Re: “Yahoo Buys Tumblr; Tumblr Users Flee Like Rats From a Sinking Ship”
Next to the mythical fairy dust "economy" of the banksters the internet has to be the biggest scam since bogus patent medicines.
Immense amounts of pretend "money" is being moved around (with speculators and sharks at every step dipping their beaks) on "businesses" that have no foot in reality, contribute little or nothing positive to society and last less than 5 years before imploding...
1.1 Billion $$$ for what? From a company that makes that money how?

Please don't give these losers any more ink/pixels. They are sick (and so are we for giving them any attention).

Any titles for the sequel? - "Invasion of the tip-snatchers, an out of your pocket experience" p.s. wonder if there are any Scottsdale labor (or criminal) law students looking for a summer restaurant education?

What is Tumblr and why should I care?
Re: “Community Conundrum”
Not too shocking. You hire an unqualified ED who leaves when the going gets tough only 15 months later. A policy analyst (even if a former employee is not nonprofit ED material without more fundraising and leadership experience - no wonder the recession had such a big impact).
Then you leave the organization without true leadership for 3 years???? What do they expect but chaos now and an organization completely adrift with a shifting and uncertain identity and future? This is firmly a problem caused by the board who over the past five years lead the organization to this breaking point.
I am very sad to learn what is going on - but to all my friends in nonprofit management and similar fields it is an important cautionary tale to share. I have seen this type of devastation happen to organizations before from poor board governance and expect to see it again.

As long as it's 'Those OTHER Bad People' each and every one of us will have 6 or 7 billion people to worry about. Let's evolve, for our own sakes.

Re: “TV Ad Hammers Flake on Background Checks”
Senator Flake (Fake) can twist it anyway he wants. He's got high paid writers to respond to these ads...but the truth is he lied. He lied to the people of Arizona and he lied to the mother of that slain son. The Grassley bill never came up for a vote. The real vote was the one 45 senators voted down and each and everyone of them received monetary compensation for their vote. It's just sickening that these so called politicians would rather work for those that pay them and not the 91% of the American public who supported the bill!!!!
Re: “The Continuing Saga of Amy's Baking Company; No Press Conference, No PR Firm”
I stopped watching Kitchen Nightmares because after a few years hearing Ramsey say "bollocks" every five minutes and all the bleeping had become tedious. Obviously, I'm out of the loop on this. Dang! LOL
Re: “The Continuing Saga of Amy's Baking Company; No Press Conference, No PR Firm”
Hahaha. I can just imagine why this little 'collaboration' ended so quickly.
Re: “Can Someone Save This Dog?”
There are actually four beautiful dogs facing euthanasia this evening. I'd take them all if I could, so many nice dogs in that shelter. Sad.

Chris is a good guy, and his father was a man among men. It is weird he is in this, but no need for all that Old Man
Re: “'Pooping In Reverse': Another One of the Terrible Things People Hope to Put on Cable Access TV [NSFW]”
These people are sick.
I wouldn't buy anything from that sick SOB at Tucson appliance, he thinks he's funny.
Evidently he doesn't think this isn't going to hurt his business. I have news for him.
Re: “The Amy's Baking Company Saga Is Only Going to Get Weirder”
I can't believe they have the nerve to bring cyber bullying into this again... That shows that they haven't learned anything. They still think people are against them for no reason, and I don't think these people will ever change.
"Customers will be able to decide who is correct: a famous celebrity chef or the marketplace that has supported the small, locally-owned business for six years."
That sounds SO pretentious. Bake some humble pie, guys.
Re: “TV Ad Hammers Flake on Background Checks”
Flake voted to let the voices of the Gun control Bill be heard, instead of filibustered. I think that is what we need is both sides speaking the Obama Administration doesn’t do that, Obamacare is the result of Republicans voices being locked out, Flake didn’t do that. After hearing what the Bill stood for and how it was sold Flake voted against the Bill as any person honestly looking for a solution to gun murders should have.
The Gun Bill was sold as being the answer to Sandy Hook to the Denver massacres when in fact that was a lie, the Bill was just more of the same failed laws that has created a situation where Democrat voting areas have 650% HIGHER gun murder rates than the Republican voting areas with less restrictive gun laws. Profiling mental health is the answer, not more gun laws; we already have over 10,000 in place. Jeff Flake took a hit in the polls, why? Because his vote to allow discussion made the Gun supporters mad, as the vote was sold as his supporting the anti-gun crowd, when in fact it was just the anti-gun crowd misleading for por la causa again!
Again how do you explain why Republican voting areas have 650% lower gun murder rates than in the Democrat voting areas all while having LESS gun law? The answer to that question points us in the direction we need to be heading if we indeed want to “solve” these maddening tragedies!
Gun show guns are used in 1.8% of the gun murders; we have been focused on something that even if the Bill was 100% successful could impact only 1.8% of the gun murders! 100% of our efforts directed at solving 1.8% of the problem that is insanity mad dogs just barking for no reason!
I find it shameful how the Democrats and the other supporters of this failed effort used lies and deceptions to sell their position, but lies and deception seems to be how things are done these days right?
Proud Democrat? Why?
