your invaluable time and energy to another source, in case

Go fuck yourself Ben. You still don't seem to get that the above problem occurs mostly when people are commenting on posts, not creating them.
This website sucks, I hope it dies a pathetic death you shitty web-designer you. No wonder why you can't pick up a real job.

All the crazies have come out illuminating God's storm Katrina as the punishment for a number of sins including, homosexuality in New Orleans, the Gaza pullback of Jewish Settlers, oppression of Islamic peoples, and voting for Bush. Of course they are all wrong, and I just wanted to proclaim the TRUTH that is his word. God Punishes Everyone Sooner or Later No Matter What They Do or Say. |

I am writing this post from a techno-club/internet cafe in Quito, Ecuador. I´ve only had about 1.5 iters of Cervesa Pilsner so far and I think I´m starting to understand all the Spanish I´m hearing around me. Much Much more on this topic at some later time, but for now, let me spout a half-drunk missive...

Human Events online thinks these are the ten most harmful books of all time. I personaly think some of them were of great benefit. My list is in the comments, what's yours look like (indicate if you've read it or not too). The subjects of these books I think are so well known that you probably don't have to have read it to have an opinion about thier subjects.
1. The Communist Manifesto
2. Mein Kampf
3. Quotations from Chairman Mao
4. The Kinsey Report
5. Democracy and Education
6. Das Kapital
7. The Feminine Mystique
8. The Course of Positive Philosophy
9. Beyond Good and Evil
10. General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money |

Walter Jones (R-NC), is pissed.
The thing is, I'm all for the goals of the Iraq war. I hope its executed well and that some diplomatic solution to the Sunni insurgency can be found. However, Even if the war is a huge success, I still think America was fed a pack of lies to justify it and that our commander in chief should be impeached for lying to congress. I think that doing so will bring balance to the force or something.
Contrast and compare the seriousness here: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" and "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction."
If an impeachment doesn't happen, I think the Republicans will be the ones to inheirit the old "moral relativism" tag.

Top Secret British intelligence memo asserts Bush was fixing the facts to justify war with Iraq.
Racketeering: A conspiracy to commit serial fraud. A US federal crime.
Impeachment: U.S. Constitution Article I, Sections 2 and 3 - "the President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."

1963 - Washington, DC - 200,000 Civil rights supporters march.
1969 - Washington, DC - 300,000 Vietnam War protestors march.
1995 - Washington, DC - 400,000 participants in the "Million Man March"
Makes you wonder why the big DC protests are ignored by print and broadcast media these days...

From one of my favorite blogs:
It is normal for U.S. citizens to be under the direct control and supervision of police officers, at school, in public, and in their homes.
It is normal for the government to have complete authority over your body and over every aspect of your private life.
It is normal for the government to have policies that are in direct contradiction to the will of the people.
It is normal for the government to enforce its policies through direct physical violence and brutality.
It is normal for the government to silence dissent.
It is normal to be afraid |

How many people here agree or disagree with the following statement:

It appears that the rumors, were pretty close to true.
It looks pretty comparable in specs and pricing to the bottom-end Dell Dimension 2400.
I can't figure out how I feel about this. This as well as Apple's new iWork suite is clearly a direct challenge to the low-end wintel software/hardware market. That's good for competition, but I honestly liked Apple as a top-end niche player and I thought they were happy with that too. I wonder if this means they'll also eventually offer a 50$ lcd monitor or something.
In any case, Steve Jobs is making some serious moves here. |

Sen. Barbara Boxer and Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones object to the certification Of Ohio’s electoral votes.
Four years late is better than never I suppose. It would be cool if the left had enough seats in the house to do some damage with this contest. Its a shame that this is no more than posturing on a principle. I wish there was some really hot-shit investigative journalist that could blow this whole vote-rigging thing wide open, Watergate-style. Even a mediocre one could do it probably, its not a hard story to figure out.

