Raspberry Pi’s Beta Boot Up

jeremy — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 01:59:16 +0000

As you can see here, the Raspberri Pi project is making headway on the beta boards. For those who don’t know, Raspberry Pi is an organization whose goal is to produce $25 and $35 ARM-based computers for education. I have multiple projects planned for the Raspberry Pi, and I think this is one of the most important projects in computing history. If you aren’t watching the progress, you need to be.

A Retarded Situation

jeremy — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 07:53:20 +0000

If there is one person in politics that I just can not stand, it’s Sarah Palin. I don’t understand why people flock around this woman like she is so profound. She is, in a lot of ways, a female George Bush. Bush had a way of seeming like your good ol’ pal, just a simple man trying to make a difference. My girlfriend says that he’s like your drunk uncle at Christmas time. That was his game, and they played it well. Palin does the same thing, “Oh hey, I’m just your average ma, don’tcha know?” Let’s be honest, Palin is hot. She’s an easy face to look at, and she plays that “I’m every woman” angle. I don’t get why people fall for it, when it’s so easy to see that it is not legitimate.

This whole Rahm Emanuel thing is just ridiculous. Palin demands that Obama fire Emanuel for using the term, “f–ing retarded.” Rush Limbaugh uses the word “retard” constantly when he disagrees with people on his show, so many have asked Palin to respond that this, which Palin has.

On Fox News, Sarah Palin said, “They are kooks, so I agree with Rush Limbaugh,” claiming Limbaugh was merely “using satire.” “I didn’t hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with ‘f-ing retards,’ and we did know that Rahm Emanuel, as has been reported, did say that, there is a big difference there.”

Yeah, the big difference is that Emanuel isn’t a Republican. Yet another double standard. If you’re going to fire Don Imas for saying “nappy headed hoes,” then you should fire Limbaugh/Emanuel for using “retard”. Or maybe you shouldn’t fire anyone, and stop using your children for political purposes, Miss Palin. This is a cheap way of making a political point. I don’t like Emanuel, Limbaugh, or Palin, but I don’t think anyone should be fired over this. It’s just stupid.

Sarah, being the “every woman” she is, attended the National Tea Party convention this past weekend. Oh yes, she’s involved with the tea party movement. Anyone remember how the whole tea party thing started? It was with a man named Ron Paul, who ran for President. He had a large grassroots following who were very libertarian. They were against big government, the Bush administration, and wanted change in Washington. The change they were hoping for, was to revert back to the way our forefathers had intended. The first “tea party” was a mass donation to Ron Paul’s campaign fund, which broke records for the amount of money raised in a single day. It was a refreshing movement and showed that we could take back Washington.

The election came and went, with Ron Paul hardly getting any media attention, but the tea party lived on. Glenn Beck, in a “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” effort, began to speak in a manner that sounded appealing to some tea party supporters, but attached his own political twist. Fox News couldn’t let this pass them by, so naturally, they bought Beck up. Now, you have this movement that the media attaches to Glenn Beck, so now you have a corporate owned face to the tea party movement, not a true libertarian, like Ron Paul.

The tea party you see today is a bastardization of what Ron Paul started. Something that was so true and pure has now become an outlet for the neo-conservatives to regain their power in an all out assault on their own people. The same people who were for big government with Bush, are now opposed to the idea and blaming Obama for this massive federal government that has been built up for decades. The sad thing is, people are buying all of this. Even more sad, are how dumb the people are in the spotlight, which brings me back to the National Tea Party Convention. Their first event was Saturday night, and Sarah Palin was the main speaker. I would explain all that I find wrong with this, but I’ll just give you these two facts, and I’m done with this.

One ticket for the entire event cost $558.98.
Sarah Palin was paid $100,000 to speak at this event.

I don’t know about you, but that sounds a little off to me. When it comes to all of this, I couldn’t agree with Steven Colbert more:

Fall Of The Republic

I finally got around to watching Alex Jone’s newest film, Fall Of The Republic: The Presidency Of Barack H. Obama. I enjoyed it and I think every American should watch this film. The movie explains how the current economic downfall began, the truth behind cap and trade, and how Americans have been conditioned into their way of life over the years. It’s one of the best films I’ve seen in awhile, so be sure to check it out.

You can watch the movie in high quality at YouTube, or you can buy it on DVD from theInfowars store. You can checkout the trailer here.

Kahunas- he’s got big ones.

In authortarian counties, when you show any opposition to your government, you are usually “dealt with.” This guy had the adacity to not only speak out about the Iran government, he did it to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s face! AND THEY HAVEN’T KILLED HIM…. yet. Kudos, dude.

Read the AP article.

Elizabeth Lambert is kinda hot.

Not only does she look good, she plays rough. How can you not like her?

People should not be afraid of their governments. The Government should be afraid of their people.

Remember remember the fifth of November.

Swine Flu

jeremy — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:00:27 +0000

Swine Flu is a joke. I can say that because one of my friends called into work one day after a night of drinking, and told his boss he couldn’t come in because he had the swine flu- and the boss bought it. Why are we so concerned over something that is so simple to vaccinate and has already been around once before?

Because the media sucks. They allow for the panic around this “pandemic” that kills less than the common flu. The vaccine isn’t even guaranteed to work, and are you aware of what’s in our brand new H1N1 vaccine? Let’s watch some educational videos and find out…
