			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With what has been going on these last several days coming out of the Middle East, I can&#8217;t but help feeling like we are ALL being lied to by the American press and the White House about what is transpiring there. It&#8217;s like I&#8217;m in the audience witnessing a well intended play, scripted  according to a theory (that this term called &#8220;democracy&#8221; is a workable practice in a religion and culture where it has never thrived and probably can never thrive), gone bad in its execution. I think that what we are all coming to find  out is that with all of our esteemed institutions of higher learning, Ivy League  grads, bumbling, smug panels replete with intellectuals and experts on CSPAN and the hourly Armageddon reports of the modern day news media, our leaders and annointed pundits don&#8217;t have a clue about either what is going on in the world or where it is we are headed. I do surmise this, OUR news media and government is (and has been for a long time) lying to us all just as much to us as those who would be accused of being in the wrong. It&#8217;s all a big PR stunt. Very troubling.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a blogsite on the web I have had my first encounter with. It is called &#8220;The Next Right&#8221;. It is found at www.thenextright.com. The site&#8217;s founding editors are <a href="http://www.sorendayton.com/">Soren Dayton</a>, <a href="http://www.qando.net/">Jon Henke</a>, and <a href="http://www.patrickruffini.com/">Patrick Ruffini</a>. The site claims to be &#8220;&#8230; the place for wired activists to build a new Republican Party and conservative movement. As a community-driven grassroots action website for the right, we&#8217;ll feature in-depth political analysis, on-the-ground reports, and strategic discussion and debate.&#8221; Now, while this site may be a place for &#8220;wired activists&#8217;, I have come to abruptly find that you have to be of a particular ilk in order to be able to join their public discourse. The editors of this site are nothing less than high school grade intellects who practice censorship if your views do not jive with their agenda, they will pull your blog post.</p>
<p>Case in point, the folks heading up The Next Right have recently been sitcking it to World Net Daily (<a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com">www.worldnetdaily.com</a>) for pushing this silly &#8220;Birther&#8221; issue regarding whether or not President Obama is a natural born US citizen and therefore uneligible to hold the highest public office in the land. To me, it is a pretty straight forward issue, black and white, cut and dry: Either President Obama was born on US soil or he wasn&#8217;t? To this date, only President Obama and his handlers truly know the answer to this simple question. To this date, President Obama and his handlers haven&#8217;t come clean with an answer! So, if a water faucet is working properly and conitnues to pump out the water it was designed to pump out and doesn&#8217;t get turned off, guess what? I think that the water is going to continue to flow! That the people who run World Net Daily and others who have earned the label &#8220;Birthers&#8221; for wishing to get a straight answer on this question get mocked and publicly chastised is, (shall I say) &#8211; BULLSHIT! It is a legitimate question which deserves an honest answer. That there would be people who claim a poitical right bent not to keep this issue at the forefront just induicated to me that the right sure does have its lot of sissies clamoring about. Or, in the case of the folks at The Next Right, clucking!</p>
<p>Whether President Obama is a real American or not isn&#8217;t going to change my life one way or the other. It will not make the Red Sea part again (if it ever really did!). It will not undo the damage caused by hurricaine &#8220;Katrina&#8221;. Nor, will it change whether or not I am going to totally go bald and lose all my teeth by the age of 90.  But, if Americans really do value the integrity of our US Constitution, President Obama needs to finally come clean with the subject. If he is clean, the issue dies and fades away. It is solved. He doesn&#8217;t seem to want that to happen. If our US Constitution is being bent or broken in order to accomodate President Obama, that should be news &#8211; BIG news! But, with people who claim to be on the right (and it shouldn;t be just folks on the right&#8217;s concern) that are opting to impose censorship on discussing the issue, I am going to cll them out on it. It is these very people that helped get President Obama elected inthe first place&#8230;..OMG, there it is&#8230;.here is the link at why they wish to impose censorship!</p>
<p>Truly, the &#8220;Birther&#8221; issue alienates the squeemish minded and those who ride the political fence, root for the San Franicsco 49ers when they win the Super Bowl, dump them then root for the Pittsburgh Steelers when they win. They are like the tide of the oceans. One minute in, the next minute out. And with friends like the censorship Nazis who run and live at The Next Right, who needs enemies?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Lance Cordill, IMHE Editor In Chief<br />
