Favorite Commercial Of The Year

In 2013, I didn't really have a favorite commercial, so I dug up my favorite from 2012. It was the commercial for the Obama campaign, calling out Mitt Romney for his attack on Public Television and Sesame Street. Some of this years big headlines in the news, such as Edward Snowden and the NSA spying techniques and Obamacare's misalignment into practical use, have distracted our attention from those who have used elected and appointed position, social or judicial power, invested or borrowed money, and public trust to rob, abuse, and deceive. Any bites taken out of education or learning can only make easier victims out of members of the general population. Shame on anyone who wants to limit or control educational broadcasts for children. While Sesame Street only allowed the Obama campaign to use Big Bird for a couple of days in order to make a point, I think we all need to turn our attention back to the white collar criminals who have real potential to destroy local and national economies and ruin lives. This spoof on Romney remains my favorite commercial.

Favorite Picture From 2012

 
One more "favorite" from 2012; my favorite picture. Actually, there are two. I took them during the solar eclipse on May 20. I did not have decent lenses for filming a solar eclipse, and every store local to me that carries them was sold out several weeks before the eclipse, so they were taken through my husband's welding visor.

 

Favorite Video Of 2012

Here's my favorite video from 2012, right after the election! This guy is hysterical!
 

Favorite Troll Of 2012

My favorite troll on 2012....lets see....I have a few from which to choose! Okay, it's narrowed down to two, a runner-up and a winner! The runner-up is Marceline Perrot, of Canada. In addition to harassing me here, she comments frequently on the Oregonian, slamming any and all who wish the parents of missing children from the Northwestern United States well. Her moniker there is "Mazama", and she thinks that the plate numbers of cars are private, and that it should be against the law to post a picture of a car that includes the licence plate. Before complaining about me, she overlooked the number of people who had, undoubtedly, seen the car in question, plates and all, long before a picture of it appeared on this blog. To Marceline Perrot, I have this to say:

 

 

My favorite, however; is Sandra Lessman, of Lowell, Oregon. This woman also has an affinity for trolling others on the Oregonian, using multiple online monikers, but goes everywhere she can on the internet, not only trolling, but scamming. Her latest scam endeavor is a Facebook page called Kyron's Kubs, which has taken advantage of the names of others affected by a tragedy without their permission or approval. By all appearances, it seems that Sandra Lessman's true purpose is to hinder Oregon law enforcement in any way she can. Kinda makes me wonder what else goes on at 501 N. Moss St., but I'm sure her probation officer keeps tabs. Happy New Year, Sandi Lessman!

 

Favorite Quote Of 2012

 Here's the quote of 2012 that I think is most worthy of note: "Corporations are people too, my friend!" If Mitt Romney really thought this was true when he said it, he would never have stood a chance if he had to make it in this world on his own, without any financial or other assistance from his family and church. People vote, corporations do not, (thank the Gods he lost the election....would the "votes" of his corporations have been more important to him that the votes of the people?) and corporations can be bought and sold, while people cannot be bought and sold.

Favorite Commercial Of 2012

What totally weird and crazy stuff we have seen on TV in 2012! When I was young, people were usually too repressed and concerned with maintenance of their facades to say the things on national television that come across the airwaves now! From all of 2012's entertaining and amusing offerings, I'm gonna have to say that Obama's campaign advertisement after the first presidential debate with Romney, calling out Romney on his silly comments about cutting the funding for public television and Big Bird is my favorite commercial of 2012!
