Twitter User Gets Sued

Hmm, this is a sticky situation. A guy works at a company and sets up a Twitter account promoting the company.

Then he leaves the company, but changes the name of the Twitter account. All the followers remain. So the question is; If the company considered the account their property, why did they let him leave with it? If they were smart, they would have kept the account.

I hope the judge has no clue about Twitter. The trial will have his/her head spinning. What an education.

Japan's 2012 Budget

The scary parts in this is how similar our debt is increasing. The big difference is expenditure on "Defense". Japan spends a bit over 5%. The US spends %50 of the overall budget. We spend almost the same incurring debt, as we do on "Defense".

The GOP Attacks The Tea Party

Don't be fooled, the (very old) GOP is drowning out the Tea Party, just like both parties will kill any attempt to cut their power. Together the GOP and Democrats are united, in keeping the US in debt (they actually think it will be forgiven) and are attempting to control the world.

I am just glad Jon said he "fought the good fight". Idiot, he has no authority left, go home and have a good holiday...ass.

Bank Of America Settles

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-settlement-announced-over-countrywide-loans-20111221,0,2935984.story
So lets see, BOA oversees/encourages people to buy more house than they can afford (with the help of the National Association of Realtors) and they get hit with a $335 Million settlement???

That equals $1675 for each of the 200K people, who are probably now homeless and have no mailing address, because the bank took the homes back.

Good deal! A win for BOA.

The Iraq War Ends

I guess I should "chime in" on this. Glad it's over. Glad we are out.

Why Dick Cheney, Tony Blaire and George Bush are not in the Hague over it, is beyond me. we lost almost 5000 Americans and another 2000 "coalition" fighters (lambs).

Iraq lost about 100,000 people, and we are leaving the survivors with the most corrupt "Government" on the planet.  That is only because Bush/Cheney are gone. 

John McCain is pissed because his DOD Contractor buddies can't keep charging the US to provide equipment for the "war".  Go die (now) you (John) old assed fucking hypocrite..throwing your "kids and grandkids" under the financial bus for decades.

Congress Pigs It Up

This is the one time of year we can hear some in Congress actually berate what they do.  And do so well.  The Omnibus bill passed in the House today (and in the Senate tomorrow) continues our debt spiral. 

Congress did nothing to address the disparity in America, and the rise of the wealthy.  If I hear another talking head bitch about 50% of Americans paying no taxes, I will punch them in the head.  If you look at the numbers, 50% of Americans are considered poor or in poverty completely.

2011 Defense Authorization, HR 1540

http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-112hr1540pp/pdf/BILLS-112hr1540pp.pdf 

• It's a win for GE, Section 805 will authorize a second jet engine for the F-35, $44BN wasted.
• Section 1031 affirms use of military force http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-107publ40, which was signed in 2001. They dick with the language, which apparently allows Americans to be detained indefinitely, but the word "disappear", does not appear in the legislation...
• Section 1047 reduces the number of deployed nukes below the number in that treaty with Russia, that the Republicans hated so bad.
• Section 1061 repeals a whole lot of reporting requirements to Congress (including Aircraft/Ship inventory, high deployment numbers, public military munitions sales (WTF?), Military Animal accountability and B-2 Bomber assessment).
• In general, it lets the Military operate with much less oversight and accountability.
