rambling on through the world

Gateway to Buy EMachines for $235 Million interesting consolidation in the PC industry

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...

Disney loses Pixar This is a huge blow to Disney. They just got done shutting down the Orlando animation studios and Nemo is up for 4 Oscars. Wow, how the mighty have fallen. Could it be time for Eisner to go?

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!

iTunes ad to show sued file-swappers further proof that steve job's hasn't lost his sense of humor :)

German Secret Service: U.S. Warned of 9/11 Attack I pray this isn't true.....

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!

US chief Iraq arms expert quits Ah, I love the stench of fresh lying in the morning...... it smells like..... presidential corruption!

Doctors Remove 175-Pound Tumor from Woman Shit, there is no way in hell to say "It's not a tuma"!! That is freakin nuts!

Lopez announces split from Affleck aw shucks - no more bennifer :(

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.

Inert Ramblings: Is Apple calling Microsoft and Windows users poseurs? Apple doing some subliminal thumbing of their nose at windows!

NASA: No data from Spirit rover in more than 24 hours Damn, and just when we could thumb our noses at the British for losing their manly spacecraft "Beagle" (tee hee hee) we manage to click a few pictures, roll off the lander and then CLICK CLICK BOOM - nada, nothing more.

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.......

U.S. News: A defense contractor got paid big bucks to train Iraqi journalists, and botched the job(1/26/04)

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."
