McCain Needs to Make Nice with the Conservatives

February 7th, 2008 by tad

The race for the Republican nomination is growing near a close and with Huckabee bringing surprisingly high numbers in the south this race may be closer than a lot of people initially thought. McCain really wants this nomination but with the conservatives not too happy with him that may be a little bit of a problem. It looks like McCain might have to do a little brown nosing to a party that he is not to fond of if he is going to try and secure his place in the next election. Let’s just see if he is willing to do it.

Funny Political Video

February 5th, 2008 by tad

I just read a press release about a company called GetFave.com. They are said to be Chicago’s innovative local search engine. Well apparently they announced today the launch of local candidate Jay Paul Deratany’s video satire to run. This thing will is leading up to the February 5 primary election and is supposed to be pretty good. It was actually produced by Jib Jab a humorous company that produces some of the best and most hilarious videos on the internet. If you want to see it you can check out Deratany Satire on GetFave.com. You will see what I mean after you check it out.

There is all sorts of different stuff going on this video from money flying around at random to campaign promising flying around at random as well. Then on top of it all the whole thing is animated like a bad cartoon, but I think that is a big part of what makes it funny. In the end it flashes with a nice little political poster of Vote for Jay Paul Deratany for Cook County Board of Review. I don’t know if he will win or not but based on the video I think he stands a pretty good shot of getting the younger vote.

Finding Your Way Out of Debt

February 5th, 2008 by tad

When it comes to managing your day to day life most people don’t have a problem. Don’t get me wrong, everyone struggles with different things in their lives whether it be time management or balancing your work life and your home life. The thing is that out of all of the things that people struggle with the one most common struggle that people have is debt management.

Let’s face it, most of you reading this article are in debt. The average American is approx $17,000 in debt. For more I just wish it was only $17,000. I am pushing almost six figures in debt but the one advantage that I have over most people is that I know how to manage it. Most people struggle managing their $17,000 worth of debt and end up missing payments and going downhill from there. That is because living in debt is a very difficult thing to do and getting yourself out of debt is even more difficult than that. Personally, I would consider it more of an art than anything else. Then again, staying out of debt is where you go from an art to a miracle. It is almost impossible for the average person to actually stay out of debt. As a matter of fact, the only people that I have ever met that were able to completely stay out of debt where the people who couldn’t find any companies to actually give them credit in the first place.

That is why debt consolidation and debt management is such an important business. Check out this debt consolidation overview to get a better understanding of debt management and how to get yourself out of it. From there you will really get some good information that will hopefully not just help you manage your debt better but to also get yourself out of debt, for good.

Interested in the 2008 Elections?

February 1st, 2008 by tad

If you are more than a little interested in the upcoming 2008 elections then I have the perfect site for you. I cam across this press release about this new website called ElectionQlips that is all about the 2008 elections. Well, they have just released QlipMedia, which is an entire community of Presidential themed election videos and forums. It is a place where people can go and talk about the upcoming election and share their opinions and thoughts. I have included a copy of the press release that I found so if you are interested you can check it out for more information.

Press Release:

QlipMedia (http://www.qlipmedia.com) has just launched the public beta version of ElectionQlips (http://www.electionqlips.com), a new destination to discuss all that is Election 2008. Readers can share their comments with the community and leave comments on Presidential Election themed video posts using their recorded voice, free-hand drawing, and images to let everyone know what they think and how they feel about every point in the posted debates, ads, punditry and stump speeches.

As the nation’s attention increasingly focuses on the outcomes of the ongoing primary elections and the general election to follow this November, viewers of ElectionQlips can stayed tuned to all the exciting action, including voice and video comments of their fellow citizens. And anyone can bring their wit and wisdom to bear on the debate of the moment, commenting to their heart’s content with their own voice and images.

The blogosphere has always been about giving a voice to common ‘netizens’, while democratizing the dissemination of the news and opinion. But heretofore that voice has been confined to the two dimensional world of the written word. The broad appeal of video has added a third dimension, a layer of contextual relevancy just not possible with the written word alone. Blog commenting has been similarly constrained by the same technical barriers. ElectionQlips brings multimedia blogging full circle, giving blog commenters the ability to post live, multimedia comments right on the videos they’re viewing in their own voice, using their own doodles and images.

• 100+ million blogs in existence
• 1.5 million blog posts per day
• 1 blog with multimedia commenting capability

ElectionQlips users can take their election debate with them by sharing the link and embedding the player anywhere. On the video timeline, it’s easy to bring out all the facts with every detail of the debate through point-by-point analysis. The density of comments at every point let’s one see what’s hot and what’s not in every debate.

The goal of ElectionQlips is to make it possible for everyone to participate in any debate, discussion and controversy using their own voice. Commenting on blog posts is a common enough, ElectionQlips gives an edge over other contemporary election blogs, especially with respect to sharing your comments and opinions.

About QlipMedia:
