DO YOU FEEL SAFER
Terrorist Attacks Rose Sharply in 2005
The number of terrorist attacks worldwide increased nearly fourfold in 2005 to 11,111, with strikes in Iraq accounting for 30 percent of the total, according to statistics released by U.S. counterterrorism officials yesterday.
Although only half of the incidents resulted in loss of life, more than 14,600 noncombatants were killed, a majority of them in Iraq alone and 80 percent in the Near East and South Asia. American nonmilitary deaths totaled 56.
The figures were compiled by the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) and released with the annual State Department Country Reports on Terrorism.

CAN YOU SAY SWEETHEART DEAL
After hearing that Rush was arrested yesterday my first reaction was that it's about time. This HYPOCRITE needs to go to court just like you and me. But he won't and it shows you just what it means to have money if you are facing that possibility.
First let's listen to what good old Rush has said in the past about drugs.
"I'm appalled at people who simply want to look at all this abhorrent behavior and say people are going to do drugs anyway let's legalize it. It's a dumb idea. It's a rotten idea and those who are for it are purely 100 percent selfish." -- Rush Limbaugh show.
"There's nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up.
"What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use. Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. Too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too." -- Rush Limbaugh show.
FOXNEWS is calling old Rush-boy a victim. The D.A. is picking on him. What BULLSHIT. He's getting away with murder. A small $30,000.00 fine (he is a multi-millionaire after all). Nothing in his life is changing.

BREAKING NEWS
Just heard on the news that Rush L was arrested in Flordia. More to follow. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
DO YOU FEEL THE PAIN YET
Let me just preface by saying that [Arctic National Wildlife Refuge] drilling is the most ridiculous solution to the problem; no surprise that it's proposed by the Republicans. Aside from environmental concerns, ANWR is still not a viable option because the drilling wouldn't provide significant oil for at least 10 years. Even then it's doubtful that it would put a dent our over all need.
The Democrats (New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez in particular) have proposed much better solutions, such as a 60-day tax-free period on gas. But if we really want to stop dancing around the whole issue and actually solve problems, we need to research and develop alternative energy sources.
The "third world" country of Brazil has put us to shame, being the first country to become independent from foreign oil. My suggestion: Follow its example; go to ethanol!
Nationalize all petroleum companies in the United States. Direct profits toward national primary education, health care, research and development of alternative fuels and stem cell technology.
NO FACT CHECK HERE
Bill O'Reilly does this kind of stuff every time he goes on the air. If it's not getting names right, it's getting pictures wrong or it's using his "creative" editing to make his point.

ANTI-GAY-RIGHTS EFFORT LOSING STEAM?
If this is true it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Supporters of an effort to overturn the state's new gay civil-rights law sent out an e-mail Wednesday saying they've collected just a fraction of the signatures needed to get the measure to voters.
Tim Eyman sent the e-mail to supporters and the media, saying that only 8,718 signatures have been gathered. He needs 112,440 valid voter signatures by June 7 to get Referendum 65 on the November ballot.
The referendum asks voters whether they want to keep the law passed this year by the Legislature, which adds "sexual orientation" to a state law that bans discrimination in housing, employment, insurance and credit on the basis of race, creed, national origin, families with children, sex, marital status, age or the presence of any sensory, mental or physical disability or the use of service animal by a disabled person.
The amendment makes Washington the 17th state with laws protecting gays and lesbians, and the seventh to protect transgender people.
Like I said if this is true it's good news. To me what we need is a law that says you can't make a living out of running these initiatives. That's what Eyman does and sometimes I think they hurt more than they help.

