2007 - State of the Union speech

One of the funniest observations regarding the State of the Union speech last night.Watching the SOTU Speech on ABC - BC Beat - Blog on Broadcasting & Cable - 1380000138 :What was worth commenting on, however, was the contrast in blinks per minute between Pelosi and Cheney. While Pelosi clocked a good 25-30 blinks per minute, Cheney barely mustered 3 or 4.

Fair Tax?

Americans for Fair TaxationI would love to hear some of your opinions regarding this. On it's surface, it seems to make alot of sense..but I'm just leary for some reason…

Where are we going?

While their leader takes another break from his so-called reality, the
Roveites all revel in their attempts to back up their leader with lies
and misdirection.? One of Karl Rove’s most voracious mantra’s is
to turn one’s energy against them.? Throw so much shit at the
wall, that some is bound to stick.? This is a man who is […]

WMD Found finally found in Iraq!

Iraqi Chemical Stash Uncovered
This site was a suspected site before the invasion, and was throughly
checked out after the U.S. arrived.? Nothing was found, until now..
This begs the question…why weren’t we watching this site more
carefully?? And, a bigger question of without our invasion, would
this site still be inactive?? Or, did our invasion actually
trigger the production of […]

Bush lowers Iraqi expectations…again

Remember before the invasion, how we were told by President Bush, VP
Cheney and others, that the Iraqi oil revenue would help finance this
war.? That with foreign investment and profits from free-flowing oil, this war
would end up not costing the United States.
Over $400 BILLION dollars later, this rather rosy picture of the situation is the farthest […]

London, Terrorists and Security Camera’s

First, with millions of security camera’s installed around the world, London has the most camera’s installed all over the city
in the world.? The United States is following Britain’s lead by
installing thousands and thousands of camera’s here.? The
government tells us it is for our “security”, yet with all of those
camera’s installed all over London.? It […]

Interesting Concept: Podcasting and Government (Local and Federal)

Federal government and all committees and sub-committees released their recordings via Podcast to the general public…. Most American’s, including myself, don’t pay enough attention to local happenings.Of course, they would probably screw it up and no one would listen anyway..

Monday morning quickies…

Some of the Podcasts on the list are not kept very current, but you can usually tell by looking at their website.ITEC Conference and Expositionis on June 8 - 9, 2005 at the Indianapolis Convention Center and RCADome…. Interesting read, and I certainly catch myself doing some of the bad habits listed here..As many of you may have noticed, the blog took a bit of apolitical turn last week.

Apocalypse Soon?!?

First…the dark side..While I don’t quite remember the Duck and Cover films from the height of the Cold War, I do remember having the bejesus scared out of me by the thought of thousands of nuclear warheads reigning down upon our heads…. That future does not seem so certain today with Apple, Google, Time Warner, Sony and many others encroaching on Microsoft’s traditional turf, that of the “Desktop Dictator”.If more companies would simply behave by Google’s mantra of “Do No Evil”, perhaps we wouldn’t have the amount of ethical scandals and blowups we see today.

Senator Rick Santorum wants to ban weather (data).

How quickly they forget their priorities.Basically, Rick “The Tool” Santorum has proposed legislation that would makeit “illegal” for NOAA to release their weather forecast data freely over theinternet. NOAA is fully funded by the U.S. Government and basically we haveall paid for the gathering of this data, but the lobbyists that representthe weather forecast industry have convinced the tool to give only them theability to dissemble this information.Seriously, we the people already pay for the collection of this data.
