Bill Clinton’s Wee Willie Winks At Two Wondering Women

Just zip it, Mr. President.

For God’s sake, Grace, don’t look at him. And don’t you dare look down.

Here are some fond memories of Bill’s incorrigible past.

Mr. Zuckerberg Goes To Washington (Final Update)

by

It does appear that the “Interweb” and the “Brotherhood of the Facebook” do work in strange and mysterious ways.  If not for cached backup copies and screenshots, one would never know the subtleties of the “Zuckerberg Effect“.  In the “Mr. Zuckerberg Goes To Washington” series, I chronicled the apparent Facebook censorship of a less than flattering image of Mark Zuckerman – not a horrible image, but we shall say that he had some ‘eye issues’.

Facebook, upon being informed about their said abridgment of certain First Amendment rights, actually did something.  Changes were made to remove the “safe image” placeholders and the original images restored.

I will stress, however, that what to do to get changes from Facebook is a mystery with no clear path. Stumbling into the method of seeking corrections will not work for any of us in the future. Facebook has too much at stake to be accused of censorship, and the people it serves do not need to be censored.

Making it simpler to get corrections, and then informing when said corrections have been made, is a must.

BTW:  I’m going to use the original ‘offending’ image for the featured image of this post–any guesses as to whether this is really the Final Update to this series?

**The Zuckerberg Effect – In Social Networking Chaos Theory, the Zuckerberg Effect is the systematic obfuscation of data, images, concepts, beliefs, or behavior contrary to current sensitivities of the Technology ‘Masters of the Universe’ with the goal of making uncounted small incremental changes in the state of a deterministic nonlinear system called Freedom resulting in a transition to a state of Systemic Linear Control by elite Opinion Leaders.

CBS Minnesota reports, “Snowfall Begins In Southern Minn., Twin Cities”

The largest April snow event in Minnesota’s recorded history brought 13.6 inches. That was on April 14, 1983.

This year, April 14 could bring an event that eclipses that one, at least in the southwestern portion of the state.

WCCO meteorologist Molly Rosenblatt says that area is likely to see 8 to 15 inches of snow — or even as much as 18 inches — by Sunday evening. The situation in the Twin Cities isn’t necessarily much better, with anywhere from 7 to 10 inches likely.

Mr. Zuckerberg Goes To Washington (Updated)

by

In case you missed Mr. Zuckerberg’s 2 days of Congressional Hearing testimony – “I’ll have my team get back to you on that, Congressman….” Update:  an anecdotal test to determine if Mark Zuckerberg, or his “team” are so sensitive to criticism that they substitute ‘safe images’ for images, shall we say, that are critical of Zuckerberg.

This is the original Featured image from the post.

This is the image Mr. Zuckerman’s Facebook AI/Censors used to replaced the original post’s ‘Featured Image”.

This is the Screenshot of the resultant Facebook post. Here is a link to the original ThePublicEditor.com post.

And this is a Screenshot of the resultant Twitter post. Apparently, Twitter founder, Mr. Jack Dorsey, has fewer sensibilities regarding ‘memeing’ Mark Zuckerberg’s image than Facebook does.

Now we will test whether the “Safe Image” used was by ‘accident’ or by ‘design’.

NRA ‘Salesmen Of The Year’

The Washington Post reports, “Gun control debates create gun production booms, government data show.”

The data also shows episodic spikes of production and firearm sales when there’s the possibility of new federal gun-control policies. The two biggest years for gun production in recent history — 2013 and 2016 — came during intense debates about whether Democrats would be able to curb access to firearms such as the AR-15.

“Gun lovers have been convinced that their right to buy guns in general, or particular types of guns, would be taken away by the politicians and they better hurry up and get whatever guns they have considered obtaining,” said Philip Cook, professor emeritus of public policy studies at Duke University.
