Salon.com News | NASA photo analyst: Bush wore a device during debate : "In the enhanced photo of the first debate, Nelson says, look at the horizontal white line in middle of the president's back. You'll see a shadow. 'That's telling me there's definitely a bulge,' he says. 'In fact, it's how we measure the depths of the craters on the moon or on Mars. We look at the angle of the light and the length of shadow they leave. In this case, that's clearly a crater that's under the horizontal line -- it's clearly a rim of a bulge protruding upward, one due to forces pushing it up from beneath.' "
Yeah, that's the smiling, kiss the baby guy that we all know and love :)
TIME.com Print Page: -- The Veep Pick: Pros and Cons : "campaigning contrasts sharply with that of Republican Vice-President Dick Cheney, who on a bus tour through Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia last weekend showed little appetite for chatting up or even greeting voters. "
wouldn't you think that the people who came up with the numbers that showed a reduction in terrorism would ask themselves "does this seem right??" - and then they have the gall to say it's an innocent mistake. It was either intentional and someone should be fired or the people that compiled the report are stupid and should be fired.
US U-turn on upbeat terror report
OK, i know that none of you are going to remember this but i said - as soon as this was announced - that it was going to be a titanic failure of webvan proportions!! too much money chasing too little revenue with too small of a customer base. which part of that equation makes sense?!?!

jesus, the only god damn wireless router that works and they are getting out of the business! i can't believe it! come on bill, throw us a bone, don't do this. i finally really loved a product from redmond and now you are leaving us tit's up with only linksys or some crap from someone even worse as an option!?!?!
Microsoft says bye-bye to Wi-Fi
Here's a question for you. Why in the world does the damn ice cream truck drive so fast by you? I mean, here I am sitting and working this afternoon and I just heard the ice cream truck. Being the fat bastard that I am, I wanted to go get something - but nooooo. By the time I even got my ass out of the chair and away from the keyboard it was game over. No dice. No ice cream for me! Oh well. At the rate I am working out my ass is destined to eventually flow over the sides of the chair and take on the approximate dimensions of a sicilian pizza - with the same texture and coloring. Pleasant, eh?
Enough complaining for this 5 minute period. I need to get back to work and get some of the 50 things off my "to do" list. What a country....
ps - my f'ing DVR in my TW cable box decided to crap out today. I have no idea what happened but I am in the middle of taking and break and want to watch some CSI:Miami and all I get is the black screen staring me back in the face! I ...
ESPN.com - NFL - Pasquarelli: Arm strength : "Of the consensus top 10 quarterbacks here, six stand 6-feet-4 or taller and six weighed in at 220 pounds or more. Roethlisberger was a whopping 249"
Damn - these boys are getting big!
Wonder if we should remind Len that Ben went to Miami University , not University of Miami?
Yahoo! News - Warrant Issued for Top Miami Recruit
1 - i don't think it's fair to single out miami as being blind in this case - all the schools in the race did EXACTLY the same thing
2 - i would actually put a little more blame on FLORIDA then anyone else. They had a high school student staying with them on a recruiting trip with apparently ZERO supervision! This all happened on their watch, not ours. Notice how he didn't get in trouble at any of the other stops on the journey?? I can't believe that they would be glossed over, not with the attention this is getting now. It's an institutional failure on the part of the University of Florida athletic department!
Exerpts from speech by Pres. Bush on Feb 27 2001 re: the budget of the United States of America. Please note, he isn't talking about his personal budget (and we don't know if he can balance a checkbook) or that of a third world banana republic but instead the budget of the US. Note, this is before the tragedy of Sept 11 - but his ONE TRILLION dollar commitment should have covered that, eh?? :)
My budget has funded a responsible increase in our ongoing operations. It has funded our nation's important priorities. It has protected Social Security and Medicare. And our surpluses are big enough that there is still money left over.
Many of you have talked about the need to pay down our national debt. I listened, and I agree. (Applause.) We owe it to our children and grandchildren to act now, and I hope you will join me to pay down $2 trillion in debt during the next 10 years. (Applause.) At the end of those 10 years, we will have paid down all the debt that is available to...
