Should I Do vBlogs?

Seven years ago I did a bunch of vBlogs before I started this blog. Here's a sampling of them from 2007. Would anyone be interested if I starting doing vBlogs like this again? If so which kind of format (Video #1, #2, #3, etc.)?

I was thinking about doing only one a week talking about that week's news stories if anyone expressed an interest since they take so much time to make. Or should I concentrate on a single topic w/o the high production green screen razzle dazzle?

Keep in mind these are old videos that related to ongoing issues at the time. Although some of them still seem to apply.

Or would you rather I stick with the non video text type of blogging?

 Let me know what you think.. Thanks.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



UPDATE
As you can see in the comments section below there hasn't been an overwhelming surge of excited people wanting me to do these. While I appreciate Matt's lone comment, it doesn't exactly inspire me to spend several hours to look for stories, compose script, search for pictures, background sound effects plus a few additional hours in my editing software. Not that I expected a bunch of people to encourage me anyway :-)

This was yet another one of my ideas that I wanted to run pass the readers of this blog. Like some of my previous posts I was trolling for some kind of feedback/interaction.

Yeah well, guess the video idea went over like a lead balloon too. Obviously doing labor intensive videos are out for me. Oh well, I gave it a shot.

Biggest Iraq War Critic (Was) Dick Cheney

September 14, 1992



cSpan 1993



The old man should have shut up years ago while he was ahead. He along with almost all the same screw ups that got us into Iraq years ago are now on TV re-advocating we do the same thing again. I could go on and on, but I will defer to one of the more trusted names in news to explain...Jon Stewart (June 16, 2014)



The biggest thing that stood out for me was John McCain wanting to bomb almost a half a dozen countries. The old farts need to get the hell out of politics. A number of them tried and couldn't get elected or appointed to dog catcher.

There is absolutely no reason to be listening to these has-beens who are the very ones responsible for getting the middle east in the mess it is today. Don't believe me? Obviously you didn't watch the first two videos, did you? I never thought in my wildest dreams I'd a ever agree with Dick Cheney, but he couldn't have been more right back in the 90's nor any more wrong since that time.

It's a disgrace that cable news allows these old farts full of historical hypocrisy back on TV who appear to want to rewrite history and drag our asses back into these Muslim nations.


Specifically Concerning Iraq
Here is a country that never was a single government entity except in the eyes of the Western powers who drew up it's false borders. Iraq as a government would never have existed except for western interventions. It has always been a religiously based tribal area composed of three separate peoples. Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds (and factions thereof).

Which Muslim group should the United States fight for? How do you think the other two will feel about us if when we do? No matter which one or the other we support we will be less safer because of it. Shouldn't we have learned that by now! I'm sure Israel and Iran friendly Saudi Arabia has some strong thoughts on the matter.

Here's an idea.. stay the hell out of these Muslim nations. Haven't we messed things up enough already with our meddling?

Bunch Of Videos Below

I've been going over a bunch of old videos that I've posted at one time or another and later then took down.

What follows are a few videos I found which still might be of interest and have reposted them.

I removed but will repost this video I did back on October 8th, 2012 concerning creditability versus anonymity. I still feel the same way today.
