Julius McCains Roman Empire Collapse.

2008-12-02T22:32:32Z

Gallup Poll Obama 47% - McCain 45%
Obama pulls ahead. Remind yourself only this thing. Polls dont win elections, the Electoral College does.

Obama 273 McCain 265
All things can change during the presidential debates and undecided voters. Independents still favor McCain but the percentage dropped 2%.

Senator John McCain attacks Senator Barack Obama attending a Hollywood fundraiser sponsored by Barbara Streisand, but forgot he had a Hollywood event sponsored by Jon Voight.

Media critics and some Democratic strategists are coming to the conclusion some believe race plays a factor in this election. Senator Barack Obama is regarded as a nigger to those who wouldnt [and I mean wouldnt] vote for him cause hes Black. See the merchandise some came up with. A sock monkey with Obama name stitched in the toy, a man who makes a Curious George T-Shirt with Obama 08, two men create Obama Waffles depicting him as a Muslim, Mexican, Aunt Jemima and demeaned his wife, Bill OReilly says lynching party, Rush Limbaugh says black man-child, Sean Hannity says radical, rails on and on about Jeremiah Wright. Dick Morris talks about Blacks being militant. Fox News runs demeaning stories. Lou Dobbs even buys a box of Obama Waffles. Some conservatives were leaking emails and racial division to smear the Obama Campaign. Republican Congressman Lynn Westmoreland called Obama uppity. Karl Rove called Obama arrogant. Former Clinton donor Lynn Forester de Rothschild comes out to endorse Senator John McCain, called Obama arrogant. Mark Penn former Clinton campaign strategist used some divisive comments about Obama and was one of people who spread emails about Obamas pastor and religion.

Governor Sarah Palins favorable ratings are sliding [for now]. But all is good; she will get a boost from the Obama campaigns biggest foe. Sean Hannity will give the second interview for Governor Palin. Leave it to Fox News to give the easiest ride in this election. An opinioned journalist who gives a partisan interview to a rising star in politics: Oh, I am sure the media will pan this as bias.

Senator John McCain hog ties Carly Fiorina after making two disastrous gaffes on a talk radio show and MSNBCs Andrea Mitchell. Fiorina, a former CEO stated Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin could not handle a business. Talk about trying to correct herself! In the YouTube universe, its played over and over again.

Democrats and Republicans nudged together an oil drilling [with limitations] off shore bill and may ease the tension from both political camps.

More things to come during this few moments of informing those who are willing to understand whats going on in the world! Not all people take pride in being ignorant.

Once again, thanks to all those who support my videos! Take a stand against corporate owned media by turning off the television, radio and internet smear machine off. And of course, check your facts before presenting a video. If anyone notices an error in my statement please inform me by sending a message.

Barack Obama and John McCain - Sexism

2008-10-31T22:44:47Z

Many people accuse Barack of being a sexist. But they fail to look at John McCain's actions. Whenever I ask people why Barack is sexist, they tell me something about the DNC or news pundits that don't even work for Barack Obama. But never anything directly from Obama. But McCain there is clear documented evidence of his sexism. So why the double standard?

Tim McMullen's Talkin' Herstory

2008-10-27T09:31:02Z

The history of woman at the hands of man since the dawn of MAN done as a talking blues... Discusses religion, the Bible, sexism, slavery, discrimination, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, sweat shops, the American Way, Margeret Sanger, contraception, abortion, the Pope...

Talking Herstory

Well, if you think the world is a mystery,
Then you ought to learn a little history.
Find the facts—open up your mind;
If you want to see the future,
You gotta’ look behind.
The one outstanding feature
Of the preacher and the teacher
Is what Cummings called
The “shrill collective Myth”;
That is, the lies we tell ourselves...
About ourselves...
To make ourselves
Feel better about ourselves.
Haven’t you ever wondered
Why they call it “His story”?

Now they tell the one about
Adam in the garden:
He was diggin' in the dirt
And beggin’ God’s pardon
When along came Eve
And opened up his eyes;
She said, “Here, eat this!
It’ll make you healthy and wise.”
And she was right,
So Adam took a bite,
But when God did come
(FEE-FI-FO-FUM),
He said, “I’m gonna’ take your life!”
So Adam did what any
Red-blooded, self-righteous,
God-fearing man would do:
He blamed his wife!

In those early days the boys were no fools;
So, they sat themselves down
And made up some rules:
“We men’ll be the leaders...
We’ll call ourselves...priests.”
And suddenly they saw
Their fortunes increased.
“Our job’ll be to sit here
And make up the laws
And take up collections
For other people’s flaws!

