“It was made all over the United States; my assistant had to run around everywhere,” Ken Borochov, the designer of the stand-out set of wheels told The Daily Beast. Ken admits that he has never met Gaga, but believes that he will “when the time is right.”
A healthy dose of suspicion and skepticism never hurt anyone. In fact, you might say that its good for you. If you believe in Einstein’s Theory of Evolution, the human genome would have never made it outside the primordial soup if it hadn’t had a basic hunch (well, as much a hunch as a complex, organic polymer could have) to access the hostilities of a new environment and gradually mutate, adapt and conform to it. Its in our DNA to be suspicious of things that “just don’t smell right.”
Grounded in our primitive nature is the capacity to be wary of the bigger, more powerful among us (predators) conspiring against the weaker, smaller among us (prey). We like to use words like “civilized” and “cultured” when describing ourselves, but in actuality we use them to convince ourselves that we are no longer the ‘animals’ that we once were. But our Merriam Webster definition of those adjectives do not do much to subdue a compulsion to behave the exact opposite. WE ARE greater than that, but we haven’t as of yet embraced it fully as a group. Watch any episode of Animal Planet and see if some of the behavioral patterns of our fellow creatures seem somehow familiar...
This is not meant to sound harsh, because there’s really nothing for us to be ashamed of. We are what we are after all, and there is only room to evolve even further until we reach our pinnacle, whatever and wherever that may be.
As mentioned earlier, our base instincts are what keeps us alive in this physical world, so by Human standards a little paranoia is a damn good thing. Read the rest of this entry
Anderson Cooper of CNN‘s 360 has done this before, and is doing it again. He has brought another elected official on his show, and given him a chance to explain his position, or sink trying.
On the program, stamped November 30th, Mr. Cooper brought Texas State Representative, Leo Berman to discuss a bill that Mr. Berman said is needed because “we have a president that the American people don’t know whether he was born in Kenya or some other place.”
The conversation immediately goes into the reasons why Mr. Berman, an elected Representative in Texas believes the President is not a citizen of the United States. And like other times when false views are presented on his show, Anderson Cooper brought the facts and totally shows how dumb this Berman character and his birther believes really are.
Other so-called journalists should take a page from Mr. Anderson and his interview skills. News agencies are more concerned these days with ratings, rather than point out when their guest are wrong on basic issues.
Enjoy the smack down below.
