The Young Turks show discusses the real value of money

How much money do you need to be happy?

In this video, the Young Turks explore what it is  to be rich, what it is to be poor. How much money  do you really need to be happy? I've explored this myself and I realized that I'm really not a mansion guy. I discovered after some quiet contemplation that about 100,000 tax-free dollars is my magic number. 

But what's your magic number? $100,000, $200,000 -- or is it like a video suggests, $75,000? Think about it, drop me a line and until next time… Roll on! 

'Sexy and I Know it Christmas' lights will crack you up festively

HAPPY SEXY HOLIDAYS!

Roll on!

Reblog Rerun Month: iPad study shows hope for autistic children...

Today's reblog holds a very special significance as, in my mind, it solidifies why my new iMac will be so uber cool as the following seems to be an overall trend with Apple products throughout the webosphere.

Until then... roll on iPeople!

The National Defense Authorization Act isn't being covered by the mainstream press?

The fact that the mainstream media hasn't mentioned this is very scary:




"The broadcast media's ignorance and unwillingness to cover the National Defense Authorization Act, a radical piece of legislation which outrageously redefines the US homeland as a 'battlefield' and makes US citizens subject to military apprehension and detainment for life without access to a trial or attorney, is unacceptable." - David Seamen, Business Insider

President Obama's response:  http://www.nationaljournal.com/nationalsecurity/obama-threatens-veto-of-defense-authorization-bill-20111117


Here is the most recent news on the matter: http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2011/12/occupy_portland_protesters_mar.html




My thinking in posting this is that it screams of the McCarthyism of the 1950s in which anybody suspected of being a Communist could be blacklisted from American popular society. Today, if you and I are accused of something in this country, we get a trial. Opponents claim that under the  wording of the proposed NDAA, if we are merely suspected of being a terrorist, that might not happen; and while I don't feel I'm in any direct danger of being accused of terrorism, the premise of this bill is still scary as all Orwellian hell.


Please pass this on as media seems to be shying away  from what  appears to be a mammoth civil rights issue.


Until next time... keep enjoying Reblog Rerun Month and as always... roll on!
