Motley Dogs is once again a “Howling” good time! 3

All, Dogs Cats and Other Pets, Hodge Podge, She speaks... • Tags: , , , ,

I have a few other “Motley” sites, but with a busy life like most people, you know, that wonderful thing we call “work”, I simply do not have the time to keep up on all of them, except one other besides Motley News. It is Motley Dogs.

Those who have been hanging around ol’ Motley News here for a while knows that dogs are a huge part of my life. But even then, Motley Dogs was put on the back burner for several months. I started to give Motley Dogs a “face lift” (a new layout and theme), but just could not seem to find the time needed to complete this task until just recently, so she is now done. Although last night I just about gave myself a heart attack.

What’s at stake in the 2012 election? 4

All, Election 2012, Political Humor, Politics - US • Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

You may have heard of Robert Reich, but I have not until just recently. A wonderful discovery, a mighty fine fellow to find (wooo… try saying THAT five time fast). If you are not familiar with him, Robert B. Reich, Chancellor’s Professor of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley, was Secretary of Labor in the Clinton administration. Time Magazine named him one of the ten most effective cabinet secretaries of the last century.

Reich has also written thirteen books such as “Beyond Outrage – What has gone wrong with our economy and our democracy, and how to fix it.” Oh how I wish Romney and Ryan would read this, and actually pay attention with an open mind. I know… impossible.

A friend of mine sent me this link today to a site called Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI). It will be best for me to simply quote from their “About” page on who and what this organization is:

“The Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization with a mission to strengthen global security by reducing the risk of use and preventing the spread of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons and to work to build the trust, transparency, and security that are preconditions to the ultimate fulfillment of the Non-Proliferation Treaty’s goals and ambitions.

Planned Parenthood Distributes Condoms with QR Codes to Check In on a Website 17

All, Hodge Podge, Lighter side of life • Tags: , , , , , , ,

Yes, you read that title correctly. I never saw this one coming (oohhh… so sorry about that). Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest has begun distributing 55,000 condoms to college students with QR codes, allowing students to anonymously “check in” and boast about where they’ve practiced safe sex. A Web site dubbed WhereDidYouWearIt.com chronicles all of the action.

The TSA Blog 11

Miss TSA April 2011

When looking through TIME’s “The Best Blogs of 2011” I saw “The TSA Blog” listed. Ayup… a blog all about TSA, from the TSA’s point of view.

Spokesman “Blogger Bob” spends much of his time debunking myths that didn’t need debunking and expressing a peculiar sense of humor. He also manages to ignore most of the questions raised by commenters — an unruly mob whose collective blood pressure seems to rise each time Bob blogs.     More…

Have You Google Searched “Santorum” Yet? 1

Have You Google Searched “Santorum” Yet? The result is:

Santorum
spreadingsantorum.com/
Santorum 1. The frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex. 2. Senator Rick Santorum.

Apparently several years ago, Rick Santorum made a very grave error… he stated that homosexuality is a form of beastiality. That if we allow homosexuals to marry, the result will eventually be man on dog, dog on man, etc. So Dan Savage, a columnist, asked his readers to name something after Santorum. The final results were a by-product of anal sex. More…

From Occupy Wall Street to Occupy Everywhere | Can the media keep up? Reply

Story from the Listening Post on Al Jazeera English discusses how quickly this movement spread throughout the world and the impact with the media.  Comparisons against the uprisings which occurred within the Arab Nations.  The first 8:40 in this video are on this topic, then the Listening Post moves on to other such coverage as the controversy in France with the allegation of spying on journalists, and the website which was taken down due to keeping an eye on the French police.  Propaganda wars between North and South Korea.  The closing piece is about a video called “♫ PHOTOSHOP IN REAL LIFE Music Video” which is included below the Listening Post.

Did you know that the internet automatically filters your search results? Reply

All, Science & Technology • Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

Google, Facebook, amongst many other sites auto-filter your search results. Although this may be appealing to many people, myself amid a significant percentage of other internet searchers, prefer a myriad of results. Ideally, I want to see both sides of the issue if I am searching for an item in the news. Not just conservative, or not just liberal viewpoints. Or primarily mainstream news sites, as they themselves filter the news.

In this video by TED, you will see how the same search for “Egypt” resulted in quite different results.