On Tuesday August 25, 2009, 11:32 am EDT</p>
<p>Mexico City (IMHE) &#8211; In a determined effort to replicate the superficial success of American President Obama&#8217;s &#8220;Cash For Clunkers&#8221; program, the government of Mexican President Felipe Calderon announced today the unveiling of its &#8220;PESOS FOR POTTYS&#8221; program. The program is being created to both stimulate a lagging Mexican economy and stem the tide of the illigal alien migration north on to American soil. Translated into broken English from uninterpreted Spanish, President Calderon said, &#8220;It is time to flush the toilet from the north and keep our illegal alien population who refuse to follow the rule of law of the United States of America here in Mexico and use their tithes, talents and traditions to further grow our great country&#8217;s economy. It is like a game of ping-pong we are playing, it is time to swat back and begin stemming our preventable flow of lost human capital. A logical first step is to raise Mexico&#8217;s toilet standard&#8217;s to that of the Gringos from the north. We can show them we can be just a resourceful of our own means as they are.&#8221; Due to the complex burocracy required to impliment the program, it is not yet clear how Mexico&#8217;s citizenry wil be paid, who will replace their used toilets or if the exchanged toilets will automatically be renderd into scraps of heap and shipped off to Red China and then be returned as sold goods to North America. No word yet from the Obama administration yet as to what America&#8217;s involvement may be in this program. The President has decreed &#8220;to be left alone&#8221; while lavishly vacationing on the American taxpayer&#8217;s dime on Martha&#8217;s Vineyard (MA).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been many things in my life. But, I have never been a kiss donkey. Sure, I was married once&#8230;trained to follow orders, wear a doggie collar, kept on leash&#8230;had to put up with partner assumptions way beyond the fold of reason&#8230;follow unfollawable, unnatural to the human condition rules. Sure, I have been involved in organizing highly trained right-winged Republican Party political operatives taking orders straight from neo-cons such as Richard Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld. Sure, I have worn a monkey suit in the corporate world cohersed to following &#8220;personal&#8221; corporate policies which brought my superiors great wealth and vacations abroad. You know I have worn the USMC &#8220;lean green, little amphibious monster&#8221; PR machine, the desert rags of Seabees constructing structures of beaurocratic waste and that ugly as poison ivy infested drab olive green and now digitized &#8220;perversity for the sake of diversity&#8221; artwork of Army custom and courtesies. But, I have never been a kiss donkey. Kiss donkeys revolt me. They stifle creativity, contribute nothing to the inner long term growth of an organism or generate meaningful solutions to pressing challenges. What they do is keep authority where authority wishes to remain, in charge. in nature, the strongest sperm cell swimmer ovulates the fertile egg. Question, &#8220;has science ever detected tail kissing among battling sperm cells on their quest to create a new life?&#8221; NO! But, in not being a kiss donkey, there is a price to pay. Once upon a time in 2005, I realized that in not being a kiss donkey, my choices were to be somewhat restricted in this highly monopolized, crap flows from the top to the bottom, if you didn&#8217;t go to an Ivy League school you will always be on the &#8220;B&#8221; team corporate world. SO, I gave it up. I turned my Brooks Brothers suits Oakley sunglasses, Allen Edmunds shoes and posters of Ashley Massaro for a pair of khaki shorts, a t-shirt and old Chuck Taylor canvas high-top sneakers. What a liberating relief! No more donkey kissing to or for anyone At least, not until this piece gets completed! For what I have learned in the last four years, these last four years of total self-absorption, the vortexes’ of Sedona, QVC and Snoop Doggie Dog is this: &#8220;If you are unwilling to play the role of a kiss donkey, you will produce non-kiss donkey results in your material life. If you are unwilling to make compromises with people who you detest, are no better than you, laugh at to their face, you will be scorned and overlooked for business opportunities. If winning intrapersonal battles takes precedent over winning interpersonal wars or achieving some sort of armistice with your competitor or partner, you are screwing yourself in the very donkey that you need to be kissed in order to truly look and play the part of Mr. Trump just coming out of another bankruptcy! If you aren&#8217;t willing to suck a little gluteus to get some maximus out of a potentially profitable situation, might as well convert over Buddhism and pray that you come back to this earthly life as some sort of &#8220;praying man(tus)&#8221; and await the return of &#8220;The Chosen One&#8221;. For the reasons stated above (and then some), I have never been a kiss donkey. But, I have been a son who once had to suck on his mother&#8217;s breasts, steal his father&#8217;s car keys in order to drive to pick-up a hott date, a total screw-up when it came to choosing the right company to work for or studying in an appropriate academic major in college which suited my personality and skills. I have always been dependent on something or someone. Could learning how to kiss some donkey really be that ego deflating? It is said, &#8220;What does not kill me only makes me stronger.