Even if the company wasn’t denying the ban on their employees speaking Spanish at work who cares? The prohibition against discriminating on the basis of “national origin” has only a smidgen to do with what language one speaks in the work place. Especially if the position deals directly with English speaking customers the prohibition on […]

Despite being quite pleased with the use and progress of Firefox tonight it let me down in a very harsh way. During an upgrade from 1.02 to 1.06 Firefox decided to literally nuke my bookmarks file with the default distribution file. Originally I wasn’t too worried since I’m used to Firefox (and Mozilla) often […]

Do we need any better example of Conduct Unbecoming…? Well, maybe what ever that 4-Star did that got him relieved…..
Update: Turns out the 4-Star had a affair with a civilian before his divorce was finalized.

All things considered I’ve been fairly optimistic about the future of America. That changed today when I ran into an unpardonable perversion of American tradition.
A popular intern is leaving the company this week so today’s lunch was pizza and not just the run of the mill pizza but Puccini’s. My office is right beside […]

Sadly my pull with the NRA wasn’t enough to get them to host their 2007 convention in Indianapolis. They have chosen St. Louis to replace Columbus after the knuckle draggers in Columbus decided “assault weapons” didn’t pass the 2nd Amendment test in their fair city.

It will be entertaining watching the ADL react (or not) to Leftist attacks on the NRA’s New Jewish President.

The 3 words UN, watchdog and Iran should never be used in the same sentence. For if they are we might notice that thus far they have little in common. I’d say let the Israeli’s deal with them but they’re a bit busy back-stabbing their own right now.

Why does it seem appropriate the French should develop an air powered car? I’d say its funny looking but hey, the French did build the LeCar so we’re used to it, right?

Why everyone should care about CAIR and how they are operating in America. Throw the anti-American Jihadist front group out on their ears. Or better send them for an extended stay at Club Gitmo.
Remember that the Christian idea of “religious freedom” this nation was founded on was to leave each to his own. The […]

Yes Chris, they really can want us to lose in Iraq because it isn’t their boy in there pulling the strings. Moreover we are allowing them to lose us this war the same way they lost us Vietnam. When they campaigned against Bush saying Iraq was another Vietnam there were saying it wistfully hoping to […]

In the early days I didn’t get too far into SUSE because of the serveral language related issues. First and foremost were the odd errors that kept popping up in german. Not the best way for an English speaker to understand what’s going on. But the what broke it for me was the backspace… it’s […]

Interesting how Debunking the Drug War simply doesn’t jibe with history. The rabble who believe those opposed to the “war on drugs” (which admittedly has picked up some very bad law) is their friend needs to think again.

MoveOn fretting about national security has to be a new high in oxymoronic combinations.

The news of Air America receving $875k from the Boys & Girls club in New York, as a loan, is now well over a week old and the main stream press has not said a word about it. Investigators in New York are investigating which would make it prime time news fodder if […]

They keep pushing it under the rug but more research keeps coming to the same conslusion.

If you’ve ever wondered what the British mean when they use that word you only have to look to Brazil for the perfect example.

In case no one noticed those sissy stock traders are “afraid” and pushing up, again, our fuel costs. So what do we do, drill more holes? No. We pass a pork filled Energy bill that funds development of alternatives that either are not economically viable or won’t be technologically ready for use for 25 […]

There are two issues here in Indiana concerning voter fraud that the Governor has tried to address. One is illegals getting valid drivers licenses via corrupt BMV employees and the other requiring a picture ID to vote. The democrats here are still somewhat up in arms over the picture ID to vote thing as […]

So now the cost of Insurance has shut down a teen entrepreneur. Seems the insurance company didn’t like that the product resembled a gun. Heaven forbid kids should play with toy guns…

Interesting how the Left in America seems to disavow the Left in the UK because it is, after all, Labor that holds the Prime Minister’s chair. That’s right Blair is Labor which is Briton for Liberal. Now imagine the Left in Briton trying to do anything as dastardly as the anti-terror measures President Bush […]

“If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just power from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth and their soundness, the […]

Or a DNC front? It looks like the DNC is already laying the foundations of the 2008 campaign. Not only are Bayh and Clinton making the rounds but their henchmen are setting up bogus “pro-gun” groups to endorse their candidates as “pro-gun”. Problem is someone was paying attention when the websites were setup and […]

The ACLU is suing on behalf of a student who was expelled from school. That seems all well and good until you find out the kid was expelled for writing a “rap’ song that was threatening named persons. This is the type of behavior everyone is watching for to prevent the next Columbine.

“Just remember that Jesus didn’t die on the cross for you to run from what is right. And war heroes didn’t die on the battlefield for you to cower away while this country is destroyed. … If you do not do that which you know is right, you will never know what kind of happiness […]

“Why, it appears that we appointed all of our worst generals to command the armies and we appointed all of our best generals to edit the newspapers. I mean, I found by reading a newspaper that these editor generals saw all of the defects plainly from the start but didn’t tell me until it was […]
