Racist Senator Harry Reid applied for membership in the “sexist” club yesterday when he said: “Men, when they’re out of work, tend to become abusive.”
Kennedy calls Martha Coakley, Marcia Coakley throughout remarks

“we need to get Marcia Coakley to help him to do that.” – Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) January 17, 2010
The Kennedy’s are really aware of what is happening in Massachusetts.
AT&T asked to comment on its Privacy Policy
Jan0
We have asked AT&T to comment on its privacy policy. Specifically we asked:
1. Why doesn’t AT&T verify email addresses it sends emails to?
2. Why does AT&T not provide a link in the emails it sends out to allow “good samaritans” to report that AT&T is sending someone else’s records to them?
3. Why don’t AT&T customer service representatives take calls letting them know that they are sending information to the wrong addresses?
4. Why do AT&T representatives state that they do not care whether AT&T emails are republished?
Specifically, as recounted previously AT&T has sent us information for various AT&T customers and each time has been rude and unhelpful when we go to report them.
January 20, 2010: AT&T did not respond for comments on its privacy policy, but did ask for a copy of the most recent email regarding Mordecai Alpert’s account. On a humorous note, AT&T did BEGIN sending us account statements for Richard Schweitzer, without any means of reporting it, so, Mr Richard Schweitzer, you can get your account information on-line:

AirTran A+ Visa card from Barclay Card for Burton Stevens!
Dec0
Yet again a credit card company notifies us of someone else’s new Visa. AirTran A+ Visa card from Barclay Card (barclaycardus.com, of the Barclay’s Group) notified us today of someone else’s Visa approval. While Barclays claims to have a privacy policy, they don’t seem to follow it nor do they give links to notify them of the problem.
Humorously enough BarclayCardus.com has this message on it today:
“At Barclaycard, we never stop envisioning new ways to help our partners cultivate customer loyalty.”
Maria Shriver gets another ticket and runs a stop sign.

Maria Shriver gets another ticket and runs a stop sign. Do as I say, not as I do is the operative phrase of the group of people who want to control the rest of us for their own benefit. Real illustrative. Thank you TMZ for publicizing the continuing illegal behavior of those who want to regulate our freedom away.

There are two types of leaders in this world. Those who lead by incentive, and those who lead by force. Those who lead by incentive will offer you a salary to come and work for them, those who lead by force will throw you in jail if you do not pick up a gun and fight for them.

And more private financial information from American Express with no way to notify them – email doesn’t work and calling Bahrain is not in my calling plan.

100 Reasons why climate change is natural
Dec0
Interesting article on 100 reasons why climate change is natural.
If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place. Google CEO Eric Schmidt
Dec0
“If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.” – Google CEO, Eric Schmidt, to CNBC’s Maria Bartiromo, December 7, 2009.
Google’s New Privacy Policy:
At Google, we are keenly aware of the trust you place in us and our responsibility to protect your privacy IF you have nothing to hide. Otherwise, too bad, use Bing.
I guess Schmidt won’t mind:
1. Cameras stationed outside his house.
2. Providing his credit card statements to the public.
3. Responding to ValleyWag and others who reported on his many girlfriends, despite being married.
4. Publishing his health records.
5. Publishing his tax returns.
If Google’s Schmidt does not immediately publish those records, it is obvious he has something to hide.
It is the height of stupidity to say that everyone’s private life should be open to the public view. Just because you don’t share your credit card statements doesn’t mean you are doing something wrong.
