Lines between virtual worlds and reality are beginning to blur. First Watson, the IBM supercomputer beats the top two Jeopardy players ever, now an animated trailer for video games can make you cry.

This is a trailer for a video game being developed by Deep Silver for the PC, XBox360 and Playstation 3. The game is the human versus zombies type and the makers hit a cinematic home-run with the trailer for the video game.

After watching this trailer you will be left with two things...1- A longing to want to see a full movie done by whoever did the trailer.. 2- A bit misty-eyed, specially if you have kids.

The Republicans' plan to extend the Bush administration tax cuts for the wealthy would cost $36.6 billion more than the Democrats' plan. Data from the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation has shown that Families who's salaries exceed $1 million a year would enjoy close to $36 billion in tax breaks under the Republican tax plan in 2011, that will give each wealthy house hold an average tax cut of over $100,000

We Americans are so out of touch with what really matters that we are easily fooled. Because we are so out of touch, the right spin of the facts is consumed by the masses as the truth. Take for example the new republican pledge or the American perception that Obama has not fixed the economy fast enough.

The republican pledge.

Its just the same old tired republican ideology with a new cover and short memory Americans are eating it like the new invented policies that are going to save us.

Under president Bush our national debt went from 5 trillion dollars to 10 trillion dollars (thank you china for lending us all that money). So essentially we gave the very rich a tax cut with borrowed money that EVERYONE has to pay back, not just the very rich that got the surplus. Now part of the "new" republican pledge is to revive the tax cut to the very wealthy.

In a perfect world there will ONLY be Macs ... but as you may already have notice .... it is not a perfect world. When we went computer shopping, some of us didn't know enough about computers to stay away from a PC loaded with windows. Yet others knew about the problems with windows but found the cost of a Mac to be prohibiting.

In any event, now you are stuck with a Windows PC  and is working at a 10th of the rate that it did when you first got it; also you feel like there could be potential problems related to a computer virus, spyware, and rootkits.... Yes?

Well today is your lucky day. On this article I will show you a list with links of FREE programs that I  have been using for a while to clean and maintain all my PCS (Im stuck with 4). Some of these computer repair programs will not only clear your slow computer, they will work quietly in the background to prevent unwanted intrusions and virus infections.

1- CCleaner. (crap cleaner)

This freeware program is used for system optimization, privacy and cleaning your computer. After you have been on the web your computer system has thousands of files left behind by the websites you just visited. CCleaner removes these trash files, old unused files and internet history from your computer, thus allowing your Windows PC to run faster and freeing up tons of hard disk space.

In addition CCleaner brings a full feature registry cleaner. It's is also fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware!

Here are two cartoons by famed political cartoonist Mike Luckovich. The first one is his take on the present economic situation in the US and how the US public has forgotten how we got there.

The other cartoon is a clever take on the Tea party movement and how it backfired on the Republicans.

It looks like right-wing mouth piece Sean Hannity’s patriotic chants have made him more millions than anyone previously thought and that the way he made some of that money may be in direct conflict with the values he pushes on his TV program. Can this be true? Is Conservatism’s golden boy a big time con man bilking his fans?

Well Hannity created a charity called Freedom Alliance. This organization was described by Hannity, as a charity set up to help US soldiers injured in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and to help pay for college for their children. To raise money the Hannity and his charity held "Freedom concerts" where the performers  played free of charge  Hannity  also sent out thousands of letters asking for donations, and in those letters he made the promise  that 100% of the money raised would be used to help the soldiers and their children.

Here is a nice piece of news for those who still have doubts about the Fox news channel being nothing more than an outlet for the Republican party......Fox News' parent company recently cut a $1 million check to the Republican Governors Association... and how much for the democratic counter part? NOTHING.

It doenst  take a rocket scientist to realize in who's favor Fox will tilt their coverage of political elections. It is fair then to say that their coverage of the news is far from their claim of "fair and balanced"

For a long time conservatives have taken Christianity hostage, and sometimes in the heat of their self righteous rhetoric one may think that conservatives invented christian values......so have you stop to think what would Jesus be like if he was a Republican?

Well this cartoon from Mike Peter kind of illustrate it.

The Life That I Have

The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours

The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours.

A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours.
