In case you don't want to watch it yourself, this is what he said! :D]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div name="googleone_share_1" style="position:relative;z-index:5;clear:right; float: right; margin-right: 10px; margin-top:10px;"><g:plusone size="tall" count="1" href="http://billcammack.com/2012/02/20/keep-your-legs-closed/"></g:plusone></div><p>You have *GOT* to see this video, JUST so you can listen to and watch Andrea Mitchell after this dude tells her this joke! :D</p>
<p><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZM6ifRq_SNg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
YouTube Link => <a href="http://youtu.be/ZM6ifRq_SNg" rel="nofollow">youtu.be/ZM6ifRq_SNg</a></p>
<p>In case you don&#8217;t want to watch it yourself, this is what he said! :D <span id="more-10808"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;And this contraceptive thing, my gosh, it&#8217;s such inexpensive.. You know, back in my days, they used Bayer aspirin for contraception.. <strong>The gals put it between their knees</strong>, and it wasn&#8217;t that costly. :D&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Now.. When I saw this happen, live, I missed what happened, because I didn&#8217;t expect dude to be telling a joke.  I thought he was trying to tell us something about when he owed Moses a quarter from the olden days, so my mind was racing to figure out what he was saying.</p>
<p>I was thinking too much after he said &#8220;They used Bayer aspirin for contraception&#8221;, because I was like &#8220;HOW IN THE **** DID THEY DO <strong>THAT</strong>? :D&#8221; and I totally missed that he was saying that in order to hold Bayer aspirin between her legs, a woman had to <strong>KEEP. HER. LEGS. CLOSED!</strong></p>
<p>I figured it out when Andrea started choking up, and had this &#8220;oh no he di&#8217;int! :O&#8221; look on her face! :D</p>
<h3>C&#8217;Mon, Sunn! :/</h3>
<p>This situation is VERY FUNNY on a lot of levels, but I&#8217;m going to focus on the fact that dude either *FORGOT* he was speaking to a female, or he didn&#8217;t give a flying **** that he was speaking to a female, and just blurted out something guys usually only say to other guys.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s not a joke for &#8220;mixed company&#8221; (meaning women present), much less something to say on national/international television that&#8217;s going to go directly to YouTube and sit there forever.</p>
<p>The reason I wanted to talk about this, and the reason it&#8217;s in the <a href="http://billcammack.com/category/datinggenius/">Dating</a> category instead of the <a href="http://billcammack.com/category/politics-2/">Politics</a> category is that this is a beautiful example of what I&#8217;ve been telling y&#8217;all for years already&#8230;</p>
<p>Regardless of so-called Political Correctness, the game hasn&#8217;t changed one iota.</p>
<p>Not one bit.</p>
<p>Not at all.</p>
<p>This is why some women think <a href="http://billcammack.com/">my blog</a> is harsh&#8230; It&#8217;s because I realize that there are two different conversations going on.. The conversations that guys have with guys, and the conversations guys have with gals.</p>
<p>Until women recognize that there *IS* a difference, we can&#8217;t have an intelligent conversation about male/female relations and relationships, because you&#8217;re not seeing the playing field properly, and my explanations aren&#8217;t going to make any sense to you unless you can see things from my side, which is the side THAT COUNTS, because you&#8217;re trying to relate to men and failing because you don&#8217;t understand that you&#8217;re receiving half-truths from us at best.</p>
<p>That dude&#8217;s no spring chicken.  It isn&#8217;t like he thought it was funny on the playground to pull a girl&#8217;s pigtail.</p>
<p>He knows that joke goes over *BIG* every time he tells it on the golf course or at the country club, because he&#8217;s only talking to guys, and they all agree with him or pretend to agree with him so they don&#8217;t look like suckers.</p>
<p>What he did was give away trade secrets about what a lot of guys think about women and their ability/right to decide what goes on with their own bodies, but refuse to say, because they can&#8217;t afford to be seen as Not Politically Correct.</p>
<p>He can afford it because he&#8217;s rich already and is never going to run out of money, so who gives a **** what YOU think? :D</p>
<p>Most guys that are involved in the dating game don&#8217;t have that same leisurely attitude towards offending women, because they&#8217;re trying to actually get laid.</p>
<p>This is the &#8216;problem&#8217; that&#8217;s being illustrated here&#8230; What dudes think about you and what they tell you to your face are usually two different things.</p>
<p>Instead of just getting mad at dudes for saying stuff like this, I suggest that y&#8217;all females absorb this as a &#8220;teaching moment&#8221;.. Isn&#8217;t that what Oprah calls them? :D</p>
<h3>Buy A Vowel</h3>
<p>What&#8217;s great about this video is the same thing that was great about <a href="http://billcammack.com/category/datinggenius/jersey-shore/">Jersey Shore</a> when it first started. :D</p>
<p>I had been telling women for years about what really happens when guys hit the streets to &#8220;get girls&#8221;, and y&#8217;all didn&#8217;t want to believe me! :D</p>
<p>When they finally decided to create and air <a href="http://billcammack.com/category/datinggenius/jersey-shore/">Jersey Shore</a>, I was able to point out, in videos that all my readers could view with their own eyes, dudes making out with multiple chicks simultaneously, dudes hooking up with chicks at the club and then crawling into bed with their girlfriends after slapping five with their homeboys who are keeping their secrets for them, dudes talking about women like dogs after kicking them out at 6am after sex, guys that aren&#8217;t around women AT ALL until it&#8217;s time to try to get laid&#8230;</p>
<p>A lot of what&#8217;s confusing to women about dealing with and especially attempting to date men is that if we really told you what we were really thinking, you&#8217;d be like :O and our opportunity to get some would evaporate.</p>
<p>Does this mean that ALL guys do this? Of course not. :)  Some do, though, so by excluding this mentality from your set of possibilities, you&#8217;re doing yourself a disservice and may never end up on top of the game.</p>
<p>Until you realize that there are guys that believe that women keeping their legs closed is the answer to the need for contraception, you&#8217;ll be at a disadvantage.</p>
<p>Until you realize that there are dudes that will tell you all sorts of flowery things and then <a href="http://billcammack.com/2009/01/15/why-you-got-dumped-after-sex/">dump you after sex</a>, you&#8217;ll be at a disadvantage.</p>
<p>Until you realize that there are men that think women&#8217;s ability/right to decide what happens to their own bodies is a joke, you&#8217;ll be at a disadvantage.</p>
<p>So, Wake up. Get a clue.  Buy a vowel.</p>
<p>Just because it&#8217;s 2012 doesn&#8217;t mean people believe the same things.</p>
<p>If you ask your man if you should be in the kitchen making him a sandwich, he&#8217;s gonna say &#8220;NO, HONEY!!! :D NO WAY!!! :D&#8221;, while he may very well be imagining you, only wearing construction boots, making him a turkey &#038; swiss. >:D<br />

		<description><![CDATA[Long-time reader, and good friend of mine, "Fishingrod" asked me for my predictions for the Florida Republican Primary that's coming up tomorrow (Tuesday).

