Snakkle.com - A Very Irritating Website
I would not normally tell you to avoid a specific web site, but I recently saw a link while surfing the web that caught my interest. I was soon very sorry I had clicked on the link.
It was a slideshow of the stars of Big Bang Theory and their careers before the hit show.
Loved the info ... HATED the site.
There's a video at the top of every page on the site which starts when you open the link, and does not stop until you close the page. Occasionally, when clicking on the "back" button, you do not return to the previous page, but you are taken to a random site, most often a gaming page that has nothing to do with the original page.
Clicking on the video takes you to an advertisers ad, and when you close that ad you are dumped back onto the previous page, where the video starts from the beginning again. It seems there was no way to escape the haranguing videos.
Snakkle.com was so aggravating, I took the time to comment (on their site) about how annoying the site is. I vowed never to return until they change their "video assault" marketing style.
Avoid snakkle.com, folks - it ain't worth the hassle!

Simple Salmon Kerry
Thanks to Doug Powers for inspiring a new nickname for John Kerry. Doug recently quoted some of Kerry's wisdom:
“We call this beautiful planet that we are privileged to inhabit for a short period of time — we call it Earth, but it could well have been called Ocean because three-quarters of it is ocean.”
Kerry had prefaced that statement by describing himself as “a child of the ocean.”
Doug responded: Maybe we’d call the world “Ocean” if humans were called “Salmon.”
That was laugh-out-loud funny!
So a new nickname for John Kerry could be "Ocean Salmon" Kerry, or "Salmon" Kerry, or "Simple Salmon."
Whatever we call him, it is painfully obvious that on the Earth's diplomatic stage, John Kerry is a fish out of water.

Alien Security?
There's a video of President Barack Obama’s speech at the 2012 American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference. Conspiracy theorists are claiming that a member of his Secret Service detail is an alien. See the video here.
But after close examination, I have concluded that it's only James Carville, moonlighting as security.
Well It's been a while since I posted here, but I hope to resume and continue ad infinitum, God willing.
The last couple of years have been quite interesting for me personally, and politically there's been a glut of issues to ponder, worry about, and make fun of.
So let's launch into the next three-quarters of 2013 with hope, skepticism and wonder.
Thanks for joining me!

Space Station/Starship?
Imagine strapping a giant rocket engine on the International Space Station (ISS,)
inflating a few balloon-like structures to hold your luggage, and adding a
spinning carousel-wheel for artificial gravity.
This ungainly-sounding assemblage dubbed Nautilus-X, ("Non-Atmospheric
Universal Transport Intended for Lengthy United States eXploration") has been
proposed by the NASA Technology Applications Assessment Team at the
Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
The group is examining key technologies that can advance space
exploration in a timely and affordable manner.
