Placing New Posts Over At The Social Poets





From Denny: The way the online world has changed so much in the past year it's time to pare back down to just a few blogs. Most people find a blogger through search engines, social sites and blog or rss directories now.

There is so much great news going on that it's just plain easier to place post drafts all in one place when I'm grabbing research and links to write a post. I've experimented the past year with various themes and niche only blogs. Consistently, The Social Poets ranks the highest, against the odds of what all the SEO guys preach.

It's primarily an American Politics news blog with lots of humor in the way of funny videos and funny quotes - and a little poetry, making it a general blog. Rather than keep dividing my traffic I thought I'd experiment again and consolidate the traffic all in one place.

I'll still do roundup posts for the week so it's easier on the reader to check out the links as opposed to plodding through the blog's archive.

I'm leaving up this blog as an archive. Why spoil all those wonderful links littered all over the internet? I'll still use this world photo on The Social Poets so you can recognize it's a "news headlines" post.

Google and the other search engines keep changing their requirements and bloggers have to keep jumping through hoops. Who knows? If the web world changes yet again then I'll adapt yet again. :) Such is life in the fast lane.

I'll be writing on people in the news like celebrities, American politics, world politics and much more. Come check out the The Social Poets:!

American and World Politics Cartoons - 12 June 2010

*** And this crazy world goes round and round from politics. Check out the world cup soccer cartoons!





From Denny: Sometimes, it seems like the whole universe is in retrograde and the astrology folks are warning us about excessive violence among humanity because of the screwy universe at the moment. The world politics and hot tempers certainly could bear that out to be a truth. Fortunately, we have the fascinating world cup soccer games going on as a respite. While the Brits are horrified and vilifying their poor goalie America is excited to have done so well as to tie the dominant British force in the sport. Meanwhile, South Africans are treating this event like Mardi Gras in New Orleans: PARTY!!! :)

Editorial Cartoons 2 Jan 2010

From Denny: Here's a sampling of editorial cartoonists' opinions, love 'em or hate 'em, as to the news and the year and decade that was and what the New Year might bring us:



A short video of a few of the New Years fireworks worldwide:

It's the big ugly fact that if government does not spend the economy will crash down upon our ears. As it is, the banks are still not lending much for car loans and demanding 20% down for houses, creating a shaky economy:

Video: The WHOLE Truth That Happened at the McCaskill Racist Town Hall Meeting

From Denny: As usual the media doesn't show the news clip with the whole story, therefore creating prejudice and feeding into inaccurate views: yellow journalism. Now the truth is coming out about the health care town hall meeting in Missouri with Democrat Senator Claire McCaskill. What everyone saw on the national news is a black woman being "escorted" out, OK, actually she was dragged out by a mob of police; the white people overwhelmingly and enthusiastically cheered her removal.

The black woman and her friend were booed by the room of white people when they came in and sat down with posters. When a journalist asked what was on the poster to elicit such booing and beratement they went to unroll the poster to show the reporter and that's when it happened. What this uncut unedited video proves is that she was attacked by an angry white man who got out of his chair, crossed the aisle and came from her blind spot as she was sitting in her chair with a poster on her lap. HE attacked her! What did the police do? They saw her go to retrieve her poster while the white-haired white man was tearing it up into shreds out of sheer spite.

Who gave him the right to destroy her property in a public place? Who is this guy? Why did a rush of police go to drag her out of the meeting when it was clear she was attacked? Why did only one, count them, one police officer half-heartedly and gently escort the white man away from the scene? Did they arrest him for attacking the black woman? Missouri must be one seriously racist and arrogant state. Glad I don't live there.

Shock of shocks: Even Louisiana isn't that stupid and mean-spirited as the Midwestern part of our country has become. Everyone talks about the South being so horribly racist; looks like the Midwest has taken over that "honor" and beauty queen tiara title. These people should be ashamed of themselves for denying a woman the right to own a poster.

What drugs are they on? Better yet: What drugs do they need to be on for such bizarre excessive belligerance and violence? Sounds like a need for mood enhancers like used for acute depression. Is that what all this racism in the country is really about: mentally ill people who have gone untreated for decades?

So what was the poster? Are you ready for the shocking truth? It was a photo of little ol' lady Rosa Parks. That's it. You have got to be kidding me! No kidding; these folks in Missouri are whacked in the head for that kind of over reaction to a poster. Remember the whole room applauded what that one guy did so they are as guilty and as weird by association - and approval of clear wrong-doing.
