You Are Completely Useless

Twitter status update from @GeorgeBray: "Your mobile phone has more computing power than all of NASA in 1969. NASA launched a man to the moon. We launch a bird into pigs."

Lol- doesn't that make you feel totally useless? Reading it has actually motivated me to try to be more epic. I gotta start working on my non-fiction book proposal again for a manual of politics and history for Tea Partiers. After several false starts this winter (that went something like: write paragraph, read paragraph, delete paragraph, loathe and hate myself, rinse and repeat), it kinda fizzled out.

Can't let myself be discouraged. I have more advantages, resources, and time than any author ever had who published amazing works of fiction and non-fiction. The status update above poignantly illustrates that. I'm whoring here a little... but could I get some love in the comment thread to motivate me even more?

:-P

Oh yeah- and what epic goal are you putting off in favor of Angry Birds or whatever your personal equivalent of that happens to be? And what's stopping you? Don't say Angry Birds- that's a distraction we use to keep us from pursuing epic goals because of the real reason that's stopping us (Hint: it usually has something to do with fear).

Onward we march!

I am writing this because the Tea Party movement will fail to create real change unless it finds direction in sound principles and takes specific, practical steps to ensure the implementation of those principles in public policy. I. Principles Any political movement is doomed to failure so long as it is merely fighting for a particular, isolated policy preference or even a set of such preferences, absent of any context and underived from or related to a unified framework for viewing reality, humankind's role in reality, and government's role in humanity. The following (originally published in the Dec. 2008 article " Six Reasons Not To Bailo...

IRS Admits Targeting Tea Party!

You think Matt Drudge is just being hysterical in that screenshot above? With that ALL CAPS headline about the IRS? Being hysterical, while trying to sell you chocolate covered strawberries for Mother's Day? Well guess again, because you know this is seriously crazy when even the AP is using all caps for their headline , and filing it under a subdomain called "bigstory": The AP says : The Internal Revenue Service inappropriately flagged conservative political groups for additional reviews during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status, a top IRS official said Friday. Organizations were singled out because they included the words "tea party" or "patriot" in their applications for tax-exempt status, said Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS division that oversees tax-exempt groups. In some cases, groups were asked for their list of donors, which violates IRS policy in most cases, she said. "That was wrong. T...
