The Daniel Angle

I am posting this from my iPad.

It’s supposed to be about whatever crosses my mind, so what’s the deal?  Does nothing cross my mind for months on end?  I’m going to start posting more often.

…then get “How to Think Like a Computer Scientist”

then “Dive into Python 3″

then either “Learning Python” or “Beginning Python: from Novice to Professional”… or both!

Finally I found an image made possible by those new backscatter, x-ray, millimeter-wave, vertual strip search machines they have at airports.  this is what everyone is worried about.  http://www.rupture.co.uk/Terminal%204.html and http://www.rupture.co.uk/Self_portrait.html

I will post more soon.

Ok, so here is the story. During the senatorial primaries where the Democrats and the Republicans vote to see who gets to run for senator of the great state of South Carolina. As you guys know only one senator comes up for election at a time. This time, the incumbent, Jim Demint, a republican, is up for election. Demint wins his primary easily. The interesting part is the democratic primary.

Two guys run in the Democratic primary. One is a politician, Vic Rawl. He was a judge, a member of the house of representatives, and a member of the county council. Whatever. Typical lifetime politician. The other is Alvin Greene. Alvin is 32 years old. He graduated college with a degree in political science, and joined the army and left after 13 years in 2009 and has been unemployed. He currently lives with his father. There are a few other things, like he’s got felony charges pending against him, but none of that really matters.

Alvin ran for senator and did not campaign. He did not go to the meetings. He didn’t have any press conferences. He didn’t even try to win the race. But he won anyway. He got 100,053 votes and Vic Rawl got 69,645 votes.

How did a guy who didn’t even campaign, who wasn’t even known to the people who voted for him win a freaking election???? 100,053 people voted for this guy.

This is why America is doomed. People elected a guy who they never even heard of. Over 100,000 people actually chose this man to be their senator. They have no idea who this guy is. They don’t know his positions. This is the Senate people! The state only has 2 senators! This is a powerful position!

Why did they do it? One article I read says it was because his name was first on the ballot, or because “Vic Rawl had money, but he didn’t have enough. He wasn’t able to identify himself with black voters,” Ford said. “No white folks have an ‘e’ on the end of Green. The blacks after they left the plantation couldn’t spell, and they threw an ‘e’ on the end.”

It’s disappointing that it is this easy to destroy America. It’s too late. Most people don’t even vote and the ones who do vote are nothing but sheeps and cows. They vote for a guy who they never even heard of just because his name is first on the ballot or they think he must be black because of his last name.

It’s over folks.

Is anyone in Washington trying to figure out who caused the financial crisis?  When the financial crisis first started happening there were a few people trying to throw blame around, but others were saying, “When your house is on fire you try to put it out, you don’t try to figure out how it happened first.”

Well, it’s been a long time since the crisis started, we’ve bailed out big corporations to the tune of over a trillion dollars and no one is being held responsible.  Nor has anything has changed regulatorily.