In fact, I hadn't even thought to write about it, because it's hardly a "prediction", as the situation has stabilized at this point, but let me talk about the WHY rather than the WHAT.

The order tomorrow is going to be Romney, Gingrich, Santorum, Paul.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div name="googleone_share_1" style="position:relative;z-index:5;clear:right; float: right; margin-right: 10px; margin-top:10px;"><g:plusone size="tall" count="1" href="http://billcammack.com/2012/01/30/florida-republican-primary-predictions/"></g:plusone></div><p>Long-time reader, and good friend of mine, &#8220;Fishingrod&#8221; asked me for my predictions for the Florida Republican Primary that&#8217;s coming up tomorrow (Tuesday).</p>
<p>In fact, I hadn&#8217;t even thought to write about it, because it&#8217;s hardly a &#8220;prediction&#8221;, as the situation has stabilized at this point, but let me talk about the WHY rather than the WHAT.</p>
<p>The order tomorrow is going to be Romney, Gingrich, Santorum, Paul. <span id="more-10783"></span></p>
<p>This is already evident by the polls, which have Romney leading Gingrich by anywhere between 5 and 20 percentage points, like meaning <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/16794826" rel="nofollow">43% Romney, 29% Gingrich</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/16794826" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/58180000/jpg/_58180911_kidronmney.jpg" width="464" height="261" alt="Florida Primary" title="Florida Primary"></a></p>
<p>Besides the polls, Florida allows its residents to vote early.  The early voting reflects the current poll numbers&#8230; Already. :D</p>
<p>They haven&#8217;t even cast the first &#8220;real&#8221; vote, and Romney is already ahead by A LOT.</p>
<p>Meanwhile.. There is *ZERO* demonstrable difference between the Republican candidates on the most important topic, which is AMERICAN. JOBS. PERIOD!!!!</p>
<p>No difference at all.  They all say the same thing.  Less government.  No rise in taxes for rich people.  Fewer regulations on small businesses.  Repeal ObamaCare so companies will feel confident to hire people in the near future.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s all well and good.  That&#8217;s not even worth talking about, because they all say the exact same thing.  Whether that would work or not is irrelevant.  None of these candidates are offering anything that makes them stand out in the crowd, on the topic of jobs.</p>
<p>If you believe they do, feel free to leave a comment below, and we&#8217;ll discuss it. :D</p>
<p>All I know is that if *I* don&#8217;t know the difference between their job plans, the average American knows way less, Capisce? >:D</p>
<p>So.. If the nomination process isn&#8217;t being decided by &#8220;How is this man going to get *ME* a job and help me feed my family and keep my house?&#8221;, then what&#8217;s deciding it? o_O</p>
<h3>Elections For Sale</h3>
<p>The deciding factor in this nomination process is money.  Period.</p>
<p>The more money you have, the more negative campaign ads you can run.. Like this one:</p>
<p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/CWKTOCP45zY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />

<p>and this one:<br />
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/BLWnB9FGmWE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
YouTube Link => <a href="http://youtu.be/BLWnB9FGmWE" rel="nofollow">youtu.be/BLWnB9FGmWE</a></p>
<p>Negativity sways the opinion of a lot of people, which is why we&#8217;ve been seeing so much <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bitchassedness" rel="nofollow">bitchassedness</a> in this process (and any OTHER election process that ever goes in in the United States of America, Republican, Democrat or otherwise).</p>
<p>So, if <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newt_Gingrich" rel="nofollow">Newton Leroy</a> says &#8220;I can get the American people jobs by firing all the government workers so we don&#8217;t have to pay their salaries anymore and we can balance the budget! :D&#8221; and I say &#8220;Newton is a <em><strong>FREAK-BODY</strong></em> who has a history of screwing more than one female simultaneously, and, according to his ex wife who used to be his side-piece until he dumped his first wife for her, dude offered her an &#8216;open&#8217; marriage including her, him and his current side-piece (whom he&#8217;s now married to) when they were already married! :O&#8221;, I win.</p>
<p>With no difference in our jobs policies, all I have to do is talk yang about the other candidate, and I win.</p>
<p>This is why CREAM in politics (Cash Rules Everything Around Me).</p>
<p><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/bjZRAvsZf1g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />

<p>Dolla Dolla <a href="http://billcammack.com/">Bill</a>, Y&#8217;allll!!! >:D</p>
<p>If you have money, you can afford to send physical mail to everyone in creation so they have the forms they need to send in to vote early for you.</p>
<p>If you have money, you can afford to ring people&#8217;s phones all day and night with robo-calls, reminding them to vote for you.</p>
<p>If you have money, you can hire more people than your competitor can to do your bidding in any particular state.. In fact, While you&#8217;re campaigning in New Hampshire, you can pay people to campaign for you in Florida.  Get the picture? :D</p>
<p>Meanwhile, every ounce of the next candidate&#8217;s resources are going into their current campaign in the current state.  By the time they win or lose there and start heading to the next location, the candidate with more money already has a nice head start on the process, and has probably flown to that state a couple of times IN PERSON to glad-hand, kiss a few babies and pose for a few pictures.</p>
<h3>Don&#8217;t Hate The Player</h3>
