Glenn Beck Goes Ballistic Over Tom ‘Foreign Policy’ Hanks

March 12, 2010 by The Transplanted Texan

From The Right Scoop

Glenn Beck goes nuclear on Tom Hanks and our foreign policy.

I’m always amazed at Hollyweird and its ability to showcase the absurd. Want to hear some migraine-inducing nonsense? Want your eyes, ears and nose to bleed? Listen to the inhabitants of make-believe-land.

I don’t agree with everything Beck says, but on this one, I’m with him. Tom Hanks and his Hollyweird kool-aid make me want to woof my dinner all over the floor.

Twitter Is Watching You

March 12, 2010 by The Transplanted Texan

Picked up from The Drudge Report; written by Joanne McCabe with Metro UK

Twitter is watching you. New technology tells the world where you’re tweeting from. Twitter already reveals to the rest of the world what you’re doing and what you’re thinking, and now, the microblogging site can let everyone know where you are as well.

This is a tool that you can, supposedly, turn on & off. Please. They have records of where you are whether you like it or not. Don’t fool yourself into thinking you can tweet and they don’t know where you are at all times. If you believe that, you don’t grasp how servers browsers work.

Beware Quackwatch

February 27, 2010 by The Transplanted Texan

This guy, Stephen Barrett…he’d have you believe that he is the foremost expert in all things ‘quackery’. To him, anything other than mainstream-AMA-backed medicine is useless.

Although he is free to present his opinion, much like the rest of us out here blogging (me, included), do not be fooled by the ‘M.D.’ at the end of his name. I think he even wrote his own biography on Wikipedia. However, that being expressed, he has gotten himself into quite a bit of trouble in the courts for repeatedly suing people and claiming he was a ‘retired psychiatrist’. Health Freedom Law, sponsored by the Law Offices of Carlos F. Negrete, explains further.

Here is a quote from one of the cases:

“At trial, under a heated cross-examination by Negrete, Barrett conceded that he was not a Medical Board Certified psychiatrist because he had failed the certification exam. This was a major revelation since Barrett had provided supposed “expert testimony” as a psychiatrist and had testified in numerous court cases as such.”

A person or organization named Atlantic America has two different blogs set up, covering Stephen Barrett’s background, and his research on chemical sensitivity, in-depth:
The Never-Board-Certified Stephen Barrett, MD
The Never-Board-Certified Stephen Barrett, MD, Part 2

Be very careful when you read this man’s opinion on his website. He is no expert. He merely has an opinion and he has tried to beat people over the head with it. Believing that this man is a seasoned doctor with many, many practicing years of experience would be as ridiculous as believing that I am an experienced journalist. I am not and would never claim to be.

Longhorns Crushing Defeat

Agonizing night for Texas QBs

I happened to catch some of the game at a friend’s place. I’m far from being a Longhorn fan, but these two kids played their hearts out. McCoy was injured early on and Gilbert was too green to save the day. Both were in tears, one because his entire college football career came to bitter close and the other because he couldn’t save the team from a national defeat. Both played against the team with this year’s Heisman Trophy winner: Mark Ingram, Jr.

Congratulations, Crimson Tide. Tough luck, Longhorns.

EPA Program Spreads Toxins Across America’s Farmland

January 5, 2010 by The Transplanted Texan

From James Heiser @ The New American (published by American Opinion Publishing, a wholly owned subsidiary of The John Birch Society)

“The federal government is encouraging farmers to spread a chalky waste (a whitish, calcium-rich material known as flue gas desulfurization gypsum, or FGD gypsum) from coal-fired power plants on their fields to loosen and fertilize soil…

About half of the 17.7 million tons of FGD gypsum produced in the United States last year was used to make drywall…

They’re poisoning our food sources and our dwellings with this stuff. What’s next? Toxic clothing? Our personal care products are already full of synthetic toxins and poisonous industry by-products.

Top 25 Cable News Shows of 2009

From Greg Pollowitz @ NRO

Fox sweeps the top 10.

The smart folks are ignoring the lame-stream-media and getting the real news from cable stations. O’Reilly, Hannity & Beck RULE. And, again, I have to ask, why is Chris Matthews still on the air?

“Net Neutrality” or “Open Internet”…isn’t.

Help stop this government takeover. If it isn’t stopped, you can forget about blogging your opinion.

What is the Constitution?

From Timothy Baldwin @ Campaign For Liberty

“…many of us need to be educated about what a constitution actually is before constitutional law and freedom can be restored throughout the states.”

This article is an excellent description of our Constitution and its history.

2009’s Idiots of the Year

From Leigh Scott @ Big Hollywood

Those that are batted about by every wind will suffer the consequences of the ‘whatever’ mentality. If there are too many of you, wandering around mindlessly, voting for candidates you know nothing about (or won’t listen to), you damn the rest of us to the same dire consequences.

NCIS 2009 Christmas Episodes: Christian Bashing

December 30, 2009 by The Transplanted Texan

From Clay Jacobsen @ Big Hollywood

A truly special Christmas gift from ‘NCIS’.

I expected better from this show. I expected better from Mark Harmon. That being expressed, when you exist in Hollyweird, everything is backwards.
