Congress has become almost exclusively a club for liberals. According to the ACU’s statistics (based on 25 votes), 98 percent of House Democrats voted against the ACU position at least two-thirds of the time, and 92 percent of the Democratic representatives voted against the ACU’s position at least four-fifths of the time.
But as remarkably liberal as the House Democrats were in 2008 according to the ACU’s statistics, the Democrats in the upper chamber were even more so. An astonishing 94 percent of the Democratic senators voted against the ACU’s position at least four-fifths of the time in 2008, and not one Democratic senator managed to escape the liberal third.
However, the liberal composition of the congressional Democratic caucuses perhaps becomes most apparent when you look at the performance of that group of maverick Democrats known as the Blue Dogs. Of the current Blue Dogs that were serving in 2008, the typical (median) member voted with the ACU only 12 percent of the time. And this from a group that claims on its website [5] that it was formed
“with the goal of representing the center of the House of Representatives and appealing to the mainstream values of the American public.”
The performance of these Blue Dogs in 2008 was actually quite close to the typical congressional Democrat’s woeful performance over the entire ten-year period between 1999 and 2008. During this period the typical Democrat in the House averaged an ACU score of 8, while the typical Democrat in the Senate averaged an ACU score of 10.
So as you can see, the Democratic Party — a party that had tried to give us HillaryCare before Barack Obama even attained his first elective office — had lurched left before The One came to town. It had clearly taken up residence on the far left no later than 2007, as 91 percent of the Democrats in the House and 96 percent of the Democrats in the Senate voted b’s position at least 80 percent of the time that year — a year in which the typical Democrat in the House voted against the ACU position every single time.
The good news is there is an upside to America’s dreadful decision to give these people complete control. They are out in the open now, and if it turns out that Katy Abram was on to something back in August when she told Arlen Specter “you have awakened the sleeping giant,” a party this far to the left of the American center is going to have a hell of a time putting him back to sleep. What did Obama say about putting lipstick on a pig?
January 28, 2010 at 9:07 am
“This time, Justice Alito shook his head as if to rebut the president’s characterization of the Citizens United decision, and seemed to mouth the words “not true.” Indeed, Mr. Obama’s description of the holding of the case was imprecise. He said the court had “reversed a century of law.””

CHICAGO — Alexi Giannoulias’ rivals in the Democratic Senate primary launched new attacks on his judgment and experience Wednesday after the bank his family owns promised regulators it would take steps to shore up shaky finances.
David Hoffman’s campaign said Giannoulias would be a “disaster” as the Democratic nominee. Cheryle Jackson called for him to drop out of the race — something Giannoulias immediately rejected.
Broadway Bank said it had entered a consent decree with federal and state regulators. Under the agreement, the bank must raise new capital, sell troubled assets and improve management. The bank must raise $50 million or more within 90 days, reported Crain’s Chicago Business, which first disclosed the consent decree.
One way of raising the money is for members of the Giannoulias family,

When I saw a photo of the iTab in someone’s hands, my first thought was Star Trek. Didn’t they all carry around something similar they called a PADD that was like their portable office? Maybe iTab will sell BIG at the next SciFi Con … of whatever they call those things. No, I do NOT have a Captain Janeway costume in my closet. ;o)

Ran across this interesting quote:
“…If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
– Joseph Goebbels (and now The Obama Administration)
January 28, 2010 at 10:27 am
Obama threw Congress under the bus last night! It was not his fault, it was Washington (I guess he forgot he is a part of Washington) and in particular, it was the Republicans fault who always vote NO. Yet I guess he forgot that the democrats had a 60 vote majority for the past year and the NO votes came from within their own camp. Yet he was not daunted. Big bad Washington up to its old tricks and now Obama will distance himself again from them and travel around the country talking about JOBS. What a guy!
P.S. At this moment, Scott Brown is not yet seated in the Senate. Yet when it was to their advantage to seat someone to get a vote they wanted, it was done in 1 day!!!

