I have decided to test out how effective affiliate programs can be. I am going to start by developing 50 amazon.com affiliate sites selling a wide variety of products. I'm curious to see if I cast a wide enough net, I can catch enough fish. I'll be trying this with most of the major online retailers over the next year. I am going to start another blog to track the progress of this experiment, and to provide tips and tricks for others thinking of getting into the affiliate game. I'll post again soon. My current sites are below. I'll add more as I go. Please visit, and maybe buy something :) .

Peter Berdovsky is the man Boston law enforcement officials have arrested for the "bomb" scare. This is an outrage and an obvious ploy to cover up the immense incompetence displayed by the overreaction and mishandling of an innocuous event.

The promotional event had been going on for weeks in Boston and other cities around the nation. Millions of people tune in daily for Adult Swim and Aqua Teen Hunger Force (see Total ReCarl. my fav episode.. no mooninites.). All the major news outlets were touting this as a promotion for a "new show". ATHF has been around for at least five years, and any self respecting 19 - 35 year old male would have recognized the mooninite characters Ignignokt and Err giving the finger "as hard as he can". Apparently Boston doesn't get the cartoon network, or have internet access.

By making such a huge mistake, Boston law enforcement officials are compounding their stupidity by punishing an innocent man to show they are tough on "terrorism".

When will public officials learn to accept and admit their mistakes. I know there are more important events transpiring in the world today, but this is such a perfect example of the fruit borne by the seeds of fear planted by the Bush administration.

Fear makes fools of kings, and there are no kings in Boston. Forecast for tomorrow.
snow and morons!

Cynical is putting it mildly when I think about politics, but I cannot help being please with the way this election is shaping up. Democrats have the House, and are withing reach of the Senate. I voted a straight Democratic ticket not so much from my belief in the integrity and quality of the Dems, but from and abiding and deep disgust with what Republicans have done with our country. My outrage had and has one outlet, not to for Democrats, but to vote against Republicans. This is undoubtedly a sentiment shared by millions of Americans who are simply hoping something will change for the better..

I couldn't help laughing upon recalling an interview I heard a week or so ago on NPR with Karl Rove. He was discussing his predictions for the elections with Robert Siegel. Mr Siegel brought up polls that were indicating Dems would take the House and possibly the Senate. Rove stated that Siegel was entitled tto "his" math while Rove was entitled to "THE" math.. Well shit Mr. Rove it has become pretty clear that your math is the same brand that was sure of the WOMD's in Iraq, that estimated the total cost of the Iraq war at $60 Billion when it's possible it could end up being upwards of $2 Trillion.

"- a war the president's budget office originally reckoned would cost $60 billion. Today, researchers at the conservative American Enterprise Institute and Stiglitz and Bilms estimate the total cost to the American public at between $1 trillion and $2 trillion."

I guess it's not that surprising coming from a group of wacky old men who think think they have a mandate from god... FOR FUCKING CHRISTS SAKE... and I mean that Christ... God.. Krishna anyone??!! calling all deities.. do you really want these guys pulling for you..

Their math is a sort of faith based math.. which is sort of noble and Zen (and frighteningly similiar to some Physics theories) in a bizzare way.. But the idea that we shape our reality through our own perceptions of it scares the shit out of me when I think about the sick and demented way in which these powerful men and women perceive reality and proceed to shove it down our throats. When they believe their reality is "THE" Reality, there is no room for my reality, your reality.. and what is our reality but our right to think, dream, live...

I'm not sure what this will become for me, but I need to start writing again. I need to excrete.. to purge some of this venom. This is one of the few ways I know how. I think just keeping a Journal will help me sort out some of the difficulties of my life. They seem rather mundane upon reflection but even small wounds can fester and grow if not tended to.
