RE: A Little Help, Please?

I think I figured it out. Something was going on in the HTML. Let me know if it's still doing it.
Thanks.

A Little Help, Please?

My computer is being really spastic and is making my font look...weird. Sometimes it looks bigger, sometimes smaller, and I can't really tell what it ends up looking like to you guys. So if you notice the font's too small or changes size in the middle of a sentence, let me know so I can attempt to fix it.

Thanks!

LolCats
What would make you smile more than cute kitties with cute, misspelled quotes? Nothing! LolCats is probably one of the most adorable websites I've ever seen. People post pictures of their cats doing cute, silly things and have quotes spelled completely wrong. The ones I posted are just the beginning. There are hundreds of pictures and videos that will entertain you for hours. My little brothers love watching the videos and will stay quiet as long as they are playing. If you're ever down, just go there and you'll be better in seconds. Unless you don't like cats.

Research and Linking-Politics

I don't really care for politics all that much. I'm not very good at making my own opinions, which makes politics very difficult. Something somewhat political I do care about, however, is the Colbert Report. He makes politics fun. So I found a blog about him.
COLBERT2008
Simmons, the blogger, has a lot of different things to do with Colbert, like polls, quotes, and other things to keep us up to date with Colbert for President. One of his older posts, actually, is 101 Greatest Stephen Colbert Quotes. Colbert is probably the funniest and greatest political type people I've ever known.

Another blog I found was...
mediagirl
Media Girl is a blog by and for women (and men, too) to discuss, rant, blog, analyze, and/or laugh about media, politics and culture. It touches a lot on feminism as well. The latest posts have been, of course, about the presidential elections. It's a very open site that allows anyone to speak their mind about politics, not just in the U.S., but world wide.

The OC #1-Targeting

After reading about the "demeaning ad" from Target, I got quite frustrated with them. Though the picture itself didn't really bother me, (I don't find it demeaning, but I guess, if you don't get it the first time you look at it, it would seem that way.) the way Target handled it was unacceptable. They need to actually listen to their customers and treat them with respect or they'll be losing a lot of money. And not using the technology we have today and the sources out there to talk to and hear from your customers is just stupid. Grow up and stop being so close-minded.

RRR-Pt.2:The Tipping Point-Chapter 1

The 80/20 thing I found very interesting and, once I thought about it, made a lot of sense. It's not like there are, say, 100,000 criminals that do an equal amount of killing. 20,000, probably less, do the majority of the murders/crimes and the other, 80,000 commit small, petty crimes. There are always those mass murderers who do a majority of the killing. It makes perfect sense really.

This chapter had so many stats and sources. I loved it! He gave so many different ideas as to why the HIV virus spread so quickly and gave sources to back up those ideas. Like, the demolishing of the buildings leading to the massive increase in people infected with syphilis. It made sense and he gave other peoples' opinions on if that's what happened or if it was something else, like the decline of doctors/physicians/etc. at the clinics.

I'm really looking forward to reading more and hoping he has a lot more stats coming our way.

RRR-Pt.1:The Tipping Point-Intro

When we were assigned the book I didn't really think about the name, but now that I've read it makes a lot of sense.

Who knew there was a way to compare STDs and Hush Puppies. I remember the Hush Puppies trend. I was a big collector of the plush toys. There were so many colors and they were so adorable! I wonder if I have any of those lying around somewhere...

I'm quite fond of his examples, things that just came out of no where and became very popular very quickly. Like Pokemon or those disgusting Vera Bradley bags. They are so ugly, why would you want to be caught carrying one? I apologize to anyone who carries one. That's your choice. I, personally, think they are hideous and not at all useful. Pokemon, however, I'm a big fan of. I didn't really know about them when they first started, but over the past few years I've come to like them. Sorry, I'm getting a little off topic.

So far I'm enjoying the book. He has a lot of stats and sources which makes me want to believe him. I like people who can back up what they're saying. I'm looking forward to continuing this book.
