Crooked Politician finally indicted

Why did this criminal get re-elected? Probably for the same reasons that the city of New Orleans is still dysfunctional and broken after nearly two years of recovery operations. Don’t blame FEMA or George W. Bush… blame a culture of laziness and dependency. This culture doesn’t see an idiot like William Jefferson as a criminal, …

Pardon the mess – upgrades can be messy

WordPress has added a pile of new features, and as I’ve just discovered, no longer works with a number of plugins I had been using. Part of this was expected – the better plugins are now obsolete, as WordPress has the same functionality built in now. Some will need upgrading, and I’ll get to that …

Mastercard’s Fraud Detection Service

I had an “anonymous” call registered on my phone today… the sort I normally ignore. I listened to the message before deleting it – it claimed to be from my credit-card issuing bank – and promptly forgot about it. When I got home, I had an email from the same bank. That one I read… …

Dear Gov. Dean:

I pull your emails from the trash bin and wipe them off long enough to read each one. Generally they’re simply boring, but once in awhile you say something that makes me go “hmmm”. Here’s one from today’s missive: Americans want action, and that’s what Democrats are delivering. House Democrats Adam Schiff and Artur Davis …

Demoralizing the self-righteous…

…one tree at a time: The reason we sell Carbon Debits is simple – we want to take away the pathetic excuse of Carbon Credits from those liberals who hide their shame filled lives behind money-bought lunacy. Carbon Credits are simply a way for the rich (Al Gore) to continue to hypocritically live lives that …

One Hundred and Eighty Degrees of Stupidity

In the 70’s, it was proposed that to fight off global COOLING, we should COVER THE POLES WITH SOOT to absorb heat from the sun. On TV right now, in a proposal to fight global WARMING, they are suggesting we should CUT DOWN THE TREES in northern climes to reflect more of the sun’s heat. …

Interesting Spam-filter behavior

I swear I had nothing to do with it… I use Thunderbird for all of my email services, and it does a fantastic job of pre-filtering spam from my in-box. I also subscribe to a number of newsletters, including both the Democratic and Republican parties’ official newsletters. Those I get from the Republicans get shuffled …

Perverting the children?

Why haven’t these parents been exposed as unfit? Since when does a 15-month old have a clue about clothes, style, or their sexual identity? They named their BOY “Jazz”… wtf? Six years of being encouraged to believe he’s a girl… all six years of his life, no less… is damned well enough to brainwash anyone. …
