Busy, Busy, Busy

* Yesterday I visited the "dark side" when I did a GOOGLE search for the so-called birther leader, Orly Taitz. Taitz, who is a dentist and online diploma mill law school graduate (she can only practice law in California!), has quite a following of loons, racists, and fringe groups. I read through the ignorant rants in the comment sections of the websites associated with Taitz. Orly Taitz and her followers are racists. Period. (Note: Taitz's online California diploma mill law school is NOT accredited by the American Bar Association.)

* Are you interested in getting involved in a boycott of Glenn Beck's advertisers? After Beck's recent racist attacks on President Obama, people wanted to do something to stop these horrible, verbal, anti-American rants from Glenn Beck. DailyKos has the complete information. MSNBC's Donnie Deutsch, a marketing and public relations genius, suggested a boycott of those advertisers who support Glenn Beck's racism. For the advertising list and contact info, visit the DailyKos link. I've already sent off my emails. Here is an excerpt from DailyKos:

...This was during Deutsch's new MSNBC show (filling in for David Schuster) that he co-hosts with Tamron Hall. He then listed some of the advertisers and asked that people contact them to complain about their support for Beck's appearances on Fox:

  • General Motors
  • Campbell Soup
  • Chrysler
  • Proctor & Gamble
  • Pfizer
  • Kellogg
  • Walmart
  • Kraft Foods
  • Nestle
Get busy letting these advertisers know how you feel!

* If you are looking for a new car and want to take advantage of the "cash for clunkers" federal program, check out the official government website, CARS.gov. You'll find the most accurate information.
