GOPigs and the immigration debate?

Rep He came to my attention because of his stance on immigration  "Well, you are also talking about people that came over 16 years of age, At that point you had a say in it, and that looks more like amnesty. But you are looking at 12 and under people, it certainly looks -- I can understand that." I can't understand how someone that panders to the public get's elected.  This man clearly does not follow any moral code I learned growing in Texas either in church or in the fields.   A child is child is a child and all of them where expected to follow their parents right up in time the time they could live life the way their earnings afforded or age 18. Now the story got a bit more interesting when I visited Crooks and Liars  to learn more about Rep.  Farenthold. This is a picture taken of a GOP congressman from a pajama party that he used to raise funds.   Has the GOP become GOPigs.  ...

I blacked out one of the oldest site online today in protest of SOPA

If you visited our company site Altavoz.com today from 8am-8pm we blacked it out and if you knew the effort that I have expended to keep it online since May of 1995 and what this company does~  you would know that this is not just a symbolic act.  Now click our our company blog to read why. I know it's another blog, and that's the point it's something that I felt it's important to get a voice out from someone that has been in the music business since before the intertubes. So please click here to read more.. http://altavozdistroco.com/2012/01/18/why-we-blacked-out-altavoz-com/

CNN is censoring my post and reporting less then the wholestory

I want to call out CNN for censorship on their website.  CNN is been  falsely  reporting that Digital Music Sales are now more then Physical sales and this shoddy reporting is being repeated around the world because of it being posted on their website. http://money.cnn.com/2012/01/05/technology/digital_music_sales/?hpt=hp_t3 If they bothered to get the rest of the widely made available report of had someone doing one ounce of fact checking over there they would see that as Billboard and the rest of the world reported alone the lines of this.... "On the other hand, when consumers made the decision to buy the album configuration, which means track equivalent album sales are excluded, more than two-thirds of the time (or 68.7%), they chose to purchase the physical album, as opposed to the digital album download, which accounts for 31.1%, with the remainder being music videos." http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/record-labels/soundscan-s-year-end-charts-the-numbers-1005...
