Censorship
Being a Blogger Holds Legal Risks
Aug 21st
If you are an American, you must be familiar with the constant daily argument that free speech is a right. The problem is that this “law” is challenged on a daily basis. It is challenged in many ways, including top secret government attacks on the character of the person practicing free speech.
The reason that sparked this post is the recent arrest warrant that went out for Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. I saw that major press release, and then maybe an hour later I saw that the arrest warrant was canceled just as fast as it was placed.

My Blog Readers Are Potheads
May 15th
….well maybe not all of them. But a whole heap of my readers find me by searching for the Illinois SB 1381 bill that is trying to pass medical marijuana in Illinois. I have found that the few posts I have written on the subject get more hits than the rest of my blog posts combined. As of right now, I stand at around 150 posts and climbing, not including the categories and tags that add up to over a thousand.
I attribute the pot success to my top 10 rankings in Google regarding the legislation. I am like all of More >
Do I Be Careful Because I’m Popular?
May 14th
Everything points to this blog being pretty big and growing now. My Technorati authority is over 400 and growing (on it’s way to 1k); my Alexa Rank is getting better (almost in the top million); comments are growing; I have tons of indexed pages; and the list goes on. When one comes into this situation, one would think “oh no, maybe I should start being careful with what I say because there are actually readers now”.
I have never been one to think before I speak. I would have to say that just because I can see what I am writing More >
Boobs Create Earthquakes! Oh NO!
Apr 29th
Did you hear the one about the Iranian cleric who made a comment that cleavage was the cause of earthquakes? Ok, well this isn’t a joke. It really happened. The American response? Boobquake. Capitalism at it’s best. See the Facebook page here. I recently “liked” it.
Now watch all the people come together as boobs create world peace.
Now if all country music was like this, I would not despise it so much. People, I can’t make this stuff up. Apparently, after the Facebook page took off and women started showing more cleavage, there was a 6.5 magnitude earthquake somewhere. I am hoping for More >
California County Bans Toys From Happy Meals
Apr 28th
Can you believe this? Misguided government control over something that parents should have control over. Whether or not their kids can have a toy in their happy meal (original story link was broken so I took it down).
I find it ridiculous that a county thinks that they can make this decision. I can’t wait for them to try and do it in my county so I can boycott MacDonald’s and make them sue the hell outta the government for overstepping their bounds.
SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) – A California county is stopping restaurants from using toys to lure children to high-calorie, salt-laden More >
The Westboro Baptist Church Is a FRAUD
Apr 13th
I am not one to judge when it comes to religion. But I have known some very good Christians in my life. And what I know is that any church that promotes HATE at funerals are not churches at all. They are a cult, and were probably started by a satanist or someone who thinks Christianity is a joke. That is exactly what Westboro Baptist Church is.
Westboro Baptist Church, if you don’t know, terrorizes military families at funerals. I have never seen an actual CHRISTIAN carry a sign with the word FAG on it. I have never known a christian More >
A War That America DOES Need to Start – IRAN!
Apr 8th
With all of the stupid wars going on, I am wondering “what about the countries that need to be forced into our values?”. The fact is that Iran is very unstable. They continue to snatch our innocent citizens who most likely were close to their border, but not actually within it, and we sit back and do nothing to make them stop.
I am one of the Americans on the side of blasting Iran off of the face of the earth. Iran is a hostile country with “kids” for leaders. These kids are bad, and need to be punished. I can More >
Repressive Regimes Blocking My Site With Websense
Mar 10th
I found this interesting and thought I should post it. I noticed that websense was visiting my website. I believe it decided to visit because of my post about Iran. If you don’t know, websense is a company that provides a way to block access to certain sites based on it’s content. The Chinese government and other repressive regimes are known to use websense, and blocks their citizens from free speech and access to content that speaks freely.
Very interesting that they decided to visit me. » Inline Ad Purchase: Intext Link Incoming search terms:

Wow, Blog Marketing Post Attracts Spam
Apr 1st
Posted by Brandon Connell in Blogs

I posted a blog recently about marketing through blog commenting, and so far I have received about 50 spam comments from stupid people who obviously didn’t read the post. The funny thing is that they actually created an account here and were on this site rather than using a spam bot.
If you read that post, you will see that I speak about posting non-spam comments, and linking your website to your name in the available field. Contribution comments will actually be posted on quality blogs. People who try to post their junk porn sites, or ecommerce websites, or even virus infected More >