Scalia Was Cheney Hunt Trip Guest; Ethics Concern Grows
Ok, let me get this straight. Scalia (a republican appointed Supreme Court judge) takes a hunting trip with the Vice President of the United States aboard Air Force 2 to a duck hunting camp owned by the head of an oil services firm........ three weeks after the Supreme Court agrees to hear the case of Richard B Cheney in the case of him not having to expose documents related to energy companies lobbying to form our national energy policy.
Gosh, I sure can't see the ethics conflict here!!
Ready, Set, Wreck :
"The director of the state's Department of Financial Services Fraud Division, Bob Neumann, estimates that a whopping 80 percent of accident-related insurance claims in Miami-Dade County are phony, equaling hundreds of millions of dollars in payouts."
Further proof of the deep levels of corruption that are rampant in South Florida. I think that calling it a third world country may be a step up in the world!
Janet, Ms. Jackson if your nasty
Apparently, Janet is the nasty one....
All joking aside - take a look at the close up of her breast (like I gotta tell you to do that!) If you notice, it looks like the seam around her breast has snaps on it, like the material that was attached and Timberlake grabbed was meant to come off easily!
By the way - just how surprised does he look in the next picture!?!? NOT!
Stampede Kills 244 at Hajj Pilgrimage
Safety measures were in place at the site - one where fatal stampedes have been frequent - but "caution isn't stronger than fate," said Saudi Hajj Minister Iyad Madani. "All precautions were taken to prevent such an incident, but this is God's will."
Yeah, this is an advanced religion and civilization. I got a deal for them. Just close the fucking borders and don't come out. If you are sooooo pissed off at us - turn your back on us and the rest of the world. Oh, at the same time, tell your fucking clerics and leaders to not invest in our stock markets, fuck our whores or drink our liquor - ok?
'Biggest' heroin haul in Pakistan
All I want to know is how in the hell can we expect the Afghan government to control the drug trade when it isn't under control with the US Army on the ground and fighting a declared war? There is no hope!
Drugs = corruption
Corruption = political instability
Political Instability = the same fucking problem we had the first time!
Bush Declines to Back Call for Intel Probe :
"but he declined to endorse calls for an independent investigation"
I can't believe the hypocrisy of the President as he runs like a bull to knock down this investigation when the Republicans in Congress were mad dogs when Clinton lied about a blowjob. I am a firm believer that there are different degrees of lies - one when you are lying to cover your ass to your wife and one when your like kills thousands of people.
"There is no deadline for those inspectors, the Iraq Survey Group, to complete their work"
Hmmm - no deadlines for the Survey Group (as he hopes they work FAR past the elections) but he has firm deadlines in mind for the 9/11 Commission so that their report doesn't come out at a time that is "politically sensetive" - I mean come on - what's more important... politics or the truth about the greatest single tragedy in the history of our country. I guess when you are a lying fuckup t...
ESPN.com - NHL - NHL Recap : "Yzerman was working out after the game and was not available for comment."
This statement is one of the reasons that Stevie Y is now #6 on the all time scoring list. You have to remember how BAD the Wings were for the first 1/3 of his career. He has been the team captain for TWO DECADES. Fucking Stud
t r u t h o u t - The Hartford Courant | Demolishing The WMD Theory : " Americans are owed an explanation of why their government's case for war does not hold up. It should come from Mr. Bush. The director of the CIA does not take the nation to war. The president is the one who makes such life and death decisions"
Saddam's Capture Has Very Little Impact on Attitudes to the War in Iraq
Some of these statistics are actually frightening -
Approximately a quarter of the US population believes that "clear evidence of weapons of mass destruction has been found in Iraq"
Just over half believe "clear evidence that Iraq was supporting Al Qaeda has been found in Iraq"
About half think that the government tried to portray the info about WMD ACCURATELY!
Holy shit - with statistics like this it's no wonder that someone like George Bush can be elected in the first place. I mean, what does this say about the intelligence of the average American - I would have to say that we are living in a nation of fucking idiots. Please lord, tell me in some divine way that people this stupid are also too stupid to vote.... please please please!
t r u t h o u t - Robert McNamara: 'It's Just Wrong What We're Doing' :
"Robert McNamara breaks his silence on Iraq: The United States, he says, is making the same mistakes all over again."
