[15:40] thafreak: dude [15:40] it's amazing [15:41] where's this? [15:42] you exposing any dirty politicians... [15:42] wait, they're all dirty...you exposing any politicians? [15:43] dzho: sunlight foundation [15:43] thafreak: YEAH! [15:43] thafreak: dude I have so much data now [15:43] thafreak: I fear the next person to get into a political scuffle with m [15:43] e [15:44] paultag: you damn dirty komyoonist [15:44] oh, wait . . . [15:45] :) [15:46] you know which politicians took money from which lobying groups? [15:46] Currently, I just assume they all do... [15:46] Did you know: Goldman-Sachs gave exactly 290,750 to Mit [15:46] erm, Mitt [15:46] dbags [15:46] Sachs gives about 70/30 to Republicans/Dems [15:47] they also gave $44,750 to Obama [15:47] none to libertarians? [15:47] thafreak: no, but they did give 375,700 to the RNC [15:47] Good, I'm voting libertarian then [15:47] actually that was just the Senate [15:47] let me know who contributes to them [15:47] 55,250 to the RNC on the whole [15:47] in case I have to avoid them too [15:48] thafreak: oh sure [15:48] I'm currently voting against anyone who is currently in office [15:48] thafreak: http://influenceexplorer.com/ [15:49] and also against anyone who runs a negative ad [15:49] there's also the more crepy https://checking.influenceexplorer.com/ [15:49] and also against anyone taking bribes [15:49] which will look at your checkbook and see who you're giving money to, and who they give money to [15:49] aka "campaign contributions" [15:49] so you can see how much of your money goes to $FOO [15:50] I don't give money to political anything...closest I ever came was when I gave money to FSF [15:50] thafreak: no, I mean [15:50] oh my tax dollars? [15:50] thafreak: if you get some booze from $FOO and pay for Coors' Light, the Coors' company donates to the RNC hugely [15:50] 90% of my tax dollars are going somewhere I don't want anyway [15:50] thafreak: so you can run your checkbook through this and see where your money is going [15:50] nah, not tax [15:51] shit...never thought of that [15:51] fuckers [15:51] yeah I know :) [15:51] fuck coors [15:51] wonder who great lakes brewing company donates to [15:53] thafreak: they're not showing up [15:53] but here's coors' brewing co - http://influenceexplorer.com/organization/coors-brewing/a1a9fa5ee3fd40c89b1c6f8fcb93a50b [15:53] can i just do queries with out having to let it scrape my checking account info? [15:53] paultag: i forgot about your new job... [15:53] 1.5 million [15:53] to R [15:53] jrgifford: :D [15:53] this could be fun. :P [15:54] paultag: is this influenceexplorer FOSS? [15:54] yep [15:54] jrgifford: on github [15:54] paultag: ok. [15:54] as well as the data [15:54] wow...dreamworks is on the top of the list of donors [15:54] thafreak: yeah, they give to D pretty hugely [15:55] fucking media companies... [15:55] yeah 99% [15:55] jrgifford: https://github.com/sunlightlabs/brisket [15:55] thafreak: sunlight has identified the co. version of the 0.1%, but it's more accurate as the .01% [15:55] so now I know I can't trust the dems either for sure...thought MAYBE they gave a shit about individual rights over media conglomerates [15:55] good stuff, thanks. [15:56] thafreak: right [15:56] jrgifford: the org is https://github.com/sunlightlabs [15:56] all stuff is f/oss as a matter of course [15:56] i'm voting for int0x80 [15:56] paultag: https://github.com/sunlightlabs/alarms - google alerts, but it only searches for politicians? [15:57] jrgifford: that's ultra alpha [15:57] ok. [15:57] I don't think it's totally baked [15:57] wow, comcast gave 70% to the dems... [15:58] paultag: you guys use mongo a lot then? [15:58] why the fuck do we only have 2 political parties? [15:58] thafreak: because we can't get the others ones off the ground..? [15:58] "you can either choose a punch in the neck, or a kick to the nuts"... [15:59] either way, you'll probably pass out...then both parties will gang fuck you [15:59] we have the constitutional party, and the libertarians, not to mention the socialists and the neo nazis. we just can't get anyone to do anything other than R or D. [15:59] whohwhoh [15:59] Oh I know...I vote libertarian usually...and everyone says I throw my vote away [16:00] I want a good CPUSA canidate [16:00] and I want him or her to be a Marxist. [16:00] atleast I'm not voting for the people raping this country... [16:00] lol. :P [16:01] I think if we got rid of political campaigns all together, the country would be in alot better shape [16:01] you want to be president...fine [16:02] I'd rather have lots of pre-elections where we start with 1million candidates and whittle it down to 10 for the final elections, than have to watch stupid fucking commercials [16:02] thafreak: are you advocating a return to the pre-james garfield days, where the candidates would stay at home, practicing law/their profession? [16:02] i mean the current system, they start 1-2 years ahead of time anyway, [16:03] no, I'm advocating banning campaign ads [16:03] everyone gets an equal opportunity to run for election [16:03] even homeless bums should have the same chance as a fucking kennedy [16:04] i love that idea. [16:04] anyone who wants to run, fills out a form [16:04] then we just need a process for the people to choose which of the millions who want the office to pick from [16:04] no one is allowed to run ads on tv or in the paper [16:05] hell, we're all digital now... [16:05] we should just build a database of all the people who want to run, and collect stats about them, and how they would vote on stuff [16:06] then people can search the db for all the candidates they're insterested in that meet their criteria [16:06] like match.com for potential politicians and their constituents [16:07] get rid of the electoral college too, and have it come down to 100% the people's voice [16:07] force people to do homework about who they're actually voting for and not just go by whatever negative thing they saw on tv [16:10] Sorry, I'm done ranting...didn't mean to take over the ubuntu ohio channel with non ubuntu talk :) [16:13] I think corporations should be people [17:29] So anyone looking for a Linux admin job in the akron area? [17:30] I keep getting hounded by recruiters for this job...and now a non-profit (jumpstart) who helps startups, is also looking to fill this same position [17:30] I think they're desparate and will probably pay well [17:30] they are looking for some one with LPIC, so that shows they atleast know what to ask for in an admin [19:17] so I need a picture of a smallish explosion (like from a pipe bomb)...doing a google image search of "pipe bomb explosion" gets a LOT of mug shot photos... [19:18] also probably gets me on a watch list somewhere [19:41] thafreak: oh my jumpstart. been months since i heard that... [19:41] Cheri703: lol? [19:41] I just found it interesting [19:42] I was making a sympathy card for someone... [19:43] with a picture of an explosion on it [19:43] that sounds... appropriate. [19:43] it says "What does your sad news have in common with a pipe bomb?" on the front, and inside it says "It really blows!" (the guy will appreciate the sentiment, he's not so much a mushy whatever person) [19:44] lol. [19:44] it has a pic of a pipe bomb on the front and an explosion inside [19:45] Ahaha! Nice one! [19:46] anyway, now I have to get ready for work. have a good day guys :) [20:30] Cheri703: Make your own pipe bomb, blow it up, take pictures. :D [20:32] I like that idea, but I may want to get invited to watch, not go to prison :P
