- My irony meter is melting. Kos is screaming about hate being directed at him. Amazing proof of what I’ve said in these spaces for years now; It’s not that you hate someone, but whom you hate that they object to. Think about it; What he’s complaining about is that someone’s using Kos-like tactics on Kos himself.
For added heat on the Irony meter, consider the picture of that drooling moron, Tom Harkin, suggesting McCain is ‘too military’. Apparently, he wants us to think he slept through John Kerry‘s “Reporting for Duty” shtick, and that he didn’t notice the paperwork where Kerry had his middle name changed to “Served in Vietnam”.- Heh. Ya know, I’ve really got to get Photoshop cranked up.
- Got CLOBBERED with traffic from StumbleUpon.com on Friday. Someone apparently found my take on Obama interesting, and clicked on it, resulting in several hundred hits here. Nice when it happens, but I’ll tell you that it’s been so long since I even tried that site, I’d forgotten I had a membership there.
- In watching Obama and Clinton these days, one gets the decided impression that liberal politics in general means spending millions of dollars of your own money, along with millions of dollars of other people’s money as well, trying to create the impression that the rich are evil, and that you’re going to tax the snot out of those evil rich people, and money is not what you’re about. That obvious conflict being ignored, you then need to add to it by projecting the image from the back of your limo or in your chartered jet, that you’re just another copy of Joe Average, and that you share the pain of the working man, even though you’ve never held a real job in your life… For the most part, they get away with it because for the most part their supporters have not clue one about money, or irony, or history… or much of anything else, for that matter. It’s a little discouraging to those of us out here in the real world.
- Many congrats to radio buddy Scott Fybush, over at NERW, who reports another baby in the house. Mother and baby doing fine, father a ittle freaked. (Sitrep normal) He’s posted a cute photo.
- Obviously, I think there’s too much being made of Kevin James, and his video foulup of the other night. I would expect the ironically named “Think Progress” to be trying to make what it can out of it. (Ironic because “Think Progress” is neither_) Trust me; I’ve been there… and even after 20 years behind a mike on the radio and in public speaking, the Cameras and the lights are enough to screw with anyone’s mind. I have seen a lot of the most talented and smart people I’ve ever known, freeze up under those conditions. I’ll also point out that some of the biggest idiots I’ve ever met are some of the smoothest behind the mike I’ve ever seen. Let’s get some of the “think Progress” numbnuts on the tube, and watch ’em freeze up like pudding pops. Maybe then after they make their excuses that they froze up, we can get to something real.
- A White valedictorian at Morehouse? There’s a lot to be said for this as an indicator of the lack of racial progress. We’ve had black valedictorians at ostensibly WHITE schools for literally hundreds of years.
- Look, Ron, the problem you write of here was, and remains, far deeper than the AP. That’s why the AP disappearing didn’t help. it took the demise of the AP for us to scratch the surface of the thing. The problem is socialism, disguised as liberalism.
- Speaking of socialism, disguised as liberalism… Has anyone noticed what the Canadians are doing with the internet? They’ve always been the canary in the coal mine. I hate to tell you this, but that canary isn’t looking too healthy just now.
- Why is Goldman trying to drive up the price of oil with it’s over-hyped projections? Could it have something to do with their involvement with Soros? Bet on it.
After being caught, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick suddenly values his own employees privacy. Essentially, he’s trying to stop evidence against him from being admitted. Funny, how that works. Why is this guy still in office? Why is he not in jail? One question, however seems to have been answered; How Detroit has devolved into the open-trench sewer that it has.- New server here over the weekend. Put up web server, internal here at Casa de Bit. Hope it’ll help with design considerations for the blog. Not much of a server, really. 1GHz,1GB, a couple 80 GB drives. Still, it gives me the development space I’ve been lacking so it’s a positive move.
- Here’s a clue you morons… when you steal cables, make sure they’re not ‘live’. What would they have gotten for the wire at a scrap dealer? $10 bucks? I’m willing to bet the fillings they melted were worth a bit more. Guess who they voted for in 06? (Shake of the head)
- Rain over the weekend so my work on the truck was a little limited. Did manage to get it clean, but that got fouled by my driving into work this morning. Figures.
- OK, despite the Microsoft buyout not going through, Yahoo is now making noises about an alliance with Google? It gets better; too. Apparently Microsoft is still milling over a buyout.
- Ya know this case of the Olympian sprinter double leg amputee is amazingly similar to the Casey Martin case. One wonders just how the ADA comes into play with the IOC. Make for an interesting court case, that would.
- Have I mentioned how much I miss SacredCowBurgers.com? Strange Cosmos has apparently picked up all the stuff from that site. A timely example:
