Blog It Out Your Pie Hole

Where, oh where does the week go? I guess for Patrick Swayze one week is a gift. For the rest of us, a week is seven days in a row where everything happens except for the fun stuff that you want to do.

Working all day long doesn’t leave time to type in a post. Then, driving home I hear something that would be a GREAT idea for a post, and start thinking about all the points to make, all the research to do to prove my point, and then, by the time I finally get home and in front of the computer, I have some other work to do, and when it’s done, it’s time to go to bed.

That great idea that I had is gone, never to come back again, until the next day when the cycle repeats. Once in a while, I’ll remember some topic on which I want to write, and I’ll have enough time to find a fact or two. Where do I save it? Not on my Google Home Page, no sir-ee. I start a post and copy the URL into it. Then I get sidetracked, start reading my feeds, checking out eBay, reading Paid Emails and other stuff.

There is good news, however, and it has nothing to do with car insurance. The good news, my friends, is that during all my sidetracks and zig-zagging through the Internet, I have finally learned what the Internet is for. You may be as surprised as I think you might be, but when you really think about it, the Internet is really for one thing. No, it’s not for spreading information around through a decentralized system of servers. It’s not even for making money. It is for one thing, and one thing only.

48 of the United States’ 50 states just switched their clocks forward an hour for the beginning of Daylight Saving Time. Firstly, if you call it “Daylight Savings Time,” you need to blow it out your pie hole. It is a time of saving daylight. Benjamin Franklin, or Ben to his friends, suggested waking up earlier in the long summer hours in order to use the light from the sun instead of candles.

It wasn’t until 1905 when William Willett actually “invented” Daylight Saving Time, causing problems and complaints for early risers in perpetuity. But is Daylight Saving good? In the years since Ben’s 1784 satire, candle usage has dropped, in the same way that the federal excise tax on your long distance telephone bill has more than raised enough money for the Spanish-American War. So for the candle recyclers, business is good. For candle manufacturers, business is bad. For the workers dependent on people’s buying candles, they’ve probably lost some jobs, per capita, over the past 224 years, and they’re needing more money to feed their families. Business is bad for them.

For the sun, it is good. The sunshine that lights the Earth in the morning during the summertime can be used, and not wasted. Because the sun, by sending light that will not be wasted, will last longer, or be more ‘green.’

However, in the past 224 years, we have these wonderful inventions in most homes, called “durable goods.” They are products that are durable, they will last, not be consumed. Things like washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, air conditioners. When people are home earlier, using more afternoon sun, in the heat of summer, they are going to use their air conditioners more. Since they’re home earlier, they are going to crank up the washing machine earlier. Overall energy consumption will increase.

Since there is more sunlight, there is more driving to do, increasing the demand for gasoline. Except, of course, in Ed Begley Jr.’s house, where he will need more electricity for his car.

Health is always a concern. I remember reading an article about either police or fire stations in a city that had the workers in eight hour shifts, and every week or two, they would rotate. The shift that had been working a midnight to eight am had rotated to 4pm to midnight. Once the shift rotated the other way, sick time and other health related incidents decreased. Of course, I can’t find this now (because I don’t feel like trying to look it up), but I remember reading it. In fact, The government of Kazakhstan cited health complications due to clock shifts as a primary reason for abolishing DST in 2005.

As an exercise for the reader, I leave the rest of the Wikipedia article about Daylight Saving Time. I also ask if calling Daylight Saving Time is not as correct as calling it Standard Time, since, according to US law, we’re in Daylight Saving Time for eight months out of the year. We’re in Standard time for half as much time as we’re not in Standard Time. Seriously, who was the idiot who screwed that up?

There is a proposal afoot to abolish Daylight Saving Time, but since the site hasn’t been updated in over a year, it’s hard to take it seriously. On the other hand, there was a proposal to keep California permanently on Daylight Saving Time, but it appears that it didn’t pass something. Now that’s thinking. Since Daylight Saving Time is really the standard time, why not keep Daylight Saving Time as standard time.

By the way, if you have a Wordpress or Drupal site in the US, you need to go to the admin panel and change your time zone offset because most computer systems are too stupid to know when Daylight Saving Time happens, I guess.

Today is the date of the Iowa Caucuses. Through some secret elections and processes that baffles anyone outside of Iowa, and most people inside Iowa, they are still confusing. To be quite honest, the only people who really care about the outcome of the Iowa Caucuses are the presidential nominees and the news stations. Since Iowa only has seven Electoral Votes, having it be the first state with any sort of presidential nomination gives it some extra money.