<p>You will hear the pundits talk about &#8220;Game&#8221;.. Specifically, &#8220;Ground Game&#8221;.  You have to have a ground game because someone from that area has to go around and collect signatures from people that say they want you to be on the ballot.  This is why only Romney and Paul are on the ballot in Virginia, since Gingrich and Perry failed to submit enough valid signatures to qualify.</p>
<p>So if you can&#8217;t afford people to go get signatures for you, you don&#8217;t get on the ballot.  If you don&#8217;t get on the ballot, you don&#8217;t get any votes.  If you don&#8217;t get any votes, you don&#8217;t get any delegates.  If you don&#8217;t have enough delegates, you aren&#8217;t nominated by your party.</p>
<p>Unfortunately for the final four, Florida is too large a state for your ground game to make a difference.  You just literally can&#8217;t travel from spot to spot and make an appreciable impression on people.  This is why <a href="http://politics.blogs.foxnews.com/2012/01/28/paul-skips-florida-focuses-caucus-states-maine-and-colorado">Ron Paul isn&#8217;t there</a>.</p>
<p>Paul knows that the only way you win Florida is through television advertisements (see above for examples, hehe).  You can shake as many hands as you want, but most people are going to find out about you by watching television, as they always do, and having a commercial come on that tells them something about the current candidates.</p>
<p>Paul is saving is money.. Wisely.. Because Romney has already spent $16,000,000 USD on television ads smashing Gingrich, and Gingrich has spent something like $3,400,000 USD for airtime.</p>
<p>In case you can&#8217;t count, that reads SIXTEEN MILLION DOLLARS has been spent just to buy up television time that informs Florida voters what Romney&#8217;s team wants them to know&#8230; Which is that Gingrich sucks.</p>
<h3>Thanks For The Ducats</h3>
<p>To make matters worse.. There are these things called Political Action Committees, or PACs for short, and now, there are Super PACs.</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://articles.cnn.com/2012-01-26/politics/politics_super-pac-general_1_super-pacs-presidential-race-congressional-race?_s=PM:POLITICS" rel="nofollow">Super PACs&#8217; money could tip balance of power in Congress</a></p>
<p>The <strong>2010 Supreme Court ruling</strong> that allows <strong>unlimited contributions by corporations and unions</strong> has already affected the 2012 presidential campaign. But it could play a larger part in the balance of power in Congress this fall.</p>
<p><strong>Voters in three states have been bombarded with television and Web advertising, automated phone calls and direct mailing, most of it directed against a candidate rather than in support of one.</strong> And in Florida, which votes Tuesday, spending is going up by the day.</p>
<p>Spawned by a Supreme Court ruling that loosened restrictions on independent spending by corporations, unions and advocacy groups and by subsequent rulings by the Federal Election Commission, <strong>the outside groups have the ability to raise and spend unlimited amounts of money to advocate around hot-button political issues</strong>, like support for or opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline, and to support or oppose candidates for office.</p>
<p><strong>The outside groups can do just about anything a campaign or political party can do,</strong> including voter registration efforts and sending direct-mail pieces or automated telephone calls that frequently fly under the national media&#8217;s radar, <strong>but don&#8217;t have the same financial limits and donor disclosure requirements that candidates&#8217; campaigns do.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>So.. Basically.. All that &#8220;Give $5 to help Obama get reelected&#8221; or &#8220;Donate $50 towards <a href="http://buddyroemer.com/" rel="nofollow">Buddy Roemer&#8217;s campaign</a>&#8221; stuff is mainly symbolic now.</p>
<p>People are sending insane amounts of money to Super PACs to support their favorite candidates.. How much influence do you think *THAT* will buy if that person gets elected? o_O</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.fox16.com/news/political/story/Sheldon-Adelson-donates-millions-to-support/y8nw1Z2nvk6Afm-890qKCw.cspx" rel="nofollow">Sheldon Adelson donates millions to support Gingrich</a></p>
<p>MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — A Las Vegas <strong>billionaire</strong> with ties to Newt Gingrich has given <strong>$5 million</strong> to an <strong>independent group</strong> backing the former House Speaker&#8217;s presidential bid.</p>
<p>A person familiar with the situation said <strong>casino mogul Sheldon Adelson</strong> made the contribution Friday to <strong>Winning the Future, a pro-Gingrich super PAC</strong>. The person said Adelson would spend heavily to assist whichever candidate wins the Republican nomination.</p>
<p>Adelson is a longtime supporter of GOP candidates and has been a friend and backer of Gingrich for many years.</p>
<p><strong>Gingrich&#8217;s campaign has struggled since a super PAC supporting Mitt Romney spent $3 million on ads attacking him in Iowa.</strong></p>
<p>The Washington Post first reported the $5 million contribution. Politico reported last month that Adelson was prepared to spend <strong>$20 million</strong> to help Gingrich.</p></blockquote>
<p>See that? :D haha So you either get a million people to contribute $5 or one dude to contribute $5,000,000 and it&#8217;s the exact same amount of power to purchase the creation of and airtime for negative campaign advertisement against other candidates.</p>
<p>In fact, at the time of this printing, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/26/newt-gingrich-sheldon-adelson-super-pac-citizens-united_n_1233372.html" rel="nofollow">dude and his wife have dropped another $5M on Gingrich, already</a>. :D</p>
<h3>Shakeout</h3>
<p>At this point, the situation has stabilized.  The only thing we&#8217;re waiting for is for Santorum to quit.</p>
<p>Everybody else is in it for the long haul.</p>
<p>Paul is racking up delegates so he can have some props at the Convention, so he&#8217;s going to run in as many states as he can.</p>