THEY HAD JUST ONE ARGUMENT
A couple had only been married for two weeks. The husband, although very much in love, couldn't wait to go out on the town and party with his old buddies. So, he said to his new wife, "Honey, I'll be right back." Where are you going, Coochy Coo?" asked the wife. "I'm going to the bar, Pretty Face. I'm going to have a beer." The wife said, "You want a beer, my love?" She opened the door to the refrigerator and showed him 25 different kinds of beer, brands from 12 different countries: Germany, Holland, Japan, India, etc. The husband didn't know what to do, and the only thing that he could think of saying was, "Yes, Lollipop ... but at the bar.. you know ...they have frozen glasses... " He didn't get to finish the sentence, because the wife interrupted him by saying, "You want a frozen glass, Puppy Face?" She took a huge beer mug out of the freezer, so frozen that she was getting chills just holding it. The husband, looking a bit pale, said, "Yes, Tootsie Roll, but at the bar they have those hors d'oeuvres that are really delicious...I won't be long. I'll be right back. I promise. OK?" "You want hors d'oeuvres, Poochie Pooh?" She opened the oven and took out 5 dishes of different hors d'oeuvres: chicken wings, pigs in blankets, mushroom caps, and pork strips. "But my sweet honey...at the bar...you know There's swearing, dirty words and all that..." "You want dirty words, Cutie Pie? "LISTEN UP CHICKENSHIT! SIT YOUR ASS DOWN, SHUT THE HELL UP, DRINK YOUR BEER IN YOUR FROZEN MUG AND EAT YOUR HORS D'OEUVRES BECAUSE YOUR MARRIED ASS ISN'T GOING TO A DAMNED BAR!

IT'S HARD OUT HERE FOR A PUMP
President Bush's proposals to tackle the gas crisis, including halting deposits to the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and an investigation into whether price gouging has occurred. He also want's to open up drilling in ANWR, Alaska. Gee isn't that a big surprise. The president's plan will have little to no effect on gas prices.
To be fair this problem is not just President Bush's fault. It has been in the making for 30-40 years now.
We did not follow the energy policies spelled out by a previous president, Jimmy Carter. He warned the American public decades ago that you needed to change your wasteful ways. However, instead of planning for a sustainable future, where the big three automakers would have been forced to produce much more fuel-efficient vehicles and switching from oil to other energy sources, our society decided to ignore his warning and purchase large gas-guzzling SUV's instead.
To be honest I don't know why the big car companies haven't develop better engines over the years themselves. It's all about the bottom line I guess.

Yesterdays Kitsap Sun had an article about the Speedway that NASCAR wants to build out by the Bremerton Airport. International Speedway Corp. officials and Washington legislators still are trying to nail down a firm date for a conference to help the company present its case for a speedway near Bremerton National Airport. The company wants to build a track for NASCAR races and other events on 950 acres in South Kitsap. Its current proposal calls on $179 million in public financing, $13 million from taxes on race admissions and $166 million from bonds issued by a newly created Public Speedway Authority. The Kitsap Sun invites readers to submit their "burning questions" about the speedway proposal. Depending on the complexity of the issue, our stories answering the questions will either focus on a single subject or use a question-and-answer format. We'll also take advantage of the www.kitsapsun.com Web site and the "Tracking the Speedway" Web and blog sites to further expound on the questions and to allow others to weigh in. Have a question about the speedway proposed in Kitsap County? E-mail sgardner@kitsapsun.com or call (360) 792-3343. I submitted the following two questions. Hope I get an answer, stay tuned. Submit your own questions at the email above.
What is it with the republicans. They can't win a clean race and then when they get into office they can't help themselves from becoming corrupt. This is the race in San Diego for the seat formally held by Duke Cunningham, who is now in jail. Responding to TV ads aired last week calling Democratic Congressional candidate Francine Busby a "dangerous liberal" for having "praised a teacher reported to have child porn," a spokesman for Busby's GOP opponent, Brian Bilbray, admitted the ad was "a little over the top." The ads were not paid for by Bilbray but by the National Republican Congressional Committee. Bilbray's spokesman told The Hill newspaper that the group did not coordinate with the Bilbray campaign, and that he wished "the NRCC had given us a heads-up on this." (The Hill) Don't you just love this excuse that it wasn't his fault that his party ran the lying ads. Maybe he needs to change parties.
The measure want from weak to "a charade," a critic said. A supporter called it workable (he's a republican). A lobbying bill is heading to a House vote this week without provisions requiring lobbyists to keep track of their contacts with lawmakers and report fund-raising activities. Democrats and activist groups say the bill is now too weak to change the money culture in Washington. "They took an already unacceptable bill and turned it into a charade," said Fred Wertheimer, president of Democracy 21, a group pushing for major changes in how lawmakers interact with wealthy lobbyists. TOLD YOU SO. These guys will never do the right thing. Don't believe me just wait and see how they deal with the OIL/GAS crisis and if they will take back any of the tax breaks they gave the Oil Companies. You know the Democrats will not get a minutes worth of air time to tell their side of this issue.

