commence rant now.
So, I wanted to post a video of British troops beating up Iraqi children (yeah, you heard me. KIDS!) but it had been flagged on youtube. The video made me sick and I couldn’t believe it didn’t get more coverage. Anyway, because it was flagged I had to log into youtube. No big deal, right? But when I tried to log into my account that I’ve had forever I couldn’t log in. It was like my account didn’t exist. So I tried to set up a new one but the only way you can sign up is if you have a gmail account. I don’t have a gmail account and don’t want one. Don’t get me wrong I love google search but just handing over my email account info to them is something I won’t do willingly. I might as well just forward all my emails to the government. But all of this brought up a whole other issue of censorship. Because some people found the content of the video offensive (as they should in said video) people are now blocked from being able to spread the word about real issues unless they give into google. The link for video is bellow. Just a heads up this video is hard to watch. The audio is very disturbing.

How To Use Gold And Silver To Get Rich On Inflation
I wanted to start doing this back in 2006 when gold was $600 an oz. but I didn’t. Now gold is $1,400 an oz. 5 years later and I still haven’t started. Guess what I’m spending my tax return money on. Silver. Gold is too rich my blood now that I’ve waited so long but Silver is still cheap. You can get 40 oz.’s for the price of 1 oz. of Gold. As Gold goes up, so does Silver. It’s a slower boat but it will still get you to where you want to go.

Gas and food prices are about to go though the roof if the Fed can’t get something figured out soon.

This is what's been on my mind lately.
Let me start by saying this video is very alarmist but they bring up some very REAL problems that I think everyone should be critically thinking about. If you think the government is going to get us out this, they can’t. If you think the banks will show mercy on us, your wrong. Just look at what the banks do when YOU overdraft YOUR bank account.

Bill Murray Will See You Now
How about Garfield? Can you explain that to me? Did you just do it for the dough?
No! I didn’t make that for the dough! Well, not completely. I thought it would be kind of fun, because doing a voice is challenging, and I’d never done that. Plus, I looked at the script, and it said, “So-and-so and Joel Coen.” And I thought: Christ, well, I love those Coens! They’re funny. So I sorta read a few pages of it and thought, Yeah, I’d like to do that. I had these agents at the time, and I said, “What do they give you to do one of these things?” And they said, “Oh, they give you $50,000.” So I said, “Okay, well, I don’t even leave the fuckin’ driveway for that kind of money.”
And it’s not like you’re helping out an indie director by playing Garfield.
Exactly. He’s in 3,000 newspapers every day; he’s not hurtin’. Then this studio guy calls me up out of nowhere, and I had a nice conversation with him. No bullshit, no schmooze, none of that stuff. We just talked for a long time about the movie. And my agents called on Monday and said, “Well, they came back with another offer, and it was nowhere near[$50,000.” And I said, “That’s more befitting of the work I expect to do!” So they went off and shot the movie, and I forgot all about it. Finally, I went out to L.A. to record my lines. And usually when you’re looping a movie, if it takes two days, that’s a lot. I don’t know if I should even tell this story, because it’s kind of mean. [beat] What the hell? It’s interesting. So I worked all day and kept going,“That’s the line? Well, I can’t say that.” And you sit there and go, What can I say that will make this funny? And make it make sense? And I worked. I was exhausted, soaked with sweat, and the lines got worse and worse. And I said, “Okay, you better show me the whole rest of the movie, so we can see what we’re dealing with.” So I sat down and watched the whole thing, and I kept saying, “Who the hell cut this thing? Who did this? What the fuck was Coen thinking?” And then they explained it to me: It wasn’t written by that Joel Coen.
Our favorite bit from GQ senior editor Dan Fierman’s electric Q+A with Bill Murray from August 2010, which the very excellent Longform.org just picked as one of year’s five best interviews. If you ask us, it’s one of the one best interviews of 2010, but we’re biased because we love Bill Murray, and Dan’s OK too. (Also: how bout that great Daniel Clowes illustration, huh?)](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ld48brYtNV1qe6vsbo1_400.jpg)

The people who brought you the crack epidemic, Bay of Pigs, Iran-Contra, and the J.F.K. assassination now want you! I’ve heard they have a great retirement plan. Just ask this guy.

This is my favorite animator of all time Don Hertzfeldt. I watched his for as a kid but didn’t know his name. It wasn’t intel I saw his work on the Pop Tarts commercials that decided to look him up. His stuff is amazing!
