Back in the saddle again...

-

As part of my 2020 resolutions (not really but typing anything like this in January feels like one), I've decided to start using my Blogger account again and start saying all the things I've been forgetting to quickly to post on Twitter or all the things that make me laugh to myself in the car.
Why not? I'm not popular enough on Twitter to get any sort of conversations going about the craziness I post. Facebook is DEAD (to me), and there so much crazy in the world that I might as well reopen my old blog and start saying something again.

So here we are "The Feed 2.0". New Year, New Goals, Same ol' mindgrapes.

However; with one small caveat this time around. I'm going to (try to) keep things a lighter. Sure, I'll still dig into the political and social morays of 2020, but I'm also going to start keeping track of some of the thousands of movies and old media in my library, which for lack of explanation has grown to over 3000 titles.
What a difference 14 years makes, right?
Over 3000 movie and TV titles in the library. This library (as I call it) started out (as most of my endeavors) a hobby. A way for me to have anything at my fingertips at any time.
Haven't you ever wanted to watch Deconstructing Harry at 3am on a rainy Tuesday morning?
Well, when you've got an ADD-addled brain like mine, THC in the refrigerator and a kick-ass case of insomnia, the thought crosses your mind on more than a couple occasions.

So I decided to create a computer system which holds all of it.
Movies (Domestic *US*, International, Silent, Animated, Exploitative... you name it, we've got it somewhere)
Game Shows
Television Shows (if you don't craze every episode of Ab Fab, maybe this isn't the place for you)
Documentaries (how many times have you seen Ken Burns' Jazz, was once enough? Not for me...)
You name it, the library has something in it for you.

Now, while the library is rather large (12TB at the moment), it's not going to get any smaller as I go on this journey, of consumption, I'm still going to be adding more titles and features as I can.

There are over 100 years of films and television out there. Most of it isn't worth putting my thoughts on the web about, but, I do believe there maybe something of value for someone, somewhere, doing something. And if not, thats cool too. The Feed has always been open and free (it's on Blogger duh) Consume or Ignore all you want. It's going to be a great year of goodies.

Peace

FOX News ... Still Unfunny

-
From My Wordpress Blog (yes, I have two of them) The Facist News Channel has a new show (if you want to call it that) called the The Half Hour News Hour (...yeah, I know). That is supposed to deliver a "Daily Show for Conservatives" slant on the days news stories. Here is my Review of Rupert Murdoch's latest snafu. The strangest thing about the Half Hour News Hour , the Fox News Channel’s first attempt at intentional satire, described by its creator Joel Surnow as “the Daily Show for conservatives,” is not the fact that it has been panned by what Fox calls “the liberal media”. And panned it certainly was. “Radiation sickness is funnier” raved Charlie Brooker in the Guardian. “The audience for this show is someone who doesn’t like comedy. It is stupendously not funny” chortled Lisa de Moraes on Washingtonpost.com. No, what’s unusual is that the right’s antidote to the Daily Show appears to have been made by people who’ve never actually watched the Daily Show. While

How to blow 145 Billion!

Sadly, I cannot take credit for such an amazing post. Found it on Digg, so I thought I would make it just a little bit more popular. (hey it could happen - The eternal optimist that I am, in any event give Death and Taxes : The Blog the requisite props, I'm just a pion in their world. ) President Bush’s budget request on Monday included a line item of $145.2 billion for the war in Iraq… er.. I mean the ‘Global War on Terror.’ Now this funding isn’t already included in the massive Department of Defense budget, nor is it part of some multi-year over arching funding program. It’s a straight lump sum of 145 billion dollars of your taxes to be used next year in an Iraq ‘whatever’ fund. But its 145 billion dollars. Surely a number like that may be difficult to get your head around or in perspective. Well that’s what I intend to do. Follow along as I show you a few other ways we could blow $145 billion of our own money. Well here is what are spending it on. The big pot o’ taxes en route

and Mitt Romney is still an inchorent ass

"Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" by Mitt Romney If General Motors , Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye. It won’t go overnight, but its demise will be virtually guaranteed. Without that bailout, Detroit will need to drastically restructure itself. With it, the automakers will stay the course — the suicidal course of declining market shares, insurmountable labor and retiree burdens, technology atrophy, product inferiority and never-ending job losses. Detroit needs a turnaround, not a check. I love cars, American cars. I was born in Detroit, the son of an auto chief executive. In 1954, my dad, George Romney, was tapped to run American Motors when its president suddenly died. The company itself was on life support — banks were threatening to deal it a death blow. The stock collapsed. I watched Dad work to turn the company around — and years later at business school, they were still t
