According to the Census bureau, tomorrow, the 300 millionth American will be born/Emigrated to this Country. 300 Million! Of all developed nations, the US is growing the fastest. And that does include India and China (as a rate, not of the number of people). And according to that government institution, by 2050, we will almost be a country with a majority of Minorities. I say Great! Why? Because I believe in the American Dream. I believe that anyone, bla...

Several months ago, I told you about the notification problem. At the time I had some info, but not a lot to give you. I think I have more. Since the advent of the new Forums (they are great! BTW), I have noticed a dearth of email notifications. And in all cases it appears to be when someone posts a response in the forums, we do not get a notification that a response has been posted (from the JU side). Wincustomize, and the others seem to be working fine, it is ju...
Yep! Sunday proved that adage! North Korea, and Kim Jung Mentally Il, detonated a nuke. About the size of the Hiroshima bomb. And the reaction? Expected. Those who condemned Bush for Iraq, a nation that had a nuclear program by EVERY acount just a few years before the invasion, now are condemning Bush for not invading, or at least Nuking North Korea. Bush's Crime? He tried Diplomacy, not appeasement (Clinton tried the latter and that is why NK was in ...
For you working stiffs (Mason excepted), you may not know it but in 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue and discovered America on October 9th. Why? cause it is a Monday! As they say, leave it to a man to sail in the wrong direction, get where he was not going, and not realize he was lost! Thus was born Columbus day (even though we are named for Amerigo Vespucci - at least he knew where he was not). And a Holiday for Banks, the Feds, and States (and some students)....
Amazing the difference a boss makes! I did not realize how empty was my work spirit until "The Captain" left and I was on my own. And given the lack of communication, I had a lot of catching up to do on the 'black hole' areas. Those I was not allowed to administer, even though it was part of my job (leave that to the Wormtongue that left before the captain). In the last 2 weeks we have done more, and fixed more than in the previous 6 months (ok, that might be a slight exager...
This one right here in the old Dominion. It seems a campaign staffer for a democrat wannabee representative has now done what many democrats are finding fanciful today. She called Sen George Allen a Macacawitz. The first part in reference to his faux pas (so there is no way she or anyone in politics does not know it is a slur), and the second in reference to his Jewish Roots (Jews seem to be a favorite target of the "caring" liberals this election season). She was fired, but...
Yea, it has happened. My former troll has decided I am the lesser of 2 weevils. And he has told his old boss, yea, I am OK. So now, instead of a regular job (with occasional OT), I am on call! Why? Because they want me to take over for the troll! I am going to have to think long and hard on this. Right now, I like my job. But I don't like being called on my off time. They are not paying me enough for that. We will see. Why cant the trol...

My wife decided to surprise me and clean my computer room yesterday. SHe did a good job, but in the process broke the Wireless Switch/Router I had in my room. A very fine Netgear, that had a few quirks, but had been very reliable. So last night off to the store I went for another. Since I had to pick up a couple of things at the big box office supply store, I decided to get it there. Unfortunately, they only had D-link and Linksys. I had bought a D-Link about thr...

The number 2 bimbo in the Al Qaeda clown outfit has decided to call Pope Benedict XVI a "charlatan". The statement is so rife with irony that it drowns the message of the real Satan. Al Zawahiri. Pope Benedict is a charlatan? For quoting a 14th century emperor in a CLASS (not a doctrinal speech, a class)? While the blood of women and children stain the hands, heads and essence of these charlatans? Why irony! Oh, so you say that al Zawahiri is not a charlatan?&...