<p>Gingrich has a billionaire for a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_daddy" rel="nofollow">Sugar Daddy</a>, so he has no incentive to quit.</p>
<p>Romney has been the only real candidate this entire time, which I&#8217;ve SAID this entire time, so he should be in it all the way, instead of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitt_Romney_presidential_campaign,_2008#Presidential_bid_suspension_and_withdrawal" rel="nofollow">quitting, like he did in 2008</a>.</p>
<p>So, it&#8217;s not really about &#8220;predictions&#8221; anymore.. It&#8217;s more like how the situation&#8217;s going to play itself out, like watching a cut-scene in a video game.</p>
<p>The next several states that vote are in the South.  Gingrich will do well in the states where he can utilize his ground game.  Romney will do well in the states where ground game can be nullified by incessant negative television attack ads.  Santorum should suspend his campaign relatively soon, hopefully after Florida, because he&#8217;s strictly an 11% candidate unless he gets <a href="http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2012/01/04/my-take-iowa-caucus-results-puncture-myth-of-evangelical-vote/" rel="nofollow">a religious endorsement from someplace like Iowa, where 57% of the people in the exit polls described themselves as Evangelical Christians</a>.</p>
<p>Romney will do better when the vote goes back up North.  Gingrich will do better when Santorum quits and stops splitting the Non-Romney, Not-Romney, or Anti-Romney vote.</p>
<p>So, the way I see it, this process should be a loooooong, drawn out process of getting delegates here and there, until Romney finally gets the 1214 that he needs to  secure the Republican nomination.</p>
<p>By then, Newt Gingrich will have written the Democratic playbook for dismantling Mitt Romney&#8217;s candidacy.</p>
<p>He also will have created all the negative attack ads for free to Obama, since his team doesn&#8217;t have to spend any money researching, creating, airing, or measuring the efficacy of the ads.</p>
<p>Gingrich will also have set the stage for A LOT OF unforced verbal errors by Romney that Romney will be starring in his own attack ads, like at the end of this one, where Romney says &#8220;There are a lot of reasons not to elect me&#8221;:</p>
<p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jVUQuJDEs04" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
YouTube Link => <a href="http://youtu.be/jVUQuJDEs04" rel="nofollow">youtu.be/jVUQuJDEs04</a></p>
<p>So, the longer this goes on, the worse Romney looks, and the lower the chances become that Republicans will win the 2012 election.</p>
<p>Gingrich has now gone from calling Romney a Massachusetts Moderate to a Liberal.</p>
<p>Romney&#8217;s credibility (and he didn&#8217;t start out with much) with Conservatives is being eroded, daily.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s all that&#8217;s going to happen from now on.  Gingrich and Romney are going to air incessant negative ads about each other until Romney makes his 1214 to secure the Republican nomination, and then he&#8217;s going to have to try to turn around and say &#8220;I was only kidding&#8221; to all the people he&#8217;s offended during the current process of pandering and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demagogy" rel="nofollow">demagoguery</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demagogy" rel="nofollow">Demagogy</a> (/ˈdɛməɡɒdʒi/[1]) or demagoguery (/ˈdɛməɡɒɡəri/[2]) (Ancient Greek: δημαγωγία, from δῆμος dēmos &#8220;people&#8221; and ἄγειν agein &#8220;to lead&#8221;) is <strong>a strategy for gaining political power</strong> by appealing to the <strong>prejudices, emotions, fears, vanities and expectations of the public</strong>—typically via <strong>impassioned rhetoric and propaganda</strong>, and often using <strong>nationalist, populist or religious themes</strong>. What qualifies as demagogy has been the subject of debate and ambiguity since Aristophanes first used the term, in reference to the Athenian statesman, Cleon.[citation needed]</p></blockquote>
<p>Good Luck with sprinting back towards the center.. You&#8217;re gonna need it.<br />

<p>I mention that because I&#8217;m glad they changed my category from &#8220;Pundit&#8221;.  Pundits get on my last nerve. :D</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t have anything against pundits before a few months ago when I started following the Republican debates to see whether they were going to field a viable team to potentially defeat President Obama in 2012.</p>
<p>The problem I have with them now isn&#8217;t really their fault, but they have to deal with a new development in television broadcasting which I call &#8220;Internet Blog-Influenced News Cycles&#8221;. <span id="more-10564"></span></p>
<h3>When Hillary Is President</h3>
<p>Back in the day&#8230; The day was exactly February 09, 2007, in fact, which I know because I posted this link => <a href="http://billcammack.com/2007/02/09/reelsolidtv-episode-39-when-hillary-is-president/">http://billcammack.com/2007/02/09/reelsolidtv-episode-39-when-hillary-is-president/</a>, I recognized that this was going to be an issue for television stations.</p>
<p>At that time, my long-time friend and business associate Joseph Ruiz and I were videotaping events for politicians.</p>
<p>Also, at that time, I had never even heard of Barack Obama, which is why the post and the video are entitled &#8220;WHEN Hillary is President&#8221;! :D</p>
<p><iframe src="http://blip.tv/play/hJlKiZVoAg.html" width="480" height="390" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://a.blip.tv/api.swf#hJlKiZVoAg" style="display:none"></embed><br />
Blip.TV Link => <a href="http://blip.tv/file/146156" rel="me">blip.tv/file/146156</a></p>
<p>I was filming with my MiniDV camera, but I saw several camerapeople with large cameras with stickers for television stations on the side.</p>
<p>I remember thinking to myself, I&#8217;m going to have this video live way before they are, because *MY* network is already in place, and waiting for media from me to go live.</p>