It is an old perception that Libertarians are a third-party incarnation of disaffected Republicans. (Just as Greens are more likely disaffected Democrats). Here's a good article for all you freedom-loving Republicans out there. The bottom line: don't be a Libertarian just because the party you hate more is totalitarian. Be a Libertarian because any party is totalitarain. |

It seems this administration doesn't understand that the government has to have its advertising during the commercials and has to identify itself as the advertiser, just like every other institution. |

I know more than a fair number of people who have switched to macs now for the reasons described in this article. Is it really that bad out there? I mean, I don't even have virus software on my macs at home; never needed it. Do you have to be a computer expert (like all of you) to keep your windows machine clean and operational these days? |

I'm still pissed off that we haven't yet caught Osama bin Laden and bewildered as to why Bush was excused this simple fact in the election. When the WTC went down, I immediately thought that we should build another pair, but twice as tall. So naturally I was enraged to learn that the new "Freedom Tower" was going to cheat on the height and frankly I don't give a shit about the symbolism of it being 1776 feet tall.
Technically, we'd still have tallest fucking tower in the world, so maybe I shouldn't be so worked up. Then I learned about a new tower being built by Samsung in the United Arab Emirates, the place where all of al Quaeda's money comes from. The Burj Dubai is destined to reach 800 meters, dwarfing the Freedom Tower's 541 meters.
I want this Burj Tower bombed the day its finished. We can start a Samsung boycott today though. |

I've found a link between why Ben becomes so annoyed with my bad, rushed writing and why muhgcee's auction made me feel so uneasy.
From Mark Slouka's, "Quitting The Paint Factory"
The new man, Marinetti wrote – and this deserves my italics – would communicate by "brutally destroying the syntax of his speech. He wastes no time in building sentences. Punctuation and the right adjectives will mean nothing to him. He will despise subtleties and nuances of language." All of his thinking, moreover, would be marked by a "dread of slowness, pettiness, analysis, and detailed explanations. Love of speed, abbreviation, and the summary. 'Quick, give me the whole thing in two words!'" |

Another religious topic...
Since I began teaching in Damascus six months ago, I have been continually surprised to find support and even admiration for Bush in that city, mixed in with the usual polemics about American imperialism.
...
A final piece of the puzzle fell into place when I learned that more than half of the students in my advanced class, among them a third-year medical student and daughter of a Western-based diplomat, rejected the theory of evolution. "I just can't believe that we came from monkeys," she said.

For some reason, this article made it as a top hit on blogdex. Here are some quotes I found interesting.
"A British philosophy professor who has been a leading champion of atheism for more than a half-century has changed his mind."
...
Yet biologists' investigation of DNA "has shown, by the almost unbelievable complexity of the arrangements which are needed to produce (life), that intelligence must have been involved," Flew says in the new video, "Has Science Discovered God?"
Now could someone please explain to me when ABC news began to consider philosophy professors as experts in molecular evolution? How is this newsworthy? |

They took the media first, then the congress, the presidency, the supreme court and soon, the universities. It seems that the republican propaganda machine has sent out a new memo.
University professors are liberal! Shocking!

This link goes along with some other links I've been posting lately. I've always strived to be a critical thinker but to also respect views I don't agree with. I think I'm through with being intellectually fair to the red state mentality. I officially condemn thier "values" and thier "morals" if that's even what you want to call them. Fuck you, red states and your gay-hating, divorcing, teen-impregnating, undereducating dumbass selves. I've never met a fundamentalist christian I didn't like. But what the fuck? If you people insist on living outside of reality any longer, there's going to be fucking civil war.

I had a thought the other day. Don't the vast majority of Americans feel that the Vietnam war was a huge mistake that ultimately accomplished too little for too much?
And if so, why is everyone so worked up about the Vietnam records of Bush and Kerry? I mean shouldn't these guys be bragging about how they managed to get out of Vietnam early by making claims on any wound they could, or bragging about having avoided Vietnam all-together?
Wasn't Vietnam supposed to be a war nobody but Johnson and Nixon wanted? Doesn't that mean that the people who subverted it by avoidance or abbreviation of service were the heros (as opposed to the guys who delusionally believed they were fighting commies and signed on for like six consecutive tours of combat duty?

