Another example of RIAA and MPAA trying to circumvent their already onerous laws. When will they learn? I freely admit that some do use P2P to download copyrighted materials. But the Internet did not start this. Indeed, they tried this lame excuse with Cassette tapes many years ago! And with all their assigned power to stop it, with gestapo tactics and storm trooper enforcement, they have not dented it. Why? Because the paradigm has shifted. Instead of embracing the new millea...
First, Kudos to all you Red Sox fans. It has been a long wait. I am acually a Mets fan, so it has not been that long for me. But Curt Shilling epitomizes the way the game should be placed, like Cal Ripken and player of old. He actually had a tendon sewn in place just before going out and Saving a game against the Yankees! But this morning on Good Morning America, the hostess asked Curt Shilling how he was feeling, and he Answered in part: I want to remind everyone to go to the Polls T...
Seems we have a major controversy brewing in the NARAL league. Seems RU486 has now been officially blamed for 3 deaths. For the uninitiated, RU486 was originally known as the morning after pill. ( That title is now reserved for a different pill that works to prevent fertilization. Thank you Lengirl for the catch on that mistake). The father of the latest victim wants the drug pulled for further testing. But I doubt that will do any good. NARAL and their allies will fight it like they...
Another prime example of Bush not securing the weapons or the ingredients! When will this incompetancy stop? HOw much longer will we have to endure these lapses in security. Where are Dan Blather and the Cant Be Sane network when you need them? Oh the travesty of it all!
In September, we had Rathergate, forged documents that were proven forged by little old bloggers, not the 'main stream' media with their wealth of resources. We should have learned from that, then and there, that some members of the mainstream media were just not playing with an unbiased book. Indeed, CBS and Dan Rather have never apologized for the smear they tried to perpetrate. Now we appear to have caught the NY Times, that [sarcasm] bastion of non-partisanship [/sarcasm] with their pan...
After Myrannder's excellant post on his reasons for voting Kerry, and his reservations, I was struck by one particular comment he made. Or actually that he attributed to Kerry. SO I would like anyone interested to answer this purely hypothetical question. For the record, I doubt that we will ever get this finite an answer, but for this hypothetical, here are the facts: Medical Science has finally answered the question about when life begins. They are able to read the distinct uniqu...
For those of you not blessed to live in the old Dominion, but perhaps are familiar with childrens books, remember "Misty of Chincoteague"? Well it was about a little girl and a pony. And it is kind of true! Every year, the VFD out on Chicoteague herds a bunch of ponies from Assateague to the mainland to auction off for their funds to work with. But now we have a scandal! Seems some people want to destroy the tradition! How do you aks and how evil could these people...
I wrote an article about 2 months ago trying to stem the tide of those that would take what I say, and distort it. When I write, I mean what I say. However, on occasion, I have had to refine what I said due to the fact that anyone can misspeak and some have called me on that. For that I am thankful I can clarify what I said. However, it goes on. My latest article has people reading into what they want to see, instead of what I say. But I have come to expect that....
A prominent republican politican once said "Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice". He was soundly trashed for that statement. But if we expand on that just a bit, we could also hear him say: Extermism in the pursuit of virtue is no vice. And that latter brings us to the topic dujour. How the ACLU and Castro are making fine bedfellows. This is not an anti ACLU tirade, but it is a warning. In their zealousness to remove all christian symbols from our societ...
Seems some say goodbye, and dont mean it. I am always sorry to see a good man or woman go, even one who has provided flame bait for one side or the other. They will be missed. But when some post 2 messages of good bye, and then dont leave, it seems we have another DQ in the making. For all those who disagree with me, or others, stay and fight! For those just wanting the latest nomination for DQ of the year, go! if you are too cowardly to stay and fight, and s...
No, this is not about politics, or even people. It is about Gorillas paying respets to one of their own who died. It is a very touching story and appears to affirm what many scientists have already claimed. Gorrillas are very intelligent, and very caring. They live in a social structure not unlike Humans. And it appears they possess many of the best of human qualities. Or we possess some of their good qualities, as I dont know who came first. I wish all the po...
It appears that Anti-freeze (not your mother's sister) has more uses than keeping your car cool. Sceintists have used it to help dogs that were paralized walk again! While not 100% effective, or without some drawbacks, the treatment looks hopeful for both dogs and man! Now if I remember correctly, John Edwards stated during the campaign that if Kerry was Elected, the crippled would walk again! Thanks to foetal stem cell research. Well guess what? Foetal stem cell re...
There is starting to be rampant speculation on the non-story of who will replace Dan Rather after he retires. (Note: Non story as his March retirement was leaked back in September in the Blogosphere.) Now there is talk about either Matt Lauer or Tim Russert. While I dont hold Matt Lauer in high regard, I still think the is a credible if slanted video journalist. Tim Russert comes closest to be unbiased in his video Journalism of any ones I have listed to, but again, why would he t...
This is from my sister. And while she is much more conservative than I, I agree with about 90% of her letter. Liberals, ignore it at your own expense. According to The New York Times, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, reflecting on her party's recent losses in the presidential, Senate and House elections, asked: "How did a party that is filled with people with values -- and I am a person with values -- get tagged as the party without values?" As one who was ra...
v. slowed, slow·ing, slows v. tr. To make slow or slower. To delay; retard. Now isn't that funny, since the Economy, according to the article grew at an outstanding rate of 3.1%! For a Quarter no less! But what does CNN call it? Economy Slowed, as in decelerated. I dont see a growth rate of 3.1% as a deceration! But that is just me. And the liberals say that CNN is unBiased? IN a pigs eye!
