TV: 2 Broke Girls

  I like “2 Broke Girls” on CBS. 

“2 Broke Girls (stylized as 2 BROKE GIRL$) is an American television sitcom that debuted on CBS during the 2011–12 television season. The series follows the misadventures of roommates Max and Caroline, both financially poor, and their efforts to start a cupcake business in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn, New York. The first episode aired at 9:30 pm (E/P) after Two and a Half Men on September 19, 2011. Later episodes followed How I Met Your Mother on Monday nights at 8:30 pm (E/P). The series was created by Michael Patrick King and Whitney Cummings for Warner Bros. Television. On October 5, 2011 CBS gave a full-season order to the freshman comedy.

On March 14, 2012, CBS announced that 2 Broke Girls would return for a second season during the 2012–2013 television season….”

My Daily View for 04/29/2012

  Newt Gingrich to end his presidential bid on Wednesday.  He came out of this race looking like a dam fool.  He would have been better off staying out of the race.  (Of course as a Democrat I am glad he ran.) 
  Also the insiders and all the Republicans knew him from the past knew he was a royal ass-hole.  Now the rest of us learned it. 

  A 3.8 earthquake hit southern California.  I had a daughter and son-in-law that lived in CA for years.  I was glad when they moved. I think one of these days the big earthquake is going to hit again. They are in Washington DC now. 

  I remember an earthquake when I was about 4 years of age and living in CA.  One of the very few things I remember during those very early years.
  I lived in a part of the United States that gets tornadoes all the time (Missouri).  I lived in Miami and was there for a couple of hurricanes. 
  I also was working in Lee’s Summit (MO) the night a micro-burst hit.
  So I have seen a lot of weather over the years. 

 

  I just watched an excellent movie “The Lincoln Lawyer.” 

“Mick Haller is a defense lawyer who works out of his Lincoln. When a wealthy Realtor is accused of raping a prostitute, Haller is asked to defend him. The man claims that the woman is trying to get some money out of him. But when Haller looks at the evidence against him, he learns that this case might be linked to an old case of his.

iTunes Store

  I was here at my computer… Like I am all the time. 
I saw notice of an email that just came in and it was a email from PayPal saying that it was a receipt for my payment of $32.98 to the iTunes Store.

  I never got anything from the iTunes Store.
  I do have an Android cell phone and I think that I have it setup so that I can buy an  android application or music or something using my cell phone and have them take it out of my PayPal account.
 
  Well I went to PayPal and filed a report of an unauthorized transaction.
I also went into the PayPal settings and cancelled my billing agreement with the iTunes Store (Pro/Virtual Terminal).

  This time of the month, end of the month, I am always broke.  Thank God this withdraw did not cause my bank account to have a over draft.

  If you are setup with the ITunes Store you better be careful.

  I do not like having things taken direct out of my bank account.
In order to be a approved PayPal, I forget what they call it, user you have to have a bank account setup with them so that they can take money out of your bank account.  If you are not a certified or whatever they call it user then it causes problems for you as a PayPal user.

Update:  05/04/2012
  PayPal  Says that they have finished their investigation of my dispute.  They have issued a refund of the payment to me.  
  I do not see the refund in my account.  I will wait a few days and see it it turns up.
  I still do not know what I was charged for or who created the charge. 

Voter Registration

  I got my new voter registration certificate in the mail today.  On the back of it they said that the new Texas law now requires everyone to have a photo ID to vote. 
  That is to prevent fraud by people voting that should not be voting!

  I am 71 years old and I have never heard of any voter fraud.  In the United States it is hard to get people to go and vote.  There are not people doing voter fraud. 

  Now I do not have a problem with people having to have a photo ID.  But the entire reason for these new laws is to keep people from voting.  It is a Republican idea that by requiring photo ID and making it harder to vote that they can keep blacks and others from voting.
  
  It will work a little bit.  I saw a news story were some woman I think she was 101 years old and she could not vote because she did not have a photo ID card.  She has been voting her entire life and now at age 101 she can not vote.
  
  How much money did the Republicans spend to get a nonexistent voter fraud problem law?  Plus many states have then had to spend millions fighting court cases about the stupid law.
 