Another "FAN" of the BS Corner sent the following letter to me. In an effort to show we listen to all point of views. Unlike O'Reilly and Hannity that think they are the only one with anything to say. We listen to them all.
Here is the email:
comments: Dear Sir, I do not know much about you, and I hope that you will not delete this message simply because I am a Republican. I am only writing you because you seem not to be afraid to speak your mind, not just what a boss or politician wants you to say. Anyhow, you can believe that or not. My question for you is this: Is the USA trying to become a world leader, and are they trying to control the entire world through Moon philosophies, terror, etc? God bless us, but I am getting a wee bit nervous about the Intercontinental Peace King Tunnel. Do you have any insight? K. S.
If you're a republican that's fine I won't hold that against you, but you know your wrong, right? Of course I speak my mind I'm American, aren't you. The US is already a world leader. We have been since the 2nd world war if not before. Today I think we are viewed as the "ONLY" Super Power in the world. I'm sure there are some that might suggest that last part is not true if you look at what is going on in IRAQ. As to the second part of your question I'm not sure what you mean by "Moon philosophies" so I can't answer. As to the use of "TERROR" I do think this administration is pushing this to the limit. I personally believe that the way you deal with terror is as John Kerry said during the last election. It's a matter of police, courts, intelligence, and maybe military depending on the situation. I think you can see that is true on how England and Spain handled their Terrorist attacks. It was and is handled by all of the above. The "SO CALLED" war on terror is misplaced in IRAQ. Why we are in IRAQ is something I just don't get. The argument that Saddam is a bad guy may be right on but I would suggest that we might come up with a few others to add to that list. Do we attack them too? I don't have the answers I just know that come November I hope my vote will speak load and clear to Congress and the administration. Our country runs best when we have different points of view with a healthy dose of checks and balances. Remember "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." You have a way with words. Again I'm not sure what you mean by "Intercontinental Peace King Tunnel." What does that mean?
It's not surprising that nothing gets done in congress because they take so much time off. Even when they are in session they seem more interested in bashing the other side than solving problems.

You've heard the republican talking points that says: The Democrats "voted to treat millions of hardworking immigrants as felons." Or the republican noise machine saying it was the democrats that voted down the bill because they didn't want to allow an amendment. Both of these statements are not true. Here is what the RNC is doing. Spanish-language ad says Democrats voted to "treat millions of hardworking immigrants as felons." The RNC mischaracterizes the Democratic stance on immigration legislation in a radio ad running in Arizona and Nevada and aimed at Hispanics. The Spanish-language ad says (as translated) that Democrats "voted to treat millions of hardworking immigrants as felons." In fact, it was a Republican-sponsored House bill, passed in December with a heavy Republican majority, that would make it a felony either to enter the US without official permission, or to overstay a visa. Under the House bill an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants could face penalties of up to a year and a day in prison. What the ad refers to is a vote that killed a White House-inspired measure to downgrade the proposed felony to a misdemeanor. Most Democrats opposed the softening amendment, but said they did so because it still would have been too harsh - criminalizing the overstaying of a visa, which is now only a civil offense and not subject to imprisonment. You see that last sentence above, that's what the democrats wanted. They wanted this part of the law to remain the same. That's just the opposite of what the republicans are saying.
Remember the BULLSHIT during the last election when we had two initiatives that dealt with Health Care Issues. They wanted to limit the malpractice pay outs because they said the lawyers were the reason the cost of Health Care was so high. Well lookey here. The other day I talked about the Exxon executive that was retiring with over $400 million in benefits. Well now we here about United Health Group CEO, William McGuire. He isn't retiring he just get's more and more. Right now he is worth $1.6 billion in stock options. His annual pay is only $6 million a year. So I think we now have found the REAL problem with the Health Care System. Remember this is only ONE CEO. . . how many Health Care Systems are there? And what kind of pay do they get. Look at that other image, how can that stock go up 7000%. It never did anything like that when I tried my hand in the stock market.

