Vladimir Putin “Blinkinblogs is my favorite read with glass of Vodka.”
Barack OBAMA “Blinkinblogs? Never heard of them.”
That is One Fat Nation »
Face it, the USA has become the fattest country on the Earth and apparently that is now causing trouble for the military. How?
“What we were finding was that the soldiers we’re getting in today’s Army are not in as good shape as they used to be,” said Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, who oversees basic training [...]
Main Stream Media Goes Conspiracy Theory »
Blinkinblogs covers lots of weird stuff, topics that even the writers from BB will debate amongst themselves. We have had some pretty epic verbal fisticuffs on BB on a few topics especially – almost all of those have the ability to have the stamp “Conspiracy Theory” attached to them. My thoughts on the term Conspiracy [...]
The Fed Considers a Change »
Apparently the Federal Reserve is considering changing a long standing policy they have of paying interest to Banks that store money with them. My understanding is Banks are required by law to store a percentage of their money with the FEderal Reserve, but until yesterday I had no idea that the Fed actually paid interest [...]
A Frank Deford Piece »
This is a piece by Frank Deford. It is from NPR.org. I felt the need to share it as I agree with every drop of it. In recent times the heroes we once looked up to in the sports world have managed to fall from grace with a groaning thud. Deford addresses each one of [...]
The World is Insane »
My Dog, Snickers, just turned 14 years old. This is not major news although not many dogs reach that age. No the issue here is what I received from his veterinarian. Let me state that the Vet we go to are saints. They are truly nice people who obviously care vastly about animals – apparently a [...]
Illegal to Blog? »
In Philadelphia, you know the city of brotherly love and what now – it will soon be illegal to blog without a license. Sound crazy? We think so too. Apparently that whole freedom of speech thing is more of a privilege and not really a right – at least in Philly. It will now cost bloggers who [...]
We have been out Snarked! »
Apparently the people over at Newsweek.com, a publication we refer to quite a bit here on Blinkinblogs.com, posted an article recently on the who’s who of the interweb snarky bloggers world – and we failed to make the list. No surprise here really as we aren’t nearly as popular as most of the blowhards on [...]
Facebook Launches “Places” Feature »
Today, Facebook made a much waited for announcement about their entry into the geo-location game. They’ve announced Places, with a focus on finding friends, checking in and building stories. They’ve partnered up with other exsisting companies that already play a major role in geo-location, like Gowalla, Foursquare and Yelp. Should be nice, now Facebook pages [...]
Killing is too Good for Her »
This lady killed her kids. She admitted it. Granted there will be a trial, as there “should be”, but she admitted that she murdered them and that she tried to cover it up. To quote msnbc.com “Investigators were not convinced when Duley said her sons, ages 2 years and 18 months, drowned after her car [...]
The Interweb – Narcissism at It’s Finest. »
The interweb started out as this way for various military and academic groups to collaborate on projects. It was a way for data, thoughts, and theories to be exchanged very quickly to further the expanse of knowledge and expedite its acquisition – prior to this happening people had to use Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) to do this [...]
Invisibility Technology »
So apparently some guys over at Tufts have managed to make a new form of invisibility technology in the form of silk cloth. Throughout the ages people have often wanted to be able to become invisible for many reasons, most of which are Women locker room oriented, and apparently these guys have a tech that [...]
The Tragedy of the Political Machine »
Since the Great Recession began the people of the Earth have been told in some fashion or another by some politician or another that things are going to get better. In fact there have been many decisions made in a fiscal fashion based on the concept that they will get better or that the very [...]
NEW: Blackberry Torch »
RIM, as of late, has been slacking in their smartphone game. I for one, haven’t been impressed by the BlackBerry OS 6 demo videos roaming the net, but the promise of a revamped UI and new, faster browser certainly got me interested. Here’s the review on Endadget. But honestly, RIM, I think you’ll have to [...]
Global Warming I Laugh at Thee »
Everybody knows that global warming is a scam. It has never been proven and there is nothing going on right now in the world that points to global warming being anything more than a marketing stunt. Sure the largest glacier to break free since 1962 just broke off of Greenland and is now floating its [...]
Spammer Hilarity – Deep Fried Spam for YOU! »
Get this – we have a Spam blocker with which we have blocked zillions of Spam comments in the past. This is not a new statement to the Blinkinblogs community as I have mentioned it many times. Recently we are getting this new type of Spam from angry spammers – I had to share it [...]