  I did a little search on the Internet and found a report that 11% of United States citizens (21 million Americans) do not have a government issued photo ID.
  The Republicans must have done some research because I found that 25% of our black citizens of voting age do not have a photo ID card.

 
 

Washington murder suspect hiding in fortified bunker

“(CNN) -- A Washington state man wanted in the killings of his wife and daughter was believed to be holed up Friday evening in a fortified bunker about 25 miles east of Seattle, authorities said.

SWAT and other teams deployed tear gas into the hillside structure in an effort to smoke out suspect Peter Keller, said Sgt. Cindi West of the King County Sheriff's Office.

"We do believe somebody is in there. We heard something going on, but nothing lately," West said. "We can't send people in there because of safety."

The homemade bunker is outside North Bend near Rattlesnake Ridge Trail, according to the King County Sheriff's Office.

Keller, 41, is not believed to have a previous criminal record. Investigators do not have a clear motive for the slayings, according to West.

"We gathered he had a doomsday attitude ... family and friends have indicated he thought the world was going to end at some point," West said.

Some relatives have termed Keller a survivalist, she added…”

 

  I think it would be very easy to get the guy to come out.  You could use a PA and say that the TV show the “Doomsday Preppers” want do a special on him.  These guys seem to love to tell everyone how smart they are and how much stuff they got.  He would love to show all his guns.
  Or you could broadcast to him that the NRA wants to give him a special award.  I bet he would rush out to be honored by the NRA.

  Or you could drive him out the hard way… You could play some speeches of President Obama.  Or you could play rap music.  Of course he might kill himself if he has to listen to rap music.

Revisiting Hulu

  I  have not been to the Hulu site for months and months.  I guess since I got all the cable channels and DVR service from my cable company (Charter).
 
  I joined Hulu in March of 2008. I see I have a profile page there but no activity on it.

  I was a plus user in the past but I am not going to sign up again.  I need to cut cost not be adding new monthly bills.
  I would sign up for plus membership if they offered “The West Wing” as one of the TV shows they had on their service.  I loved that show.

I got my new Logitech C920 webcam today

  I got my new Logitech Pro C920 webcam today and here is some video about it and you can see video from the C910 and C920 and decide which you like best.

 

Norwegians sing ‘Children of the Rainbow’

“OSLO, Norway — They gathered by the tens of thousands in the drenching rain to face down terrorism with song.

Drawn by a Facebook-organized protest, Norwegians flocked to public squares across the country Thursday and rallied against far-right fanatic Anders Behring Breivik, now on trial for a bomb-and-shooting rampage that killed 77 people.

They sang a Norwegian version of a Pete Seeger tune that the confessed mass killer claims has been used to brainwash the country's youth into supporting immigration.

Defiant singalongs of "Children of the Rainbow" were staged in Oslo and other major Norwegian cities, even as the ninth day of the trial went on with survivors of Breivik's attacks giving tearful testimony…”

 

My Rainbow Race - Donovan

 

Uploaded by Gozo1919 on Aug 31, 2010

 

“MY RAINBOW RACE
One blue sky above us
One ocean lapping all our shore
One earth so green and round
Who could ask for more
And because I love you
I'll give it one more try
To show my rainbow race
It's too soon to die.
1. Some folks want to be like an ostrich,
Bury their heads in the sand.
Some hope that plastic dreams
Can unclench all those greedy hands.
[Some hope to take the easy way:
Poisons, bombs. They think we need 'em.
Don't you know you can't kill all the unbelievers?
There's no shortcut to freedom.]
2. Go tell, go tell all the little children.
Tell all the mothers and fathers too.
Now's our last chance to learn to share
What's been given to me and you.”

Thousand sing Breivik song Children of the Rainbow

“Norwegians raised their voices in unison on Thursday to get under the skin of admitted mass killer Anders Behring Breivik.

An estimated 40,000 people turned out in central Oslo's Youngstorget square to sing "Children of the Rainbow," a Norwegian version of "My Rainbow Race," written by American folk singer Pete Seeger.

During his trial for the killings of 77 people last summer, Breivik cited the song as an example of Marxist influence on Norwegian culture.

The Norwegian version of the song describes a "World where – every sister and every brother – shall live together – like small children of the rainbow," according to a report in the Norway Post…”      CNN
