No Such Thing as a Free Lunch
Simple rule of Capitalism.
"You don't get nothin' for free!"
That being said, ever wonder why the Federal Government is so willingly giving out vouchers for digital TV converters? I mean, health care, no vouchers. Education, no vouchers. Bail out, no vouchers, but they decide to switch the TV broadcast spectrum to digital for no real reason.. and it's all alcoholic-parent-coming-home-from-rehab-to-make-amends.
Well, here's just one of the nifty reasons they have... to hide from you.

Victims Victoriously Vie for Victimization Sans Vaseline
I hate to whine, cry and feel "Wronged" when I know I should just feel STUPID. For me, being stupid is painful. It hurts every time! For the posters on this page,
The Sloppy Money Order Scam
I'm guessin they are somehow oblivious to the pain. Or gettin off on it... Read the article, then the comments. I am sure you will understand why I had to post this comment there...
"I am missing something here… Every poster here has made the claim that Craigslist failed to adequately inform them of the fact that the world is a DANGEROUS place. I have been using Craigslist for over 4 years. Every email I have ever received from every one of 100’s of ads I have ran there, had this statement as its opening paragraph;
“** CRAIGSLIST ADVISORY — AVOID SCAMS BY DEALING LOCALLY
** Avoid: wiring money, cross-border deals, work-at-home
** Beware: cashier checks, money orders, escrow, shipping
** More Info: http://www.craigslist.org/about/scams.html”
Not only that, but in order to even post an ad on Craigslist, a potential seller must navigate through 2-3 pages of posting options, all of which are headed by this statement or similar, in a font of at least twice the size and weight of the regular page text;
“AVOID SCAMS BY DEALING LOCALLY — IGNORE DISTANT BUYERS (SCAMMERS):
1. Most cashier’s check or money orders offered to craigslist sellers are COUNTERFEIT — cashing them can lead to financial ruin
2. Requests that you wire money abroad via Western Union or moneygram for any reason are SCAMS
3. Learn more on our scams page — avoid scammers by dealing locally with buyers you can meet in person! ”
Admittedly, the text does not blink, flash or come with an air raid siren. I, for one, am glad it doesn’t. Those things would be annoying… They would be even more annoying than the mandatory checking of the “I have read the terms of service…” check box. You know, that box that asks you to give your Word that you have completed a certain task and agree with craigslists position and opinions regarding the assumption of responsibility and liability for interactions through and due to any individual’s decision to post there.
So. Not only did the “Fraud Victims”, posting in this thread, fail to do anything to protect themselves or prepare themselves in any way, from the big bad world, they also have absolutely no qualms breaking their word for nothing more than their own lazyness and needless haste.
I, honestly, believe that the Nigerian Scam artists are not the villians here. They are hardworking, persistent and diligent workers who are actively engaged in bestowing upon all of you, (total strangers) the life skills you should have learned by the age of 8. Critical thought is a criterion of survival. Without it, we as a Nation would devolve into a morbidly obese, blind faithed, outspokenly ignorant, pharmaceutical addicted, manipulated and fleeced consumer caste whom all lack the ability to accept personal blame for the repercussions of their actions…. err. Snap!
Guess the Nigerians where “too little, too late.” Well, I guess its the thought that counts…. Anyone here ever tried either? Thinking? or counting?

I'm sure my comment will be stricken from the list on the grounds that it could potentially hurt someone's feelings. I didn't know they had any feelings... But if they do, someone should be hurting those feelings.

Hell... Since I have lost my faith in the Great Black Hype...

...or "HypObambinus" as I like to call him, (15 times in 3 States!!! I'll call him whatever I want!) I think it is time for a Blasted Reality Check. So for the next two weeks, it's time to sharpen your sticks with the late and great and never outta date, Bill Hicks.
Below is the first part of his Masterpiece "Revelations". The other 8 parts will be showing up about every other day. If you've never seen it, sit down, shut and learn something.

Back in the Dog Daze Afternoons
A friend of mine, has decided to illuminate the masses on the Genesis of His/Her Blogsite, SparringK9. This reminded me that A Post Apocalyptic traces its origins to the same time period and events. That and a bit of nostalgia, which really is not as good as it used to be, has motivated me to relink some old school Blasted Reality.