Who are more likely to let you on the air if you disagree with the host, liberal or conservative. A survey released last week by Research 2000 President Del Ali tested how six nationally syndicated radio talk programs handle incoming calls among listeners who want to become callers. They chose 3 progressives and 3 conservatives: Liberals Stephanie Miller, Randi Rhodes and Ed Shultz; and conservatives Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Rush Limbaugh. I find this so interesting in so many ways. The folks with the biggest mouth were the ones that don't like to hear a different point of view. WOW!!! Why is that not a big surprise.
One of America's leading historians assesses George W. Bush thusly: George W. Bush's presidency appears headed for colossal historical disgrace. Barring a cataclysmic event on the order of the terrorist attacks of September 11th, after which the public might rally around the White House once again, there seems to be little the administration can do to avoid being ranked on the lowest tier of U.S. presidents. And that may be the best-case scenario. Many historians are now wondering whether Bush, in fact, will be remembered as the very worst president in all of American history.

My Mac Mini was not for me. . . It won't run Windows don't you see.
One day last week on Apr 14th and 15th I did a Post on a the neat little Mac Mini that I had purchased at Costco. One of folks that visit this BLOG sent me a message telling me that I should make sure it's the Intel version of the Mac Mini. If it's not, it won't run Windows.
Well by that time I had discarded the outer wrapping and had to figure out how you tell. I had bought a book and found the info with just a click or two. It turns out mine was a Mac Mini PowerPC not the Intel version. So running Windows on it is not possible.
I spent a lot of time thinking about just keeping this little guy. I even went to Costco Mon and Tues. to talk to them to find out if they would be getting the new Intel version. The guy said no. That the only reason they got these was cause Apple want's to dump these older machines.
He said Costco would love to sell them but Apple want's to control the price. So it's very unlikely that Costco will ever sell them. Makes me feel a little used.
That last sentence was really the deal breaker for me. I liked this Mac Mini and it was working very well on my Wireless network with my Windows computers.
I now understand why Apple is in second place and they will always be in second place. It reminds me of what happened to my very first computer, a Radio Shack TRS 80 some 28 years ago.
Back then Radio Shack wanted to control everything around it's computer which turned out to be a system killer. People didn't want a computer with little support and so it died.
After much thought I decided to return it to Costco. Now I need to think if I want to pay the extra price to get the Intel version, which but the way is a faster processor.
I don't think this story is over just yet. I got to stop this damn crying.
DAMN YOU APPLE!!!

I saw in yesterdays Kitsap Sun that Republican, aaaaahhh I mean Democrat Tim Sheldon has a challenger for his State Senate seat. Kyle Taylor Lucas, who was executive director of the Governor's Office of Indian Affairs under former Gov. Gary Locke, is running for the Democratic ticket of the 35th Legislative District. It's her first bid for public office. Sheldon is a 16 year veteran but has enjoyed republican and independent support for much of that time. He regularly goes against the Democratic party platform, voting against the gay-rights bill, expanded health-care coverage and tougher environmental regulation. He understands some Democrats were upset that he supported Bush in 2004, though he says his role as leader of a so-called "Democrats for Bush" effort has been overplayed by his critics. And he now says he regrets his vote. Wonder if he would have said that last sentence if Bush had numbers that weren't in the tank. Sheldon pointed out that Lucas was not registered to vote in the 35th District until last month after she moved to Shelton from Tumwater, south of Olympia. Lucas, 52, who still owns a home in Tumwater and leases a home in Shelton, said she was not brought in by party members. She is a native of Shelton who moved to Olympia in 1988 to take various state government positions. When Locke left office, Lucas said she decided to move back to Shelton to be closer to her daughter and grandchildren. She recently started a home-based media relations firm specializing in nonprofit organizations. I don't get why this guy isn't kicked out of the democratic party. I think the old saying "IF IT WALKS LIKE A DUCK, QUAKES LIKE A DUCK OR LOOKS LIKE A DUCK. . . IT'S PROBABLY A DUCK!" IN OTHER WORDS HE'S A REPUBLICAN.