Wikipedia claims that

An electoral college is a set of electors, who are empowered as a deliberative body to elect a candidate to a particular office. Often these electors represent a different organization or entity with each organization or entity by a particular number of electors or with votes weighted in a particular way. Many times, though, the electors are simply important persons whose wisdom, it is hoped, would provide a better choice than a larger body. The system can ignore the wishes of a general membership whose thinking may not be considered. When applied on a national scale, such as the election of a country’s leader, the popular vote can on occasion run counter to the electoral college’s vote, and for this reason there are some who feel that the system is a distortion of true democracy in a democratic society.

The entire United States Constitution was built around a system of Checks and Balances. Since “Many times, though, the electors are simply important persons whose wisdom,” it is obviously another Check and Balance built into the Constitution. People vote for someone. What if it’s the wrong person? The Electoral College checks the people. The House and Senate are Checks against the Electoral College. Even in spite of the people espousing their belief that the Electoral College is not needed, there are some who read between the lines of those who want to discard the Electoral College.

Most states have an “All or Nothing” system that gives all of the state’s Electoral Votes to one person from one party. The Iowa Caucuses are a method of whittling down a party’s nominees to offer the people just one person on election day. Unfortunately, since more and more states want the dollars that the media circus brings, they have been pushing their primary and caucus dates forward to create “Super Tuesdays” of media and political blitz. It stretches the Primary season so much that it begins as soon as Inauguration Day, and stretches three and a half years until the conventions in the summer before election day in November of every fourth year, and most voters are burned out.

The obvious solution to voter burnout is for the largest states to move their primaries back as far as possible. If California, Ohio, New York, Texas, Illinois, Florida, and Pennsylvania (all states with 20 or more Electoral College votes) moved their primaries back to the earliest weekend they could before the parties’ conventions, some of the other states with three Electoral College votes would jump on that “Mega Tuesday” to add clout to their states.

I can see that this is starting to drag me into a tar pit of exponiferation, so I must stop here. Remind me in a couple days to keep writing about this so I can get more elaborated and insightful comments. In the mean time, most people who are not politicos or in the media who really really give a rat’s ass about what happens in Iowa today should probably BLOW IT OUT YOUR PIE HOLE(S)!

I have been wondering for some time why there are so many communists in America. Just look at Hollywood and the Democratic Party. Tons of communists trying to take money and belongings from those who earn it and buy it, and distribute it to those who don’t have any.

In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of the individual to the division of labor, and therewith also the antithesis between mental and physical labor, has vanished; after labor has become not only a means of life but life’s prime want; after the productive forces have also increased with the all-around development of the individual, and all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly — only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!

We make fun of the hippies, here, and for good reason. Namely, they deserve it. Today, we know why: Scientists Find that Low Self-Esteem and Materialism Goes Hand in Hand. These hippies are followers of dialectical materialism. Dialectical what? Dialectical materialism.

Obviously, the hippies are running around with low self esteem, which makes them materialistic. Then, since they’re hippies, they become envious of the things that people have earned and want people to give them a hand out, not a hand up (because of the low self esteem), and the cycle repeats. They get sucked into the socialist environment that the commies have. Everyone is equally poor, except the leaders of the country, and everyone is taken care of, regardless of their ability. People who have the resources and knowledge to succeed are at the same socio-economic level as those who need to be taken care of, which provides no incentive for success.

Ah, but those who do succeed are taxed heavily, they’re penalized for succeeding. As King Begonia said, “He who has nothing shall have less, and all that he has shall be taken from him.”

Now, if only we could figure out why these socialist hippies are so blinded by their self esteem that they cannot have a civil conversation or debate about philosophical differences, and they only have “tolerance” for opposing viewpoints, as long as it is theirs, or at least not a conservative ideal.

My son has started school, and it was his birthday yesterday. We’re having a party today for that big “05.” So anyway, he came home with a pledge form the other day for the school. With all the tax-payer dollars that are going to the schools, apparently they don’t have enough money for music, cheer and other programs. So the school has asked for donations, and I’m putting it out for the world. All profits from the ads on this site and all donations between now and October 26, 2007 will go to the school. The school needs all donation money on the 26th, so that’s why that date for cut off.

In the spirit of donation for school, all donations through this posting will go to the school regardless of when they come in. So if you are able to, and wish to, please donate to the school.

