Ronald Reagan

In a Labor Day address in 1980, Ronald Reagan said:

These are the values inspiring those brave workers in Poland … They remind us that where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost.

Best Player

So, Nickelodeon had this movie last night Best Player which they advertised as Look! iCarly people! We don't even need a real plot!

It got my mom and I to thinking. Instead of a fictional account, they should have had an actual video game challenge among its stars.

THAT would have been awesome, like a modern day equivalent to Challenge of the Network Allstars they used to have when I was little. Even Disney Channel used to have a similar fitness challenge a few years back.

Who wouldn't want to see how badly they suck at Wii or Kinect?

My mom still watched the movie though.

Ahsoka and Chewie

Aren't they cute?



That episode's going to be awesome!

Tsunami Warnings in Jeopardy?

As reported on CBS news, the House budget that was passed last month would cut funding for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) by 1.2 billion, drastically impacting the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii which saved countless lives this past weekend.

I hope that cut is reconsidered...

Umm, What?

LiveJournal has been placed on a spam-block list by an external service used by several email providers. As a result, notifications that are ordinarily sent via email providers that use this spam-blocking service (such as Yahoo!) are not being delivered.

I think I might be receiving my notifications correctly. My last notification was the same time as it was commented instead of days/hours later.

So *fingers crossed*

Also, you mean I have 207 messages in my spam folder and that's the spam that MADE IT?!!!
