We’ve written blogs on the US and other governments spying on the own citizens before but we thought we’d revisit it today. There’s an article on the internet about Government requests for more information from Google about search requests. They say they’ve tripled since the first reports were leaked by Edward Snowdon. Now the question we have if all these thousands of requests by the Government, and we’re only using the US Government here, are terrorist related then America is screwed. Because if you have that many people talking about doing bad thing s to the country there’s not much you can do to stop them. Now we all know that the NSA isn’t just looking at the violent sociopaths who wander the internet looking for new poisons or ways to blow up big buildings. They’re also checking you sexual interests and you political leanings. It’s bad enough that Google Yahoo and the rest track you r information so they can dump adds in your Email now you have to worry that some religious nut wearing suit will be checking up on you to see if you went to church or are cheating on your wife. The term privacy, you know that thing where when you close the door to your house you can say shit piss fuck and you don’t have to worry or you can have kinky sex with your wife and it’s nobody’s business unless you want it to be. Well it apparently doesn’t exist anymore. They listen to your phone calls they watch what you do on the internet you have privacy anymore. Maybe the smart one are the one who throw all there electronics in the garbage and go live in a cabin in the woods. I don’t know what can be done to change the Big Brother attitude of Government today but I do know if something isn’t done soon I won’t be able to write thing s like this.

Guess what today is no 700 and that’s a lot of BS to write. Can you believe that, 700 posts I know we’re slowing down and skipping some days but you know we’re not as young as we used to be? Besides Jeff has that eye problem that he’s still trying to get used to that’s why I call him one eye. We’ve but a lot of stuff up here some good some funny some dumb and some not so well. But all we can hope for is that the few people that actually read this like what we do and will keep reading. We know that when we write about current events or our own opinions we can be boring or just antagonistic to some of our readers. We do try to make them happy at and entertaining but sometimes the real stuff just sucks and there’s nothing we can do about it. The holidays are coming and since they really don’t celebrate Thanks Giving down here they’re all ready into Christmas mood. We’ll have some stuff about that later on. We just wanted to take today to say thank you to our readers and hope that you continue to support us and maybe tell your friends to check us out once and awhile.

Thought I’d do a little post about music as I listen to Bruce Springsteen playing jungle land. People Jeff’s age remember the when Alan Freed first said those magical words when in traducing a Bill Haley song. Those word were Rock and Roll and boy did everyone’s parents hate those words just like their parents hated Jazz and today’s parents hate Hip Hop and Electric Dance Music. Jeff grew up with Perry Como, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin and others of the big band era and still enjoys the music. But once Rock and Roll came around he became a fan and he really loves the Blues. IF he has only one complaint about today’s music it’s the same one he had with Disco music and that is it lacks originality it basically just remake of old music. The really good singer song writers that are out there have trouble getting their music heard except by a few loyal fans. It seems today it’s not so much about the music as it is about the performance. Now don’t get us wrong we thing Lady Gaga, and Madonna are very smart and talented people. The same cannot be said for Britney Spears and Justin Bieber. The jury is still out on a few like, Miley Cyrus and Kate Perry and others. We think maybe the digital age isn’t so good for music and we know there are a lot of people out there that will say, Jeff your old get over it a, and maybe there right but to him music has to have a lasting meaning. If he listens to an artist 10 years from now will their music still be relevant or will it just oldies. This is Flounder ( And I still groove to Budd Holley)saying CIAO from Colombia.

Ok so were feeling a little better today but still don’t want to post anything real cool. Ruby is going to a party later which is cool because today is Football Sunday, that’s American football like in the NFL. So we won’t have to worry about ruby wanting to watch something it will be just us the popcorn and the Big Screen. There is a lot of stuff happening in the world and we’ll get to some of it next week maybe, maybe not. This is Flounder saying CAIO from Medellin Colombia.

Jeff has a cold and I have an upset stomach so there will no new post today. This Flounder saying CIAO from Colombia.

Today in the US there was an article about how the people in the Congress and Senate can’t agree on a Budget. The sticking point seems to be how to use tax revenue. Have you ever seen a group of monkeys or cannibals trying to divide up there food? Everybody thinks they deserve a bigger cut and some of them might be right. It’s just that in politics everybody is looking to make somebody who’s already rich happy so they’ll help get them reelected. When you try to discuss money in Washington only one thing is sure the people who can least afford to get screwed will get screwed. My being a cat doesn’t give me any insight into how you can fix this, in my world I’d just kick ass until I got what I wanted. You human on the other hand seem to want lie cheat and kiss ass to get what you want. You know the politicians are always preaching education but if the people really got educated and started paying attention to these idiots they wouldn’t be in office in the first place. We cats don’t envy humans we’re starting to learn that we can use and take advantage of you guys without breaking a sweat. The rest of the world is starting to see that to. They’re starting to realize they don’t have to nuke us they can just set around and wait for everything to collapse on its own, then move in and take over without firing a shot. But us cats don’t have to worry we’ll just keep on doing what we’re doing. This is Flounder saying CIAO for Medellin Colombia.
