Republican Hypocrisy
Leave it to Jon Stewart to point out the obvious and make it funny. But don't get me wrong, both Republicans and Democrats are hypocrits.

Writing
I know it's been a month since I've last posted. I actually went three weeks without internet... oh the pain.
I do plan on writing still but I'll be contributing to a good friends blog. He's a great writer and I love what he has to say. Check it out when you get the chance.

Michael Savage reluctantly gives up
As some of you may be aware, Michael Savage, aka Michael Alan Weiner, was persuing a lawsuit against a CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) for copyright infringement and conspiracy to commit terrorist acts.His case a couple of months ago was thrown out of court but was given the opportunity to rewrite his lawsuit to make it a little more believable to achieve his ultimate goal.
Savage has lost about $1 million in advertisements since CAIR has decided to boycott his show and attempt to get him to lose sponsorship. Their reasoning for doing so is because of Savages hateful speeches about the Quran being a hateful story and a story of slavery and his negative comments about Islam.
He recently gave up his fight and his lawyer has given up as well in fear of safety for his client. What exactly that means I'll leave to your imagination.
Quite frankly, this writers opinon on the situation is... KEEP fighting Savage. I know you're far too colorful for your own good but that doesn't mean you're not right most of the time. A lot of Americans, even those who are soft spoken or hiding in the shadows, are 100% behind you and wish you to push on.
"He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat" - Napolean Bonaparte
Every intelligent American in this country knows that we have extremists living within our own borders. With borders as open as ours, we would be foolish to think otherwise. If we can't fight fire with fire then we need to fight fire with the law.

He got it by.....that much
There has been a lot of controversy on whether Michael Phelps won his 7th gold medal in the Beijing Olympics games, 100m Butterfly, or if he grabbed a silver.
I, myself, even questioned if he won. Cavic was clearly in the lead with inches to go and I watched replays over and over and as much as I love Michael Phelps, I had to go with Cavic on this one.
Thankfully to technology the truth reveals itself.

You can clearly see that Michael Phelps' (left of picture) fingers are fully bent backwards from touching the wall. Cavic's hands are still fully extended. This is a clear picture that the technology under scrutiny is accurate to the one one-hundredth of a second.
Michael Phelps is truly remarkable in what he does. He's been getting a tremendous amount of flak from spectators in the world, competitors in his sport and the media for being "too good". Cavic even went so far as to say that he thought it would be good for Michael Phelps and swimming in general if he lost. There was even one American swimmer who was a bit jealous of his coverage because it made her (and others) feel inferior, like their accomplishments were nothing.
Granted Michael Phelps is overshadowing his fellow teammates and fellow Olympians but honestly he deserves it. Why do we teach our children if they work hard enough they can achieve anything they want and can obtain any dream they have if we're going to ridicule them for being too good?
Work hard but not too hard Michael! We don't to offend others by your super-human abilities.
I even read an article yesterday (early this morning) that suggests that Michael Phelps has an edge over other athletes because he's doping. No, not that kind of doping. The kind where his iPod he's always listening to creates extra blood flow and improves oxygen levels giving him an unfair advantage over the other athletes. I think it's time to ban iPods and sue Apple!
The only thing I can really say is congrats Michael. There will always be skeptics and haters in every aspect of life. Congrats on being the most hard working and level headed kid. And a very early congrats on being the best Olympian in the history of the world.

Did you notice that Michael Phelps wears earphones and is listening music just before his every Olympic start, at Beijing’s Olympiad Water Cube pool deck, be it finals or semifinals? … Phelps removed earphones 2 minutes before the start, and he was the only swimmer who worn earphones at the pool deck. Intriguing scientific evidence testifies: Listening to music improves blood oxygen capacity and is a performance enhancement.
The only thing I can really say is congrats Michael. There will always be skeptics and haters in every aspect of life. Congrats on being the most hard working and level headed kid. And a very early congrats on being the best Olympian in the history of the world.

Horrible slip of the tongue
ohh, ouch. Not something you want to say on the air. But if it was about a Fox News reporter maybe they are fair and balanced?

Cool
American Scientists say they are one step closer to creating an invisibility cloak on 3D objects.
Light is neither absorbed nor reflected by the objects, passing "like water flowing around a rock," according to the researchers. As a result, only the light from behind the objects can be seen.