I've discussed this before but in a more ambiguous way. Remember that a right is only meaningful if you can choose not to exercise it. This link above demonstrates a damn good example of how Capitalism can come in direct conflict with Freedom.

"Civil liberties lawyers now speak in terms of a "drugs exception" to the Bill of Rights, [...] Throughout this whole experiment, my worst-case scenario, [...], had always been the team of agents armed with a search warrant, tearing up my house and garden while my family and I look on helplessly. I had always assumed, though, that the government would need some physical evidence (surely the poppies themselves!) or at least an eyewitness--some sort of independent corroboration of the fact that I grew poppies--before it could bring charges against me.
But after two decades of war against drugs, the power of the government to move against its citizens has grown even greater than many of us realize. |

I'm not even kidding. I really think we should do this. If George Bush does not invade these two countries right now I'm going to assume that he's either a supporter of terrorism or that he condones these acts and thinks the world is better off with Omar el-Bashir and Bashar al-Assad in power. |

If you dislike Bush, you shouldn't like Kerry. Don't think for a second that these two guys aren't in cahoots.
Here is a CBS article on Skull and Bones, and how John Kerry and George W. Bush were in it at the same time.
Skull and Bones is basically a secret frat with the stated mission of advancing its memebers into positions of post-graduate power. They accept just 15 freshman a year. Sen Kerry arrived at Yale in 1962 and Mr Bush, two years later.
Can anyone say "token challenger"? |

This article got me thinking about the right way to conduct a protest in today's world. The main thrust of the article isn't about protest so much as how free speech is beaing supressed around the country today. It seems we have torn down the leadership of Iraq only to become much more like it.
Anyway, that's beside the point I want to make. The article talks about these stupid "free speech zones" that have been set-up at repubiican and democrat political functions lately. These are a total farce in that they are for free speech at all, they are for dissenters. People who support the particular party in question aren't restricted to these zones.
So then I ask, why protest at a political function at all? The only way to have your protest be meaningful is be on TV. Television has a narrow lens and even if you were protesting right next to your target, the TV might still never show it. I think that the space a protest is held in is somewhat irrelevant. The time at which a protest is held I think is the greater advantage. However, the objective is still to have your protest heard on TV. So maybe if you are protesting a political event (whereever it is in the country) it would be better to protest right in front of all the local TV station buildings in that town? Doesn't that make more sense?

I went home for lunch and got a phone call. Here's a paraphrased transcript:
Recorded voice: "Hello my name is Sally and I would like for you to participate in a brief survey. If you would like to participate, press 1, if not, press 2"
me: *presses 1*
RV: "John Kerry wants to raise taxes. Do you agree with John Kerry's plan to raise taxes? press 1 for yes, and 2 for no and 3 for undecided."
me: *presses 3*
RV: "Thank you. Will John Kerry's plan to raise taxes make you more likely to vote for, or against him? press 1 if you are against him, press 2 if you are for him, and press 3 if you are undecided"
me: *presses 3*
RV: "Thank you. This message has been paid for by the Committee to Re-elect President George Bush and the Maryland Republican party, Treasurer Blah McBkladityblah. Good bye"

First there was Secretary of the Treasury Paul O'Neil. Now maybe Tom Ridge and Don Rumsfeld too?
"Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge might step down after the November election, telling colleagues that he's worn out from the huge reorganization of government. Ridge also said he needs to earn money in the private sector to put his teenage children through college."
"While Vice President Cheney remains part of Bush’s tight, inner circle, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has fallen out of favor and tells his staff that 'no matter what happens in November, I’m outta here.'"
Of course, Clinton had the same problems, I remember two resignations from his cabinet, Mike Espy (Agriculture) and Federico Peña (Energy). I remember a ton of rumors about others but I can't remember if any others came to be. |

This article really pissed me off. Its clearly left-wing anti-Bush propaganda, but that isn't the part I dislike. I really hate the incorrect implication that his craziness is a result of his past drug abuse, as opposed to a cause of his past drug abuse. It feeds the bogus notion that alcohol/cocaine can make you permanently crazy. Its the other way around, being permanently crazy can make you an alcoholic/addict.