<p>The stations the camerapeople were shooting for only had news at 12 lunchtime and 6pm, and Hillary spoke around 10:30am.  This meant that by the time I encoded my video, tagged and uploaded it, it would be going live around 2pm, whereas the camerapeople wouldn&#8217;t even be back to their offices before 12pm with the tapes, AND THEN they were going to have to give the tapes to producers, who were going to have to watch the whole thing for content and then write copy about it and decide which sound bites to use, AND THEN the producers were going to have to hand the tapes off to editors to make into the final product (which I know because <a href="http://billcammack.com/billcammack/">that&#8217;s what I did for Bloomberg Television and Court TV for years</a>), AND THEN it was going to be another hour before that video would be ready for air, AND THEN they were only going to play a few seconds&#8217; worth of the video because they had so many other things to talk about during their 30 minutes (22 minutes, actually, when you subtract the time for commercials) of television news between 6pm and 6:30, and that&#8217;s exactly what happened.</p>
<p>My video went live around 2pm that day.  I was watching the news at 12 on the stations that had sent cameras&#8230; nothing&#8230; When they finally announced the event at 6pm, they used probably about 7 seconds worth of footage, or the amount of time that Ronnie and Mike got to fight on <a href="http://billcammack.com/category/datinggenius/jersey-shore/">Jersey Shore</a> before the 300-pound bouncers that are always standing barely off-camera jumped in, and then they moved on.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, I showed the entire speech from beginning to end because I had had my camera rolling the entire time, and I have *ZERO* time constraints because I am my own internet network.</p>
<h3>2011 &#8211; Rise Of The Pundits</h3>
<p>Fast-Forward to 2011, and the television news has been fully affected by social media powerhouses like <a href="http://facebook.com/BillCammack" rel="me">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/BillCammack" rel="me">Twitter</a>.</p>
<p>They know that if they don&#8217;t report things immediately, they&#8217;re going to be LATE in the news cycle.</p>
<p>This calls for an entirely different approach from when people used to have to wait for 12pm, 6pm, and 11pm to roll around so we could find out what was going on in the world.</p>
<p>If something important happens at 1pm, 6pm is too late to report it as if it&#8217;s news.</p>
<p>This is also why a bunch of newspapers fell off, BTW.  The time it takes to figure out the story, get it approved by executive producers, put it in print form, print the copies, and move the physical papers to the locations where people can buy them means that you&#8217;re AUTOMATICALLY going to be out-of-date way before your newspaper hits the stands.</p>
<p>The papers that didn&#8217;t migrate to an internet-based delivery format lost out.. BIG TIME!</p>
<p>This is why we&#8217;ve now experienced the rise of the pundits.</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pundit_(expert)" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pundit_(expert)</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>A pundit is someone who offers to mass media <strong>his or her opinion or commentary on a particular subject area</strong> (most typically political analysis, the social sciences or sport) <strong>on which they are knowledgeable.</strong> The term has been increasingly applied to popular media personalities.[1] In certain cases, it may be used in a derogatory manner as well, as the political equivalent of &#8220;ideologue.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Pundits are necessary because they&#8217;re expected to speak *BEFORE* facts are revealed instead of *AFTER* facts are revealed. o_O</p>
<p>This is simultaneously what makes them so annoying to me.</p>
<p>I agree with the first part of the definition: &#8220;Someone who offers to mass media his or her opinion or commentary&#8221;, but I disagree with the second part: &#8220;on which they are knowledgeable&#8221;.</p>
<p>Because you know something about politics doesn&#8217;t mean you know *ANYTHING* about a particular political situation.</p>
<p>For instance.. I know about <a href="http://youtube.com/reelsolidtv" rel="nofollow">music mixing</a>.  If you show me a video and then say &#8220;The mixer used Waves&#8217; Renaissance Compressor instead of Waves&#8217; PuigChild compressor.. Why did s/he do that? o_O&#8221; I&#8217;m going to tell you that you get two different sounds by using the two different compressors on a track, AND that RComp is transparent (to my hearing), while PuigChild colors the sound (makes it sound different than it originally did).</p>
<p><img src="http://www.waves.com/objects/Images/Screenshots/PuigChild_670_small.jpg" /></p>
<p>However.. If you were to play a song for me and then ask me the dumb-ass question &#8220;Do you think the mixer used RComp or PuigChild on this track? o_O&#8221;, I have no choice but to tell you a bunch of garbage, because I. DON&#8217;T. KNOW!</p>
<p>Either the track sounded the same before the compressor went on, in which case, I&#8217;d guess RComp, *OR* it sounded different before the compressor went on, in which case, I&#8217;d guess PuigChild, and that *ASSUMES* that the person asking me had some sort of advance knowledge that it HAD to be one of the two that was used.</p>
<h3>What Do You THINK?</h3>
<p>This is why pundits are so annoying.</p>
<p>The news cycle is now immediate.  I find out things from <a href="http://twitter.com/BillCammack" rel="me">Twitter</a> and <a href="http://facebook.com/BillCammack" rel="me">Facebook</a> way faster than I do from television, even if I leave a news channel running live all day.</p>
<p>This is because if a bridge falls down or a plane lands in some water, Citizen Journalists don&#8217;t have to wait to decide whether they care about an event or not, and they don&#8217;t have to wait for EPs (<a href="http://billcammack.com/2009/07/13/hire-an-executive-producer-ep/">Executive Producers</a>) to approve their media.  They just send it.</p>
