April Fool's Day 2010

Today's been a busy day on the Internet with April Fool's jokes though this year's crop is less than stellar on average. One of the more amusing ran in London's Telegraph newspaper revealing that Virgin Media uses ferrets as the key to bridge the digital divide. Many major news outlets ran articles on everyone else's [...]

How To Fix Congress

My dear friend Fran sent this along to me. I can't think of a reason to disagree. Politically she's pretty much damn near opposite of me on most things but sometimes we agree spot-on.
Proposed Congressional Reform Act of 2010
1. Term Limits: 12 years only, one of the possible options below.
A. Two Six year Senate terms
B. [...]

A busy blog post today: Politics, Promotions, Gay Marriage

COMPANY VIDEO
First, I've posted a short video of Interstate. It's not a commercial but a promotional video. The real difference is a commercial is trying to sell you something. We're just telling you a bit about us. This was shot by a private contractor working for BellSouth/AT&T; to attach to our Internet ads for next [...]

WikiLeaks Shuttered but NOT gone

A federal judge has shut down the entire site "WikiLeaks" over one single post of over 10,000 and their ISP has complied. This is wrong on several levels. In an effort to help them out, I have two alternate links via IP address and a mirror site that still allow access to the site.

Fuck Bush Says a Student Newspaper

The headline and editorial ran thusly: "Taser this FUCK BUSH" I will withhold comment on the lack of proper punctuation in said headline.
That was the entirety of a four-word column in the student-run Rocky Mountain Collegian. I think that's great. But in response to the headline, it's way too juvenile for a professional newspaper [...]

Bush is a Liar and hypocrite. Proof.

When you say one thing and then say another statement which contradicts your first one, that makes you a liar. Bush is a liar. He's a rat bastard too, but that's my personal opinion.
ACTION ONE:
If there's a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. If the person has violated law, [...]

Let's Buy Dick Cheney a Cheeseburger

Some clever chap has a brilliant idea which I am very keen on. This person states "I hereby declare April 13, 2007, is National Buy Dick Cheney a Cheeseburger Day. Millions of Americans will buy cheeseburgers, consume them, and then mail their receipts to Vice President Dick Cheney, to encourage him to chow down or [...]

And what about the election

And, if it makes any difference, I was for the republican governorship candidate (Crist) this election. I don't often support Republicans but sometimes you have to go for the right candidate and not the right party. Don't ever let it be said, I'm so stubborn I won't vote for the other team.
And how is it [...]
