LAUGH FOR THE DAY - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
Some could say this is the what the current Government does...
LAUGH FOR THE DAY - SILLY STRING
They should lengthen the time to 365 days a year and post this in Washington, D.C. - Capital of Silly String.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - 7 DANGERS TO HUMAN VIRTUE (THIS WAS JUST WORTH REPEATING)
SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE ALL 7 OF THESE WORKING IN ABUNDANCE IN THE USA.

IS YOUR TV "SNOOPING" ON YOU? TO FIND OUT AND HOW TO TURN IT OFF - READ THE ARTICLE
Dear Readers:
I remember back in the 60's and 70's the different television series depicting the crazy little guy with the metal helmet telling the police officers that his TV was spying on him. Well, maybe our TV's couldn't do it then, but they can now. Today I came across an article about this very subject and how to turn off the monitoring.
Below a link to the article. Due to copyright laws I cannot include an excerpt.

WISE WORDS FROM MY STATE REPRESENTATIVE ON "PROTECTING WORKERS RIGHTS"
Dear Readers:
It makes me feel good that I have a Representative serving in the Congressional House that has common sense. Here is his take on this latest efforts of labor unions to take away workers' rights.
Protecting Workers' Rights
While
the Obama Administration has proposed a number of rules and regulations
that make it more difficult for employers to create jobs, there is
perhaps no rule more unfair to employers than the so-called “ambush
election” rule proposed by the National Labor Relations Board. The
ambush election rule was finalized last December and could shorten the
length of time in which a union election is held to as little as 11
days. The average certification election is currently 38 days. This
flawed rule will limit the ability of employers to prepare for union
elections and, more importantly, gives workers too little time to weigh
the facts about joining a union.
Earlier
this year, I was proud to join House Speaker John Boehner, Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Education and the Workforce
Committee Chairman John Kline and Senators Lamar Alexander and Mike Enzi
to introduce a joint resolution of Congress to stop this rule’s
implementation.
For far too long, we’ve seen the Obama administration’s activist NLRB – which should
ensure fair and transparent union elections – put the interests of
labor unions before those of job creators and American workers. This
latest rule is nothing more than an attempt to speed up union elections,
violating the rights of workers to make an informed decision and
employers to communicate openly with their employees during a union
organizing campaign. As I’ve said before, this isn’t about whether you
are pro or anti-union—the purpose of this resolution is to stop the NLRB
from moving forward with policies that will effectively cripple the
rights of workers.
Even a labor attorney and former NLRB staff member spoke out
about this rule in a committee hearing held on March 4. Arnold Perl
said that, “workers’ rights had been abandoned by the new rules which
imposes built-in obstacles which prevent or impede reasoned and informed
choices by employees.” Also troubling, this rule requires employers to
give information including work schedules, home and email addresses and
phone numbers to union leaders, jeopardizing the privacy and safety of
workers and their families.
Earlier
this month, the Senate passed this important bill, and this week, the
House did the same. While I hope the president reconsiders his position
and decides to support worker freedom, the president has indicated he
will veto this legislation, further proving that his administration is
more concerned with supporting union bosses than ensuring a fair and
impartial process that respects workers’ rights to make decisions that
are best for them.
Last
November, voters spoke out against the president’s destructive
governing tactics loud and clear. Unfortunately, rather than change
course, it seems this administration is doubling down on the same failed
policies that prevent more robust job creation. Still, I am committed
to fighting back and pushing for commonsense, smaller government. I want
to leave a better country for my children and grandchildren, and I
strongly believe President Obama is leading us in the opposite
direction. As long as I have the honor of representing the First
Congressional District, you can rest assured I will continue fighting to
be a voice of reason in Washington.

WHY I AM OPPOSED TO MAKING MARIJUANA LEGAL?
Dear Readers:
I have posted other articles about marijuana and my opposition against it. Just read an article today that just backs up what I have said before. Here is a quote:
"Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke contains cancer-causing chemicals. There are 33 cancer-causing chemicals contained in marijuana. Marijuana smoke also deposits tar into the lungs. In fact, when equal amounts of marijuana and tobacco are smoked,
marijuana deposits four times as much tar into the lungs. This is because marijuana joints are un-filtered and often more deeply inhaled than cigarettes."
Here is the link from the American Lung Association article where I got the quote: http://www.lung.org/associations/states/colorado/tobacco/marijuana.html
Where are all the people that spout off about the dangers of cigarette smoking? Many of these same people are okay with making marijuana legal. Honestly, it just doesn't make since. I guess it is okay to get cancer if you are getting high.

ONCE AGAIN - TECH SAVVY NEWS FROM MY FAVORITE TECH PERSON - WHAT SECRET IS YOU CELL PHONE COMPANY KEEPING FROM YOU?
If you are worried about your privacy when you use your cell phone, you will want to read this article. Below is an excerpt from the article with a link provided to the complete article.
The secret your cellphone company doesn't want you to know.
by Kim Komando
"Recently, AT&T surprised everyone when it added a new option to
its GigaPower fiber Internet service: privacy. Yes, for just $29 more a
month, AT&T promises it WON'T sell your search and browsing history
to advertisers. How generous.
While there's still some doubt about how private your information is
even after you pay the $29, at least AT&T is being honest about how
it finances operations. The truth is, the major cellphone carriers are
more than happy to sell your information to advertisers and serve you
targeted ads over their networks.
I'm going to tell you how to stop them, and at the end I'll discuss
other ways carriers and advertisers are working to get your information."

SMILE FOR THE DAY - THE POUND OF DIRT
When I was a little kid back in the 50's, my grandmother always said, "A kid needs to eat a pound of dirt to stay healthy." Maybe she was right.
WHICH "INDUSTRY" HAS THE WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE?
And just think - we now have the FCC (government office) handling the internet!
