I watched Obama’s speech last night and I thought it was one of the better political speeches I have ever heard. I’m sure it caught the other camp off guard. It offered some specifics. It offered generalities. It was well delivered, and it made some very strong points against the other camp without being an […]
Thanks to Snaglepuss for today’s subject line which has no bearing on anything at all! Two quick book reviews. First, Cruel Zinc Melodies by Glen Cook, another novel in the Garrett PI series. As all novels in this series, it was enjoyable. There has been less and less humour in each successive novel. That’s not […]
In a statement regarding new sanctions against Zimbabwe today, President Bush declares that “No regime should ignore the will of its own people and calls from the international community without consequences.” That quote is from whitehouse.gov so there’s no media slant at all. Apparently, he doesn’t realize his own words apply to him as well. […]
In defence of Barack Obama. There’s been a lot of crap said about Mr. Obama. Like all politicians some of it true, some of it untrue. But some if it’s just horrible. So, here’s an interesting video that will appeal to all parties. It visually debunks all those stupid-ass Obama myths: he’s a Muslim, won’t […]
My, oh my, oh my. Yes, now this YouTube video is another great one. A few days ago, I published Olbermann’s amazing rant on Bush. (Also included below in this post). Well, if you don’t believe McCain is just more Bush in a different wrapper, allow me to present the ultimate expert on the subject: […]
First, a warm welcome to my new sponsor www.guidetoonlineschools.com which is sponsoring some technology related posts in my blog. They picked this post first and may add other posts if they feel they’re doing well. As always, fees paid are not disclosed. I’m not getting rich, but that isn’t what this blog is about. I’ve […]
I just need to point something out to my small core of faithful readers. Once again, I read where Bush is saying he looks to God for answers. It bothers me on many levels because the Constitution, last I checked, clearly mandates the separation of Church and State. This means, among many things, you can’t […]
The US is nearing its credit limit according to Henry Paulson, the treasury secretary. Yes, not only have the past seven years turned us from a budget surplus to being in the hole, that hole is now $8.9 trillion dollars. Trillion. With a “T” to be exact. Or in numbers that’s $8,965,000,000,000 — which is […]
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 […]
Today we have another random group of eclectic posts. Way back in December 2006, I wrote about the Baiji Dolphin become extinct. Truly a sad thing, indeed. Well, it’s about to happen again to another species. Now, Japan’s Iriomote Cat is Headed for Annihilation according to the latest news. I am far more saddened about […]
