Walmart Responds To NYT Smears
Score one for the Internet. In the old days the world was divided into the privileged media and the rest of us. Even wealthy people, like Walmart for instance, could be pummeled with innuendo, half-truth and even blatant falsehood and their recourse was limited. DARPA changed all of that.
I wish every victim of media falsehood would fight back with truth the way Walmart has. Of course, the pseudo-sophisticates who treat the Gray Lady as daily gospel will miss the rebuttals but the rest of the world will enjoy the public exposure of habitual liars. Viva Walmart!

Why did the IRS use Sonasoft?
If the IRS uses Sonasoft products to backup their servers why wouldn't you choose them to protect your severs? http://www.sonasoft.com

Spending: The Forgotten Issue
My position is simple. Yes, we have to protect ourselves from Al Qedahs but our national debt is the absolute greatest threat to America.
The Tea Party has its roots in the public's concern for the national debt. Perhaps because it has been with us for so long, people are not alarmed by the warnings of insolvency. Maybe in a growing economy, we could carry a modest increase in the debt load. However, our economy is not vibrant and our debt increase is colossal.
I am not much of a Keynsian but most things for most people most of the time would be better if the profligacy had been used for "shovel-ready jobs." For $8 trillion---and that is $8 trillion in deficit alone, not $8 trillion of total spending--over five years we could have rebuilt every old bridge in this country (see Crumbling of America, a topic that will move to the front burner should a Republican seize the White House) we could have the world's best passenger rail system, we could put a colony on the moon, we could give every adult a college education, we could reinforce shaky state and municipal pension funds...$8 trillion is a lot of play money!
So where did all the moolah go? We can return to that later. The Obots won the battles and they won the war. They hit us with so many assaults on the Constitution, so many acts of harassment, ongoing corruption, health care policies that less than 40% of Americans endorse, scandals, lies, more scandals, more lies, on a backdrop of 176 rounds of golf, two-jet vacations, fundraiser after fundraiser and more celebrities than "The Tonight Show." The Obama Administration's greatest success (for them, not us) is deleting the issues of deficits, debt and graft--in a word, spending--from public discourse.
Will spending be an issue in 2014?

Predicted 4.5 billlion deaths caused by global warming 2 years past due
Remember back in 2012 when 4.5 billion people died due to global warming? That was scary for all you who missed. In 2007 the Canadian which describes itself as Canada's new socially progressive and cross-cultural national newspaper opined;
Runaway Global Warming promises to literally burn-up agricultural areas into dust worldwide by 2012, causing global famine, anarchy, diseases, and war on a global scale as military powers including the U.S., Russia, and China, fight for control of the Earth's remaining resources.
Over 4.5 billion people could die from Global Warming related causes by 2012, as planet Earth accelerates into a greed-driven horrific catastrophe.
Obama has lowest favorable rating among all living presidents
Which living president has the lowest poll rating? Barack Obama of course. This Gallup poll published June 20 shows Obama enjoys, if that's the proper word, the lowest approval rating of all living presidents. One must assume a sizable number of the sample has no memory of Jimmy Carter which is probably just as well.
