Hmmm, I always thought that song went: people who need peepholes.

Yeh, I know. I guess I was hoping he would join us in the new millennium.

Nope...

Obama is protesting...

He is Occupying Oahu for the 18 days....

At a cost of $750,000 to the tax payer as he says we should be saving money for the little guy.

Social is good for the people, not for the socialists.

Who spends more time searching for irrelevant dirt? Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, or TheMercenary?

The first three rabidly want America to fail. A trend is apparent.

Honestly? I think it's too late. I had hope for America, but no longer. 101 million dollar earning CEOs don't care, and their pet sheep don't care, and you can't fight millionaire hall.

I'm completely serious here. I just wish it would happen faster, so I don't feel like the only one drowning. I can live by the train tracks with the other former members of society. We'll live in the boxes discarded by the rich. If they'll let us have them. That might seem like socialism, all that welfare.

Done. Done. Done. Let them take the country and kill us all. I can't care anymore.

You are what you read. You should consider avoiding the political sites you have been going to. They are not making you smarter.

It's a real phenomenon.

Abstract

Media priming refers to the residual, often unintended consequences of media use on subsequent perceptions, judgments, and behavior. Previous research showed that the media can prime behavior that is in line with the primed traits or concepts (assimilation). However, assimilation is expected to be less likely and priming may even yield reverse effects (contrast) when recipients have a dissimilarity testing mindset. Based on previous research on narrative comprehension and experience as well as research on media priming, a short-term influence of stories on cognitive performance is predicted. In an experimental study, participants (N = 81) read a story about a stupid soccer hooligan. As expected, participants who read the story without a special processing instruction performed worse in a knowledge test than a control group who read an unrelated text. Participants with a reading goal instruction to find dissimilarities between the self and the main protagonist performed better than participants who read the story without this instruction. The effects of reported self-activation and story length were further considered.

This is the "Jersey Shore" study that showed that people consuming stupid media content actually perform worse on tests than a control group.

In your example, you are condemning your political opposition for doing what all past presidents have done. Take a trip. It's perfectly normal and standard. 18 days may seem long, but there have been others who took longer vacations. And as we all know, the President is never really off the clock.

What Glatt said.

Meanwhile the Occupy movement continues to evolve and support for its efforts is continuing to grow. Just one example is the Occupy Our Homes protest:

The new campaign, Occupy Our Homes, teams up with a number of community groups long-focused on housing issues and homelessness. It also comes with a specific agenda: putting homeless families into the millions of homes that have been taken over by banks and sat empty since the housing bubble popped, and helping those families on the verge of foreclosure resist eviction.

Occupy is not going to go away just because the police chased them out of some parks. Time Magazine considers OWS the top story of the year. And Coloradans continue to Occupy Denver. (See? I told you we don't mind the snow!)

I actually called Mr. Cassino, still awaiting a response to some questions I have.
