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

Worst Security Threats of Facebook

The options in Libya are many, but the options have "consequences".  What can Obama do given that direct military intervention is off the table ?  One option that is not covered is covert capture of Gadhafi, just short of assassination.  Could this be pulled off?  What would the "consequences" be if the mission is discovered and fails?  Meanwhile the people of Libya beg for help....
So once again elaborating on the worst security threats presented by Facebook..... Why do my kids think that they are not affected by these and they can't get caught with their pants down?  It is already happening every day as people are losing their vitals to those leeches that take over their respective persona.

I just read that HBO is going to make a movie about Sarah Palin (what a waste) with Julianne Moore in the lead [What happened to Tina Fey- oh this ISN'T a comedy....  I'll reserve judgment on that].

A defense attorney was cross examining a coroner. The attorney asked, "Before you signed the death certificate had you taken the man's pulse?" The coroner said, "No."

The attorney then asked, "Did you listen for a heart beat?", and again the coroner said, "No."

Then the attorney asked, "Did you check for breathing?", and again the coroner said, "No."

"So when you signed the death certificate you had not taken any steps to make sure the man was dead, had you?"

The coroner, now tired of the brow beating said, "Well, let me put it this way. The man's brain was sitting in a jar on my desk, but for all I know he could be out there practicing law somewhere." 




For the old guy's 100th birthday, the nursing home attendants chipped in and got him a hooker.
The sexy blonde showed up in his doorway and purred, "I'm here to give you super sex!"
He replied, "I guess I'll take the soup!"