&#8221; We shall see.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since I never know what is going to get published or not, this was too good to not put up for review. If you haven&#8217;t been exposed to Flirty Girl Fitness before, whoa&#8230;Billy Blanks walks the planks compared to this production! Makes me want to start Flirty Man Hipness..enjoy!!</p>
<p>&#8220;Last night changed my life. Houston based television pastor Joel Olsteen had an important message for all of us last night on ABC Family Channel. Its message was titled, &#8220;Don&#8217;t Have A Critical Spirit&#8221;. In short, the substance of the message was devoting more conscious thought into praising situations and people whenever possible rather than decrying the negativity of them. Pastor Olsteen says for us to avoid spending time in environments which will accommodate the focus of attention on the one thing that is a blemish (i.e., a tiny scratch on an otherwise beautiful creation) and those folks drawn to remembering only the one thing ever done wrong at their expense while forgetting the ninety-nine things that were done right. We&#8217;ve all had personal and business relationships with negative people who seem to solely exist to perpetuate the continuing drama of existing off of and in the negative. I&#8217;ll concede what the vast majority of us do when things are tight, not the way that we really would either wish them to be or know darn well that we can change for ourselves we if would only try: &#8220;I have been one of those negative people for a very long time. Not anymore. I have had my spiritual epiphany!&#8221; I have Pastor Olsteen and his message to thank for this. Although, perhaps not for the implied reason that a good ole redneck, tobacco chewing, beer guzzling, gun toting right-winged conservative such as myself might have you believe. Pastor Olsteen&#8217;s message was a necessary condition for my new found outlook on life. However, it was a TV ad I saw right after Olsteen&#8217;s show on VH1 which provides the sufficient condition which has me a fired up: Enter, &#8220;Flirty Girl Fitness!&#8221;</p>
<p>Hot diggity doggie no longer Governor Sara Palin Lycra splitting spandex dancing prancing! Never, ever in my life have I been so inspired to action to appreciate the finer things in life (i.e., opportunity, freedom, marketability, productivity et al) and stop dwelling in the negative than to see these female fitness models twist, swivel, contort, distort, comport, report and whatever other short and snort name that can be invented exercising themselves to life promoting a new fad in the fitness industry. And while these fitness models may have been disappointed that the majority of their physical exertion and verbal endorsements wound up on the cutting room floor, I was transported into a world which I now find has been absent for such a long time. For, while I have always believed that there is this entity I choose to call &#8220;God&#8221; (not Rush Limbaugh or Barack Obama) who walks with me on a daily basis and provides me plenty of teachable moments, I try to shun the grace we all get in being around in the first place when things are not going my way.</p>
<p>However, my &#8220;God&#8221; is a creative being. &#8220;God&#8221; certainly has a great sense of humor. &#8220;God&#8221; understands that as a human being (by nature), like you, I am a primate. I respond instinctively to events which occur within the animal kingdom. Sometimes, biology plain and simply trumps theology. Our primate relatives have known this since the beginning of time. Last night convicted me of this. Truly, I now have the &#8220;fun in da mental&#8221; with my priorities. Being motivated with life is mostly mental, isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>Joel Olsteen is a great speaker and there are plenty like him here in this marketplace. But, last night, it wasn&#8217;t God speaking to me through &#8220;the man ascending from the pulpit.&#8221; It was the &#8220;women descending from the dancing pole!&#8221; I heard the challenging words to stop being a critical spirit; I now experience the creativity of being spirited in applying the practice&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sign the petition! rejectSotomayor@yahoo.com</p>
<p>If for no other reason, this new nominee IS a blatant racist and anti-constitutionlist. Perhaps, just like her nominator? Damn, how the shoe style changes when it is put on the other foot!</p>
<p>&#8220;I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life,” said Judge Sotomayor. HER words not mine. Evidently, this racist remark will go unchallenged by the cult followers of Cult Leader In Chief Obama. Sad, a radical anti-constitutionalist will now be considered for a lifelong appointment to the United States Supreme Court. How supreme?</p>

