THE SLEDGE-A-TORIAL: Laughable Liberals!



Twitter: https://twitter.com/SLEDGEATORIAL

It's hard to deal with being a progressive liberal. ESPECIALLY when those who are supposed to "represent" you in the mainstream are such idiots.

In this edition of the SLEDGE-A-TORIAL, Chris "Sledge" Douglas discusses the issues surrounding MSNBC, Melissa Harris-Perry, and Barack Obama.

THE SLEDGE-A-TORIAL: Of Internet "Celebrities" and Special Snowflakes


By: Chris "Sledge" Douglas



You know, I typically stay far away from Internet drama... especially that of "Internet Celebrities." Normally, I've got so much going on in my OWN life, including running my own business for it to even make a blip on my radar.

But, thanks to the InternetAristocrat on YouTube, I feel I need to say something.

Now, the aforementioned Aristocrat did a fine enough job covering the generalities of how stupid and ridiculous the general reaction to this issue is that I don't feel the need to retread what he said.

Oh yeah... what am I talking about? This.

So apparent "Internet Celebrity" Nash Grier made a video with his friends about what they found attractive.

That's it.

They made such CONTROVERSIAL statements as:

- They like girls with personalities.
- They like girls who are independant.
- They like girls who don't look like savage woodland creatures.

It's normal vapid teenage bullshit.  And as I said, under any other circumstance, I would not have said a damn thing.  I would have just ignored it.

But then, fellow "Internet Celebrity" Hank Green piped in.

THE SLEDGE-A-TORIAL: Yakuza Has Homeless Clean Up Fukushima, Japanese Gov't Looks Away


By: Chris "Sledge" Douglas



When you are responsible for one of the worst nuclear disasters in history, the best thing to do is to have the homeless clean it up.

Yes. This IS happening.

THE SLEDGE-A-TORIAL: No, Seriously... Did Obama Really Deserve To Win The Nobel Peace Prize?







By: Chris "Sledge" Douglas


So, it's been a while, eh?

Let's see... what's everybody talking about today...  China is trying to land something on the moon?  Nah.  Protests in Thailand?  Nope!

Wait a minute... that's wierd.  There's this video on NDTV, an Indian news channel... and I recognize this woman.  That's Susan Sarandon.  Ok, let me check this out...

THE SLEDGE-A-TORIAL: The Ballad of Teddy Cruz



Once upon a time, there was a politician by the name of Rand Paul. He garnered much attention for his filibuster, the first time in ages when an ACTUAL filibuster happened, despite the countless procedural activities labeled 'filibuster' done by our representatives and senators. He actually stood and talked for hours for the purpose of preventing something from passing.

While there are many key areas where I disagree with Mr. Paul, his stance against drone usage and constant warfare is something I do agree with.

Mr. Paul's activity was widely noticed by both the mainstream press and the public at large. But someone else noticed him... Ted Cruz

The SLEDGE-A-TORIAL - Abu Ghraib Injustice Made Even Worse



By: Chris "Sledge" Douglas

So you remember THIS right?  Well, in case you don't, back in 2004 these horrific photos surfaced basically confirming that, on top of our then-secret indefinite detention policies, indeed torture was being used against prisoners at Abu Ghraib.  I remember this very well, because the news broke as I was visiting Japan for the first time.  Contractor CACI International executed the practice, and the prisoners eventually sued.

The SLEDGE-A-TORIAL - $172k Not Enough for a Congressman?





Well, I'm not exactly surprised, but yet I still feel the need to discuss this.  According to the National Review, during a closed-door meeting to discuss a potiential bill to exempt lawmakers and their staff from the ACA (Obamacare), at some point, Georgia Representative Phil Gingrey (R) brought up the following:

The SLEDGE-A-TORIAL - To Mr. McCain...



THIS is how seriously our overlords in Washington D.C. take the idea of going to war...


