Facebook, Twitter users beware: Crooks are a mouse click away

Interesting article on CNN "Tech" section. I recommend ya'll reading it. All I can say on this note is be careful. Don't give up information. One part of the article speaks of being directed to a fake website that uses phishing tactics. Whenever you link to another site, pay attention to the URL address and make sure it's legitimate before you go further. People are seriously getting ripped off and we need to take action to stop it. The FBI website, www.fbi.gov, has a way of reporting it. People, I highly recommend that you report it if you feel that you've been screwed. Also, you need to warn your friends and followers on twitter and facebook if you think you've been taken.

Ya'll take care... We'll talk soon..

Ever Read the Comments on CNN?

I like to look at the CNN website "Political Ticker" from time to time. Not that much for the stories, but for what people say in their words of wisdom. It's really interesting most of the time. I definitely would not put it on the Republican "must read" list, but interesting to say the least.

I've come to a couple of conclusions on what people have to say on there. One is that everything is Bush's fault. Two, if it's not, it should be.

Sometimes all you can do is laugh. One of the stories I noticed tonight was "Romney hammers Obama on Iran negotiations." In a nutshell, Mitt Romney wants President Obama to stop talks with Iran. He made a statement that Iran is the biggest threat since the fall of the Soviet Union and before that, Nazi Germany. Now, here's the fun part. This is what people had to say:

"Funny he had no issues with Bush and Iraq. Of course politics has nothing to do with it."
[Here we go with Bush]

"Yea.... This is an example of why Obama might have won the Noble(sic) Peace Prize!
Just sayin(sic)"
[What did Obama win the Nobel Peace Prize for anyway?]

"WAR IS NOT PRO-LIFE ya HYPOCRIT(sic)
Romney is a CHRISTIAN RIGHT-WING TERRORIST"
[That one lost me]

Last, but not least.....

"Geez i am sick of comparing every tin pot dicator(sic) to Nazi Geramy(sic).
This is the pproach(sic) that got us a useless war in Iran. China and the Solviets(sic) will oppose any milarty(sic) option and in case this bozo does not know it China has a practical veto on such a decision.
Does he want a third front we need to fight on.
So what is your plan Romney? Uh don't have one? Uh start another war? oh, do nothing?
Just another just say no GOPer"
[We're at war with Iran? Also, I took ten points off for spelling!]

The stuff you read is just from one story. If you want a dose of "daily intelligence", then read the "Political Ticker" at CNN and get the words of wisdom.

Oh yeah, I read what some of you said about Meghan McCain when CNN felt the political newsworthiness of talking about her picture on twitter. To say the least, most of it was in bad taste and meant nothing more than to insult, embarrass, humiliate, and ... damn, I wish I'd seen the picture. Anyhow, the way I see it. People that live in grass houses shouldn't store thrones. Or words to that effect.

Have a wonderful night and we'll talk later.....

We Are Just Getting Started...

Just wanted to take a moment to welcome you to my new blog. I'll be talking about a mirade of different subjects in time and welcome your comments. I want this blog to, not only express my views, but those of the readers. I welcome your point of view and look forward to reading the feedback that you can provide.

I know that from time to time our points of view may not agree. That's what this place is all about. We can discuss those differences and hopefully come to something mutual.

Well, I guess that's it for now. I'm currently in Australia and leave for home tomorrow morning. I'll give you a rundown of the trip and if you're planning on coming to Melbourne or Brisbane in the near future I may be able to give you some insight into what to expect. Take care and we'll talk soon.
