Google celebrates Web’s history -

September 5, 2011

Google celebrates the Web’s history and with that came a cool graphic.  The interactive graphic is like a light to a moth for someone like me who at one time was an early adopter and now thinks of himself as sort of a Webhead, someone who’s entire life revolves around the web.  If you’re like me then you’ll enjoy the graphic.

I’m a little miffed about this article.  No, not the fact that it was written nor what was written but that we’ve heard the same thing before from the “Hope and Change” President.  Then why this article from Bloomberg and why now?

This post may not make many friends with those I call ostiches but it’s an op-ed piece.  I don’t believe I can wake the dead anyhow.

Here is a good example of “bait and switch”.  This is how it works.

  1. Listen to the concerns of the opposing parties’ complaints.
  2. Offer a dog-and-pony show to show that you hear the complaints and that you are going to do something about it.
  3. Place blame on others as to how we got here.
  4. Vilify the action of anyone speaking out as to really say, “We will really listen, and then ignore you because you are just really parroting the villains in this situation.
  5. Do more of the same.
  6. Move on.  [.org?]  

Change we can believe in?

QE3: Bernanke and the Potemkin Economy | MND

August 7, 2011

One more article that might make good reading:

The Soviet communists duped foreign visitors into thinking that communism was a viable and prosperous system by steering them to sham factories, stores, villages, etc. that appeared productive, bustling, and attractive. In reality, Potemkin villages were like movie sets, built to disguise the widespread poverty and backwardness that characterized life in the “workers’ paradise.”
