And they still will not impeach him?

Friday, May 30th, 2008

From Democracy Now:
McClellan went on to say President Bush had personally told him he authorized the leak of former CIA operative Valerie Plame’s identity. McClellan says he asked President Bush aboard Air Force One if he was the one who approved outing Plame to the media. McClellan says Bush replied, “Yes, I was.”
McClellan would have […]

Microsoft keeps spending millions of dollars just to fight Linux

Friday, May 16th, 2008

For those of you who don’t believe that Linux is making an impact on the PC market, you obviously haven’t been watching the actions of Microsoft. Every time a country announces they will switch their government computers to Linux, Microsoft is there literally begging them reconsider (by begging, I mean showering them with incentives). […]

Weather.com Broken?

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

The other day I noticed that my weather widgets on my Nokia n800 and my KDE desktop at my library no longer work. As far as I know, they all connected to weather.com. So, did they do something to their site to call all these weather widgets to break? I’m sure the […]

The Devil and Hillary Clinton

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

I almost missed this one from the April 16th democratic debate:

OLBERMANN: Can you clarify…which hypothetical Middle East conflicts would incur massive retaliation by this country and what constitutes massive retaliation?
CLINTON: What we were talking about was the potential for a nuclear attack by Iran. If Iran does achieve what appears to be […]

Did I miss something?

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

I’m sorry, but what did Rev. Jeremiah Wright say that was so wrong? The only reason Americans are upset is because he spoke the truth. He aired America’s dirty laundry, and the US media saw an opening to attack Sen. Obama.
“We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans and […]

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a hater

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

As Islam continues to flourish despite the misguided efforts of people like Ayaan Hirsi Ali, she continues to throw salt in our game (hating to see us succeed and do good in the world). She will fail. From the IIC:
“Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Dutch critic of Islam, will publish a fictional children’s book […]
