This is Water - by David Foster Wallace and The Glossary

noreply@blogger.com (David La) — Thu, 09 May 2013 02:55:00 +0000

A terrific commencement speech from David Foster Wallace to the graduating class of 2005 at Kenyon College with visuals by The Glossary.

THIS IS WATER - By David Foster Wallace from The Glossary on Vimeo.

From The Glossary:
In 2005, author David Foster Wallace was asked to give the commencement address to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon College. However, the resulting speech didn't become widely known until 3 years later, after his tragic death. It is, without a doubt, some of the best life advice we've ever come across, and perhaps the most simple and elegant explanation of the real value of education.

The Glossary made this video, built around an abridged version of the original audio recording, with the hopes that the core message of the speech could reach a wider audience who might not have otherwise been interested.

Read the full speech here.

Check out other great films and visuals from The Glossary.

Campaign Reform Now - Congressman Pitches Campaign Donor's Product By Insulting 4-Star General

noreply@blogger.com (David La) — Wed, 01 May 2013 15:27:00 +0000

Another reason why we need to really reform campaign fundraising and lobbying....

In an effort to draw attention to himself to score political points and satisfy donors and lobbyists, junior Congressman Duncan Hunter Jr. has repeatedly accused the Army of failing to provide Soldiers with the latest intelligence processing technology. He's obviously shilling for the company he references, Palantir.

Rather than compete for work like all other commercial product providers, Palantir spends nearly $600,000 per year lobbying Congress to force the Army to buy their product.

Here's Palantir's chief lobbyist, Terry Paul campaigning for Junior. Paul is a close Hunter family friend and has donated thousands to Hunter's campaigns.

From General Odierno's response, it's pretty clear that he has had enough of the Congressman's nonsense. See what Mr. Hunter doesn't want you to know about his connections to the Palantir lobby.

Hey Miss USA! - Comedian Max Rice Pranks Gretchen Carlson

noreply@blogger.com (David La) — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 07:15:00 +0000

Wow! The normal interviews on Fox & Friends are pretty hilarious as they stand, but this interview is a huge fail for the stooges on the show. Gretchen's face is the best. Why would they check on their guests when they don't research anything they spew out on the airwaves in the first place?

Guess the lack of accuracy just bit them in the ass. Comedian Max Rice gives them a run for their money in their effort to dig up Obama defectors with no luck.

Mitt Romney: "F**k The Poor, Let's Start A War!" Speech At GOP Fundraiser

noreply@blogger.com (David La) — Tue, 18 Sep 2012 23:49:00 +0000

Mother Jones has released the full 46-minute speech by Mitt Romney at his $50,000 per plate fundraiser for his already more than wealthy campaign held at the estate of hedge fund manager Mark Leder in Boca Raton — Mark Leder is known for his wild sex parties.

This is the same dinner where Romney generalizes about Obama's voting base and a huge percentage of the country. He claims 47% of the voting public are "people who don't pay taxes" and "feel entitled to government handouts" and then questions their level of "personal responsibility". Most of this 47% of the voting public who support Obama are veterans, seniors, women, middle-class, working poor who sometimes work two or three jobs — or are people who were laid off in the turmoil of 2008 after 7 years of failed Bush policies and they have been taking work when they can and surviving.

Part One

Part Two

That comment is the beginning of the latest argument in the GOP campaign of a country of "makers" and "takers." Everyone should read Michael Grunwald's article in Monday's Time Magazine on exactly how we are all subsidized everyday by the government for what most would consider daily necessities. We are all makers and takers.

Romney states that "American Strength, American Resolve" is all that is need to solve any and every foreign policy problem. Doesn't Mitt "Small Government" Romney realize that the military and defense is almost 60% of the budget currently and making that bigger means more government and more of our revenue going down an endless federal moneypit like Homeland Security or The Pentagon?

Also, 'American Resolve' is the buzzword for the kind of resolve placed on the backs of the mostly middle-class to poor enlistees. There is a sprinkling of wealthier cadets who mostly become officers in the armed forces and their service is equally valid while in combat posts. Seems like Mitt is ever so eager to send our fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters in to harms way on a dime. Seems a little to eager for a guy who ditched the draft in Vietnam and never served in the military. Romney ditched the draft to go to Paris on a Mormon mission (most of my Mormon friends rode their bikes through our neighborhoods and local neighboring communities for their mission). Romney's five sons and his Vice-presidential candidate have never served even when they were all in the age range to serve in the 1990 Iraq War & the younger ones in the 2000 Iraq/Afghan Wars. Even though he took 5 student deferments until being ousted from selective service for asthma, the only candidate on either ticket who has a son who actually served in combat is Joe Biden's son. In case you want to say it, Obama didn't serve either, but he didn't dodge the draft since that wasn't in place in 1980 when he signed up for selective service.

One of the wait staff must have placed the camera there. It looks like it is on a service table or area. Listen and decide for yourself with whom you think he stands.
