Quickies

Saturday, October 11th, 2003

Some quick links to items that warrent reading but don’t warrent their own individual post.
I’ve always thought Rush somewhat pompus and somewhat less than a diehard conservative. But I’ve seen the effect back pain has on people so without condoning nor condeming good luck Rush, get well.
Someone else in Indiana read Kay’s report and found […]

oh the duplicity

Saturday, October 11th, 2003

Not but a few hours after writing about a liberal suggestion that Democrats fire all the Republicans at their work place I find another liberal whining about the “Republican Power Grab” leading to a one-party system in 2008 because Republicans are
The Republicans are getting their grubby hands into every facet of life in this […]

Speaking of reaping

Saturday, October 11th, 2003

The Republican landslide in ‘94 is probably the radical shift in political party seats which most of us recall as being significant. But there has been a growing trend away from the Democrat part over recent years (though I would argue it is a trend of the Democrat party away from the American people) […]

Arnold the Groper and why it just didn’t matter

Saturday, October 11th, 2003

MAUREEN DOWD, one of my least favorite pundits, hits the nail square on the head on why Arnold aka the Groper didn’t suffer at the polls for his sexual exploits and the (supposed) groping allegations:
Feminism died in 1998 when Hillary allowed henchlings and Democrats to demonize Monica as an unbalanced stalker, and when Gloria Steinem […]

LaPierre on studies

Saturday, October 11th, 2003

Now that the CDC has made the case that their is no case for gun control Wayne LaPierre is reminding everyone of the phony “studies” from recent years. So are the earlier false studies now to blame for Britian’s total collapse? Were it so no one would put it on the front page […]

The Gubenator Wins

Saturday, October 11th, 2003

The California election results are an interesting read. It is worth looking closely at the percentages in the maps lest anyone fall for the ruse that Gov Davis wasn’t thrown out by an overwhelming majority of California voters. More voters, in fact, than sent him to Sacremento to begin with.
Some of the more […]

Know the [political] Enemy

Thursday, October 9th, 2003

Sometimes their own words speak for themselves and no additional commentary is necessary. From a post at the Democratic Underground:

This is very important because in order to win we must understand the way the average American thinks. I’m afraid WE have nothing in common with them.
I came to the two following conclusions when I […]

Design thru Refactoring?

Sunday, October 5th, 2003

I don’t consider myself a “programmer” for several reasons. One of the main reasons is that I have penchant for flying by the seat of my pants. The outcome is in my head, the means at hand and I create the road as I go. (another is that other than a little […]

The Saga Continues - Dave Barry & the Telemarkerts

Sunday, October 5th, 2003

For those who have not followed Dave’s exploits against the American Telemarketers Association you can trot over and read his most recent discourse on the subject.

More on McClintock, Arnold & the GOP

Sunday, October 5th, 2003

More from others on why McClintock is the conservative choice in California.
Tom Ambrose expounds on Why Tom McClintock must finish the race. Unfortunately for California Ambrose also lists exactly why the NeoCons and Democrats are doing what they can to destroy McClintock
he [McClintock] is articulate on the issues, he has not compromised on […]

Hot Keys in Browsers?

Saturday, October 4th, 2003

While looking for an old article on CSS and lists I ran across a more interesting one on navigation with Access Keys in websites. It actually spends more time explaining a way to use CSS to indicate which letter in an anchor word is the hot key than it does on how to add […]

Libertarians endorse GOP’s McClintock

Saturday, October 4th, 2003

I have a few issues with the Libertarian Party that has kept me from completely abandoning the Republicans. Now it looks like Libertarians in California are jumping the Libertarian ship for a Republican candidate that actually has a chance at victory.
McClintock is the only candidate who is prepared to veto the reckless […]

Doctors Agree

Saturday, October 4th, 2003

I’ve always known the Hippocratic oath forbids abortion. Now The American Association of Physicians and Surgeons finally agree:
if religion is removed from the issue of abortion of a human child, without life as the ultimate ethic, no objective ethical standard remains

Own Effective Arms

Saturday, October 4th, 2003

Snips from Oleg Volk’s A Human Right website article on owning effective firearms:

People who wish you defenseless often claim that effective defensive rifles and shotguns have “no legitimate sporting use” …. Remind them that the concept of a “sporting use” comes from their spiritiual forebears, the Nazis

they do not tell you that your sniper rifle […]

Other Tidbits & Diversions

Saturday, October 4th, 2003

Cuba says Gov. Bush urging attack to take Cuba away from the Commies. Boo-hoo… go for it Jeb. I have yet to understand how Kennedy bungled it so badly that we ended up with a Commie haven 90 miles off our coast for all these years.
Arizona voters back plan on illegals to stop […]

RINO’s & NeoCon’s Taking Over

Saturday, October 4th, 2003

On the heals of my thoughts on Republicans becoming traitors to morality and conservatism I found a couple of additional pieces of interest along a similar vein:
Last week I was following a lead on Arnold who (along with the Bushs and many others) belongs to the Bohemian Club who purportedly worship of the Owl […]

GC Studies & “The Ban”

Saturday, October 4th, 2003

Here is some bad news for the Anti’s as the U.S. Report Fails to Link Gun Laws to Violent Crime. Like we didn’t already know this.
The Violence Policy Center is launching its campaign website to get the sections of the ‘94 crime bill renewed. If your blood pressure can take it you […]

Iraqi Democracy, WMD’s and the French

Saturday, October 4th, 2003

The Iraqi Council addresses UN, praises Bush for liberation and says some very interesting things about Iraqi history, Saddam and the future of democracy.
Before getting to Kay’s investigative results below take a look at some foreshadowing.
Now you can read the CIA’s David Kay release INTERIM PROGRESS REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES […]

Shoot Back!

Saturday, October 4th, 2003

Finally the Israeli army eases rules of engagement near West Bank barrier. Though not exactly what the Left had in mind let us again review the visual proof of the war crimes committed against the Palestinian people from April 2002. And while you’re at it how about dropping in on Pop a Pali […]

Welcome Aboard

Thursday, October 2nd, 2003

I’d like to take a quick moment to welcome Shanna at Sweet Grape to our little MT user group. (Don’t forget to check out the available styles and the manual!)

Did they find WMDs?

Wednesday, October 1st, 2003

Why is this AP story running on Hindustan Times and not on the front pages of every major newspaper in the US?
Kuwaiti security authorities have foiled an attempt to smuggle $60 million worth of chemical weapons and biological warheads from Iraq to an unnamed European country..
Some have already commented that maybe the US rags are […]