I’d like to hear The Boyz comment on the news (at least to me) about the troubles Giannoulias is having with his family’s bank. Any way to score points politically, either for his Dem rivals in the 2 February primary or for Kirk in the November general?

I don’t know if this was posted on an earlier thread, but I just read this letter from a WWII vet in a Hawaii and it’s dynamite. If previously posted, sorry. If new to you, enjoy. I’m including the url where I read it: http://www.kitv.com/politics/22337870/detail.html. Here is the letter for easy reading:
Dear President Obama,
My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don’t believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.
I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos’n Mate. Now I live in a “rest home” located on the western end of Pearl Harbor, allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.
One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man. So here goes.
I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do, but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.
I can’t figure out what country you are the president of.
You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like: “We’re no longer a Christian nation” “America is arrogant” — (Your wife even announced to the world, “America is mean- spirited.” Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.)
I’d say shame on the both of you, but I don’t think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.
After 9/11 you said, “America hasn’t lived up to her ideals.”
Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War? I hope you didn’t mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around, because we stand for freedom.
I don’t think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.
Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man.
Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don’t, I’ll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue. You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.
And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don’t want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts, who was putting up a fight? You don’t mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don’t want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.
One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but you’re the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you’re not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you’re thinking of.
You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.
You’re not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That’s not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now.
And I sure as hell don’t want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.
Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes
[Also, from an article that originally linked this letter: "The U.S. Navy gives a BMC Harold Estes Leadership Award to a chief petty officer who has demonstrated superior leadership while assigned to a Pearl Harbor-based surface Navy ship. The award is named after the letter's author." (found here: http://www.kitv.com/politics/22338101/detail.html) This esteemed gentleman has been contributing to the world for a long time. God bless him and his continued service to the country.]

I have a tablet. It’s not that great. Now if the media would realize that for once Apple wasn’t on the forefront of a new technology.
January 28, 2010 at 2:57 pm
It’s what Apple does with technology and how people use it.
The iPod wasn’t just another MP3 music player. It transformed the concept by dramatically increasing the storage space, making the controls ultra simple, and providing a music store for both PC and Mac platforms. Over the years, it became much smaller and added full color videos. Now it’s a small camcorder.
The iPhone wasn’t just another smartphone, which at the time were complicated beyond belief. Reviewers howled about the lack of a physical keyboard. The keyboard works great for a phone and the touch experience is amazing. For once the screen is big enough to see web content and the pinch/zoom expands and contracts so easily. It provides so many functions that some leave the laptop home while travelling.
Apple is now tackling the tablet/netbook niche in the same way. The iPad has technology far beyond the competition in its screen and how it works.
January 28, 2010 at 3:09 pm
Still with the iPod and iPhone Apple was first on the market with many of the features we want in those items.
iPod was the first portable mp3 player with the proper amount of memory to make them functional and the iPhone was the first smartphone that had features that had previously been reserved for personal computers – like complex games and expanded internet functionality.
The iPad is trying to get in on the tablet PC crowd, which has been around for five to six years, the e-book reader crowd which has been around for a while and already has a great deal of competition.
I just don’t believe that this will be another amazing round for Apple. They are adding a decent product to an area that already has decent products.
January 28, 2010 at 3:24 pm
Apple wasn’t first with either the iPod or the iPhone; pundits at the time said Apple was just too late in both markets to make a difference. That is always a risk. But in hindsight, Apple waited long enough to let market demand build and then went far beyond what the device was thought to be capable of.
Apple is about content as well as hardware. It introduced its book store along with the iPad, and can tap into the iTunes and App store already in place. It should also be able to tap into all the ebooks on the market.

Obama protestors line the streets

Published : Thursday, 28 Jan 2010, 12:51 PM EST
“Not everyone wants the $1.5 billion dollars President Obama will award the state of Florida later today.
Protestors started gathering along Kennedy and North Boulevards around 8:45 this morning. According to FOX 13’s Alcides Segui, by 12:30 there were just under a thousand people there.
Holding signs that say, “We’re taking back America” and chanting “Obama is a liar” – the group wanted to make it clear that they’re against the president’s policies.
“It’s not a spectator sport anymore,” said one protestor. “I think people have got to get involved and let our government officials know that we’re pretty upset with the way they’re trying to manipulate the economy.”
Critics of the high speed rail say it will be underused and will end up costing the state millions of dollars.”

