"The Cream of the Master's Crop."

A comment to Google about "why are these results not satisfying to you?":
"You searched for 'The Cream of the Master's Crop.'."

"Please list which site or sites were irrelevant."
Are you serious? You guys have been "shopped". Do a search on "The Cream of the Master's Crop." -- a phrase found in a Wikipedia article on Bennett Cerf. You will see 107 (last count) entries listed -- the first is the actual article from Wikipedia. The other 106 are fishing pages that bear a reference to the same wikipedia article - in its entirety.
"Why were they irrelevant?
Because Google is a "tool"? Not in the "good" sense - something useful, but in the "you've been used" sense... much like a "party girl" would be 'used" by a fraternity in college. Disgusting then, not pretty now.
Evolution - In the beginning, there were search engines - and it was good. Then came the first serious use of the net - marketing and commerce! Then came page seeding - burying key words in pages, often in white space, to trick search engines into serving up wrong pages to un-suspecting web-searchers. And the bacteria and single-celled creatures thrived. Results became useless, and the future was dark -- the first Black Plaque of The Net. Then came algorithms and page analysis. Salted search terms were ignored, and the web became useful again. Then came the Giants. Small search engines became obviated. The Giants slaughtered them by the dozens, nay, but by the hundreds, by the thousands... The Giants became super useful! You could find EXACTLY what you wanted, refining searches, limiting results to sites or types of site, tailoring your search and thus your results. And of those Giants, one stood tall above the others -- seeing over the heads of those and those to come. This was because of powerful, secret SEAs... Search Engine Algorithms. But the bacteria survived, single-celled organisms became more complex - SEOs that got inside the SEAs and passed useless genes in, infecting the results. Search engine results again became useless, as pages were fed using techniques to game the system... search results became fat and empty, filled with germs and putrescence. SEAs evolved, and the future looked bright! Knowledge -- useful knowledge -- flourished. Cells bonded together, organisms evolved, man stood upright. Wikipedia was born! Knowledge, crystalizing. Wikipedia was not immune to germs, but it had a strong defense system - macrophages, which would scourge the articles, and clean, and wrestle unfact and untruth from them. Huzzah! Then, evolution again showed... parasitic organisms stitching good cells from Wikipedia into themselves and injecting themselves through the cell walls of the mightyest Giant -- redering it weak and ineffectual again. A danger time. This infection will pass, as the Giants system evolves to fight the invader, but for now, web uses will notice aches and pains, increated temperature and tempers, as the system fills with invading germs.

Rumors of my un-timely passing...

I won't quote Mark Twain (or Samuel Clemmens, for that matter). Just suffice it to say, I've spent the last year "dead" for tax purposes.


A whole year - and more - has gone by since my last blog post... ah, blame it on the economy. Or sunspots. Or the economy. When Jott went subscription-only (dropping the limited "free accounts"), I lost my most powerful link to maintaining my blog. No longer could I call in from the road with quips, little gems and observations, viral ideas, brilliant diamonds of genious. Nope. No more. I still have them -- in fact, when it comes to brilliant diamonds of genious, I am steenking reech! But I can't mine diamonds on the road... too much traffic, too high gas prices.


And, when I'm finally tethered, I can't mine or refine or add sparkling facets, there's just not enough time. Scribbled notes on index cards takes attention away from necessary things like avoiding cars and semis, earning a living, sleep... Gems are lost. Riches, un-realized, are just... nothing.


How about THAT for another "back in the saddle" attempt at resurrecting the zombie blog? Heh.


Let me see if I can remedy the sitch for a day...

OK, I'll share a secret with you... politicians disgust me. Well, yeah, pretty much all of them, but especially Democrat politicians.

They're not above name calling, lying, or being hypocrites.

They love to call Republicans names. They love to call those who follow the Tea Party principles names. They love to marginalize, segregate, foment discord and discontent, and they're generally bad in bed, also.

They were back at it again, last week and the weeks before, and the weeks before that.

The latest is, Republicans Are Terrorists, and They're Holding America Hostage.

Now, I've always prided myself on being pretty smart and not too smug, logical yet not un-feeling, sypathetic unless you're purposely being pathetic, and patient unless you're just down-right stupid and refuse to larn ya anythin!

At the last nerve, I just give up... I've gone from sympathy, earnestness, willingness to share knowledge and fact, and calm discussion, to outrageous truth-telling.

When it was "gunz are eevil, gunz are BAAAD", I was all, "well, let's look at this... here's the 2nd Amendment, here's what it's for, here's what it really says, and here's why you should support it...". Many people listened. Some understood. Some even changed their minds and saw clearly. Others... well, lets just say that they didn't... they couldn't hold a cogent argument, they couldn't do anything other than spout the twaddle spoon-force-fed them by the media elitists, and they didn't want to think.

At that point, I just told the truth. It wasn't pretty. But I wasn't invested in them at that point. They proved that they were mind-less drones, and what's more, they liked it.

Well, I am feeling that way again. Many of you have tried reasoning with politicians, pointing out their false beliefs, their bad behaviour, their detrimental actions... and they ignored you. They talked over you. They shunned you. They ridiculed you. And they perpetuated their bad behaviour.

It's time to tell the truth. When they say something stupid or outlandish, don't bother with pointing out the truth to them or arguing the facts... they're brain dead to truth.

The most recent bad behaviour is the standard old "conservatives are (fill in the blank with most ignorant, slanderous, libelous insults you can think of)". So, let's call names back, and tell the truth.

Democratic politicians are racist (race-baiting), dead beat, check-kiting, abusive, bullying, misery loving -- for others, hypocritical, selfish, two-faced, lying, pimping, baby-killing rapists and slavers.

And when they say that you're mean and unfair, you can point out the individual behaviours that uphold those facts...

They don't care that they are enslaving Americans mentally or fiscally. They don't mind race-baiting, or telling minorities that they are substandard, stupid, incapable losers. They purposely use fear and intimidation against Americans, lying and misleading them in order to manipulate the populace. They don't care if American goes bankrupt, they thrive of chaos and do their best to increase it. They say one thing one week, and then claim the exact opposite -- unless they're caught, then they claim that they were against it before they were for it, and for right now they're against it again, but check back at 11:00pm. They support abortion-on-demand and oppose parental notification. They encourage age-inappropriate sexual contact and fight parental involvement. They are for eminent domain, seizure without compensation, forced labor, and saddling generations to come with inescapable debt. They are bad bookkeepers, bad money managers, and have bad breath and bad posture. They reward bad behaviour and have no sense of responsibility. The list can go on and on.
Why reason? Tell the truth.