I think that McNamara is one of the few people in the WORLD who has both the moral and social authority to speak out this way about the current conflict in Iraq and how it has been handled. Based on what happened in Vietnam and his role there - he is emminently qualified!
Insomnia's Wake-Up Call : "Marketing powerhouse Pfizer has a dominant incumbent in Viagra, but Eli Lilly's (LLY ) Cialis and Bayer's (BAY ) Levitra are trying to horn in to the market."
Do you really think that the author was thinking when she said "horn in" when talking about impotency drugs?? :)
Really though, this is a good article about some upcoming competition for Ambien.
t r u t h o u t - Rick Perlstein | Bush Flees Iraq Mess On The Campaign Express : " Welcome to the new Iraq. Recently Lloyds of London has begun selling insurance to U.K. firms with reconstruction contracts, to pay off if America quits the scene before reconstruction is complete. An American insurer, Marsh & McLennan, has chosen not to offer its usual line of insurance for political risk, expropriation, and terrorism. The smart money in Iraq, it appears, is betting on a bugout.
'This is a plan that is entirely geared to create political peace in the United States from June to November,' Blumenthal observes. 'Whether it has any relations to the facts on the ground is another question.'
War opponents might be tempted to take heart: If President Bush wants to end an ugly and wasteful war in order to get elected, let him."
I wonder when the time will come that a US President gets called before an international war crimes tribunal for action...
Pentagon's Online Voting Program Deemed Too Risky (TechNews.com) : "'The concern for security is a good thing, and we respect what they've done,' Glenn Flood said. 'But we think the thing will be secure, and security will continue to be enhanced. We're not going to stop it.' "
An attitude like that BLOWS my freaking mind! Nothing but an invitation to sheer and utter failure.......
Soros puts money where mouth is to defeat Bush
sweet - soros has more money then most of the bush supporters combined. if he really gets pissed and really cares about this then we may have a very different result then the weenies in the white house want!
"It's got a rise out of me and it will probably find an expression in the amount of money (I donate)," Soros said. "I have made rejection of the Bush doctrine the central project of my life for the next year."
Miami proposes linking ballpark to Orange Bowl
Holy shit, this is turning into a goat fuck of titanic proportions that could ONLY happen in a place with as screwed up of a local government as Miami. I can't believe that adults would sit around and have this conversation. Can you even begin to fathom the kind of problems that would be brought on by bringing baseball sized crowds into the Orange Bowl neighborhood 81 (plus any potential playoff appearances) times a year!?!? Only a crackhead would come up with an idea this stupid. And then to do a half ass retrofit of the OB and reduce it's capacity by 25%??? And the topper? They are asking to get sign off on a South Florida baseball stadium without a retractable roof - I mean, has ANYONE BEEN LISTENING FOR THE LAST DECADE??
Miami doesn't deserve to have the Marlins and Fort Lauderdale won't get f*&%ed up the ass to take the Marlins - what a sad state of affairs for a World Series championship team, eh?
China mobiles outstrip landlines
the telecom world is a very, very different place then it was a mere ten years ago. when the kind of services provided by voip are tossed into the mix you will start the hear the creaking and groaning of the top heavy traditional telecom powers like the baby bells as their profits continue to erode.
Selection committee could be in BCS future
How exactly would a selection committe have fixed this years mess? There were three teams with the same record. Each one has a legitimate shot at the game. And let's look at the drive for a playoff. With the truly limited number of teams that can play at the top levels - in all honesty no more then 5 in a regular season - then is it a playoff that we really need? And if we are doing a playoff of - say - 4 teams, what about that 5th team? They have just as much of a right to be in the playoff as the other teams. This is where most pundits screw up by saying that in the case of a 4 team playoff that the 5th ranked team wouldn't have a reason to say that they deserve the national championship. That is arguing apples and oranges, it has nothing to do with the teams right to be champion but instead their right to PLAY for it. Isn't that what everyone is bitching about? I may be a bit skewed in my perception - but couldn't it be ar...