		<description><![CDATA["What do you think we're running here, a business?"<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lancecordill.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7569398&amp;post=14&amp;subd=lancecordill&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What do you think we&#8217;re running here, a business?&#8221; So said a prominent staffer in IPFW&#8217;s School of Education Education Curriculum Lab back in grad school times as she kicked me out of the computer facility. At that time, early 1990&#8242;s, I didn&#8217;t have the wit or the gumption to snap back, &#8220;ABSOLUTELY, that&#8217;s all this place and every other college is really about &#8211; BUSINESS! The BUSINESS of higher education&#8221;. Instead, I showed my sheepish respect for authority and stopped what I was doing (conducting BUSINESS), adhered to her demand, said a few expletives towards her inside my head and went on my way. Fast forward to 2009, knowing what I know now about how MY college education was financed and I bet how several others in the same predicament as me has been, you can be sure I would have done the campus liberal activist thing and stood my ground and created as big an awareness program as I could warning about the great potential perils of what can happen when an aspiring, idealistic student (oh, don&#8217;t forget, I was and still am about BUSINESS) falls for the cunning trap of taking out excessive college loans without having a well thought out plan set in place about how they are going to be paid back. Depending on who is doing the counting, what lender is presently handling my loan repayment and how many fees and interest penalties have been assessed in my college loan history, I borrowed anywhere between $20,000 &#8211; $30,000 to pay for both undergrad and grad school. After I just received my latest loan statement from yet another mysterious purchaser of my loans (is it Great Lakes or Zion now, I am confused?) this has ballooned to over $107,000! Yikes! This sure does seem like an awful lot of money and a very unusual situation? But, after reading Alan Michael Collinge&#8217;s recent book, &#8220;The Student Loan Scam&#8221;, I sure feel much better about myself. According to this book&#8217;s author, I am a &#8220;victim&#8221; with a story to tell. Now, while I do not consider myself a &#8220;victim&#8221; by any stretch, (I did receive an initial great ideological indoctrination, started and failed at a small business, womanized myself into local gender study gossiping glory, ran for public office, agitated the living heck out of my left winged pinko biased professors by converting to conservatism) I do have a story to tell about this subject of what happens when you blow it with financing college. Because, after all, going to college is NOT about one receiving a higher education, it is about prosecuting BUSINESS. The business of higher education. Over the years, my loans have been bought, sold, re bought, resold, reconfigured, consolidated, unconsolidated, used for Xmas tree ornaments, paid for Sallie Mae employee parties, helped build the expanding infrastructure of the IPFW campus, used for others lawyer&#8217;s expenses and collection agency tactics (imagine that!) and paid for USPS stamps. I am sure there are other activities my loans have financed, too. As for the ceaseless telephone calls that I have grown numb to bother answering anymore, the meaningless collection agency threats, the promise of seizure of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness by law, after all this time, I admit it: I am drained of forever being in debt. I pray for a way out of it. As for this debt, here&#8217;s heads up: &#8220;I created every bit of it (got that beer guzzling, tobacco chewing cynic calling in on the local WOW Pat White show) and am totally responsible for every penny of it&#8221;. Case closed. After all, my name, Lance Cordill, keeps showing up on some invoice that keeps getting imputed somewhere. Therefore, I must be responsible for it. After all, it is about BUSINESS! My dilemma is, &#8220;How am I to pay this off within my lifetime&#8230;short or long? For going on twenty years now, this question has been answered solely with, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know. But, it must be paid.&#8221; I&#8217;m cool with that. This is my answer, too. I&#8217;ve got some pretty broad shoulders, plenty of egg on my face about this and the huspa to wash it off and keep on trucking. But, really, this debt now is slowly killing me. &#8220;Oh, were oh were has my UnderDog gone? Oh, where oh where can he be&#8221;? To parents of students considering taking out college loans or older, returning college students, please listen to me about this: &#8220;You can borrow as little or as much as you want to go to IPFW, TIMBUKTU U or wherever. But, if you choose a major that once you are degreed in which is in a field that can not, will not, was never meant to support your ability to pay it back in the earliest possible of times, DO NOT borrow! Join the military &#8211; just do not trust your recruiter to