Bailout for Automakers?
It’d be stupid to bailout the car companies for inefficiently making crapy cars. What’s good for Chrysler is no longer good for the nation. Doesn’t work that way anymore.
Hurricane Gustav and the Stupid TV Reporters
CNN’s Jeanne Moos is known for her very funny take on the news. She did such a great job covering people covering Hurricane Gustav that I had to share it here. Behold:
It’s kind of hard to believe Geraldo Rivera is still on tv. Don’t you think?

In Florida, Wizardry is Bad
It seems whenever Florida makes the national news it’s never for something positive. It’s usually either our inability to run an election, tourists being robbed/kiddnapped, or teachers having inappropriate relationships with students. Last night one of our local news affiliates ran a story which was talked about on all the local radio stations today and [...]
Cleaning Up the Bookmarks
This evening I got bored and decided to clean out a bunch of bookmarks that have been sitting in Safari for far too long. I figure it’s as good a time as any to share some with you, the faithful and never wavering reader.

In many ways, the blogosphere has become the new delivery vehicle of [...]

The world is facing a huge problem in the coming months. Iran wants to pursue a nuclear program claiming it is to power their country. Considering how oil rich Iran is, the world stage sees through that claim and knows they want to pursue the technology for weaponry purposes. Ok, so what’s new? North Korea [...]
2005: A Retrospective, or something
The year is drawing to a close and while this means many things, it also means lists of all different sorts. From the Top Ten Failed Tech Trends of 2005 to the Top Ten Grossing Films of 2005 to the Top Ten Junk Emails of 2005 to the Top Ten Sexy Geeks of 2005 [...]
Supreme Showdown
Here we go. The fight of the decade is about to get started, and no it has nothing to do with Iraq. Today, Sandra Day O’Connor–the first female appointed to the Supreme Court–announced her retirement after 24 years of service. Shortly there after, the gloves came off.
For a while now both sides [...]
