lets fight to make America the great country it once was
I have been off work for 10 months. prior to that I had never Bloged nor did I know what blogging was. Now i'm addicted to blogging. I go back to work soon and well probably suffer with-drawls. Anyway other blogger have made comments to me that I must be a lonely man or that my life must be really sad to post and argue the stuff I do. Well when I read those statements I always laugh and if my woman is around I'll read her the comment and we both laugh and agree if you only knew how lonely and sad I am you would probably feel sorry for me. God I cant wait to get back to work. It is not good for a man not to work. It makes him kinda whacko, at least it does me. My question is there are several people that post on here all the time.
Dutch citizen journalism site to pay contributors by launching pay-per ...
Dutch citizen journalism site Skoeps is to introduce a pay-per-view system for its users, as part of plans to increase revenue for its contributors. The site already offers a daily reward of €250 for the best photo or video submitted to the site and gives contributors half the fee for any content sold to other media. It is hoped the new payment system, which will be implemented in the next two to three months, will encourage more contributors and increasing traffic to the site, Marcel Houtman, managing director of Skoeps International, told Journalism.co.uk. In smaller markets, such as Holland, payment to citizen journalists is essential to encourage them to participate, Houtman added. Skoep will cease spending on advertising this year and instead use the same sum to pay contributors.

Clinton set to fight on after March 4th
Two of the biggest turnarounds vis-a-vis polling and actual results have occurred in New Hampshire and California, where larger than expected turnout among female voters (in New Hampshire) and Hispanics (in California) proved decisive, further emphasising the key role that racial and gender demographics have played in this years Democratic nomination contest. In Texas, Obama has a strong lead among blacks (85% to 8% according to Zogby), Mrs Clinton has a substantial advantage among Hispanic voters (55% to 33%) whilst the two are effectively tied among whites, suggesting the relative turnouts among blacks and Hispanics (respectively 21% and 24% of voters in the 2004 primary) could be crucial in determining the outcome of the statewide popular vote, a vote which both candidates realise has enormous propaganda value despite delegates being awarded based on outcomes in individual senate districts and precincts.