UPDATE: In John Kerry's address about Syria some days ago (citation to come later), he made the following remarks about John McCain.  According to Kerry, McCain would often say:

A war not joined is a war not enjoyed.

Seriously, fuck you once again.

The SLEDGE-A-TORIAL: No 'Peer Review' Needed for Science!

A lot of people are upset about the size of the budget these days. But people can't seem to decide what exactly is the "discretional spending" that can be excised without much trouble or fervour.

This man, Representative Lamar Smith...



...who, judging by this picture, barely realizes where he is, thinks that we spend WAY TOO MUCH on National Science Foundation, mainly on research that doesn't supposedly "meet national priorities."

The SLEDGE-A-TORIAL - Scumbag Watch - Mike Huckabee and The AFA

I'm sure I don't need to preface this article with anything having to do with Adam Lanza and the Newtown, CT incident. What happened there was absolutely horrendous, and should never have happened.

But that's not going to stop some people from taking advantage of it.

The SLEDGE-A-TORIAL - Of Web Traffic and Pyramid Schemes, Part 1

<div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://sledgecorpproductions.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-sledge-torial-master-list.html"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5ezq6xM-tZKlX5dp_oEgPAJadguiWKcy6mmRcWvJVY43f-3kwt6JxKJx8uIqihF6LcQMe-d_E9QS9XU-m5V6wdu2PHwdwyIjB_1sd2iuRlpWaVbKx2PPQFICPQA6a_Mt-Bop52UPY5QoR/s200/moneymoneydollahdollah.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So, yeah... I don't need to tell you that we're living in extremely tough times. We have tons of people out of work, and&nbsp;a government where both political parties are making sure that the criminals who caused our mess are getting off not only scott-free, but richer as well.&nbsp; People are getting desperate, and the more scummy people out there are here and ready to take advantage of this.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;One such way to do this is to offer the ellusive "you do nothing, yet earn crazy money" scheme. Examples of these include, but are not limited to pyramid schemes, or multi-level marketing.&nbsp; They offer you a "path" to the most money with the least work. It's all a scheme, of course; there's NO such thing as easy money.&nbsp; But in desperate times, people make desperate decisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; And the following group that I will discuss is one such scheme, or at least it seems to be.&nbsp; Their niche is "web-traffic generation."&nbsp; They say that you'll be making thousands of dollars a month if only you would follow their super simple formulas.

One caveat, though... I cannot reveal who this group is.

Why not???

Well... because they sometimes advertise on our sites.&nbsp; And I've always been about taking the money of scumbags.

Well, here are my thoughts as I watched their "REVOLUTIONARY WEB-TRAFFIC GENERATING TIPS."&nbsp;&nbsp; Follow along with me so that you don't get duped.

*NOTE: <i>This series is going to be in a very "stream-of-consciousness" style... basically my thoughts as they occur to me. If you don't like that kind of thing, well... fuck you.</i>*

<!--more-->Music is very hip hop themed... he has a very obvious hispanic accent... that and all this "bling" display; mansion, car, stacks of money (YES, HE LITERALLY GOES TO A BANK AND WITHDRAWS STACKS OF CASH, AND THEN SPREADS IT OUT ON HIS DESK)...&nbsp;This is NOT AT ALL designed to get at what he must consider a vulnerable urban audience, no?

After about an hour of showing me his "mad dough" and fancy horseless carriage...

"3 pillars" of high traffic academy scheme

Have to generate fast (That'd be nice)
Has to be scalable (maybe indication of pyramid scheme)
Has to be consistent (Duh!)

How do we do it? Ah, you have to buy it.&nbsp; Of course.

Pay traffic is the ONLY one to focus on? All the rest are junk?

No shortage of it, you say?

No article marketing? No SEO? Starting to sound like bullshit...

So, in order to generate, you have to advertise,&nbsp; huh. Didn't know that! Please, DO TELL!

Mystery word? Campaign. Ooookay
.
Sell somebody else's product?&nbsp; Huh?