Everything was in place for the photo op. Sen. Rick Santorum joined an assembly line of volunteers boxing up dry goods at a warehouse that distributes food to thousands of low-income Pennsylvanians. But the Pittsburgh television news crew that was supposed to capture the recent campaign event for that evening's broadcast was nowhere in sight. Democrats hope the photo mix-up will be a metaphor for Santorum's campaign against state Treasurer Bob Casey Jr. in this fall's Senate race, the most fiercely contested in the country. Since 1990, Santorum, 47, has proven to be a canny, come-from-behind campaigner who has risen to the Senate GOP's third-highest leadership post. But this year, Democrats say, his charmed political life may end as he faces an unusually imposing set of challenges. Many feel Santorum has a long list of problems. They start with the sagging, 38 percent approval rating of President Bush, to whom Santorum is closely tied doesn't help. Pennsylvanians also say Santorum has suffered self-inflicted wounds since 2000, when he won reelection despite the belief of some that he is too conservative for this centrist state. He published a book that seemed to slight public schools and mothers who work outside the home. He endured widespread criticism when it was learned in 2004 that Pennsylvania paid about $70,000 through an online program to educate his children at their home in Leesburg. But his biggest problem, many say, is that Casey is the scion of a well-known political family and has won three statewide races. Santorum bristles at attacks stemming from his 2005 book, "It Takes a Family: Conservatism and the Common Good." In it, Santorum wrote: "It's amazing that so many kids turn out to be fairly normal, considering the weird socialization they get in public schools." NOTE: Good job Rick that should get you the teachers vote. Regarding two-income families, he wrote: "For some parents, the purported need to provide things for their children simply provides a convenient rationalization for pursuing a gratifying career outside the home. Many women . . . find it easier, more 'professionally' gratifying, and certainly more socially affirming, to work outside the home. . . . Here, we can thank the influence of radical feminism." NOTE: This guy is out of touch with the real world. He has kissed the women's vote goodbye. He started a PAC that is supposed to help the poor but it seems that it is benefiting him and the folks that run it much more. He is behind the well known "K" STREET PROJECT that has connection to Jack Abramoff. This is the one race I'll be watching closely.

I hadn't planned on POSTING today other than a cartoon or two, but earlier today I got an email from a FAN of my BOLG (well he didn't say that exactly but I figured if FOXNEWS can do some creative editing so can I.

A 75-year-old Texas rancher got his hand caught in a gate while working
cattle. As the doctor was suturing the cut, the two struck up a
conversation. Eventually the subject got around to former Texas governor,
George W. Bush, and his elevation to the White House. The old Texan said, "Well, ya know, Bush is a post turtle." Unfamiliar with the term, the doctor asked what a post turtle was. The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come
across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top of it, that's a post
turtle." The doctor still looked puzzled, so the rancher explained. "You know he
didn't get there by himself, he doesn't belong there, he doesn't know what
to do while he's up there, and you just want to help the dumb shit get
down."

I spent the last day or two rearranging my Home Office getting ready for the newest member of my computer collection a MAC MINI. As I said the other day (4/10/6) I have always been a PC guy , almost 30 years now. But this MAC MINI is so neat and small I just had to get one. I already had the monitor, keyboard and mouse. Turns out I didn't need the keyboard and mouse as the Costco package came with a wireless mouse and keyboard really neat. Out of the box I was impressed with the initial ease of setup. As with the HYPE of Windows for ease of use this guy will take some work getting to know how to use it. I got the printer that's on my PC to print a test page from the MAC and was able to connect to both the WEB and my other PC on the my Network and managed to transfer files both ways. I have a lot to learn before I try the new Boot Camp option from Apple that allows me to boot the MAC MINI into Windows or APPLES TIGER. * "The future will be better tomorrow." " . . .

