    Compare the following recent news articles/scenarios. My question is: What’s the difference between these two businessmen who obviously know how to make money?

    Congratulations on your 1,337th like on My Blogging Path by Flynn.

    Yay! Thanks, WordPress for letting me know! (Actually, I really don’t f^ckin’ care! So who/whatever keeps “liking” my posts better go f^ck yourself! But thanks, really, you f^ckin’ troll!)*

    Giffords leads Tucson shooting anniversary remembrance
    By Brad Poole and Tim Gaynor | Reuters – 2 hrs 57 mins ago

    “TUCSON, Ariz (Reuters) – Bells tolled, girls in white dresses danced and Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords led a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance on Sunday, one year after a shooting spree that claimed six lives and left her gravely wounded.”

    Thank goodness, Ms. Gabby is doing well! From what I see, her “left” skull/brain was affected and therefore her “right” side/face has been compromised. I noticed that her “right” eye is “wide opened“, just like someone with facial palsy.

    Earlier, I’ve trolled Kenny boy’s site about the possiblity of a staged event. But the photos showing Gabby before and after the incident tell me that it was no staged event by the way she holds her smile to expose a nice set of teeth (and little to no gum) and the folds on her chin area and the corners of her mouth.

    That’s how I can tell if the person is real or not, by the attention to details from an “artist’s mind”, like moi. As long as I have the angles of photos lined up, I could “quickly” scan with my mind’s eye if anything doesn’t match up. I really should be in forensics and use my ability to discern/uncover the truth and bring to justice to those conspiracy theories.

    Background check company will store your social networking slipups for 7 years

    Now, thanks to a ruling by the FTC, background checking services can store those unfortunate moments for up to 7 years after you’ve deleted them from the web.

    A company called Social Intelligence — which provides background checks for companies during the hiring process — recently drew ire from would-be employees due to its practice of building detailed files on applicants.

    So before you update your Facebook or Twitter status, remember that the information you put forth can come back to haunt you, years after you’ve wiped your web slate clean.

    So, Facebook and Twitter are sell-outs. Does this apply to WordPress.com users who don’t put their agent identity online?

    China warns U.S. debt-default idea is “playing with fire”

    By Emily Kaiser – Wed Jun 8, 8:41 pm ET

    “SINGAPORE (Reuters) – Republican lawmakers are “playing with fire” by contemplating even a brief debt default as a means to force deeper government spending cuts, an adviser to China’s central bank said on Wednesday.”

    “If the United States cannot make interest payments on its debt, the Obama administration has warned of “catastrophic” consequences that could push the still-fragile economy back into recession.”

    Yeah, and they still won’t repay the principal. Interest is nothing, really.

    Google says was rebuffed as partner by Facebook
    – 1 hr 38 mins ago

    SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Google Inc tried to partner with Facebook but was rebuffed, denying the search giant to the social network’s trove of personal information, Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt said on Tuesday.

    Well, well, well. Looks like the well-paid “operatives” (i.e. the See-Aye-Hey) really want a fascist regime among the insignificant fools participating in social networking. Can you imaging the data base of Facebook being merged with the Google search engine? My god! I want to stop using my cellphone once and for all and just pen my thoughts on paper the hard way. Who knows? Maybe weblogging is next and maybe this site too will meet its fate with big brother and “privacy issues”, thanks to TPTB and pals and their extension of the “Patriot Act”.

    WTF do you think I keep deactivating my Facebook account? Of course, I’ve left electronic trails for TPTB and pals to know who they are messing with.

    In recent news,

    Family finds $45,000 in new home — then returns it
    By CHI-CHI ZHANG, Associated Press – Thu May 19, 8:50 pm ET

    SALT LAKE CITY – When Josh Ferrin closed on his family’s first home, he never thought he’d make the discovery of a lifetime — then give it back.

    They stopped counting at $40,000, but estimated there was at least $5,000 more on the table.

    Ferrin thought about how such a large sum of money could go a long way, pay bills, buy things he never thought he could afford.

    After most of the money was counted, Ferrin called one of Bangerter’s sons with the news.

    As in the recent news article, finding that much money could have been easily spent by the family. But that was the test: To “spiritually” record how honest their genes and how good-hearted their souls. After all, taking money that doesn’t belong to them is like stealing. And stealing to feed the family is bad karma. Forget karma! What goes into the stomach of your loved ones must be through hard work, not by “free money that happens to grows on trees”.

    So for whatever reason and despite my not meeting the “threshold”, I hope everyone learns that what goes around, comes around — maybe not now, maybe not me for perhaps later on and meant for others. Although I’ve been told that I would never get my money back by professional number two, I would like to believe that professional number one would keep his promises and guarantees.

    This is the sort of story that should make headlines. I like news that mean something to me and to each generation: To show that people are not selfish but are indeed compassionate. And all the mysterious negativity coming from mainstream media is unwarranted but necessary to “test” the will of the people: To “observe” how they respond to situations that could have been favorable (or auspicious) to them.