Take, for instance, the female;
You can see that she’s cursed:
In all God’s creation a woman’s the worst.
She is a creature so completely unclean
(You can see what I mean in Leviticus 15:19)
Why, she bleeds again and again...
Whether she’s wounded or not!”
You better burn those sheets, Buddy. It says so,
Right there in the Bible...Look it up!

And the times moved on,
But they didn’t much change;
Came the land of the free
And a home on the range.
A man worked hard in the blazing sun,
But a woman’s work was never done
‘Cause a man’s home is his castle—
A place where he can be free from hassle.
In his home, you know, a man is king!
Of course, you can’t have everything;
So, instead of his wife being a queen,
She’s sort of a combination
Scullery maid and baby machine!

Yes, Folks, in this land of Lady Liberty,
Both women and slaves were equally free:
Free to be punished, abused, or spurned,
While forbidden education
Or the chance to earn...a livin’,
And anything a woman was given,
Went directly into the pocket of the man.
It was a pretty good plan...
If you were a man!

She couldn’t sign a contract
Nor testify in court;
Couldn’t vote or speak in public
Or things of that sort.
You see they had this sorta’ pedestal
Men maintained for their gals—
Their conjugal partners—
Their bosomed pals.
And those men respected her station in life—
Kept her right where they knew
A man should keep his wife:
Right directly under that pedestal!
Then, out of nowhere,
A movement began,
And women were demanding
The rights of man.
Liz Cady Stanton made a declaration:
(Talking Herstory Continued)

Claimed a woman’s not a slave
Nor a decoration.
“These women,” cried the men,
“Want a revolution!”
“Just our rights,” she replied,
“Under the Constitution.
Let us learn...
And let us earn...
Then, let us further note:
We’ll accept nothing less
Than the right to vote!”
They were stoned and beaten;
They were threatened and jailed,
But they held their ground,
And somehow prevailed.
In 1920 they could finally vote—
...Only took about a hundred and thirty years—
But the wheels of justice turn painfully slow
When men throw monkey wrenches in the gears.

But men saw their chance
And invented the sweatshop—
Worked women and their kids
Till they both would drop.
They’d pay them each
Only penny’s a day;
It was a thing they called “The American Way!”
You know, the cycle of profit;
Sorry, Ma'am, no way to get off it!
Until Margaret Sanger, said,
“Our bodies are ours!
You men can come down
From your ivory towers!
More women die by giving birth
Than any other single reason
On the face of the earth.
Endless childbearing takes a murderous toll,
So, women must have their birth control!”

Finally, in 1965,
When many of us were already alive,
The court said in “Griswold”
That a man and wife
Were entitled to a contraceptive private life.
Of course, logic led quickly to Roe v. Wade,
But the Pope and other preachers
Were alarmed and dismayed,
(Not to mention afraid)
’Cause a powerless woman
Meant he had it made,
But if she rose up,
Then his power would fade.

After all of these years
Of raising her voice,
A woman finally found
That she had the choice
To decide for herself
When or if to give birth,
And millions of women
Have known what that’s worth.
But those men who lost
Both a maid and a slave
Have their own idea
Of how she should behave:
“Get her out of the man’s world
And back in the home;
Remove all her pills,
IUD’s, and her foam,
And outlaw abortion,
Take her choices away!
Give her rights to the fetus.
Praise the Lord! Let us pray...

“Let us pray that these women
Finally come to their senses
And not try to climb
Over any more fences.
They are there for a reason!
Take our word...we should know—
We built them for you,
So just go with the flow.
It’s a fact every God-Loving
man must face:
We were made in God’s image—
That’s why we lead the race.
Although women have tried
To pick up the pace,
Despite all that we’ve done
To make ‘em give up the chase...
How can we maintain our
God-given superiority
If these women keep knocking down
The barriers we build
To keep 'em in their place?”

Tim McMullen's The Voice for Choice

2008-10-27T09:31:00Z

From the collection, All's Not Fair—The Voice for Choice and other Topical Songs. This song was written in 1989 during our participation in the coalition to thwart Randall Terry and Operation Rescue and their assault on women's health care and reproductive rights. It was performed at a Pro-Choice rally in Los Angeles in '89.

The Voice For Choice

My mommy is a doctor...
My mommy is a lawyer...
My mommy is an Indian Chief...
My mommy is an employer...

My sister is a waitress...
Mine's a big-rig driver...
My aunt is a housewife...
And mine is a deep-sea diver...

My mommy is a butcher...
My mommy is a baker...
My mommy is on relief...
And mine is an undertaker!