You are an SECF--Sober Emotional Constructive Follower. This makes you a hippie. You are passionate about your causes and steadfast in your commitments. Once you've made up your mind, no one can convince you otherwise. Your politics are left-leaning, and your lifestyle choices decidedly temperate and chaste.
You do tremendous work when focused, but usually you operate somewhat distracted. You blow hot and cold, and while you normally endeavor on the side of goodness and truth, you have a massive mean streak which is not to be taken lightly. You don't get mad, you get even.
Please don't get even with this web site. |

So, I had a realization that when work starts to piss me off, I've adopted the bad habit of transfering my anger to this blog. This usually manifests as a half-assed provocation at a flame war or a stupid mac vs PC debate. If its even close to successful, I end up getting frustrated anyway because it never ends up making me feel any better in the end. (When I'm particularly pissed off I'll get drunk and start a competition to see how many people I can get to squelch me on #fark without letting on that that is a goal.)
Then I realized that alot of us bitch about work on this blog (my way just being much more oblique and less emotionally honest). Is it fair to say that most of us are fairly happy with the nature of our work and that its really just the people we have to deal with that piss us off?
I really hate having to eat the shit my superiors serve sometimes. I really hate the very concept behind the word "superiors". Fucking baby boomers are all over the fucking place, fucking up my planet and my country. Too many boomers and not enough us, no wonder so many of us have what? three? four? bosses each, average?

Biodiesel is the answer to American energy dependence. I know I've been fond of harping on nukes and I still think nukes have a good future for making electricity. But what we really need for energy independence is an alternative fuel, and hydrogen is the only fuel that electricity could be viably converted into (or so I thought). Unfortunately, I've recently learned that hydrogen really sucks as a fuel.
So back to biodiesel. I've looked into the arable land limitations to see if it could completely supplant drilled oil and gasoline. I found a great article on the subject, which heavily references a 1996 DOE report co-authored by a friendly acquaintance of mine, Paul Roessler. The two main conclusions are that 1) with algal pond culture, land use for biodiesel production is basically not a problem and that 2) at best, biodiesel could sell for about twice as much as fossil diesel in 1996. Except now its 2004, the cost of fossil diesel has risen and the projected costs of domestic biodiesel have not changed. Biodiesel is now a price-competitive alternative. The cars are already made for it and the diesel pumps are already built. I know how to grow algae fairly well. Anyone want to go into business?

So you all heard about the raid and arrest of Ahmed Chalabi, the US's original pick to be the Interim Iraqi president, right? In case you didn't, the reason why they liked this guy so much is becasue he was a Shia (like the majority of Iraqis), was American educated, and very anti-Saddam. Now it looks like he was just a disguised mouthpeice for Iran.

And all you hippies that buy into the marketing of the "organic food" label are being conned by the big business corporations behind it. Organic food is a manipulation of reality. The shit is vastly more expensive and less safe for you than good-old-fashioned USDA and FDA approved stuff.
What's more, the big business of "organic foods" is trying to make thier product cheaper by relaxing the standards of making "organic food" while retaining the only thing they really like about it, the "organic" label. |

You guys want to play slueth? So if you have a mac, open safari and then open your downloads monitor (or if you are feeling destructive, use your windows machine and explorer). Then go to the al-jazeera.net website. You should immediately notice that something tries to download itself. On the mac I've noticed it never actually installs. I just tried it now on my windows machine at work (I've had a few minutes to kill on blogdex, and here). Suddenly I remember the little ware, quit explorer and tried to quit outlook. Then my puter locked up. Then I just shut the whole thing down, ctrl, alt, del style.
So here's the question for all you super-nerds. What the hell is this download?
Spyware for the NSA to monitor my browsing habits (I'm reading al-jazeera, therefore I must be a terrorist).
Al-Quaeda using al-jazeera as a cyber-war launch site?
What?

