Enron vs. Alito

Tomorrow (Jan 30th) Judge Alito will have his final confirmation vote, at the same time the Enron trial begins.

Which story will get the most air time? Which do you think Fox News will discuss endlessly? Which story do you think deserves more coverage?

I think the Enron trial deserves the most coverage, but will probably receive the least. The Enron story is one everyone should know because it shows how “good people” can become corrupted by money and power. These people will say and do anything to keep you from the truth and hurt thousands of people in the process. Sound familiar? (See the movie- Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room)

To me the Alito story is not big news as everyone already knows the Democrats can’t stop his confirmation, so it’s basically a done deal. However, I do think people should be made aware of what kind of judge Alito will be and where he stands on the issues, but that sort of thing is never discussed on the news channels anyway. It’s going to be 24 hour Democrat bashing.

Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room

Based on the book of the same name by Peter Elkin, director Alex Gibney's documentary takes a behind-the-scenes look at the powerful energy company whose downfall forever changed the landscape of the business world. With a blend of fascinating footage, fast-paced interviews and a wealth of information, this film is a serious lesson in the potential trappings of dishonesty and unethical behavior dogging corporate America today. – Netflix Synopsis

http://www.netflix.com/MovieDisplay?movieid=70024087&trkid=90529

Everyone needs to watch this movie. It shows how this company lied endlessly about what they were doing and destroyed and/or attacked those that asked questions or discovered the truth. Sound familiar?

This is required viewing! I want a 2 page report by next Monday!

BTW, the trial is supposed to start at the end of January. I wonder if Fox News will cover it as extensively as they did the Jackson and Martha Stewart trials. Yeah right.

Al Gore's NSA speech

Imagine what America would be like today if Al Gore had won in 2000. The Al Gore Show would have been pretty funny. Anyway, I plead with you to watch this video and/or read the transcript of his speech. It is a truly passionate speech about what is going on in America today. You probably haven’t heard much about this speech since all 3 cable networks ignored it and covered a story about “An overturned tanker truck on a New York highway." instead (however, fox news later bashed Gore's remarks). And they say the media is run by the left wing. HA!

Guess whose back!

Once again, when Bush is in need, Osama miraculously provides. I’ve been telling my friends for months, that no matter what trouble Bush gets himself into, after the next terrorist attack (even something small as a suicide bomber) all will be forgotten and forgiven. He has an ace up his sleeve, and he knows it.

The Osama speech

Music Composer Needed

Ebolaworld needs someone who can produce original music/theme songs for future cartoons. The sound should be more instrumental and less like a midi file. If you are interested, please contact me at sam@ebolaworld.com . Please include a little info about yourself, and some examples of your work.

Thanks,

Bush Eavesdropping

What do you guys think about Bush authorizing domestic eavesdropping without court approval? Was it a “power grab” or a necessity to prevent terrorism?

Bush says eavesdropping “helps save lives”

Powell says spying OK, but Bush should’ve got court approval first

Gore calls for special counsel to investigate

My thoughts: Would it have really been that hard for him to get court approval? It looks like he doesn't believe the law applies to him and is seeing what he can get away with. I promise you had this been Clinton, he would have been impeached by now; terrorism or not.

My Hopes: The Democrats take over everything in 06 and 08 and then we'll see what Republicans really think about an all-powerful President! BWHAHAHA! Oh well, I can dream.

Happy Martin Luther King day! I honestly dont understand why we celebrate King and Rosa Parks. If they were to break the law in this manner today, they would be trashed by the media and probably executed. They sure as hell wouldn't be given a holiday. A would like to add, that this is not a put-down of their accomplishments, but a question of why we celebrate what they did when dissent and questioning authority is still frowned upon today. Martin Luther King day shouldn’t just be a celebration of the man, but a reminder that everyone in this country deserves equal rights.

Enough of my rambling.
