In reference to Denard Robinson Leaving Michigan.

‘Hey, if the kid wants to go, don’t let the door hit you on the way out. You looked fantastic for five games against nobody. That’s what you did.’ I’m not going to deny his talents, but, ‘You ain’t won nothing in Ann Arbor, son! Not so much we need to worry about if you’re going to be here next year or not.’ “–Desmond Howard

My Message to Denard…”Those who stay will be Champions”. Champions is the key word in this great quote from The Great Bo.  This does not mean football champions, it doesn’t even mean academic champions, it means Life Champions! He was making reference to the fact that a person who doesn’t run from tough times and learns to evolve and take advantage to change will be successful at life. If you spend you whole life running from hardship or blaming your lack of accomplishments on outside forces you will never be successful in life.

Denard I applaud your choice to stay of The University Of Michigan, it shows your true colors and in my opinion regardless of how your football career turns out you are a champion and a true Michigan Man.

Gripes of the Spanish Youth — conservative politicians who watched Spain’s real estate market heat up and took credit as GDP rose nicely, banks that helped and profited by providing streams of easy credit, and the current Socialist government that presided over the bubble’s loud pop in 2008, with its disastrous impact on the country.

“I am the first one to acknowledge we have reacted late and we have been asleep for a long time,” Martinez said.

This is the Future of the USA if we do not get our national debt under control and get our economy and the jobs market straightened out.  Young and restless in Spain as jobless rate soars

“They cannot become productive. They cannot use their skills. They cannot save. They cannot invest in housing. They are not accumulating wealth that they can leave off in the future,”said Allard, an American who has lived in Spain for 25 years.

Under the Citizens United decision, corporations enjoy the same rights as individuals to contribute to campaigns, but they don’t have the moral obligation of a citizen, so they can do back room deals, crush good legislation, rig elections, pass tax break laws for themselves, and run our country from behind the scenes, all without having to deal with the negative side effects. Corporate donations ban unconstitutional

This social security tax increase is said to help balance the deficit this program is running on and help our needed citizen continue to receive their benefits.  If that was really the case this would be a warm heartfelt story, but there is a dark side to this story and this tax.  If we really want to fix our Social Security there is only one way to do it, TAX THE RICH.  the way our current system work the people who will have the highest increase in taxes from social security will be the self employed.  As i like to call them, the once unemployed, but now found a way to make ends meet on their own.  This is a blatant attack by the aristocratic ruling party (The Super Rich, The 1%ers etc.) to eliminate the common citizens ability to be independent.  By increase the self employed citizens taxes we are attack their ability to fend for themselves, making them turn to dependence on either the government for hand outs, or to big business for salaries.

Some would ask why Big Business would want this, but this has an easy answer, They are eliminating the possibility of future competition.  If there are no start up companies then the major companies in control now do not have to worry about being blindsided by a start up company. (Eg. Google was a start up company, now they are taking profits from tech companies all over the world). Just What You Needed: Higher Taxes

I think I saw this guy sleeping under the fifth street bridge the other night,  He tried to steal my aluminum hat to protect my brain from the Aliens.  He kept talking about how Droids are more profitable than Windows… I failed to see any connection.

Have you ever had a friend, on Facebook, that posts a bunch of stupid pictures of stuff no one cares about and takes up your whole news feed.  (I have been realizing people are very protective of this precious news feed space as of late.) Make sure you share a link of this story from Gizmodo on their wall to teach them how to be less annoying.

This brings me back to the days when i had a home and an original Nintendo on my barely color 13 inch TV.

I still have no idea what this guy is talking about though with trying to put all the games in a time line or something.