Newt Gingrich, the former Republican Speaker of the House, told students and faculty at the University of South Dakota Monday that the United States should pull out of Iraq and leave a small force there, just as it did post-war in Korea and Germany. "It was an enormous mistake for us to try to occupy that country after June of 2003," Gingrich said during a question-and-answer session at the school. "We have to pull back, and we have to recognize it." Don't be fooled. The plan is what Democrats started pushing for last October, which Murtha and Feingold took up, with Kerry being the latest to present a plan for strategic withdrawal, which has been the Democrats idea from the start. Once again, Republicans are too weak to lead, find solutions and make corrections when needed. They have to follow Democrats who take the heat for stepping forward, because Republicans don't have the ideas or the spine to find solutions. So the party with all the bad ideas (Republicans) is now slowly coming around to recognizing that the PARTY with good ideas (Democrats) has the right plan.

IN 1977, James P. Smith, a shaggy-haired 21-year-old known as Skinny, took a job as a meat grinder at what is now a ConAgra Foods pepperoni plant. At $6.40 an hour, it was among the best-paying jobs in town for a high school graduate. Nearly three decades later, Mr. Smith still arrives at the same factory, shortly before his 3:30 a.m. shift. His hair has thinned; he has put on weight. Today, his union job pays him $13.25 an hour to operate the giant blenders that crush 3,600-pound blocks of pork and beef. "I will probably have to work until I die," Mr. Smith said in his Nebraskan baritone. Not so for Bruce C. Rohde, ConAgra's former chairman and chief executive, who stepped down last September amid investor pressure. He is set for life. All told, Mr. Rohde, 57, received more than $45 million during his eight years at the helm, and was given an estimated $20 million retirement package as he walked out the door. JUST A NOTE: That $6.40 that Mr. Smith started with is about what the national minimum wage is today. . . some 30 years later. That's a damn shame. Don't you just love it. This 30 year employee works hard for his money and in all that time he just barley doubles his income. Yet the CEO get millions in the short 8 years he works there.

Well after almost 30 years of working with IBM PC's, my first computer which I still have is a Radio Shack TRS-80 I've bought my first Apple computer. It's the Apple Mac Mini. Yesterday I went to a demo of it in Tacoma at the CompUSA store it lasted about an hour and a half. The young man that put on the demo did an excellent job and really new his stuff. The first thing that struck me was how fluid the Operating System seemed just the opposite of Windows, which makes me wonder why Microsoft with all their money didn't buy Apple. This my not be fair because I haven't even put my hands on the system yet but from what I saw yesterday I'd say Apple seems to have better programmers. I was so impressed I decided that I was going to buy one. I already had a keyboard, mouse and monitor which do not come with the system they are extra. I had noticed about a month ago that Costco was selling a Mac G5, not the Mac Mini. That was the first time I'd ever seen and Apple computer sold at Costco. Then about a week or so ago they added the Mac Mini so on my way back from Tacoma I decided to take a closer look at the system they offered. Costco is selling the top of the line Mac mini with a faster processor, 80 gb hard drive vs. a 60 gb, a super CD and comes with a wireless keyboard and mouse. Costco's price is $699. This same system at CompUSA is $799 plus $59 each for keyboard and mouse for a total of $917. I bought one. For the next few days I'll be spending my time setting this little guy up and learning to use it. More to follow.
LA JOLLA, Calif. -- This Race Could Signal Partisan Shift. . . Democratic Front-Runner Hails From GOP District. Francine Busby is a Democratic candidate for Congress. Running in a special election to be held Tuesday to replace convicted felon Randy "Duke" Cunningham. The race to replace the Republican war-hero-turned-corrupt-pol, Busby is giving the Democratic Party tantalizing hope that her race against what her party has dubbed "the culture of corruption" might just succeed. Busby leads the pack of 18 candidates (including 14 Republicans), garnering anywhere from 35 to 45 percent in polls.
The three-star Marine Corps general who was the military's top operations officer before the invasion of Iraq expressed regret, in an essay published Sunday, that he did not more energetically question those who had ordered the nation to war. He also urged active-duty officers to speak out now if they had doubts about the war. Lt. Gen. Gregory Newbold, who retired in late 2002, also called for replacing Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and "many others unwilling to fundamentally change their approach." He is the third retired senior officer in recent weeks to demand that Mr. Rumsfeld step down. In the essay, in this week's issue of Time magazine, General Newbold wrote, "I now regret that I did not more openly challenge those who were determined to invade a country whose actions were peripheral to the real threat - Al Qaeda." The decision to invade Iraq, he wrote, "was done with a casualness and swagger that are the special province of those who have never had to execute these missions - or bury the results." Though some active-duty officers will say in private that they disagree with Mr. Rumsfeld's handling of Iraq, none have spoken out publicly. They attribute their silence to respect for civilian control of the military, as set in the Constitution - but some also say they know it would be professional suicide to speak up. "The officer corps is willing to sacrifice their lives for their country, but not their careers," said one combat veteran. * "We must all hear the universal call to like your neighbor as you like to be liked yourself." . . .