"One thing is for certain: There won't be any more mass graves and torture rooms and rape rooms [in Iraq]."—Bush, press availability in Monterrey, Mexico, Jan. 12, 2004
"[B]etween October and December 2003, at the Abu Ghraib Confinement Facility (BCCF), numerous incidents of sadistic, blatant, and wanton criminal abuses were inflicted on several detainees. … I find that the intentional abuse of detainees by military police personnel included the following acts:
a. Punching, slapping, and kicking detainees; jumping on their naked feet;
k. A male MP guard having sex with a female detainee;
a. Breaking chemical lights and pouring the phosphoric liquid on detainees;
d. Beating detainees with a broom handle and a chair;
g. Sodomizing a detainee with a chemical light and perhaps a broom stick."

Situation: Your gunner has successfully engaged a sexy MIG (mighty interesting girl) at the bar. But danger lurks in the form of her booty-faced Klingon copilot, a bitter she-ape who’ll do or say anything to disrupt his flight plan.
The mission: Once a pilot locks onto a MIG encumbered in this fashion, it’s up to his wingman to engage the bogey and remove her from the theater of operation. Feigning interest—buying her drinks, laughing at her stupid jokes, offering to read her hoof—may suffice to pull her aside,... |

Al Quaeda is bragging about thier nukes. If they aren't lying, it makes me wonder if the real reason we've avoided capturing bin Laden and went after Saddam instead is because we knew all along that the threat of al Quaeda's nukes were real and Saddam's weren't. We can't nuke al Qaeda because they aren't a country and don't live in a big enough group, so the whole "mutually assured destruction" strategy is shit. So maybe we haven't gone full-crazy apeshit on them yet because the administration is rightly afriad of pissing them off badly enough to use a nuke? Maybe we only went after Saddam because America was too bloodthirsty to sit idle and Iraq was the only country that couldn't threaten us back?

I was cruising some ditto-head blog the other day (I've looked but can't find the link). Anyway, all the talk of these people was about trashing groups who criticise Bush's war in Iraq by translating it into a celebration of Al Quaeda's strikes. Characterizations of the "tin-foil hat left" dancing with glee at reports of dead soldiers and such abounded.
So to set the record straight, no one is against finding and killing any group that harms or threatens America, no one, not even the "tin foil" crowd. Of course, Iraq niether harmed or threatened us, yet that is where most of our fight money goes.

I scored a 77; 51-90 points: You are a medium-core libertarian, probably self-consciously so. Your friends probably encourage you to quit talking about your views so much.
Ya, that about nails it.

I'm am a super supporter of most Libertarian social policy ideas. I have never agreed with most Libertarian economic policy ideas. Here is a good summary on why. |

So it looks like the republican agenda to dissolve social security is coming together. I don't mind that much except that if I don't get paid back for the social security wages I've paid, I'm going to join a class action lawsuit vs the government. I'm sure there will be plenty to choose from. |

"Well ... And so it now begins. My more liberal friends told me a day like this would come, and now I am forced to eat crow. Words cannot express the hurt and anger I feel for the man's blatant constitutional and moral attack on a segment of our population. And for the still wobbly among us, make no mistake ... this is an attack... I realized long ago I am (was) a Republican solely for foreign affairs. But that's not good enough anymore. |

The link goes to a nifty article on Justice Kennedy's decision on the recent Texas gay sex case. It specifically brings up an extremely elegant concept. Essentially it is an articulation of a constitutional basis for a "presumption of liberty".
Justice Kennedy is employing here what I have called a ''presumption of liberty'' that requires the government to justify its restriction on liberty, instead of requiring the citizen to establish that the liberty being exercised is somehow ''fundamental.'' In this way, once an action is deemed to be a proper exercise of liberty (as opposed to license), the burden shifts to the government |

