New members of the family
I've been working hard on new Mountain Singers songs and it was time the studio had some upgrades. These might be boring but they are much needed.
QSC RMX 850 amplifier replaces a very low end Alesis RA-100. The RA-100 will now go to the garage to power the CD Player.
Ever since we moved into our current house I have had a low hum in my system. I know that I should add a ground rod and tie it to the power panel but it is figgin cold outside. This little box should at least help me eliminate the hum from my computer.
Fake Acorn Pimp now a “Watergate” Protege
“I am a journalist,” and “The truth shall set me free.” - James O'Keefe III tweeted shortly after being arrested for planting bugs in Louisiana Democratic Sen Mary Landrieu's office.
This is the same guy who secretly recorded Acorn employees telling him how to set up a brothel.
Could the Republicans be reopening their "rat-fucking" program from the Nixon era.
Also, there is a local news moment in all of this. Joseph Basel, one of Mr. O'Keefe's co-defendents, went to college at UofM Morris where he started a conservative newsletter in reaction to what he thought was overwhelming liberal presence on campus.
Schwarzenegger wants to build jails in Mexico
So Arnold wants to build jails in Mexico to hold illegal immigrants who commit crimes in California.
Why not? It is a great place to start rebuilding the broken Californian society.
Another thing he could do is privatize the judicial system. Court buildings and employees cost California a hell of a lot of money. He could also bring in private security forces to replace state police. Why should crime cost citizens even a dime? Really when it comes down to it why should society have to get mixed up in crime and justice at all? We are the victims after all.
