Love that Treo

Monday, July 24th, 2006

Once again the performance of my Treo today makes me wonder how on Earth….. Ah well, anyway…. I was talking to my Bro going down the road. A low power alert popped up but didn’t vibe the phone so I didn’t see it. Heck, the thing vibes if you check email, why not for a [...]

Sniper Shootings Kill 1 on Indiana Highway

Monday, July 24th, 2006

Great, a whacko sniping on the Interstate is all we need. There are a couple of interesting aspects, here. First the round that hit and killed a man in a truck also left a hole in the back window of the cab which implies a low angle trajectory horizontally and vertically. The news is highlighting [...]

Accommodation

Monday, July 24th, 2006

“Those who would trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state have told us that they have a utopian solution of peace without victory. They call their policy ‘accommodation.’ And they say if we only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he will forget his evil ways and learn to love [...]

The pressure to hoax Scientific Fraud For Dollars

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

Nice piece on BBC News, the pressure to hoax, is almost apologetic. Yet it also points out one of the driving forces behind science today, other than a political agenda. Though depending on where your funding is coming from the dollars and the agenda may be walking hand in hand.

Time for More Tax Cuts!

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

We cut taxes and Government revenue has gone up in near record leaps yet even with this Congress can’t seem to get the tax cuts made permenent. Well, then, ok. how about we forget about then and pass new and larger cuts? Works for me, I’d certainly prefer not to send almost 40% of my [...]

Israel vs Lebanon->Syria->Iran

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

There is so much to be said about the ongoing activities in the middle east, but, while I was searching our references I came across Allahpundit’s post which sums it up so much more thoroughly than I have the time to do.

Hil, Rupert sly as Fox at fund-raiser

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006
