Open thread for Sunday, October 14th: 1984 edition

October 14, 2012

 Here is the open thread for Sunday, October 14th; feel free to post links to interesting articles and to discuss whatever issues may arise during the course of the day.

  Yesterday the phone rang and the caller ID said simply ‘Big Brother.’ My initial thought was that this was creepy, someone named Big Brother is calling me before I realized it was the Big Brother, Big Sister organization looking for a donation of either time or money. I had a little chuckle at my own expense for my initial reaction, but it gave me the idea for today’s theme. Here is the movie trailer for the movie 1984:

    Maybe Orwell’s vision will be fullfilled by way of Agenda 21 by 2084.

    This is off topic: senate rare in NJ, Sen. Bob Menendez, the poverty pimp despised by his fellow Cubans is running ads trumpeting the millions he has brought to NJ for solar panel companies which translates into millions for China. His republican opponent Kyrillos’ ads tells of his commitment to fixing the economy and creating jobs working hand in hand with governor Christie. I will bet the farm that NJ goes for Menendez and Obama. Most people I speak with here declare that Romney will “take the money out if the country”. If anyone has a clue to what that means please share it with me.

      Nothing is off topic in thee open thread, everything is on the table. Most likely NJ will go for Obama, Christie’s election was probably a fluke but I am still hopeful people will see what he has done there and will decide to vote against Obama.

      HOpefully Romney will continue to hammer away at Obama this week starting tomorrow night at the debate. He cannot rest on his first debate performance, he needs to continue to take the offenive.

    With a shrinking pool of Americans, how much longer can we hold off “1984?”
