Earth Screams

Wednesday, April 11th, 2012

The point’s well intentioned, but the results are lousy. (I’m just learning new software.)

 

 

 

For those interested in technical stuff, the bottom rock is cut from a stock photo. The main rock is one left from when we had an aquarium. I photographed it from various angles and decided this one looked like a raptor screaming. That’s what gave me the idea. I cleaned it up in Photoshop, then ran Alien Skins “Eclipse” filter on it. I created the video in VideoCanvas. Powerful program, but it takes some learning. Obviously! :-)

 

CCA’s dirty money talks, and the politicians listen

Wednesday, April 11th, 2012

Even those who are relatively good guys can sometimes do bad things.

The SCOTUS tells us that corporations are people. If that’s so, then what kind of “person” is CCA? Judging from their record, CCA is a very, very evil “person.” See this and this and this, for example.

What politician would even consider taking tainted money from such a person? As a Democrat and a lifelong Floridian, I’m ashamed to say that two who have done so are Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Bill Nelson.
