Jon Lovitz goes off on Obama, calls him a F'n A'hole

Hilarious video of Lovitz going off on Obama. (warning: offensive language)






I don't necessarily agree with Lovitz comments, as I believe the real issue facing society today is corruption. There are good rich people and there are bad rich people. There are good politicians and there are corrupt politicians. There are good companies and bad companies.

So yes, class inequality is a problem, but you can't generalize that all rich people are the problem or that all poor people are the problem.

The real problem is that the US is teetering on becoming a fascist state or a banana republic (some would say it already is) where a segment of government officials and big corporations (mostly the banks in this case) are destroying the entire system that everyone else is living in.

The whole rich versus poor debate, which Obama is fuelling as much as he can, is a total red herring. The real issue is corruption.

While Lovitz is not going to sink Obama (he's not that popular after all), this is the kind of thing Obama failed to consider in his messaging strategy in promoting rich versus poor. He failed to recognize that not everyone is down with the 'let's start fighting indiscriminately amongst ourselves' strategy.

Now, having said that, it would have been great if Obama had fuelled a 'Stop Corruption' campaign, but if he did that then half the companies that give him millions of dollars to get re-elected would bail on him. So I guess that wasn't an option (Jon Corzine is thankful for that, steals $1.2B from customers and walks around a free man today).

C'est la vie I guess.

A Look Back on 2017 / A Look Forward to 2018

Hard to believe it's been two years (and six books) since I started publishing. Thought I'd take a moment to look back on the journey, some of the highlights and what's in store for the future. Eyes Wide Open I had no idea what this publishing path would be like - I went in blind with nothing more than an interest in telling a story. It turned out to be way harder than I could have imagined. You'd think writing a book wouldn't be that difficult, but it is. It's not so much the book that readers see that's hard to produce, it's the ideas and writing that get left on the cutting room floor. But beyond the actual stories, learning Photoshop to do my own covers, understanding how to market my books, learning how to create print versions, and a dozen other things really opened my eyes to how much effort is required to get a book to market. Along the way I’ve had my moments where I questioned my sanity to put myself through the process. But...

Pew Research says Press Credibility In Decline

According to Pew Research negative opinions about the press are at an all time high. Definitely check out the source article because they have a ton of infographics that are worth looking at. The main graph related to the research is the one below: As you can see, the public no longer views the media as unbiased or fully accurate. There are dozens of variables that play in to this phenomena, but I think the biggest one is that the public has traditionally viewed the media as doing the people's work. Which is to say, they are kind of like the FBI, but they work for the people not the government. They are suppose to root out what is going on and inform the people so that society can hold politicians and corporations accountable (note the reoccuring theme of accountability that I talk about often in this blog, because it's a causal variable behind much of the issues in the world today). Over the past 15 or so years, the press has lost it's credibility with the p...
