Presidential Race: The Woman Factor

This is how I feel: Hillary Clinton is a wash. Why no one has reported on the fact that a huge number of Americans (male and female) still do not want a woman president is astounding. I believe it is because this is America’s dirty little secret…there are more sexists, more fundamentalists opposed to women leadership, and more just plain “no woman in the White House” thinkers than anyone has really addressed. That’s why she can work herself all the way to the Democrat’s pick and still fail the final cut.

Poll: How many Americans would never vote for a woman president?

Online Dating: New Site Asks For a Statement of Faith

In the spiritual realm of things, being equally yoked is huge! And no, it’s not about egg yokes, it’s about equating the yoke used in harnessing the power of two farming animals together in plowing or towing, to hitching up with someone “yoked”, as yourself, to Jesus.

Although you may find your future mate on a less stringent web site…the clearer and sooner it becomes known that the person you are interested in is walking with Jesus or not, the better! At least that’s my 2 bits!

Betray Us: MoveOn.org or HateOn.orgy?

TheScroogeReport investigates HateOn.orgy on charges of being intelligent and patriotic. The investigation begins with an excerpt from the internet-chatroom-success-story group’s “About Us” page.

This Week’s Top Scrooge - September 14, 2007

What is HateOn.orgy (MoveOn.org)?
The HateOn dysfunctional family of quasi-organizations brings real Americans (or Americans that love to really hate) back into the political process, i.e.; screaming in meetings of Congress, name calling to the nth degree, and general immature behavior. With over 3.3 million kool-aid drinking members across America – from carpenters to stay-at-home moms to business leaders (and from geeky bloggers to stay-on-the-couch dads to spoiled rich people) – we work together to realize the digressive promise of our country. HateOn is a “service” – a way for stressed-out but concerned global units to find their political voice in a system dominated by successful people and the Clinton News Network.

Blingo: Searching Your Way to Riches

Blingo is a search engine with a twist. Each search on Blingo is also a chance to win a prize. And guess what? It's powered by Google so you get the same high-powered searches. I'm not into gambling, but this doesn't really smack of it at all. No personal information is given other than your email address. I recommend bookmarking the search page and use it every time.

Blingo

This from AP:

TOO TRUE TO BE GOOD?

A handful of companies, however, are really giving users something for doing nothing by combining two of the most common reasons people use the Internet: searching and winning.

Exhibit A is the search engine Blingo.com, a site that recently entered Nielsen's list of the top ten visited gambling and sweepstakes destinations. Here you'll find the same search results that you'd get using Google, but with one key difference: Users who search at the times closest to secret, randomly selected milliseconds designated by the site each day will instantly earn a prize -- anything from a $5 gift certificate to a car to $20,000 in cash.

Better yet, it requires no personal information. All it takes is a mailing address -- after all, if you win something, they've got to have a place to send the goods, right?

"We're the white hat of this industry," says the company's founder, Frank Anderson of San Francisco.

Anderson, who previously helped launched the internet company iAmaze, came up with the idea to bring a prize element to search engines in 2004. Unlike most give-away sites, all Blingo's revenue comes from the advertisers who pay for the Google-generated small ads on the top and bottom of the pages.

The income, Anderson explained, is split between his company and Google (many sites, including AOL, use Google's search engines and split profits in the same way. Similar prize-offering search sites, like iWon.com, partner with other search engines in a similar manner).

In Blingo's case, a percentage of the company's profit share goes toward giveaways and prize money.

To date, he says, the site has given away close to a $1 million.

So, let's give it a whirl! Go to Blingo.com now!