include that portion of your enlistment contract which guarantees a college loan repayment program! Yup per, that is another issue. But, the point is, what good is it to go to college, borrow a fortune or a pittance, if you will not be in a responsible position to pay it back? I will never own a home, a new car, any worthwhile property. I will never have a wife, children, a family to raise and support. Any chance of getting a real job anymore is negated anytime a credit check is done. I lost my ability to achieve a pertinent security clearance to continue my ability to serve in my electronics billet with the military. Short of sometimes being selected to front a promotions booking or get a TV commercial spot, the ability to generate any type of legal commerce has been rendered &#8216;kaput&#8217;. I am a slave to what was supposed to be my marketed greatest asset, getting a higher education (and I thought It was my looks!). This is not all about a series of making many small poor decisions in my younger life. It is about convincing myself that going into incredible debt to chase a couple of pieces of paper was worth it. May 14th, 2009. This is a big &#8220;NO&#8221;. So, as to whether or not, &#8220;What do you think we&#8217;re running here, a BUSINESS?&#8221;, holds any water. When it comes to paying for college, I continue to sail in the sea of this BUSINESS, the BUSINESS of higher education.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now auditioning for right-winged, conservative male with zero inhibitions about his masculinity to facilitate newly constructed gender sensitivity training for female faculty, staff and students of Indiana-Puurdue University in Fort Wayne. As the continuing politically indoctrinated female population continues to graduate from our nation&#8217;s universities at an unprecedented rate and assume positions of authority and liability, it is only expedient and proper that a little dose of their own manufactured medicine be dispensed for coherced consumption. The ideal candidate will have several years of experience in dealing with basic bio-cultural anthropological, labor, entreprenuership, marketiing, family and social issues. Basic course completion in a human sexuality a major plus, not an insignificant minor. An understanding of the physiological differences of the male and female human brain and its many complexities preferred, but a court may rule this unbiological. For more information and/or to schedule an audition, please call 260-348-8978. * This advertisement is not condoned or approved by IPFW.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[First blog here, just experimenting. Is there a way to make money from this medium? <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lancecordill.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7569398&amp;post=3&amp;subd=lancecordill&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The mere fact that I have chosen to use another blogging forum seriously indicates that I really do have too much time on my hands.  I&#8217;m supposed to be all about making money.  I am a man of commerce. It&#8217;s in my blood.  However, lately, this fascination with seeing my name replicated across the likes of Google&#8217;s search engine and other archives has been renting an awful lot of space in my head. Did I get a blood transfusion or something? Was I abducted by some alien life form which has sapped my creative ability to actively deliver a product or service which creates wealth? I just do not know.</p>
<p>I do know that this electronic medium can be a very dangerous place to lurk when making money to pay bills and developing a career which can lead to a prosperous retirement should be of the essence. And I will laugh thinking that this can ever become manifest in the Fort Wayne marketplace which I reside! It has just never happened for me living in my birthplace. All the best intentions in the world have not transpired into anything remotely financially or materially lucrative (&#8220;GOOD GRIEF, CHRIS MATTHEWS,  SHUT THE FUBAR UP! WHAT A CLOWN!&#8221;).  Almost something 40-something years of age,  Lance Cordill can get laughed at for being a fool and a loser.  But, at least when I look at myself in the mirror, I know that I have only myself to blame for any of my failures;  I have many others to thank for my successes. I am strong enough and man enough to admit and accept this. So, my alter ego is here to give me a medal! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>As of this posting on April 30, 2009, I do not know what the future holds for me (or, anyone else). So, whether the question, &#8220;To Blog Or Not To Blog&#8221;,  can be answered at all besides wasting valuable time (even though I am listening on the Internet to the Michael Medved radio show!) when I should be applying myself in the direction of creating commerce. I shall experiment with this tool for a bit.  See where it leads. There may come a time when having access to a medium like this will not be allowed (by the government and our fearless leader, OBAMA?). Most assuredly the answer to the title question would certainly be apparent.  I pray to God it never comes to that.</p>
