Verizon’s “Migo”

Friday, December 30th, 2005

Finally a proper cellular phone for kids. Typically I detest seeing kids with phones no matter the good intentions. The exceptions thus far have been systems like TracPhone where all minutes are prepaid. That is if the parents make the child buy the minutes – unfortunately that is seldom the case. But the Migo allows [...]

5 Juveniles May Be Charged in Mob Beating

Friday, December 30th, 2005

In Wisconsin citizens are not allowed to defend themselves with firearms and while the idiot in the Governors mansion is contemplating once again vetoing concealed carry legislation citizens are being regularly beaten by roving gangs of teenagers in Milwaukee. Worse yet what is the Milwaukee City Council’s plan to fix the issue? Pass an “anti-gang” [...]

If anyone wonders why the opinion of Europe matters little to me here is but one illustration.

Is Society Pro-Crime?

Friday, December 30th, 2005

I have to wonder because everything we read and are told today is to just let criminal go. Give them what they want and they’ll leave and that lives are worth more than the money.

Thursday, December 29th, 2005

Despite the nay sayers the American dream is very much alive and well for those willing to actually work for it. Those who have not achieved the American Dream, or their own idea of it, are either lazy or don’t want it to exist. Though arguably those who don’t want it to exist and have [...]

It is good to see that I was wrong to believe the Gaza strip would be used as a terror launching pad against Israel when the boneheads gave it away. Its good to be wrong every now and then….

Running out of coffee?

Wednesday, December 28th, 2005

It must have been a really slow news day in Canada for them to report on the pending coffee shortage. Strangely the article goes into the 2 year cycle of growing coffee so this whole article is nothing new. They probably pulled it out of the 2003 archives to fill space. Besides its not like [...]

2/3 of Palestinians want al-Qaida to hit West

Wednesday, December 28th, 2005

And these are the people George Bush wants to give a “palastinian state”? The obvious question being “ever hear of Jordan?”

EU states fail to hit Koyoto targets

Wednesday, December 28th, 2005

Fascinating – it wasn’t a secret that the same EU members who bash the US for not joining Koyoto are themselves fail ingto hit emissions targets of their own participation. More amazing is seeing it in an otherwise lefty leaning paper like The Scotsman. The thing is that while the EU member states have signed [...]
