Over at ZDNet Mitch Ratcliff announced the infusion of his new company (Buzz Logic NOT to be confused or construed with my small psychic informational portal “Doctor Buzzard Tasteless Tonic and Medicine Show!) with a real spiritual injection from the business venture captial Bankers of hard assets… It’s not so unusual or unexpected that Mitch’s efforts would eventually pay off no matter how often his wrong headed liberal politics may have steered him off into the dark abyss. Because a lot of times these insticts proved right on the money. He is someone with whom that you can hold a consistent and honest disagreement without holding a grudge. He is no doubt laughing all the way to the bank because the proof of success is found in a happy and productive life. Should, perhaps, say break a leg but there are those who might take this literally been there and done that and so did they so I’ll just say best of lucky.
BuzzLogic reaches a milestone by ZDNet’s Mitch Ratcliffe — You’ll have to forgive my indulging in writing about a company I helped to start, but today’s a good day. It was almost three years ago that Todd Parsons and I sat in a sushi place on Chestnut Street in San Francisco and talked about how the measurement of social media would require many more [...]
Still we have to make our choices where then to sleep in our bed that we have prepared. I would hate as much to see the Internet lost to the lawyers almost as much as I do with entire ATT thing. Both serve only those needs which only money can buy and so are in their own rights pose dangers from a kind of technological tyrants. I wish Mitch the best but can help but be a bit concerned to see that army of corporate attorneys that seem to be necessary to keep an ongoing concern upon the increasing litigious Internet. This cannot be a good development when you add all the political correctness that is already all too pervasive in our over litigious nation. Perhaps he feels he has no choice, I mean if he wants to fly without being harassed by the moron army of the TSA. You either have to fly Air force One or own a corporate jet.
On thing for sure, if President Bush is serious about winning the war on terror, the first step (IMHO) is the disbanding of the TSA because it is counter productive and does not serve the stated goal of winning the war on terror. Unless of course that is not the goal but rather the distruction of the Constitution of the United States of America is the true objective, then “Way to go” … Sir, give it over to the Air Marshall, frankly they would be hard pressed at putting this country’s war efforts into greater ruin. You have to have home support as well as home security if we are to mantain a sustained effort on the part of this nation in order to pervail over the long haul. The TSA must go.

Obviously, “break a leg”, should be left to those in theater as a good luck call, and left entirely out of the psychic and spiritual community, not to mention the business world, who use a lot of laptops, who don’t think to carry ducktape for those broken bones that might be encountered and need that laptop and tape to secure those broken bones. The best of Lucky will always be the best, so Congratulations are do with everyone walking on two sturdy legs without pins and a cast.
To be perfectly honest, my grandfather and father were licensed pilots. Both chose to work independantly and as far away from the Commercial Airlines as possible, ( my father did, however, worked shortly for U.S. Airways.) TSA has ticked off more people, including pilots over the many years. It wouldn’t even be appropriate comments for me to tell you what my grandfather and father thought about TSA. Especially, when I flew from London to New York and from New York to Phoenix and ended up over the Pacific Ocean of California, because the pilot didn’t really know where “she” was going. My Grandfather (and pinoeer of flying in this (State) had her fired for being incompetent, just because it was His Granddaughter that had to put up with a profession, she was raised with, and he was upset over the TSA’s incompetance of hiring pilots that were incompetant. He was very high ranking and well known, in the flying profession. Think about who is actually flying that plane before you get molested prior to getting on that plane, and bring you own food because you will not get it on the airline anymore.
What has happened to the United States of America and their air travel system? 911 is long over and it really makes you wonder who really is in charge of the U.S. air space!

Thank you Kimberley for that thoughtful insight. I hope I’ve not overstated the case, aside from the fact that Katrina may (because in the rise of the level of CO2 gas) be considered man made. The TSA is a pure product of bad legislation and because they have been established by an act of congress by law they have assumed the rights, under homeland security, to “protect” us any way they see fit. Even if it involves the collection of a clandestine database on every American in this country that purchase an airline ticket and the establishment of a secret police (the very envy of Hitler’s Gestapo). Even if it means they feel compelled to destroy our constitution, perhaps that was the true objective all along. Thay are accountable to no one and cannot even be charged in our court of law, which means they are above the law because they are set apart and above the constitution of this nation.
I came across this piece:
A Few Words in Defense of Our Country
By Randy Newman
“I’d like to say a few words
In defense of our country
Whose people aren’t bad nor are they mean
Now the leaders we have
While they’re the worst that we’ve had
Are hardly the worst this poor world has seen
Let’s turn history’s pages, shall we?
Take the Caesars for example
Why within the first few of them
They had split Gaul into three parts
Fed the Christians to the lions
And burned down the City
And one of ’em
Appointed his own horse Consul of the Empire
That’s like vice president or something
That’s not a very good example, is it?
But wait, here’s one, the Spanish Inquisition
They put people in a terrible position
I don’t even like to think about it
Well, sometimes I like to think about it
Just a few words in defense of our country
Whose time at the top
Could be coming to an end
Now we don’t want their love
And respect at this point is pretty much out of the question
But in times like these
We sure could use a friend
Hitler. Stalin.
Men who need no introduction
King Leopold of Belgium. That’s right.
Everyone thinks he’s so great
Well he owned The Congo
He tore it up too
He took the diamonds, he took the gold
He took the silver
Know what he left them with?
Malaria
A president once said,
“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”
Now it seems like we’re supposed to be afraid
It’s patriotic in fact and color coded
And what are we supposed to be afraid of?
Why, of being afraid
That’s what terror means, doesn’t it?
That’s what it used to mean
The end of an empire is messy at best
And this empire is ending
Like all the rest
Like the Spanish Armada adrift on the sea
We’re adrift in the land of the brave
And the home of the free
Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye.”
Its really sad that the former land of the free and home of the brave has become the land of Stand-by Slaves courtesy of our elected officials and Homeland Security of the TSA… Maybe we should put up a sign “Freedom Don’t live Here Anymore” or something telling the people we’ve been placed into the safe deep pockets of the highest bidder. This is what or fathers, sons, sister, brothers are fighting and dying to protect because it sure ain’t “This Land is Your land or My Land” anymore… Welcome to the New World Order!
