Tease...

Here's a tease. :)  It's coming along...  The right side of the image shows an earlier demo running on an emulator for the first time.

New Majora's Mask Clock Widget Beta In The Works! (v.3.13.11.15)

I have just uploaded a new beta to the Play Store.  This is one focuses on making the settings screen more appealing.  To that end, I have completely removed ads and have separated the settings into 3 pages: Behavior, Sound&Vibration, and Graphics.  There is also a fourth page which gives my email address and provides an easier access to donations, without having a huge DONATE button on the screen the whole time. :)

Everything It Touches (Turns To Crap)

I've made a song (dance style) using clips from Mark Levin's radio show (and a single clip from Rush's show; he sings backup, my wife's favorite element of the song, lol :) ).
You can play it here.  I strongly recommend headphones!! :)



I'll edit this post later with the lyrics pasted below.
Apparently I have this song memorized.  I didn't have to consult the song once to type these up, lol. :)

Lyrics

Chorus

Everything it touches turns to crap
         Rush (after 1st chorus): Everything this has touched...)
Everything it touches turns to crap
         Rush (after 1st chorus): ...has gone to excrement)
Everything it touches turns to crap
         Rush (after 1st chorus): ...has gone to excrement)
Everything it touches...turns to crap

Verse 1

Big government is a wrecking ball, turns everything to crap.
Look at the great disaster done by those bureaucrats!
Our liberty is in a thousand pieces - to the left it doesn't exist.
Scores of bureaucracy killing wealth, this market's extremely sick.

[Chorus]

Verse 2

Society is destroyed by these temporary politicians.
Listen to how they speak and how they look at the Constitution!
They've been grabbing power as fast as they can - that's all they do is grab!
Land grabs!  Health care grabs! Job and industry grabs!

[Chorus]

...turns to crap.

Bridge

Economy's crap right now.
The job market's crap.
The housing market's crap right now.
Let's recap.

[Bridge]

[Bridge simultaneous with Chorus x 2]

Verse 3

When did they seize all of this authority, which does not belong to them?
"In the name of the people" you stole it!
You violate the Constitution!
When we vote, we get to decide whether we change Washington!
Conservatives, come roaring back! (back...back...)

[Chorus x 2]

All You Need To Know About The Potential U.S. Default

BACKGROUND INFO (you can skip this):
The definition of default is, "failure to fulfill an obligation, esp. to repay a loan".
The obligation of the U.S. is the interest on the debt, amounting to (in 2012) $220 billion dollars. If the U.S. fails to pay this interest it will default.

The U.S. takes in, without borrowing, $2.5 trillion (or $2500 billion, again in 2012). Do the math, and you can see that we take in more than 10 times what is needed to pay our interest - in other words we have the money, without borrowing, to pay our debts and prevent default.

The President of the United States, Mr. Barack Obama, is the direct authority over the Treasury Department. The Treasury Department has the authority to prioritize what it spends money on. The 14th amendment (section 4) requires our debts to be honored. The constitution therefore places our debt payments above any other payments.

The President of the United States, President Barack Obama, swore twice, once in 2009 and once in 2012, to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.

THE LOGIC:
- The constitution requires the U.S. debt be honored (i.e. that we do not default).
- U.S. defaults only when the interest was not paid.
- The interest is only not paid when we don't have enough money OR we choose not to spend the money on the interest.
- We have enough money, therefore we chose not to spend the money on the interest.
- We only choose not to spend the money on the interest if the Treasury or Congress makes that choice. For Congress to make this choice, it must intentionally pass a bill NOT to pay the interest.
- Congress has not passed such a bill, therefore the choice not pay the interest could not have originated from Congress. The choice must have originated from the Treasury Department.
- The President of the United States has direct authority over the Treasury Department and can thus direct its actions. Thus, if the Treasury Department chose not to pay the interest, the President either allowed it, directed it, or had it happen without his knowledge.
- Given the President's attention to the current issue, it is unlikely that the Treasury Department would make the choice without the President's knowledge. Pending any evidence supporting this, it is most likely that the President allowed the Treasury Department not to pay the interest on the debt, or directed the Treasury Department to do so.
- Since the President swore to honor the Constitution, we can conclude that he swore to honor each section of the Constitution. 
- Since honoring the debt is a section of the constitution, it can be concluded that his oath to uphold the Constitution included honoring the debt.
- Relying on earlier points, we can conclude that he swore that he would neither direct nor allow the Treasury Department not to pay interest on the debt (which would cause the default).
∴ (therefore), If the U.S. defaults, the President has violated his oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States.

Most of this research is creditable to Mark R. Levin and sources he has cited on his radio show over the past few years.
