October 6, 2002

This story took me several weeks to finish. As you notice the date I started is a month ago. I am posting this on July, 22 2009. October 6, 2002 It is a day I will remember for the rest of my life. I was working the 10pm to 6 am shift at the Bay County Jail Annex in Panama City Florida. During that time the facility was under the direction of a private company called, Corrections Corporation of America (C.C.A.). I was approaching my two year anniversary with the company, having worked my entire time in corrections at the Bay County jail and jail annex locations. It was a shift like many others. That night I was scheduled to be the "transportation" officer, which meant I would be responsible for transporting inmates to and from the annex for whatever reasons there might be. Some of those reasons might include; release from custody which was done through the downtown jail, early morning trips to the main jail downtown for holding until court, and trips to the hospital should th...

Southern California girl gets dying wish to see movie 'Up' Associated Press Posted: 06/19/2009 09:16:59 AM PDT Updated: 06/19/2009 09:18:28 AM PDT HUNTINGTON BEACH — A 10-year-old Southern California girl has died after getting her last wish: to see the movie "Up." Colby Curtin of Huntington Beach had advanced vascular cancer and couldn't watch the Disney-Pixar movie in a theater. Her mother says Colby desperately wanted to see the animated film about a man who flies off in his house to fulfill a dream after his wife's death. A friend managed to contact Pixar, and on June 10 a company employee arrived with a DVD copy at Colby's house. Colby's mother says she asked her daughter if she could hang on until it arrived. The girl said she was ready to die but added: "I'm going to wait for the movie." By then, Colby couldn't open her eyes but her mother described the scenes. Colby died that night. If you are not in tears you are a sad, cold ...

Evil Axes

Hillary Clinton takes a substantial number of voters (female voters). John McBush names Palin as his number 2 dummy. Obama becomes the first black president, RNC names its first black (not to many to choose from) leader. Obama puts forth a plan to save our nation, what is the counter response...before I show you let me warn you...it is not a different/better plan. It is not even a plan at all. Take a look. Senator calls Obama 'world’s best salesman of socialism' Posted: 10:23 AM ET From CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby WASHINGTON (CNN) – Another prominent Republican told the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday that the president’s spending plans are pushing the country to the brink of socialism. Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, the only member of the senate to earn a perfect rating from the American Conservative Union, called President Obama “the world’s best salesman of socialism” on Friday in describing his prime time speech earlier this week. DeMint, a fie...

Learn who should go to prison.

Above are 4 video previews (watch from top down, as they are in sequence) from a brand new PBS "Frontline" video that airs tonight at 9 eastern time. Please tune in to learn who is really responsible for stealing from America, and who should be in jail/prison. And for any pinheads who think a free market is not to blame you are correct it is low life greedy pieces of shit who look for every chance to either break the law or avoid the spirit of the laws and regulations that are in place to keep everything running smoothly so we don't face the exact issues we are now living with.

Speak out!

First let me begin by saying, if I offend you in this posting you just might in fact need to be offended. I have been watching with great concern the proceedings in Washington DC in regard to the newest economic "Stimulus" plan. Time after time elected officials from EVERYWHERE in our country, republicans and democrats alike scurry to find a T.V. camera to spew their expertise in all matters economic. I would like someone to explain to me when it became acceptable to imagine that simply because one becomes elected to hold office they then become immensely knowledgeable in all ares of life? Just because someone has an opinion on a subject does not make them smart. Every president does what they believe to be correct in assembling the persons needed to solve whatever issues that face our nation. This is done either through cabinet picks or in consulting those they feel have the best thoughts, ideas and expertise in any given area. Often times highly regarded scholars or Nobel p...

I'm Back!

Well I took a little time off (As if I get paid). I would like to start by saying to everyone who stood in disagreement over the past election cycle, thank you. I also want to take this time to explain what I feel is the reason those who voted for McCain will soon be relieved he in fact lost. Our new president will create a plan using his energy policy that will in comparison, dwarf in size and scope that of the "New Deal". I submit it will be so comprehensive few will understand its impact for several years. The best way to explain its purpose is to demonstrate how and why it is needed NOW and not later. For as long as we can remember we have neglected all things related to this nations infrastructure/future. The motto has been the same all across the land, be it in local, state, or federal governments. That motto was, "If we invest in those things now we will not be able to maintain all the services the people demand without creating the means to pay for those servic...

Fatherhood.

Never will a man be more successful than to be a good father. I may be speaking with a bias simply because I have the greatest daughters. It really is true. I don't say it because they are mine and everyone says that about their children, I say it because they've proven it every day. They have been through so much, and yet they remain honor roll students their whole lives. They treat others with respect and kindness just as they would want to be treated. I admire them very much, they will never know how much joy I feel watching as they grow up...learn... and become young adults. Some day I hope to give them what they have given me....The World...

Poem: My Tears.

My Tears by: David Pittman Like the river of life, they stream down my face. My Tears. Filled with the worry and pain, wondering if I am on the right track. My Tears Holding the joy of beholding my daughters, smiles. My Tears Am I the best father, can I be a better husband, who wants me as a friend. My Tears Can I change the world, change my world, or just change a life. My Tears They come to often, they come to easy, why do they even come at all. My Tears Am I crazy, am I less of a man, or could I be more. My Tears Copyright ©2008 David Pittman

The Future is Now. Yes We Can.

I will continue in my efforts to share my Kool-Aid, below is a new web site for Americans to take part in their government in a way never before seen in politics. I took a class last semester called "Campaign and Elections." It was a great look into the process of electing the leaders of our nation at all levels. The strangest thing is how little information there was out there in regards to electronic media and its role in the process. I can't remember if professor Hildreth was as certain as I about this issue but, I said it then and many times after that the Internet is and will continue to be the largest single factor in future elections especially in national contests. Current research done by Pew research shows the following: Source for Campaign News . Online, e-mail, text=46% Cable News=39% Newspapers=34% Network News=29% So there is your proof, and here is the link. http://change.gov/
