State of the Union

State of the Union

So… I just finished reading the state of the union address. I’m about two paragraphs into the rebuttal by Nancy Pelosi… when I read the following paragraphs: “Never before have we been more powerful militarily. But even the most powerful nation in the history of the world must bring other nations to our side to meet common dangers.

The president’s policies do not reflect that. He has pursued a go-it-alone foreign policy that leaves us isolated abroad and that steals resources we need for education and health care here at home.”

Excuse me? Go it alone foreign policy? Bush has asked for foreign aid from the start. And what are Australia, Britain, Norway, Spain, Italy and others exactly if not foreign?

This rebuttal is weak and makes the democrats look like idiots. No wonder Bush is looking so good in the opinion polls. Oh… and one more thing Nancy: In order to understand light, you have to first know what darkness is.… [Read More]

Too Priceless… Must Share…

Just Another Soldier has done it again! My day has begun with a laugh and a smile and a bit of sadness that war is still a necessity in our world. If we have to do it, I’m glad this soldier is on our side.

I can’t find a way to just link to this post directly, but you must read the post on January 7th. At least the first paragraph.… [Read More]

WOOHOO! It’s about bloody time!

The United States Appeals Court has told the RIAA that their tactics in compelling ISP’s to reveal the identities of their customers, violating the customer’s right to privacy “borders upon the silly”. Judge ruled against them and has revoked their subpoena power.

An excellent victory in the battle for privacy, but it’s not over yet. I imagine we’ll see the RIAA find as many ways as they possibly can to make money off of mp3’s through litigation. And once the litigation possibilities run out, then… perhaps, they will start to rethink their business model. Or… perhaps, the artists will get tired of using the RIAA as their means to speak to the world and just start releasing mp3s directly from their websites for 75 cents a piece! Would that not be cool?… [Read More]

DC Sniper Sentenced to Death

In a shooting spree that terrorized millions, snipers shot people outside home improvement centers and grocery stores in October of last year. One of the snipers has been convicted and the death sentence has been recommended as the punishment for his crime.

Not much to say here, other than I feel that if he is the guilty one, he got what he deserved, but it’s news and I’m snowed in. I am here and I am reading this, so should you be.… [Read More]

Jackson At It Again?

In this editorial, FoxNews asks all the right questions. What is wrong with these parents who allow their children to go spend the night with a forty year old man? What are they thinking? What makes them think that this is okay?

Guilty or not, Jackson does have issues… I mean come on, the man has been in the public eye since he was FIVE! He did not have a normal upbringing by any means. How in the world could anyone possibly think that he is grounded in any semblance of reality as the rest of us know it? He was deprived of the things that the rest of us take for granted. Idyllic scenes of climbing trees and swinging on a tire swing in the front yard don’t exactly populate his memories here. I don’t necessarily feel that this is his fault, or that this means that he is guilty of anything, but he is a little… eccentric.… [Read More]
