is Sandy Berger?
Ever so interesting how fast the media swept his high-crimes under the rug. We can’t have one of John-John’s cabinet-in-waiting be a known felon now can we?

All these years I’ve believed that Microsoft was getting into trouble around the world (outside the US) because of their 800 pound gorilla tactics. Well the egg is on me because it turns out the troubles were all due to geographical ignorance of Microsoft’s employee’s.
Don’t I feel stupid….

Don really is an idiot. Of course that’d be too simple and Don really isn’t simple. Transparent maybe, but not simple.
You see, Don sells his wares at markups that would completely halt sales in any other shop in Indiana. He gets these premiums because his target market is simple.
Don is also for […]

The BBC has a bit more on Kerry’s ‘ex-flame’ . This is the site that was “unavailable” for some reason earlier in the day but now appears to be back online.

Finally someone is setting the record straight on stem cell research. Kerry & Crew like to get on their soapboxes to complain about the “Bush Ban” on it. It doesn’t exist, that ban… Stem cell research can continue but the tax payers are not paying for it If stem cell research is so promising these […]

First I find the phrase “Iraqi Militia” disingeneous when it is known Iran is sponsoring Sadr’s band of Shite thugs. But be that as it may Sadr rejected the Iraqi Government offer and is now reaping the benefits that come with that decision.
In WW2 our troops rolled into town and if they were not […]

I find it hilarious that John Kerry would accuse Bush of letting groups do his ‘Dirty Work’ when promoting John Kerry is primarly focus of the Soros’ backed 527 group MoveOn.
This ranks right up there with Kerry making a fuss that the Swifties are financially sponsored by one Texas Republican…
Is Kerry really asking […]

A little humor floating around the Internet….
Dear Abby,
I am a crack dealer in Beaumont, Texas who has recently been diagnosed as a carrier of HIV virus. My parents live in Fort Worth and one of my sisters, who lives in Pflugerville, is married to a transvestite.
My father and mother have recently been arrested for growing […]

As an IT guy I have to wonder if $200 million, 350 IT people and 4 years cannot make a (Oracle) ERP system work how the heck are the “little guys” ever supposed to make it happen?
In how many industries allow you to deliver a complete failure yet the customer still must foot the bill?

So if SCO wants to continue their uphill copyright infringment battle against Linux they’ll now have to face IBM using the GPL as a blunt instrument.
IBM is arguing that, since SCO renounced the GPL, all code that was given to the Linux Kernel under the GPL are now being illegally used by SCO. […]

As it turns out my friend John in Arizona did the Coconino County Republican Party website. Way to go John!

I’ve cobbled together a short PHP script to rotate the 7 banner graphics available from the Bush-Cheney 2004 website and bundled them in a zip archive. Brief instructions are included.
After finding no banner graphics available from Mitch Daniels campaign I’ve sent them an email. If anything comes of it I’ll do the same with Mitch’s […]

Governor Murkowski,
After reading the news of your push to drill on state lands I had to drop you a quick note. A note to let you know that there are people out here who believe you are doing the right thing not only for Alaska but for the Nation.
I applaud your efforts […]

A judge has refused to remove a constitutional amendment measure that would require parental notification for minors seeking abortions. The ACLU and Planned Parenthood somehow feel this would violate a minor’s rights which, according to them, supercede the rights of the parent.
But there is a reason besides this minor’s rights stretch of logic, […]

Yesterday I linked to a pro Kerry site run by an old girlfriend of Kerry’s, The Hedgefund Mistress. But if you visit the site today you get:
Site Temporarily Disabled
This site has been temporarily disabled. If you are the owner of the site, please contact customer care.
With the way they’re intimidating Ralph Nader it really […]

I often get subtle hints from my boss that he would be happier were we developing much of our software in something much more sexy than PHP. It depends on which CEO’s and CIO’’s he’s been talking to whether he leans more towards Java or MS’s .Net in a particular week. The boss will […]

To further insult the populance, or to show their own ignorance, those who disagree with President Bush often refer to him as a Nazi. Obviously these poor, uneducated politicos forget that the Nazi’s were Germany’s National Socialist party and espounced much the same social agenda of today’s Left. As a matter of fact […]

FEMA Impersonator are targeting storm victims in Florida. If they really want to stop the looting and con games I would suggest they send the peeping tom patrol down there and let everyone know they’re coming. Better yet, they could organize Charley’s victims into roving patrols, tree branches and all. You can […]

I frankly find President Bush’s tendency to speak Texan rather than stilted New England English endearing (Granted one would never say Bill Clinton spoke stiltedly, just slickly). But the media from coast to coast, if not around the world, goes out of it’s way to report each mis-pronounced or made up word President Bush […]

While perusing a “progressive” online rag I came across what the site calls a “fun fact”:
FUN FACT: George Bush is responsible for one-third as many American deaths in Iraq as bin Laden caused in the attack on the World Trade Center
I didn’t realize that the death of innocent civilians going about their daily business was […]

After all the protestations by the likes of Bono that the United States isn’t spending enough on preventing AIDs comes the news that the U.S. may not be able to contribute the full amount because by U.S. law the U.S. can only give 1/3rd of the total Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria […]

It looks like another election scandal is underway in Venezuelan. Typical when Socialists, Marxists and Communists risk loosing a election. Chavez was quite confident of his victory, maybe he knew something the opposition only feared? When 500 voting machines yeild the EXACT same results to say something is fishy in Caracas is […]

Why do I find Kerry’s opposition to pulling troops out of Europe so humorous? Supperficially maybe it’s because the Germans have protested our presence for a few Decades.
This man claims he’ll do a better job fighting the “war on terror” but won’t concede that our deployments are still on a cold […]

I just love hearing John Kerry tell the VFW he’s been supporting veterans for 35 years when only 33 years ago he was testifying they were war ciminals in front of the US Senate.

Interesting article over on the dark origins of several beloved Olympic icons
The torch relay is so ingrained in the modern choreography that most people today assume it was a revival of a pagan tradition - unaware that it was actually concocted for Hitler’s Games in Berlin,”
