The horror, the horror! (And they wonder why everybody's switching to the Mac.)
Four things that made my day
1. Dennis says that, in consultation with his doctor, he's going to give soccer goalkeeping another go. He had to quit three years ago because of blood clots in his arm/shoulder. Current thinking is that if he avoids throwing the ball, he'll be OK. I'm already trying to figure out how I can get on his team. 2. While shopping at Fred Meyer I bumped into...
War crimes
It is increasingly obvious that high ranking members of the Bush Administration should face prosecution for war crimes. Don't think so? Read this. There is no provision in the US Constitution, the Geneva Conventions, or frankly, Judeo-Christian morality for any of this.
The insanity defense
Meaning, of course, that Hillary Clinton's been giving campaign speeches again. The details in In Oregon, Clinton Makes False Claim About Her Iraq Record Vs. Obama's. Written by that member of the vast right-wing conspiracy Jake Tapper, also known as the ABC News Senior National Correspondent.
In case I’ve not been clear
I would have impeached this president and vice president long ago. I also think they should stand trial for war crimes. Just so I'm on the record for posterity.
Hillary Clinton: A useful campaign timeline
Yes, it's exactly what you think it is.
Excuses, excuses….
Now we get another tack in the ongoing attempt of the Clinton campaign to explain Hillary's blatant lying: Occasionally, I am a human being like everybody else... Occasionally? So normally you're a deity, and every so often you condescend come down from Mt. Olympus, become human, and join us in our normal state of affairs, the ordinary course of which...
Hillary Clinton in Bosnia
Today's word from the Clinton campaign: She misspoke. Is that what this looks like to you? That "35 years of experience" is looking awfully questionable.
Barak Obama in Salem, Oregon
Answering the question, "Why Obama and not Clinton?"
The magic of the Internet Tubes
Hillary Clinton claims one thing, historical video show another: I'd be appalled if this type of thing weren't so common from the Clinton campaign. I'm sorry to say it's par for the course, and exactly why you can't put stock in anything the Clintons say. To be clear, Hillary and Bill (or if you prefer Billary or, my favorite, Hillbilly) are orders of...

Chiropractic Treatment: One Man’s Tail
Taking a break from the otherwise hum-drum world of painfree living, I injure my lower back and enter the Land of Oz where I meet the Wizard, his lovely assistant Dr. Kim and his still-searching-for-a-brain heavy, Juan. In their delightful wonderland of chiropractic treatment, I discover the joys and benefits of this pseudo-medical care. No longer branded "complete nincompoops" by the American Medical Association, these chiropractic practioners revel in their "partial...
Iomega Jaz
You don't want to know how long it took for me to get a functioning Jaz drive from Iomega, but I tell you anyway. Mein kampf in less than a page. Heart of darkness ("The horror! The horror!") to Shangri-La. Eighth wonder of the world or desktop Three Mile Island? Presenting yet another sure-fire insomnia cure of a review. In a move that, in terms of sheer idiocy, must have rivalled Custer's strategy (i.e. "Let's git'em!") at the Little Bighorn, I bought one of the first Jaz...
Quicken 7 Deluxe: Cashflow is King
Another typical, haphazard review of questionable quality. Written after one hour's use of the product. Random mutterings by a confused man. Basing a buying decision on this is like trusting O.J. Simpson at cutlery convention: not for the faint of heart. Virtually No New Ideas... What's different this time around for users of Intuit's popular Quicken personal finance software? Not much, and God knows you can only carry this charade so far. Once you have the basic Quicken...
Medical Mary Jane
Everybody must get stoned: Glaucoma never looked so good. Wedge issue in the drug war, or feel-good hit of the summer? Feds argue one side, I make the case that feds are idiots. Not sure I succeed, but close enough for government work. Incisive analysis with a third less calories than our regular beer. A Toke A Day Keeps the Doctor Away... Grass, pot, dope, mary jane...call it what you will, it's still rock 'n' roll to me. The very entertaining Reefer Madness not...