The Bush administration is studying options for military strikes against Iran as part of a broader strategy of coercive diplomacy to pressure Tehran to abandon its alleged nuclear development program, according to U.S. officials and independent analysts.
"The threat from Iran is, of course, their stated objective to destroy our strong ally, Israel," Bush said. "That's a threat, a serious threat. . . . I'll make it clear again that we will use military might to protect our ally Israel."
It doesn't look or sound to me like Bush thinks much about history. God knows he "can't think of any mistakes" he's made. Those are his words not mine.

Well it is for some. Look at the top 10 most profitable companies, do you see your name there? The most profitable Oil producers were money machines last year, but blue-chip companies outside the energy patch were big earners too. Corporate profits among the FORTUNE 500 roared in 2005, led by $36.1 billion that flowed into Exxon Mobil's coffers -- the biggest annual profit on record for a U.S. company. That means the nation's biggest oil company was earning nearly $99 million a day, or about $1,140 a second.
Well it looks like the Seattle Super Sonics aren't getting the $200,000,000.00 remodel job of the KeyArena. Even the Governor got it to it by sending a letter to the Mayor of Seattle urging him to let the Sonics franchise know where the city stands on making improvements to KeyArena. "We have retained advisers to help us explore options, including a new facility within the region and potential sale of the franchises, particularly given the numerous inquiries that we have received," Walker's statement said. "The sale of the franchises has never been our preferred option, but given time running short on our current lease, we must contemplate all scenarios. "This ownership group has no interest in owning professional basketball franchises outside the state of Washington," he added. To me the Sonics are doing the same thing that many of these sports franchise do and that is to threaten to sell or move if they don't get what they want. I say let them sell the team. * "I think if you know what you believe, it makes it a lot easier to answer questions. I can't answer your question." . . .

Are you paying a fee to use your ATM? These machines were first promoted to be a convience for the Banks customers (how special). Then the Banks saw them as a way to make some money. At first it was just a low 25 to 50 cents fee. Now look at what the average fee is.

I'm sorry but McKinney got it wrong and needs to step up and say she did get it wrong when she hit the cop. Let's say that it wasn't McKinney but a bomber that got around the metal detectors. Would they still say "DAMN HE TOUCHED HER". Let's get real here. Also on CNN Situation Room Wolfe had pictures of her that is in the BOOK the police use and a picture of her now. I wouldn't have recognized her and I suspect that 60-70 percent wouldn't have either. BTW, isn't it HER responsibility to update that photo. Back in the 70's I moved my family (wife and kids) from Bremerton to San Diego. Lived there for about 5-6 years but we all missed the change in weather and wanted to move back home. I was offered a job but they wanted to conduct an interview so they flew me up to Bremerton. I got the job. I took the opportunity to spend a few extra days and stayed with my sister and her husband and kids. Back then the Afro was a big deal for men and women. Me, my hair was always straight. For some reason my sisters kids talked me into doing the Afro thing. My sister said that I would be able to wash the perm out if I didn't like it. Well it turned out pretty good and I did like the look of my new "do". My short vacation was over and so I flew back to San Diego. I didn't tell my wife and kids about my new hair style. When the plane landed and we were unloaded I was walking down this long hallway toward the main terminal. It turns out my wife and kids who had come to pick me up passed me in the hallway but didn't recognize me. I think McKinney is using this profiling BS when there isn't any.

