The award goes to...



You ask for it, you got it! Round 2 of the StandinUp2theMan Awards. I must say these are a bit easier to come by than normal. There are alot of people Giving the the proverbial "man" the big salute lately.

I am going to start with you. Well, most likely you. There are over are 175 million people actively involved in the facebook world. I am not sure just how many of you gave Mark Zuckerburg, CEO of Facebook, a little piece of your mind about the recent so called "privacy" changes he tried to slip by you, but It was ALOT.When he decided he was going to basically own you, or at least anything posted onto facebook for..EVER, you didn't stand for it. Between Mr. Zuckerburg, and Chris Kelly, Chief Privacy Officer, facebook has head their heads spinnin in a whirlwind of confusion. The best part,Chris Kelly was hoping to run for the Democratic nomination for Attorney General. ATTAWAY TO WIN THE POPULARITY CONTEST CHRIS.

My Next award goes to former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. At CPAC on Feb 27,2009 he was originally supposed to speak for 20 minutes. His speech ran about an hour, without teleprompter. He addressed the Attorney General, and his recent comments on America being a Country of Cowards. He challenged Attorney General Holder to a conversation about cowardliness. He said Americans were not cowards, and basically would not stand to be govern by people who would not tell the truth. At one point he referred to members of the house as robots, for voting on the bill without knowing what was in it. Taking humorous jabs at Pelosi,saying that a certain part of Obama's speech should become a youtube video, (when he attacked CEO's who have private planes). "She would hyper actively jump up like oh my gosh I'm speaker I have to applaud right this very second!", he said, "How dumb do they think we are? Like we don't know every single person in here is paying taxes to fly her around in her private plane. You can paint US AIR FORCE on it, doesn't mean it isn't private." He said what alot of Americans are thinking. He said it out loud, and he said it proud. He wasn't afraid to voice his opinion about the events that have gone on, and are continuing, he had ideas to lead the republican party down the road, and he was unbelievably secure in standing up to the man.
