Casual Articles - America's Dirty Little Secret
I used to work with a woman who had a strange outlook on what was considered romantic. Her idea of a perfect evening with a man was chili dogs at the truck pulls. Do not bringing her flowers and chocolate, it would not get you past the front door.Another co-worker was just the opposite. He felt the need to hold the door for ladies, pay for dinner, and basically shower them with romance. He was the man all of the women who worked there wanted to find, even the ones who were already married.So imagine our surprise when these two co-workers not only met, but fell in love with each other? Not a single person in the shop saw that pairing coming. And as you would think, their romantic beginnings did not run smoothly.Physical attraction between your
The Pentagon is upset because reporters who are on the scene have more sympathy for the victims than they do for the government. It’s not surprising … they are actually there, unlike the politicians and the rest of this pathetic excuse for a representative government. I heard Bush had Air Force One buzz the scene yesterday so he could get a look at the devastation. A real President would find a way to shoulder some of the burden the people he represents are experiencing by landing the f*cking plane somewhere and helping with the relief effort.
This terrible tragedy has the chance of becoming a watershed moment in our country’s political history. Th
If there were any doubt that the pharmaceuticals, the food industry and the govt. were lying to the public, you and me, about the ingredients they put in our food then that should be forever dispelled with this piece of information.It has now been discovered and publicly exposed that the meat industry is secretly gassing meat with carbon monoxide so that the meat remains a red color longer.Now you may ask why this is a problem? Carbon Monoxide is a poison, that’s number one. So, with this practice the meat industry is poisoning our food so they make more money and we buy meat that looks fresh, but who knows how long it has been sitting there waiting to be bought.They are putting a deadly chemical gas in the food and you are consuming it. It
One of the most ridiculous recent reports from the news media came on Monday as the storm barreled across Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama: “New Orleans dodged a bullet,” the reports said, basing their stories on nothing more than wishful thinking and the fact that the storm moved slightly east just before it hit the Gulf Coast.
To add insult to injury, we now know that the levees that broke on Tuesday turned out to be the newest ones. We also know that the Army Corps of Engineers were removed from the loop by the Bush Administration and the money needed to rebuild and protect New Orleans’ infrastructure was consistently cut from Federal budgets as “just too much pork.” Could it be because Louisiana is a Democratic state with a Democratic Governor? When the crisis reached the Federal Government, Alabama and Mississippi, Republican strongholds, were helped first.
It’s truly an outrage that this country cares nothing for its poorer citizens. And that is our Dirty Little Secret. What do you think keeps companies like Wal-Mart and the fast-food chains in business? The poor.
Believe me, if Martha Stewart or a bunch of Bush family cronies were trapped on the roof of one of their New Orleans mansions they would have been rescued immediately. The fact that New Orleans is 70% African-American and votes Democratic ought to tell you something about how this abhorrent Republican Administration cares about all its citizens. But last Friday when this storm began to pick up strength and head for New Orleans everyone in the government knew what would happen. The news media spent a lot of time telling the country what could happen if a Category 5 hurricane hit. They did this last year during the hurricane season and FEMA has known about it for a long time. So the powers that be have had lots of time to plan for the big one but no one did anything. They are already making excuses and patting themselves on the back for a job well done. They didn’t do anything for four damn days! And where are the Democrats? As usual they are AWOL, as they have been ever since Bush took over five years ago.
And where are the Democrats when Republican Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert has the nerve to say “Maybe New Orleans shouldn’t be rebuilt.” AWOL, as usual.

Does your site capture a list of opt-in email addresses of people who have an interest in what you sell? Repeat after me, the number one purpose of your website is to compile a list of prospective customers. The easiest way to do this is to offer a free information product such as a white paper, ebook or other material. I call this an eBait product, and you offer it as an inducement for people to give you their email addresses and permit you to send follow up messages.Is your site an information resource for prospective customers who want information on the topic of your expertise? Before people become customers, they usually go through an information-gathering stage. This is how most people use the web, as a place to find

The Internet is obviously the best place for Buyers to find land to buy, but as a Seller what is the best way to sell land online? It’s like any other sales situation – get it in front of the right folks and lots of them – but make sure it counts.The key to selling land online comes down to two easy items anyone can improve on so they can have better odds of selling their land online:#1: Photos, Photos, and more Photos. The more – the better! What if you left out the photo of that awesome view that a buyer was looking for or the picturesque barn that could have lured in a phone call. Don’t chance it! Put as many photos as you can online with your listing. When people go to buy farms and ranches there are also emotions involved and if you can st

Reciprocal linking has been a widely used strategy for web promotion, in spite of requiring significant effort from us webmasters. First you need to evaluate the convenience of every exchange, then do the actual link publishing and finally, it is necessary a periodical check-up of the corresponding link prevalence.Trying to make things easier for busy webmasters, a wide number of Link Exchange Managers have appeared. These tools are now a very competitive field in the e-Marketing arena. As a result, links in the web have grown much faster than quality contents.The main purpose of current reciprocal linking is to earn link popularity in the search engines, which means better ranking. However, it ads very little value to the Web, and takes away traff

This terrible tragedy has the chance of becoming a watershed moment in our country’s political history. The poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer and this disaster shows the true extent of the gulf between the two. Finally we are able to see how the government reacts when there is no enemy to fight but nature itself and a bunch of poor black people who couldn’t afford to put gas in their cars so they could leave (if they had cars), are the victims. It’s hard to make political points or spin the story in a situation as horrifying as this, but the Government hacks are already trying.
Maybe if we had not sent all the Louisiana National Guard troops to fight in Iraq, things would be different. Maybe if the state and Federal Government had listened to the predictions of what would happen when a Category 5 hurricane hit New Orleans, things would be different. Maybe if the smug, self-satisfied, Administration toadies who rant and rave about the “sanctity of life” actually believed it, things would be different.
Maybes don’t mean much now but it’s pretty obvious a change has got to come in how this country treats its poorest citizens.
Finally our Dirty Little Secret has been revealed in front of the whole nation and it’s now become the big, fat, elephant in the room.
Too bad it’s too little, too late, for thousands of people caught in this horrendous, but very possibly preventable, disaster.
