Why is Bristol Paling Getting a Reality Show?

What has Bristol Palin done to deserve her own reality show? Nothing, absolutely nothing! It seems that the only thing the Palin women know how to do is to sell themselves and they are doing a damn good job of it, and bravo to us, America for buying their bullshit. As of 8:45 PM on Monday May 09, 2011, Google News showed there were 353 news stories regarding Bristol Palin getting her own reality show. I hope and really, really hope that those articles are as critical as this one. Else the writers would be rounded up with the idiotic group of TV studio executives that think her life and her dirty laundry is worth airing on television. And I would not stop at blasting the TV executives; I would extend my criticism to the corporate brand name marketers that would place their 30, 60 seconds commercials on that reality show. When and where have we lost our standards? Oh, by the way, a few weeks ago it was reported that she made over 250K on her teenage pregnancy work last year. For what? What would she tell teenagers, "Don't have sex,” and in whispers she would add “But seriously you should because you can become like me, I am a celebrity.”

What has she experienced other than getting impregnated by another teenager? (Readers, trust me, what I was going to write was far vulgar, but I respect my friends.) Does she have a one of a kind of voice and have pressed a superb album? Was she a child prodigy in science or mathematics that has earned a PhD at by age 20? Was she a spelling champion or a violinist that was unwillingly thrust into fame? Even beauty pageant participants are far, far superior in intellect and more talented.

The irony of the matter is that these are the kind of entertainment that we are demanding these days, but Jerry Springer has already given us more of that than we care to admit. Hell, she has a good role model; her sponge-brained mother became a governor, then by stroke of luck, (and thanks a lot Senator McCain) was launched to national spotlight to play her stupidity to America, to the tune of 25 million dollars in annual intake. You know, again the irony. That is what average America wants, and the Palins are playing us and ROTFL all the way to the bank. So who is stupid? We are, the media for giving them an audience, tea party members (sorry, you’re not worth capitalization) for paying Palin the senior $100k per appearance to listen to her hate rousing speeches. Hey, but average is what we want, and that’s exactly what we’ll get.

7 Ways to Be Bestseller Writer

Image
It seems that to write a bestseller these days one has to be one of the staple writers already earned their stripes on the New York Times. LA Times or USA bestseller's list. Else one has to be a politician of some reputation or spouse of such a politician to make a dent in the publishing industry. The news that Amazon eBooks outsold paper books during Christmas 2009 isn't encouraging! Getting one's name in hardbound will keep getting tougher and tougher. People like us that values holding a good book to lull us to sleep, at end of tough days, with eyes glued to the typeset pages would, in soon enough time, look nostalgically at these days. That brings the question: are there any hopes for up and coming writers, aspirants and dreamers? I am though, especially partial to the latter group, of which I am one. If you have procrastinated penning your story (rather, typing your story), the story that will make you heard, time may be running out for you. Fact is that there are so m

NSA PRISM Data Collection Program - A Business Analyst View

As a Business Analyst in software implementations, I had the privilege of working at a freight shipping company -- you can insert name of one of the top 3 operators and you'd be right because they all follow the same government regulations pertaining to moving of goods into and out of the country. As far as the government is concerned the freight operators can use whatever software system to process shipments but they must report shipment details to government agencies. In this example, the US Customs under the umbrella of the department of Homeland Security and Border Control. Shipping operators report all the information regarding the shipments to the US Custom and for certain shipments that meet certain criteria the freight operators do even more. The NSA collection of phone records and other electronic communication between parties -- code named PRISM data-collection program -- under the  Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) probably has similar data requirem

Obama for President

I have heard that certain email is going around by about Barack Obama’s background. This email is obviously being circulated by through the grass root, and the way grass root movements spread information, soon the content will take up a life of its own and derail the promising presidential candidacy of Barack Obama. A friend of my wife’s sent this email to her a couple of weeks ago, and I was disappointed but neglected to take it seriously and dismissed it with a wave of my hand that only ignorant people will believe the content of the email. It certainly did not start then; it has been going around since about middle of 2007 as Obama’s candidacy took more serious tone. But it dawned on me that it was these same ignorant people that elected President Bush to a second term in office! The email focused on Obama’s allegedly Muslim background and upbringing and how we cannot allow a Moslem to lead the great country. This email that I got was from someone that I know, and am certain it was