I've noticed that many of you have been posting links to really old news (which to me is anything I've already read more than a week ago). I would encorage you all to become regular patrons of two blog ranking sites, blogdex and daypop. Hit the FAQs, click around, get the clue. |

I don't normally find TV the thing to do. Of all the things on TV I usually find the night time "news" shows to be an utter farce. 20/20 is usually one of the worst offenders. But here's an article all about what we shouldn't be afraid of. We need to further encourage 20/20's bold act of calm-mongering. |

I must know the answer. Now that I have a house I'm thinking of buying something I've wanted since I was 13. I want a stand-up video arcade game of my very own, one in particular. The problem is I forgot the name of it about 6 years ago.
Here's a description: Wire frame graphics of a tunnel or "web" that would change shapes on successive levels. You controlled a "spider" that would crawl around the edges of the wire frame webs. The spider could shoot "down" to the center of the web at various harmful nasties that would emit from the center fo the web. Sometimes the nasties might make it to the outer edge of the web where they then too could crawl around and pursue your spider. If your spider touched any of the nasties, you died. 25 cents per three lives.
What the hell was the name of this game?

I am annoyed. So I've moved (yay). Verizon said they'd have my phone lines up and running this passed monday, 1/5/04. Well, two phone numbers and 250 cell phone minutes later I still don't even have so much as a dialtone.
I think I'm going to post about my experience on Verizon's investor message board.
Does anyone know of any good competing carriers that serve Columbia, MD? Cavalier maybe?

This is an excerpt of the transcript from Governor Jesse Ventura's "America" last Saturday.
"VENTURA: Well, let me ask you this, Tom. In our Constitution, it says the right to the pursuit of happiness, doesn't it? It doesn't say anything in there that your pursuit of happiness might be that you want to be stupid."
Featured guests were Rob Kampia of the Marijuana Policy Project, Tommy Chong's attorney, and Tom Riley of the Drug Czar's Office. I'd like to see the governor's TV show go national. |

In the dissenting opinion, Clarence Thomas called diversity "the faddish slogan of the cognoscenti" -- a mere "aesthetic" that "does nothing for those too poor or uneducated to participate in elite higher education."
"There is nothing compelling about elite status," Thomas wrote, adding that Michigan "should be forced to choose between its classroom aesthetic and its exclusionary admissions system."

I've decided to take another pot-shot at Bush this morning. I've noticed that even people who would seem to support Bush think he's an idiot. (I'm thinking of you, render "Which is not to say that Bush is not a stoopid shit. He almost certainly is.") The thing that scares me about this is that no one seems to mind. As if its OK to have a simple figure-head as president. I don't know, I really think I'd rather elect someone who was actually calling the shots. I still wasn't really sure though, is it so bad? Then I came across this link.

I know a few of you EA folks have described or still describe yourselves as conservative. I have a great deal of trouble trying to figure out where I fit into the landscape of political sterotypes. I think I need more outside perspecitve on where others (especially "conservatives") put thier own views on the "political landscape". I came across this article and and thought it might be interesting to see what you folks think of it, and how the author's thinking compares to your own. |

So in the midst of the Sunday morning news shows, the daypop surfing, and the posting on this site, I've had a thought that I'm surprised I haven't seen discussed in the media more. The core beliefs of those who value democracy and the core beliefs of those who follow Shia Islam are irreconcilable.

So apparently capitalism has failed. Every gas station and hardware store was out of windshield washer fluid. I sat in my car in despair for about a minute when I had an epiphany. I work in a lab! I will make my own damn windshield washer fluid. I raced back to work and hopped on the internet to get a recipie. About 5 minutes later I was pouring into my car 5 liters of 30% Methanol in water with about a teaspoon of dish detergent. I drove home feeling a surge of pride in myself with every squirt of windshield washer fluid. I hit that windshield washer fluid lever so many times on the way it was like when I first discovered pornography.
