How the Internet Was Started..............
In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot. And Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she was often called Amazon Dot Com.
And she said unto Abraham, her husband, "Why dost thou travel so far from town to town with thy goods when thou canst trade without ever leaving thy tent?
And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel load, but simply said, "How, dear?"
And Dot replied, "I will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to send messages saying what you have for sale, and they will reply telling you who hath the best price. And the sale can be made on the drums and delivery made by Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)."
Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums. And the drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had at the top price, without ever having to move from his tent. To prevent neighboring countries from overhearing what the drums were saying, Dot devised a system that only she and the drummers knew. It was known as Must Send Drum Over Sound (MSDOS), and she also developed a language to transmit ideas and pictures - Hebrew To The People (HTTP).
And the young men did take to Dot Com's trading as doth the greedy horsefly take to camel dung. They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Sybarites, or NERDS.
And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the deafening sound of drums that no one noticed that the real riches were going to that enterprising drum dealer, Brother William of Gates, who bought off every drum maker in the land. And indeed did insist on drums to be made that would work only with Brother Gates' drum heads and drumsticks.
And Dot did say, "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by others." And Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel, or eBay as it came to be known. He said, "We need a name that reflects what we are."
And Dot replied, "Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators." "YAHOO," said Abraham. And because it was Dot's idea, they named it YAHOO Dot Com.
Abraham's cousin, Joshua, being the young Gregarious Energetic Educated Kid (GEEK) that he was, soon started using Dot's drums to locate things around the countryside. It soon became known as God's Own Official Guide to Locating Everything (GOOGLE).
That is how it all began. And that's the truth

Spout................from Brian
I do get a bit prolific when I have an agenda, I do so despise when my God Given rights are subjugated. I do get a bit miffed when others bow down to tyranny. I will not, I know my rights I know my constitution, I know when I am being forced, thing is,, every day we are forced to bow down to the BETTERS we elected,, that is completely opposite of what our founders envisioned. WE THE PEOPLE,, are the highest law of the land. That is how it was written LOL so shall it be,\. And yet,, ok for example. in 1950 if a man wanted to build a chicken coup on his property he built it,, he then had the responsibility to maintain or he lost chickens,,
Go ahead,, try to build one now,, we are regulated to death,, can you imagine if a government official went to the 1950 farmer and spouted.. I for one think the bastard would be running for his life,, but now,, we bow down pay a fee to those that know better and ,,,and,, by the time we finally have what we wanted,, it now costs more paying the regulation fee than it would have just going to a store..
Free Men? Since when? Government slithered into every aspect of our lives slowly insidiously and without a word said,, Our Masters now dictate how we,, WE A so called Free people live.

For a Moment It Felt Like the USA Again..............by Dan Friedman
Yesterday, George W. Bush made an appearance at the Barack H. Obama White House for the unveiling of the former president’s official portrait, and the contrast between the two men was startling. On one hand, there was taut, stilted cypher, Mr. Obama, and on the other, the open, relaxed persona of Dubya. Frankly, it wasn’t enough for me to wish Bush was still our leader, but it was more than enough to get behind Romney and send Barack Obama back to Chicago first chance we get.
Have a look at a video of the event, and see how Bush stole the show.

Those lovable animated bears explain what QE3, no jobs and inflation means to you! (Video)...from Mike Haltman at TPC
Fantastic animated video with the bears that explains quantitative easing in language anyone can understand!.
Why is it important?
Because in light of the horrendous U.S. jobs report today the expectation will be that the solution to the problem is for Bernanke to embark on QE3 despite the fact that QE1 and QE2 have obviously not worked!
Read the story and watch the animated bears at The Political Commentator here.
