This has been an unusual long week and I am drained.
Even my eyes are tired. So as to not strain my eye to
much I shall keep it brief. Snow storms are pounding
the middle of the country. Here it's raining so I will
just unwind. Enjoy your weekend.

So as I watched the President give his State of the Union
speech last night I thought "Wow, he is talking right to me."
In the first two minutes he said he understood people were
tired of the Bull. Tired of partisanship. Tired of all the bickering.
Man that is so me. I have gotten to the point where I am sick
of watching anything from America calling itself News. On a
local level maybe but for the Big Picture I look to the BBC.
Here in the U.S. they are to busy wondering when Paris is
going to do another sex tape with a chihuahua. Or if Gerard
Butler can still fit in his Spartan togs. The republicans [I purposely
left it uncapitalized] should be ashamed of themselves. The
State of the Union address is the task of the President of the
United States, not the task of the newly elected tool of a
governor of Virginia. I understand giving both sides of the story
but these talking heads push there own agenda and look for
people they can go into agreement with. You trying to tell me if
the republican candidate had been elected anything would be any
better? Horsesheet. One year ago the idiot-crisy was calling for
an end to GW Bush. Now they want to renew his tax cuts for the
wealthy that just months ago they were bitchin' about. People
need to get behind the man and his plan. If one more clown tells
me it's too ambitious I'll nail 'em. We are suppose to be ambitious.

Tonight in America the President gives his State
of the Union speech. He has been in office for one
year so the "report cards" are coming in from the
talking heads to the pundits. 61% of people who voted
for him are not for him now. These peeps feel he let them
down. Didn't keep his campaign promises. Personally
when I hear a campaign promise I always say "sure,
like that's going to happen". I never believe any. I have
watched this happen since Nixon so I know of what I
speak. So if you thought it was just a matter of getting
him in office to get what you wanted think again. No
matter who is the President he gets all the problems that
already existed and more. To the 61% I can only say
give it time. Oh and you wanted change, well that's all
you have. In your pockets.

Newspaper story links the Chinese to numerous hack
attacks across the U.S. The Chinese of course deny this.
Is it possible with so many people they are unaware of the
facts? In the last few months I noticed that there was at
times huge increases in listeners. Upon further investigation
it turns out the increase was coming from mainland China.
Turns out one address is passing it along to others in the
area. I have even been to the site but because I do not have
the correct Chinese fonts loaded I can't display the pages
properly. I don't speak Chinese or read it so it would be
useless. So  when I see one visit downloaded 25 gigs I
know somethings rotten. I also keep track of how many
attempted hacks on Rockcast itself. Since 2010 started, a
grand total of attempts, 2,283! By far the vast majority can
be traced back to,... you know where. So excuse me if I
tend to believe what I am reading here.