I'd have titled this story Dee dee dee! for Doughnut
But ABC has far more talented mole hill mountaineers than me. They came up with...
" 'Psycho Donuts' Divide Mental Health Community"
Ta-motherfuckin-da!
ABC News recently covered the controversy and confrontation surrounding a doughnut shop in a strip mall in Campbell, California. This hole in the wall dysplasia of the current Obesity Epidemic, named "Psycho Donuts" utilizes a mental illness theme to stand out from other hole in the wall, worthless, un-wholesome, waist widening, weight watchers ain't working, willpower waning cuz weakness is winning, eateries. Woo hoo. Now there's some news worthy of social discourse and societal change!! Oh wait one sec... My bad. This journalistic creation is powdered shit. Check it out...
Trouble at Psycho Donuts
"When the complaints started, the complaints were everything all at once. We have a doughnut called the Massive Head Trauma, the doughnut resembles a man who had ... better days," Zweigoron said.
The Massive Head Trauma, or M.H.T. for short, is a jelly filled doughnut with a frosting face with the letter "X" for eyes.
The M.H.T is one of Zweigoron's best sellers but "some customers said, 'What about the veterans coming back from Iraq with head injuries? This is offensive,'" Zweigoron said."
Absolutely!! The fact that we have been gleefully sending our youth half way around the world to fight, die, or possibly sustain crippling injuries in an illegal war, which was sold to us by the likes of ABC News and a pack of lies, is offensive! I am so glad that ABC is finally willing to talk about it. Oh snap. They are talking about the fuckin doughnuts!!
"When I saw them [the doughnuts], it was total shock," said Oscar Wright, CEO of the United Advocates for Children and Families, a group that supports families of children who need mental health services. "The Massive Head Trauma -- to have a doughnut with a white glazed face and jelly oozing out the side of its head, it was incomprehensible."
The fact that you would eat something like that is incomprehensible. The fact that it is called "The Massive Head Trauma" is funny. You see comedy is the melding of reality with the absurd. i.e. giving a desirable object an undesirable name due to a vague resemblance and an ironic homonym relationship.... am I losing you?
"... like the bipolar doughnut with half chocolate frosting and nuts, half coconut flakes..."
That is funny. Nuts.. Flakes.. Get it? If your answer is no, go get yourself a massive head trauma and I am not referring to the doughnut. For the rest of you, please ponder this next paragraph for a moment.
We are illegally occupying 2 nations, genocidally wiping out their peoples and killing our own troops with genetically toxic and radiologically deadly depleted uranium munitions. We are continuing to destroy the only ecosystem we have. We are vilifying and enslaving our own citizens with idiotic drug laws and we are creating a hardened criminal caste and culture with even more idiotic mandatory minimum sentencing of first time offenders. We are fucking up everything, everywhere, with every thing we got and ABC wants us to take sides and fight amongst ourselves about a doughnut debate.
"Let them eat cake... and make them guillotine each other over the semantics!"
Machavelli would be in shock.

A few thoughts on Luna(cy)r Landings
I recently read an article on the the front page of the Oregonian about Nasa rerecording over the original moon landing videos and having Hollywood companies help them remaster some video they "Found" in order to replace the lost footage. It is awesome, where the original footage picked up[ nothing, we can now see advanced CGI effects showing brilliant HD imagery. NASA says that they are only cleaning the footage up and not adding anything... Hmmm? How stupid do they think we are? Oh yeah. Very!
This ain't Star Trek. We can not clean up video images to show something the film did not pick up orginally. We lack the technology. Fuck.
OK and my opinion of the Apollo Missions? Do not believe anything your government tells you!! This too!! Here is why we never landed on the Moon. The Van Allen Belts are between here and there. They are between 7 and 10 Earth radii in width (4,000 miles). That is between 28,000 and 40,000 miles that would need to be travelled through in order to land on the moon. NASA has claimed that the Apollo astronauts were travelling fast enough to get through the Belts without taking life threatening levels of Rad. The Apollo missions were recorded to be travelling 24,000 mph. That would put them in the belts for over an hour at least. The belts would flash cook humans into spam in a minute. Hell, let's say astronauts are bad asses and could make it 5 minutes. They would still be dead. Dead. Dead. That is the reason the Russians did not attempt a manned lunar landing. They competed neck and neck at almost everything. If their movie industry had been up to it, they would faked a landing too.
So if you are interested, there is a valid argument for the conspiracy theorist side.