<p>Granted, and to the credit of Mass Media, there&#8217;s way more fact-checking that goes on before they output their content all late and after-the-fact.</p>
<p>The new immediacy of the news cycle, which has been created by internet connectivity and Citizen Journalism, has made pundits necessary to fill the space between when a television station finds out about something and when they can actually report something substantial about it.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, it&#8217;s all garbage.</p>
<p>As soon as the Herman Cain, feel-a-chick-up-in-a-car allegations were dropped, all of a sudden, we were subjected to infinite opinions about Sexual Harassment and whether he did it or not.</p>
<p>Not only did we have to hear this ONCE, but CONSISTENTLY and PERSISTENTLY, until he finally had a press conference to deny the allegations.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, none of these people know jack-**** about jack-**** because they weren&#8217;t there (if she has ever been in a car with Cain at all), and they don&#8217;t know what happened, so they need to STFU.</p>
<p>BLAH BLAH BLAH Should he bow out of the race? o_O</p>
<p>BLAH BLAH BLAH Are women going to come out of the woodwork, accusing him of harassment? o_O</p>
<p>BLAH BLAH BLAH Is he going to lose a lot of support in the next poll? o_O</p>
<p>Meanwhile.. When the actual fact rolls around, he&#8217;s still at the top of the charts with Romney, and when he says the allegations are unfounded, he practically receives a standing ovation at the Republican Debate, so all this punditry was just a big waste of time, wasn&#8217;t it?</p>
<h3>C&#8217;Mon, Sunn :/</h3>
<p>To make matters worse, the television stations feel the need to discuss these things consistently, throughout their broadcast day, in order to appear &#8220;on top of the news&#8221;.</p>
<p>I wish there were a &#8220;How do you know that?&#8221; or &#8220;What facts are you basing your opinion on?&#8221; button that we could press and get these people to STFU when they&#8217;re just running their mouths about things they don&#8217;t know anything about.</p>
<p>In fact, their opinions don&#8217;t matter, and except for actual experts in certain things like health matters and monetary policy, there&#8217;s only a slight percentage chance that anything they say will turn out to be accurate at all.</p>
<p>The only reason the experts are accurate is because they&#8217;re giving their opinions based on a series of actual situations that panned out a certain way in the past.</p>
<p>What can you say for sure in the Cain situation?.. Nothing.</p>
<p>Their statements are diametrically opposed.  Either he&#8217;s lying or she&#8217;s lying.  There&#8217;s no statistical evidence supporting either guess.  Sometimes guys are telling the truth in Sexual Harassment situations, and sometimes gals are.  Sometimes, they both are, but they interpreted the situation differently or remember it differently, <a href="http://billcammack.com/2008/09/05/alcohol-is-no-excuse/">especially if alcohol is involved</a>.</p>
<p>All you can do, honestly, is report the facts (or lack thereof) and then move on.</p>
<p>Since this isn&#8217;t acceptable entertainment, a whole bunch of know-nothings are booked to talk yang on television, for essentially ZERO educational value.</p>
<p>To make matters worse.. Depending on which station you tune in to, you get a totally different spin on the exact same content.</p>
<p>One channel says &#8220;Please don&#8217;t frack our water, so we can light it on fire and get sick from drinking it&#8221;, and then the next channel says &#8220;**** your health! :D .. We don&#8217;t want government telling us we can&#8217;t pollute your water&#8221;.</p>
<p>One channel says &#8220;The only way to stimulate the economy is to put more money in the hands of &#8216;Job Creators&#8217; by not raising taxes against them and simplifying the tax code so they have confidence that the game&#8217;s not going to change on them next year after they hire a bunch of people&#8221; and the next channel says &#8220;We need to go into more debt and tax people more so we can put Americans to work right now&#8221;.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, nothing actually gets done, and people continue to starve and lose their homes, with no end in sight.</p>
<p>What I&#8217;m wondering is that if these pundits are supposed to be so knowledgeable about their specific areas of concentration, how come they&#8217;re not arriving at the exact same conclusions and providing viable and irrefutable solutions to this current American crisis? o_O<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div name="googleone_share_1" style="position:relative;z-index:5;clear:right; float: right; margin-right: 10px; margin-top:10px;"><g:plusone size="tall" count="1" href="http://billcammack.com/2010/02/19/tiger-woods-press-conference-takeaways/"></g:plusone></div><p><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tmz.com/media/2009/12/1212_tiger_woods_steve_williams_g2_92873042.jpg" title="Tiger Woods" width="300" style="float:left">Tiger Woods spoke in a press conference just now.  Here&#8217;s what I got out of it:</p>
<p>Tiger looks good.  It doesn&#8217;t look like he went through plastic surgery.</p>
<p>According to the written speech, he&#8217;s deeply sorry for his selfish and irresponsible behavior.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s not as good at reading as he is at golf.</p>
<p>He did better than <a href="http://billcammack.com/2009/12/01/tiger-woods-vs-chris-brown/">Chris Brown</a> did, at least.</p>
<p>He sounds rather robotic, like &#8220;YABBA. DABBA. DOO&#8221;.</p>
<p>Tiger Woods does a lot for the children of the world, and he&#8217;s dedicated to making sure that continues.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s reading off of a paper to express that he didn&#8217;t get jacked up by his wife, Elin.</p>
