The Maelstrom has MOVED

I haven’t been fully satisfied with some of WordPress.com and its features. It is way too limited for many of the things that I want to do with The Maelstrom, and with that said, I have moved this blog to:

thisismaelstrom.blogspot.com

I am really hoping that this change will make my blog grow and also be able to add more and better features for your enjoyment! This is definitely for the better!

Please make sure all you regular readers to delete your subscription to this address and change it over to the one above.

Thanks!

Public Believe Media Hurting Palin

According to a recent Rassmussen poll report, the American public 10 to 1 believes that the media is biasly and prejudicely attacing Palin to hurt her politically. 24% of US voters said that these reports make them want to vote for McCain.

For Republicans it is 80 to 6 percent, for Democrats its 28 to 4 percent, and unaffiliated voters are 49 to 5 percent all believing that the media is attacking Palin. Only 5% of the public believed that the media was trying to help Palin.

This just goes to show that the public is not as stupid as the media believes it to be and will not buy into everything they feed them. It also shows that the media could really shoot Obama in the foot politically. If you scour the comments on most news websites, you will find several people upset with the media establishment. More and more people are getting frustrated with how bias, tasteless, and shallow the news is becoming. The public is noticing and I think that if the news doesn’t pick up on this and soon, they could seriously hurt their credibility. Too often does America gun for the underdog, especially if they notice something foul in the information they have been fed by the media.

Abhorrent, Despicable, Deplorable, and Monstrous!

Who are you people?

All I see through-out the blogosphere is the most detestable and despicable attacks I have ever read. All this wicked gossip about Palin and the slander that is being spread needs to stop immediately. It has gone way too far and is absolutely monstrous! I don’t care if you don’t agree with the GOP, McCain, Palin, Bush, or whoever! You at least have the dignity and respect to treat them like human beings. Here we have both the DNC and the RNC talking about how America comes first, how being an American is more important than party lines, and yet the American people can’t even get passed it! We can’t follow suit to what our leaders try to tell us to do. We are the most rebellious and deplorable generation, spitting on the people who lead us. Who do you think you are?

I am seriously disgusted. Spreading these attacks against Palin is just as awful as all the terrible rumors spread against Obama. I don’t care what side you are on, I don’t care if you just can’t stand either platform, you respect who they are and you treat them with dignity. Both sides just need to stop immediately, before politics leads down an even more terrible road than it already is on.

Obaminomics

Contradiction.

That is the best way to explain his economic plan. He talked about a lot of spending, but then cutting a huge chunk of taxes. He told people that when they get knocked down they have to get back up again, but then he chastised government for not helping people when they fall down. He talked about individual responsiblity but then said we have to be accountable to each other, and so on and so forth.

Personally, I think the taxes issue is the worst. It sounds great to cut taxes and also to start pumping tons of money into the economy, but that isn’t going to help right now. We don’t need The Great Society, but that is what people want to hear. I think we are really going to have to listen carefully to what Obama wants to do with our economy because I am definitely not sold by that speech. It will be interesting to hear the debates that they will have in the upcoming months.

Life is Strange When you Become Afraid of Foam

It’s no revelation that the internet has become to my generation what the TV was to my parents.

With that said, I tend to use “Stumble Upon” to surf the internet for random websites to enjoy, because sometimes it’s hard to find a website on your own. In any case, I fell (or stumbled) upon a website that was probably the creepiest thing I’ve seen in awhile, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t have its level of hilarity as well. No, I won’t tell you what the website is about because then you wouldn’t get the same surprise as I did, but I will say that it does involve foam. And, to be totally honest, I am more afraid of the guy that made this than the actual work.

P.S. Apparently, it is supposed to be “art”, but if we are really honest with ourselves we most definitely would not call it that.