So I had this item on eBay. Didn’t sell, so I ran the listing again. Still didn’t sell. Make me an offer and it could be yours. It’s unused. It’s out of the box. Some piehole purchased the wrong adapter. I posted it for $14.99 with shipping costs (USPS) estimated at $6.34. It will be in the same box that the vendor shipped to me, in the same packing materials. I’ll actually throw some more packing in there, as the piece of bubble wrap fell into the hands of a 4-year old. First person to use the contact form below with an acceptable offer gets it.

An unused AC Power adapter for your Dymo LabelMANAGER 100, 200, 300, LabelPOINT 200, 300, DYMO 1000, 1000 Plus, 2000, 3500, 4000, 4500, or 5500.This came direct, sealed in the box new from a vendor. We opened it, and found that someone ordered the wrong adapter. This has not been used. Except for the open box, this is exactly the way it arrived, including the box and packing materials in which it came from the vendor. If you get this direct from Dymo.com, you will pay $24.95, plus $6.75 or more shipping and tax. I opened the box, you save $10. Use this, save battery money. Once this sells, I can get the correct adapter for my Dymo. It’s a WIN-WIN for both of us. Buy it now.

As I cannot test it, this item is sold AS IS.

40077 Adapter

A while ago, I signed up for Inbox Dollars. They send an email to me, and with two clicks, I earn about $0.03. Exciting, but those pennies add up. They also have some other money earning opportunities, with surveys and a portion back on their affilliate marketing center. The affilliate marketing center is basically the same as “Complete any three of these offers from each of these three pages and we’ll send you a [insert fancy prize here]” that you see all around the web but no matter how many of the offers you complete you never get the fancy prize because of “system errors” and “anomolies regarding your IP address” and other crap like that, except that Inbox Dollars actually gives you what they say they will.

In only a couple months, I’m already half-way to a cash payout. With a minimum payout value a third that of Adsense, and for those of us without millions of webpages, it’s faster to earn a couple of bucks.

With a $5 sign up bonus, and cash for each survey completed, I highly recommend this program.

Way, way, back in late 1988/early 1989, I saw Stripes. In March 1989 I decided that I needed a haircut, so I joined the Army Reserve. Having just seen Stripes, I figured I’d get a free haircut during entry into Basic Training. It actually cost me $4.25. Anyway I went to Basic Training and got buffed. As a side note, from the time I was in 6th grade to the time I entered Basic Training, I was within 5 pounds of 150 pounds. I came out super muscled out at 175.

Anyway, I journeyed off to Fort Gordon the next summer to learn to be a telephone lineman. First set of training is learning to climb a telephone pole. I got the “climb up” part perfected, but the “climb down” I had a little trouble with. I fell off the pole, from the top. The medical guys in the little M*A*S*H* jeep were laughing as I hobbled over to them for removal of an inch long splinter. They were digging and pulling and digging and pulling, and finally managed to extricate the timber from my leg. There was another plank embedded in my shin right next to that one, and when they asked if there was anything else they could do, I declined. The hunk of wood finally came out of my leg when we were at the Augusta Mall after having seen Die Hard 2, but I digress. Actually this whole story is a digression, but again, I digress.

Anyway, after the medical procedure, which by the way was without the benefit of anesthesia, the sergeant, who had more stripes on his arm than I did, and he said, “Get up there and do it again.” So I did. This time, the fall was a bit more serious. The hospital diagnosed it as “a bad sprain.” I guess that it’s opposed to a “good sprain.” Anyway, the next day my ankle swelled up and it looked like James Caan’s legs in Misery, so I went back to the Hospital.

The Army logic was “If we had the X-Ray moved over just a little bit, we would have seen the fracture.” My talus was broken. By that time, my ankle had swelled up so much, that they couldn’t put a cast on it, because my ankle, in theory, would shrink and the cast would fall off, and my ankle wouldn’t set correctly. Wouldn’t you know it, even with the physical therapy, my ankle never made it back to 100%. It aches when the weather changes, and aches when I have a lot of walking to do.

Why am I telling this story? The clutch went out on the car. It’s gone. Non existent. Kaput. I’ve been taking the train to work each day. It’s a 17 minute walk to the train, and an 18 minute walk to the grind. My ankle is killing me, I we can’t afford a new clutch. Can’t afford a new car, either.

In related news, I have signed up for a bunch of affilliate links, so stay tuned for the new Pie Hole Shopping Mall and Referral Center, coming soon! Maybe I can do something with all these domains that I have just lying around, with plans and plans that I don’t seem to have time for. Arrgh, it’s tough in the life of blowing it out your pie hole.