<p>Tiger was taught to believe in core values, but he convinced himself that normal rules didn&#8217;t apply.  He never thought about who he was hurting.  He thought only about himself.  He thought he could get away with anything he wanted to. <span id="more-7713"></span></p>
<p>He felt entitled to the chicks he hooked up with, because he worked hard to be successful.</p>
<p>Jesus.. Could he have REHEARSED THIS?  Come on, man. :/</p>
<p>He seemed to genuinely apologize to the families who held him up as a role model to their kids.  I actually believe he&#8217;s upset that he jacked that up.</p>
<p>Tiger spent 45 days in <a href="http://billcammack.com/2010/02/12/sex-addiction-therapy-rehab/">inpatient therapy</a>, receiving guidance for the issues he&#8217;s facing.</p>
<p>Tiger finally told these jackasses that this situation is between him AND his wife.  Thank you.  Finally.</p>
<p>Here we go.  Now he&#8217;s upset! :D  The only passion we heard the whole time was when Tiger was saying mind your ******* business, leave my family out of this and stop chasing them around trying to take pictures of them.  Unfortunately, his passionate section highlighted how little passion was involved in the rest of the speech he read.</p>
<p>Tiger is a Buddhist.  Starting tomorrow, he will leave for more treatment and more therapy.</p>
<p>He plans to return to golf someday.  He doesn&#8217;t know when that will be.  He&#8217;s not ruling out a return this year.  He says he needs to make his behavior more respectful of the game.</p>
<p>He asks the people who believed in him to help him by finding room in their hearts to one day believe in him again.</p>
<p>Tiger then proceeded to get dap from the entire front row, including his mother.</p>
<h3>Thoughts</h3>
<p>I don&#8217;t know what else he could have done. \o/  I think the speech was well-written, by whomever wrote it.  I believe he&#8217;s going to get more therapy for whatever he thinks is wrong with him, or maybe I should say I believe he&#8217;s going to do whatever he needs to do to get back on the golf course, make more money, get more endorsements and not get caught hooking up ever again.</p>
<p>Similar to his abilities to keep his woman from accessing his cell phone, his abilities to read speeches isn&#8217;t good at all.  Hopefully, this will get the crying-ass pundits to move along and talk about something else, now that he&#8217;s admitted what we already knew, that he hooked up with a lot of chicks and he felt entitled to do that because he&#8217;s a rich and famous sports player.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a short video clip from the Associated Press:</p>
<p><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uc02ZEPJuF8&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uc02ZEPJuF8&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object></p>
<p>Good Luck to Tiger.  Had he not been married, none of this would have happened and he wouldn&#8217;t be considered a <a href="http://billcammack.com/2010/02/12/sex-addiction-therapy-rehab/">sex addict</a>.  Period.</p>

<font size="1"><a href="http://billcammack.com/">Bill</a> surrounded by <a href="http://www.uncensoredinterview.com/">Marisa</a> &#038; <a href="http://www.uncensoredinterview.com/">Melinda</a> from uncensoredinterview.com</font></div>
<h3>Asians In Manhattan</h3>
<p>Please don&#8217;t ask me what&#8217;s going on in this picture.  Thank you very much.  Moving right along&#8230;.. :D</p>
<p>There are A LOT of Asians in Manhattan, NYC.  However, if your &#8220;understanding&#8221; of Manhattan comes from watching television or films, you&#8217;d probably assume that there weren&#8217;t any at all.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know anything about the casting industry, but it pretty much seems that unless someone writes elements specifically attributed to Asians (and we all know what THOSE are) into a show, you&#8217;re not going to see any Asian brothaz headlining American films unless they blow up large, like <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000334/">Chow Yun-Fat</a>.</p>
<p>I was actually expecting to see another one of my favorites, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0504897/">Tony Leung</a> show up on the scene, but that&#8217;s not really the point I wanted to make.<span id="more-7335"></span></p>
<h3>The Map Is Not The Territory</h3>
<p>There are lots of things about dating that you&#8217;re never told.  Sometimes, this is because people are hiding information from you.  Other times, it&#8217;s because they were never privy to the information themselves.  There are people that want to hand out dating advice that they derived ENTIRELY from films, television and reading.  There are people that want to give dating advice that have kicked it to a grand total of ONE CHICK IN THEIR ENTIRE LIVES, hooked up with her and are doing the family thing and think they have relevant information to share about doing things OTHER than that.  There are people that want to tell you how to carry yourself in a bar when they don&#8217;t *GO* to bars! O_o  People that want to tell you about juggling multiple chicks when they&#8217;ve NEVER DONE IT.  People that want to talk about running simultaneous LTRS that have NEVER DONE IT.  People that want to give you advice on pulling chicks that weren&#8217;t even interested in you when you walk in the door THAT HAVE NEVER ACHIEVED THAT!</p>
<p>This is why dating is like &#8220;Asians on television&#8221;.  There&#8217;s so much information you DON&#8217;T HAVE, but you think you have the correct knowledge because most of the society&#8217;s agreed upon the brainwashing.  You don&#8217;t see the Asians because they&#8217;re not being cast in the media.  You don&#8217;t know the bar scene because you&#8217;re not in the trenches.  Meanwhile, you&#8217;re trying to live into some Hans Christian Andersen fairy tales that people fed you when you were growing up and THOSE PEOPLE know damned well that THEIR LIVES DIDN&#8217;T GO THAT WAY! :D</p>