Chorus:
All our Mothers work hard all day!
All our Sisters earn all their pay!
All our Women sure pay their way
To do what they can do.
Our Sisters must raise their voice
Our Mothers can all rejoice!
All Women must Keep the Choice
To do what they can do.

My mommy has my father...
My aunt lives alone...
My grandma has a boyfriend...
My mom is always on the phone...

My mommy has a lover,
And she is my friend, too...
My mama has been abused,
And doesn't know what to do.

Chorus:
Add [Our Brothers must add their voice]

Sweet Sixteen was so naive;
He was her very first date.
"Nothing can happen!" was all he said,
But now she's three weeks late...

My mother raised a family;
Now she's a Grandmother.
She's done well by all her kids,
But she sure doesn't need another!

Chorus:

Tim McMullen's "They Talk to God"

2008-11-20T14:44:20Z

The brilliant comedian and satirist George Carlin died yesterday, and one of the bits they ran for his obit. paralleled the line in this song about the Christians, Hindus, Muslims, and Jews. Like minds...

"They Talk to God" is the song I sang to Randall Terry and his Operation Rescue acolytes on the LAPD bus for those arrested during the onslaught against Los Angeles abortion clinics. I was the only Pro-Choice activist arrested that day (wrongfully arrested, I might add), and my song shut down the "party" on the bus. A more complete version of that day is available in my book, "Tim McMullen: Aged Fifty Years...A Life in Song."

"The Voice for Choice" and "They Talk to God" were performed at a major Pro-Choice rally in Los Angeles in 1989.
The Greatest Threat to Democracy is Hypocrisy! Seek Truth! Speak Truth!

"They Talk To God"

They talk to God,
And He tells them kill strangers
They talk to God,
He says women serve men.
They talk to God,
Then point out the dangers
Of doing what you know is right
And not following them.

They talk to God,
Then invent inquisitions.
They talk to God,
Then burn women at the stake.
They talk to God,
Then offer conditions
No self-respecting, right-thinking
Fair-minded human could make.

They talk to God (in Ireland),
Then Protestants kill Catholics (& vice-versa);
They talk to God (in Europe),
Then Christians kill Jews;
They talk to God (in Israel),
Then Jews kill the Muslims;
And Muslims and Hindus and Christians
Kill anyone any old leader might choose.

Ah, but they talk to God,
Then treat women as children.
They talk to God,
Then treat women like slaves.
They talk to God,
Then close down health clinics
'Cause God told them,
"Women are cursed
And deserve early graves."

They talk to God
(like George Bush or Sad I'm Insane),
And He tells them kill strangers.
They talk to God (like Jerry Falwell),
He says women serve men.
They talk to God (like Operation Rescue),
Then point out the dangers
Of doing what you know is right
And not following them...

...Of doing what you know is right
And not following them...
But you've got to do what you know is right
And not follow them!

Underground LIVE! w/ DJ Niko (T.V. Show on Public Access)

2008-12-02T22:48:06Z

This is footage I made for a show called "Underground Live." There is a little footage at the end from another of the "Underground" crew- DJames.

Recorded February 5, 2002
with
DJ Niko

We met Niko in Iowa City and last I heard he was in Washington DC. He made music from his PC, but once I saw him play a teakettle and an iron onstage at an experimental music concert.

This particular show's theme was "technology."

I found some old computer boards for a backdrop and some Muybridge animations to choreograph.

The Rorschach test looking footage is a sparkler that was mirrored, flipped, keyed, slowed and probably some other effects.

Final Cut!
yeah

Fox News Corporate Dress Code For Women - How Revealing!

2008-10-14T11:08:36Z

It seems that Faux Noise continues to prefer a sexist, demeaning dress code for their female on-air personalities. Typical of the notoriously sexist Fox; we talk and dress like trash, you decide. It's a shame these women go along with what seems to be a company wide preference to humiliate their female newswomen by having them appear on camera in very revealing micro mini-skirts. Looks like Kiran Chetry probably had enough.

This is really no surprise though as the Fox News Channel has always been careless in walking the line between trash and journalism. For example, they have traditionally aired photographs and videos of scantily-clad women, as well as blurred images of nudes. Media Matters has previously documented these occurrences, as well as discussions on Faux Noise programs of "hot" videos, and items on provocative attire in the workplace. Looks like they left out their own workplace.

Rather than discussing the issues seriously; Fox always opts for detracting the viewer. Instead of discussing the lies Petraeus told to Congress, Fox instead attacked a newspaper ad. Rather than discussing Hillary's health care plan, they attacked her laugh. This is just more of the same.

How revealing.
