Full Disclosure

The FTC has announced that it will require bloggers to reveal any remuneration they receive in exchange for a favorable mention of a product.

I want to make it clear that this is not and has never been a problem for me. I have never been offered any remuneration for anything written in my blog.

Ever.

For example, consider that wonderful Blu-ray player I’ve had my eye on – you know, the Samsung BD-P4600 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player.

Let me see if I can rattle off a few of its amazing features - just of the top of my head:

• Plays Blu-ray high-definition discs (selectable output resolution: 1080p/1080i/720p signals available through HDMI output only)
• Built-in audio decoding to PCM for Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD and DTS-HD Master Audio Essential
• Netflix video and Pandora music streaming (subscriptions to these services required)
• Wi-Fi capable (includes wireless USB adapter)
• Wall-mountable (includes wall-mount hardware)

But one again let me make it clear. I am in full compliance with the FTC new rules for bloggers.

Samsung has never offered to give me a P4600.

Yet.

People's

I was sitting in fast food restaurant in Eastern Connecticut a week or so ago when I looked out the window at the mall across the street and was startled to see this disturbing sign:

"People's United Bank".

Well, that's it, I thought. The Obama plan to turn the country Socialist has finally come to fruition.

Upon further investigation my friends at Google and I discovered these corporate entities:

• People's United Financial, Inc.
  
• People's Bancorporation, Inc.
  
• People's Educational Holdings, Inc.
  
• The People's Gas Light and Coke Company
  
• Music For Little People
  
• People's Drug Mart
  
• People's Garment Public Company Limited
  
• People Magazine
  

And the list goes on and on!

The remarkable thing is that so many of these "People's" companies are banks and investment firms. Banks and investment firms are supposed to be about Capitalism. What the hell does that have to do with The People?

A couple of these are far more disturbing than the others.

That one called "Music For Little People" sends shivers down my spine. Once the government gets its hands on our music and our kids, well, turn out the lights, the party's over.

And what about "The Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company"?

What are we going to do when the government takes over our light and soft drinks?

All I can say is God help you if you drink Pepsi, Comrade.

Obama-dental

There has been so much discussion about the president's health care reform that not much attention has been paid to the dental component.

There is one disturbing feature. Apparently the plan will pay for a consultation with a dental professional so you can "plan" your dental care. These so-called "Tooth Panels" will decide who gets a filling and who doesn't.

I'm sorry, but that sounds like something they might do in England. Have you seen their teeth? Courtesy of the National Health!

Come on, people. We've got to nip this in the bud!

Let's not pull the teeth on Grandma!