Hey Boyz,
This is unrelated to previous posts but I just wanted to add something I read. George Soros was interviewed on some radio station within the last couple of day and he stated that gold should NOT be the basis for any financial system.
Remeber that I posted earlier when everyone was doing the research on Soros about how he attempted to destroy several economies around the world? Well, doesn’t the statement sound like the beginning of a plan? Those type of statements, usually only reported in financial circles, may be the beginning of a move to try to do the same thing in this country. Especially since O’s “fixes” for the economy are certainly not working. And…keep in mind that China has been making rumblings about another “alternative” to the dollar for quite some time now.
Just a thought…but I have a gut feeling it could mean something.
January 28, 2010 at 3:06 pm
Fox says the senate just increased the debt level to $1.9 Trillion by a vote of 60-39 in the senate. All the dems need to go as you say. How can that guy from Mass. still be voting? I thought the rules were his time is over even though they haven’t seated Scott.
January 28, 2010 at 6:14 pm
In December, they tacked on an increase in the debt ceiling of $290 Billion to the defense bill. That’s over $2 Trillion in just two months.
January 28, 2010 at 3:12 pm
OK. Call me caddy. Call me picky. Say I am in overdrive to find fault with O and friends but here goes my biggest, albeit petty aggravation on the big speech last night:
Biden’s tie and Pukelosi’s suit were coordinated like they were a couple. You know, the parents of the bride or groom, or church, or dinner party? Coordinating the two would be acceptable if their outfits had a campaign theme or maybe an O logo on the tie and she a logo scarf. But this was a major fashion pooh-pooh …unless….they are a couple???
January 28, 2010 at 4:48 pm
I just got back from attending a Tampa Tea Party protest against Obama’s spending. There were about 1000 of us that turned out. Lots of media were there as well.
As the motorcade drove by, Magic Chocolate Jesus sat in his huge vehicle, with his head down looking at his lap. Joe Lobotomy Biden smiled and waved at our signs.
The police were awesome; very professional.
We had 4 leftie college kids that ran up to us screaming “tea baggers, tea baggers”, and challenging a debate. We promptly responded by giving them information on who we are and why we were protesting (for their futures).
After speaking with them for about 30-45 minutes they stuck around and listened for the rest of the rally.
I wish I knew how to post photos on here. If you guyz want me to email pleas let me know.
thanks
January 28, 2010 at 6:32 pm
1,000 showed up? Great job, especially when you consider these are working folks. OMG…Magic Chocolate Jesus! LMAO…would love to recycle that one!

Does anyone have any thoughts on the Toyota recall? Are there really, really problems?
As I understand, it is a massive recall and reportedly could cripple the company. I don’t drive a toyota, so it doesn’t affect me personally, however, I am very suspicious of everything that happens while this administration is in office. I have a nagging feeling that perhaps the Obama administration would love to see Toyota go out of business. It sure would eliminate some of Government Motors competition. Do you think Ford Motor company could be the next company that is crippled with a recal? Just think how well Obama could come off by offering displaced Ford union employees a job with the newly bailed out and government-owned Ford motor company. He could then own all the Car companies in America. I just think that if Toyota was a unionized work force, the union would be screaming bloody murder now losing their jobs.
I just find it strange that all of this happens after the recent meetings Obama had with the Union bosses.
January 28, 2010 at 7:57 pm
Wow. Since the recall is global (other countries imposing it which is unusual) you may be on to something. The progressives are members of the world socialist movement/party and that is who Barry and comrades identify with and support in efforts to destroy America. So, maybe that is why the global involvement. A US only recall would not put Toyota out, but several countries?
Would love to hear Rush address this line of thought.
As to Ford Motor Company; is the company related to The Ford Foundation where Opunkie’s mother Stanley Anne worked for? Take it from there with this question.
