MORE OBAMA MEDIA HYPOCRISY

#Obama complains about bloggers and radio says nothing about cable TV like MSNBC! http://t.co/fjZGTeWy1Z … via@POLITICO #newmedia #hypocrisy

FREE AT LAST

For the past two months I've been working full time in Washington D.C. on a refab and upgrade of a technical facility. Unfortunately, that has not allowed me much time or energy to post on this blog. But, the project is ending this week so expect to start seeing more postings soon. There are a lot of issues I've been wanting to comment on and hopefully will soon have the time to do just that.

Where I've been.

I've not posted for awhile but, not because I've had noting to say. Indeed there is a lot of things to post about Obamacare, illegal immigration etc... The problem is I've been working full time since early March and that has not allowed many hours in the day to blog and still allow time for other more important aspects of one's life. But, I will be back posting more soon as this work situation will be ending soon allowing more time for posting.

Time: Person of the Year.

Well imagine coming back to the United States after being away from keyboards, monitors and the mainstream media for a week to read this:

You were named Time magazine "Person of the Year" on Saturday for the explosive growth and influence of user-generated Internet content such as blogs, video-file sharing site YouTube and social network MySpace. -Reuters 12/17/06

BCP has been named Time magazine's Person of the Year! Well, me and millions of other bloggers anyway. I humbly accept this honor and pledge to continue speaking truth to power, holding the mainstream media to account and keep on with the struggle to make sure both parties in this country stop harming the middle class who have made a country like the United States great. Here is the money quote from Time:

"It's about the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes," -Lev Grossman

However, this is no time to be uncorking the champagne as there are forces out there who want to take away the freedom and power we bloggers now enjoy on the net as Jonathan Rintels points out. So the struggle for freedom and the free flow of ideas continues as it has over the ages and it is a struggle that we all as individuals need to win. So I will take a few moments to bask in the glow of the Time Person of the Year honor, knowing full well that the work to keep freedom alive for the individual requires constant vigilance.