Do it together?&nbsp; No thanks.

Oh, we have steps... here we go:

Step 1: Find something to sell
This is looking worse and worse...

[website link]... what the hell is this?
OH, this IS a crazy affiliate thing... Commissions? fuck you.

No WONDER you want me to do this at the same time... you'll prob get some money off of that.

OH IT'S MY HOMEWORK! I have to create an account!&nbsp; Fuck this and fuck you dude.

He has nothing to sell... RIGHT NOW. This looks promising.

Wait... that's it? No step 2??? OH THAT'S RIGHT. I gotta continue one this path before I reach that pot of internet gold, I suppose.

So, you may have noticed that there wasn't really much of substance written here.  That's mostly because there wan't really much of substance presented. The first half of the video was just him tantalizing the viewer with images of his wealth, with LIBERAL doses of pie-in-the-sky statements like "its so easy," "it's [making money] like turning on a switch," and so on.

I'll be back with a review for the next videos in the series, if they send them.

UPDATE: Oh joy.  I have indeed recieved the next one.  This should be fun.

Catch ya.

The SLEDGE-A-TORIAL - People Getting Hurt - Yard tards


Hehe!  Love the old school late-90's style opinion board banners, corny as they (especially this one) may be...



Anyway, the Sledge-A-Torial has been very serious as of late.  I've discussed everything from a startling report on moneyed interests in lawmaking, to a woman who was sent to prison for NOT killing her abusive husband.  Yessir, the Sledge-A-Torial has indeed been a bit too dark lately.  That's all about to change tonight.  For now, at least.

The SLEDGE-A-TORIAL: Florida's "Stand Your Ground" Law Apparently Not Applicable to All


Marissa Alexander, in prison since 2010 for defending herself.


We all remember the Trayvon Martin case, right?  A kid, carrying only a can of iced tea and a pack of Skittles, shot and killed by an overzealous neighborhood watcher, George Zimmerman.  A guy who was later NOT EVEN ARRESTED, and was apparently protected under Florida's "Stand Your Ground" defense, which allowed killing if you, "reasonably believe that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to (yourself) or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony." (Re: 2011 Florida Statutes 776.016 (1))

Remember that?  It was only plastered all over the news a month or two ago.

Well, apparently it isn't applied equally to all.

In Jacksonville, Florida, one Marissa Alexander, nine days after the birth of a child, was fleeing from her husband Rico Gray.  She ran to the garage, but the door was jammed, so Marissa grabbed a pistol to defend herself.  Upon seeing this, Rico threatened to kill her.  Marissa, determined to scare him off, fired upwards.  It did indeed scare him off, but the incident landed HER in jail, awaiting a sentence of 20 years in prison for "aggravated assault with a deadly weapon."  Having been in jail since 2010, she had since tried to use the "Stand Your Ground" defense to get herself out, only to be denied. (Huffington Post)

Why is that?  Why was she denied this, while Zimmerman (at least until the media frenzy) was allowed to be free?  Was it a time thing, having been arrested before the law was enacted?

Her husband admitted in deposition that he had been in five relationships that bore children, and he "put his hands" on all except one.  How is SHE the one getting punished? HE ADMITTED THAT HE IS ABUSIVE. How can a guy, in Zimmerman, be allowed to be free for RUNNING AFTER A KID AND SHOOTING HIM, while someone else who DIDN'T kill their attacker, who was RUNNING AWAY, CLEARLY IN FEAR OF HER LIFE, but still didn't kill her attacker, being kept in prison in a mandatory 20 year sentence?

How does that work Florida?  HOW DOES THAT FUCKING WORK?

The SLEDGE-A-TORIAL - Economic Advantage and Legislative Action

Did you ever get the feeling that THEY aren't listening to you? Ever feel that your government representative, be it senator, house member, or even president isn't listening to you AT ALL? Well, you're not alone.  I found the following recently, and quite frankly, it's FASCINATING.
