Republicans in Congress: There's a Rep. for that, Iphone app spoof



Sorta pop culture geeky truth!! loves it!

From wakingupnow.com the writer says
I’m sure all politicians careen between saying what they believe and spouting whatever crap will get them elected. But it seems like Republicans have adopted a universal strategy of popular deceit, and if they speak truth it’s only by coincidence. Here’s the pattern I’ve seen:

* Toss out a slew of outrageous lies.
* Watch for one to capture the public’s imagination.
* Turn it into jargon (”death panel”) that sticks in voters’ heads.
* Step back from the lie when it’s debunked, and craft a milder (still dishonest) version. But keep the original jargon.
* Repeat as necessary. Debunkers eventually move on to tackle some new lie, leaving the last version in place and the jargon established.


Pretty fun and spot on.

Here's a little bit more to be proud of;




Oh and just for fun or maybe a little homework;)

Good Works: Using Cheap solar tech to Lift from poverty



ToughStuff is a social enterprise which provides very affordable solar-powered products for low income people, replacing expensive and environmentally damaging alternatives (kerosene lamps and batteries).

Such a great idea, you can buy an solar LED light for $30 and the best part aside from cheap source of light(not to mention any other mod you could use it with)$15 of that goes to funding the business in a box that's given to a poor family in poor nations, to help lift them out of poverty all the while giving sustainable energy to people who often live 10miles away from a power source. By gaining easy power source this often enables these folks to get better emergency care, or able them to sell goods and services, to just name a few benefits.

Can't wait to get my lamp and panels!!
