My Statement

"Let me emphatically say that I am not anti-Facebook (Fleecebook), anti-smart phone, anti-Microsoft, anti-Apple, anti-Google or anti-Internet. I do believe, though, that the consumer is being ripped off of his privacy, identity and purchase history. We are being herded into a Facebook corner where what we "Like" and where we go physically and on the net will be scrutinized and sold numerous times to actually corrode and erode our culture while tempting us only with convenience, high tech and flashing video screens. The unsuspecting consumers need to be aware..." - Gary Lapman

Zuck A Follower?

No longer the leader, Fleecebook becomes the follower and copies the Google+ approach to security settings.  I guess Zuck is beginning to believe that "God's gift to Facebook programming" is not as bright as he should be.  Mebbie he should have finished college, after all money isn't everything.  Brains do count, and so does character.


Prostate Exam
After experiencing the discomfort and embarrassment of a prostate test at the Dallas VA Hospital, I decided to have my next test carried out while visiting the San Francisco VA Hospital where the beautiful nurses are more gentle and accommodating.

As I laid naked on my side on the table, the nurse began the examination.

"Don't worry, at this stage of the procedure it's quite normal to get an erection," said the nurse. "I haven't got an erection," I said. "No, but I have." replied the nurse.

Moral: Don't have this procedure done in San Francisco!' 



BREAKING NEWS!! Obama has just confirmed that the Va. earthquake occurred on a rare and obscure fault-line, apparently known as "Bush's Fault". Secret Service and Maxine Waters continue an investigation of the quake's suspicious ties to the Tea Party. Conservatives however have proven that it was caused by the Founding Fathers rolling over in their graves."
