Was this all not hashed out a couple of months ago with a release of President Bush’s guard service records? Really it’s not a surprise though as Kerry cannot find an issue he hasn’t already flipped on at least 3 times so he’s back to using distraction by demandind Bush, yet again, prove his guard [...]
Sometimes I read a news story and just go DUH! This is one of those stories, howThe State Department is undermining President Bush to the point of actually working toward his defeat in November. Now I have some grudging respect for Colin Powel, but not a lot. Since President Bush came to office Sec. Powel [...]

After a couple of weeks lovefest with the WordPress software I’ve found a shortcoming versus Moveable Type. There isn’t a “Preview” to assist reviewing a post before publishing. A minor shortcoming to be sure as no one could drag me back to MT’s perpetual rebuild hell.

School vouchers and charter schools (hereby simply “vouchers”) are being “sold” and put into place in many cities and municipalities. On the surface they seem an answer to the almost totalitarian stranglehold the NEA and Dept. of Eduction have on public education in America today. But public education is in such shambles the snake-oil politicians [...]
My hats off to Clayton Cramer for his well documented article offering unrefutable evidence that gun control is racism.
Mozilla and it’s sub-projects continue to amaze me. The Jjavascript console, javascript debugger and now Chris Pederick’s webdeveloper extensions. Once installed this set of extensions provides toolbar access to view table and block layouts, document outlines, turn images on/off, form info, validate the doctype and much more. I think what I’ll find the most immediately [...]