<p>When I was growing up, there was a card game called &#8220;OLD MAID&#8221;&#8230;&#8230; &#8220;Old Maid&#8221;? hahaha Seriously? :D  They want to act like it&#8217;s an anomaly for women to remain single for their entire lives or become divorced at some point when the divorce statistics are, what? 40%-50% in America?  That&#8217;s *HALF*, people.. Like Eddie Murphy&#8217;s money. HALF!.. Half of the people that even GOT married in the first place.  Meanwhile, they&#8217;re steadily giving women complexes about &#8220;being alone&#8221; when they&#8217;re older, throwing them that &#8220;There&#8217;s someone for everyone&#8221; sap rap, when in reality, there&#8217;s a good chance that they won&#8217;t find anyone they&#8217;re willing to settle for and even if they do, there&#8217;s no guarantee that their relationship&#8217;s going to last until they croak.</p>
<p>I was sitting around with a homegirl of mine the other day, trading stories about how many kids our exes have had so far.  She and I are STILL &#8220;together&#8221;, even though all of our exes are long gone.  Meanwhile, someone will try to low-rate our relationship because she and I have never &#8220;dated&#8221; or been &#8220;an item&#8221;.  I know who she is for me.  She knows who I am for her.  I don&#8217;t have a crystal ball, but I doubt that&#8217;s going to change.</p>
<h3>Seeing &#038; Believing</h3>

<p>So.. Just because you don&#8217;t see the Asians doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;re not there.  It means you don&#8217;t know where to look, they&#8217;re being omitted in the media you&#8217;re consuming or you&#8217;re deliberately being misguided.</p>
<p>Same thing goes for dating.  To hear people tell it, it&#8217;s all sunshine &#038; roses.  Anything that deviates from that is&#8230;. well.. Deviant. :D</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no benefit to anyone to give you the advice that when your wife asks you why you came home late to tell her &#8220;Mind your own business&#8221; as well as potentially &#8220;I get here when I get here&#8221;.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no benefit to telling you that the gal he introduced you to as his cousin ISN&#8217;T his cousin&#8230;</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no benefit to telling you that if you don&#8217;t keep your wife satisfied in the bedroom, someone else is going to hannle yo bidnezz FOR YOU. O_o</p>
<p>So what you need to do is take advantage of blogs, etc to OPEN your mind instead of CLOSING it.  You can be wary without being suspicious.  Recognizing that someone MIGHT do something doesn&#8217;t mean that they WILL do that or DID do that.  What it does for you is puts you in a better mental position should the unthinkable occur.  If you only focus on the potential POSITIVE of a relationship, you won&#8217;t be ready for the potential NEGATIVE and might not be able to respond to it until it&#8217;s too late.  It&#8217;s too late to figure out on the fly what you&#8217;re going to do when you find out someone cheated on you.  It&#8217;s too late to figure out what you&#8217;re going to say or do when a chick tells you she&#8217;s pregnant.  It&#8217;s too late to figure it out when someone says it&#8217;s over.</p>
<p>Just because someone shows you a picture, don&#8217;t assume it&#8217;s the WHOLE picture, capisce? :)  There&#8217;s lots of incentive to only tell you PART of the story.. as in &#8220;The part of the story that benefits the storyteller&#8221;.  Don&#8217;t assume Asians can&#8217;t act because you don&#8217;t see any Asian actors.  I&#8217;m not even going to get into <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&#038;q=movie+21+casting+asians&#038;aq=f&#038;oq=&#038;aqi=" rel="nofollow">how they elected to cast the movie &#8220;21&#8243;</a>&#8230; People used to think blacks couldn&#8217;t QB because they only used to hire white quarterbacks for the NFL and you saw what happened to THAT.</p>
<p>So don&#8217;t get caught slippin&#8217;, listening to people that have never been in the trenches telling you about dating in particular or relating to people in general.  Seek out alternate sources of information, much of which you might not even want to hear, if you want to have a proper grasp on The Game.</p>
<h3>Ignorance Is Bliss&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; Maybe</h3>
<p>I stumbled onto some pictures the other day of a close homeboy of mine and this chick I had wanted to kick it to at the time.  I had a conversation with him back in the day about her and he asked me specific questions that I remember chalking up to his uncanny natural wisdom about chicks from having so much experience with them.  Looking at the pictures years later, I clearly recognize that she&#8217;s way too friendly with him in them for the level of interaction that I was privy to them having and thinking back to who he was and what our relationship was at the time, he most likely hit it and didn&#8217;t tell me he did.</p>
<p>I find that concept funny, interesting and tactically correct.  I wouldn&#8217;t have appreciated it at the time if he had told me he had hooked up with her because he knew how interested in her I was and it was basically a violation of &#8220;the code&#8221;.  It was better for all of us for him to do his thing and enjoy her and keep it under the hat.  I&#8217;m not in contact with either of them at this point, so it&#8217;s all water under the bridge, but the point is that I related to them AS IF they didn&#8217;t mess with each other because that was my perception of the situation.  I see now how my perception could have been 100% incorrect and I would have been better off if I could have opened my mind to the possibility of them hooking up instead of shutting that idea out because I didn&#8217;t want to think about it and would have felt betrayed.  I would have preferred the bliss of ignorance to the potential belief that my rap was undermined by a close friend.</p>
<p>Unfortunately&#8230;.. Sometimes, it&#8217;s good to feel betrayed&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.. Because you actually WERE! :D</p>
