Well, it's never fun to talk about the mess called politics. But just the same, I do think that I will need to do a few posts regarding the issue. It is always a worthwhile thing to state the truth one more time. Today I saw a couple of examples of Democrats that you might want to avoid.
Barbara Sykes, the Democratic candidate for state auditor, said something she doesn't want you to hear. See for yourself:

In a speech delivered to the Ohio House of Representatives, Sykes claimed to be ''a liberal Democrat'' and went on to say ''I think people should work so they can pay their taxes because we need their money.''
That's right. The Democrat running for state auditor thinks you should work for a living so you can PAY THE GOVERNMENT. If that isn't the height of political arrogance and greed.
To make things worse, the Democrats are running a candidate for governor who's regularly criticized for not having a plan to lead Ohio. Need proof?
Watch this...

Good rule of thumb - avoid the democrats (especially one that would admit to being a liberal) like the plague or an E.Coli attack.

Thursday email test
As you certainly can tell, I am a newbie with blogging and websites. In reviewing my setup for this
blog, I came across the option of using email to submit a blog entry. This may be helpful next week
since I will be away from my normal computer.
So here it is! Hope it looks OK!
Have a great day,

Are you being stalked?
Just this week, a game called “StreetWars” kicked off in New York with around 240 players. It is a version of a popular high school and college game called “Assassins.”
The came is a combination of hunt and be hunted. Each player is given a photo, name, home and work addresses and phone number of a ‘target’ that he must pursue and kill. Now fortunately the kill is with water such as a water pistol or water balloon. While this player is hunting his prey, he must elude the player that is after him.
It costs you $40.00 to enter, but listen to the prizes. The winner gets $500, a bottle of Jack Daniels and a water gun mounted on a trophy.
Now, you may not realize this, but this is not an isolated event. After the first New York game in 2004, “StreetWars” has been played in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vancouver, London and Vienna, Austria. The game co-founder Franz Aliquo plans to develop the game into a reality TV show.
The game generally runs three to four weeks. Players have unique approaches as to how they prepare for the game, and their strategy for winning. A prime benefit is that during the game they are totally out of their daily grind, and essentially living in an action movie.

Khrushchev after 46 years
Recently, I wrote an article that discussed Khrushchev banging his shoe on the table at the UN. That outburst of emotion occurred in 1960. It is interesting to compare that reaction in the struggle of world powers to the recent ranting and raving from the leaders of Iran and Venezuela.
Today I discovered another article that looks at this comparison. (There must be many more). Take a look! Specifically, you won't want to miss some of the comments by our Democratic friends.

The Cigarette Card Conundrum
Over on BlogFeast, I posted an article about conundrums. Do you know what they are? I didn't think so. They are riddles, but more than that they are riddles where the answer generally contains a pun.
Can you dig that?
Well, it got an unusually low response over on BlogFeast so I thought maybe you would want to click on over there and read it for yourselves. I found them humorous, what do you think?

Internet Browsers tweaked FireFox, Browsezilla
As a user, do you have the right to privacy with respect to your surfing activity? Or is it just wonderfully appropriate that someone else can gather data about where you have been?
A company called Torpark has released a tweaked version of Firefox that makes Web browsing anonymous. IP addresses are a numeric identifier given to computers on the internet. Many web sites keep track of IP addresses. Lots of marketing applications for information on your surfing habits.
The tweaked version of Firefox causes the IP address of a computer to appear to change. Torpark says they want to expand privacy rights as new technologies are increasingly collecting online data.
This is a modified version of Portable Firefox which can be run off a USB memory stick on a computer. I don't know if this new version also does the USB trick.
The browser is free to download at torpark.nfshost.com. One drawback is that
it might be a bit slower than expected.
Maybe you want to give it a spin.
Another Free web browser is one you might want to avoid.
Browsezilla is another free web browser that bills itself as tool for privacy protection. It is actually alleged that it is a click-fraud engine for bad web sites.
Browsezilla claims to help users cover the tracks of where they have been. But it also secretly installs adware that boosts the page view counts on these bad web sites. This may be the first browser that downloads this type of click generating software. In addition the Browsezilla download page features an Adult links section.
Not recommended because of these two things. You will make your own best decision.

This 'n That - a new blog
Welcome to the countless thousands who are already rushing to see what this site is about. Enjoy your stay. I suppose we will need to get some content here.
No problem, I'll get right on that.
Did you know ...
In addition to this blogging effort (which is still a newborn), I am spending some time over at BlogFeast. My username there is djbtol and this link will take you there.
