Palin’s Bush

I have decided tonight that the Left should stop hating Bush and claim him as the best president this country has ever had.
Why? Because he got Obama elected!!
The Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh types are now having this Republican civil war with the moderate and intellectual Powell, George Brooks, Ken Duberstein types, who [...]

Bush Tours America To Survey Damage Caused By His Disastrous Presidency

Rebutting Drudge’s “redistributive” YouTube

Drudge put out a youtube video of snippets from an Obama conversation with a local Chicago radio station, which seems to imply that he is promoting “redistributive change” and adds to the Right’s argument that he is a socialist. However, there is also that problem of context that both sides love to leave out. For [...]

Powell Endorses Obama on Meet The Press

This morning on Meet The Press Gen. Colin Powell, a Republican who worked in the Reagan and both Bush White Houses, endorsed Barack Obama for President.  Powell is highly respected on both sides of the aisle and his endorsement could help bring some moderate republicans into Barack Obama’s column.  Powell has plenty of experience and [...]

Now Is Not The Time For The Fear Mongering Of McCarthyism

I just watched this clip:

That was Republican Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann of Minnesota. She did a good deal of attacking Obama’s character, but that was to be expected and is not what has gotten me so irate. What angered me was her insinuation that Liberal equals anti-American. She even asked Chris Mathews to start investigating our [...]

John McCain’s Race Baiting Road To The White House

It seems clear that McCain and Palin’s campaign right now is ignoring the economy and trying to stir their base with outright race baiting by trying to make Barack Obama seem like he is, for all intents and purposes, a terrorist.  And the people hearing this call from the Republican Presidential ticket are responding.  [...]

12 Reasons Why Obama Is The Nominee

1. President George Bush - This terrible neocon presidency is what created an opportunity for democrats to accept such an unconventional, and let’s be serious, quite liberal-like democrat. (Probably the same for McCain, since his party always saw him as a “liberal”).
2. Iraq - Obama was never for it, while Clinton voted for it and [...]

It’s The Distractions Stupid!

John McCain’s newest stunt is indicative of his campaigns promise that this election is “not about the issues.”  Tom Brokaw put it best when he said that John McCain is running a “guerilla warfare” type campaign.  He makes a big move to get the public talking about something other than the issues and then when [...]

Goodbye Lipstick, Hello Bailout!

The general election started out as the democratic primaries ended: Experience vs. Change. Then, all of a sudden, John McCain decided that if he was going to win this election he would need to be “Reform” and he would have to completely sell out his soul and the little honor that he had left. He [...]

McCain’s Knee-Jerk Reaction To A Successful Democratic Convention

One day after what even Pat Buchanan called the greatest acceptance speech ever, John McCain has tapped Gov. Sarah Palin for his running mate.
-First, it undermines his experience argument against Barack. Obama is known and the fact he has a thin resume is known. He has had time to rebut this argument with his argument [...]

Life

Google the new God?

Since humans have made the transformation from a nomadic tribal system to an organized political entity, they have based religion either in the highest esteem in their society or near the top of importance for their people.
Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome all were dominate peoples of their times in which the people both ruling and [...]

Why I Hate The World

They’ve arrived from every corner of the planet to this nation to seek the fulfillment of a promise of America. They were promised a better life in their home countries, where they were told that privatizing, war and electricity would make things run more efficiently. Instead, the quality remained almost the same and the price [...]

God & Reality

That the universe was formed by a fortuitous concourse of the atoms, I will no more believe than the accidental jumbling of the alphabet should fall into a most ingenious treatise on Philosophy.
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all art and science.
As long as there will [...]

Damn the Cell Phone

So I was planning on leaving this concrete jungle awhile ago but something stopped me.
After a night out knock back a few cold ones as Strong Bad would say I had to go to my office to gather my things in order to take the iron beast known as  the LIRR back to the [...]

Security Data Breach; Is Your Company Next?

Heard about a competitor’s security being breached? Then you’re probably next. In fact, you may already be owned.
That’s the logical conclusion to draw from a new report from Verizon’s security services group (download PDF). It’s a follow-up to Verizon’s big report in June that sifted through data from more than 500 cases the company [...]

SAN FRANCISCO — In its continuing effort to find a way to make money from its YouTube unit, Google introduced on Tuesday a type of e-commerce ad that YouTube users can click to buy digital goods from Apple’s iTunes or Amazon.com.
Under the new program, viewers of a video with a music track, for example, would [...]