George Allen said today on THIS WEEK that "AMERICA CAN'T WALK AND CHEW GUM." (I made the quote up). But the truth is that is exactly what he is saying when he talks about the issue of illegal immigration. He want's the illegal aliens to go home first before they try to come back with a working permit. Some of these folks have been here for years. They have families. Their kids are in school. Should they go back too? Or just their mom and dad. I guess Allen's attitude is a result of being in congress to long. . .he's out of touch with America. * "I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy -- but that could change. . . .

I've been racking my brain to understand some of this debate on Illegal Immigration. For example it's estimated there are some 10 to 20 million illegal's in this country.
So the argument goes if you say to those already here you have conditions that you must follow in order to become a citizen.
You need to have a job. You need to learn English. You need to pay a fine. You need to pay your taxes. After a number of years you will then be placed at the back of the line to get to your citizenship.
So the opponents to this plan come back and say this gives the illegal's a free pass to the front of the line.
I'm telling you I don't get it. It's so much BULLSHIT.
Why do these folks think they should have a pass around security in the first place is beyond me. I say make them all go through machine. God knows the way some of these folks act they could be the biggest danger to security.

I've heard that the "NASCAR GROUP" is worth between 3 and 4 billion dollars. So my question is a two part question.
1.) Why do they need ANY state aid with a company valuation like that.
2.) Why don't they want to finance it all and get all the profits.
I've heard or read somewhere that this state/private partnership is a safe investment because in the event the track
IS NOT successful all the risk falls on the bond holders. My question is: Didn't they say the same thing about the
Washington Public Power Supply System (WPPSS) many years ago. Didn't the state end up footing the bill (over 2

A man goes to see the Rabbi. "Rabbi, something terrible is happening and
I have to talk to you about it."
The Rabbi asked, "What's wrong?"
The man replied, "My wife is poisoning me."
The Rabbi, very surprised by this, asks, "How can that be?"
The man then pleads, "I'm telling you, I'm certain she's poisoning me. What should I do?"
The Rabbi then offers, "Tell you what. Let me talk to her. I'll see what I can find out and I'll let you know."
A week later the Rabbi calls the man and says. "I spoke to your wife...spoke to her on the phone for three hours. You want my advice?"
The man said yes, and the Rabbi replied, "Take the poison.

MAC MINI ALL DAY LONG
QUICK STAT:
BIG MAC DAY
( Click on image for a larger view. )
Good afternoon......I totally concur on the Mac Mini BUT I went
to Costco and they said the core-duo models won't be in the stores for
quite a while. Are you sure you didn't get the PowerPC version? If you did
then unfortunately you can't run Boot Camp. But Costco's liberal return
policy will at least help there. Thanka and I really enjoy your web site.
Bob
Hey Bob,
Oh My Gosh. . .
Your absolutely right. It is the PowerPC version. I knew that you needed
the Intel version and just ASSUMED that since COSTCO just the past two weeks
or so started to carry the APPLE line they would all be the Intel version.
I didn't even ask.
I've got the guy up and working. I can get to the Internet just fine. It
was able to find my Linksys Wireless Network and I can see and transfer
files without a problem. I am able to print from my Mini to my printers so
everything is working just fine.
You know other that I can boot up in Windows with the Intel chip I'm now
asking myself WHY? What would be the point (other than it's fun and because
I can). Right now I can share and print files.
I know I haven't had enough time yet to know what I can and can't do with
the setup as it is right now. For example WORD, EXCEL and Quicken and other
files. Will they transfer? And can I use them even if the do. Then I ask
myself well do I usually transfer these files between my other computers and
the truth is not often. In the case of Quicken never.
In terms of taking this guy back to COSTCO I guess I could except. . .
(always something). When I was opening the Mac mini package (they use that
HARD plastic that you need Tin Snips to open the darn thing, I mean talk
about a mess. Then there is problem 2. Yesterday was Recycle Day and guess
what I did with that outer wrapping. . .YEP it's now in the Bremerton
recycle center being ground up to become the next generation of PACKAGING. .
. only stronger.
Are you a MAC guy? What do you think. What would be 2-3 big advantages,
other than physical DESK space (see attached pic). Come to think about it
now that I look at it that is one really big issue especially if your not
interested so much in sharing files.
One last thing (maybe next time you'll think twice about sending me a
message from my blog), can you recommend a good MAC users book I can buy to
help this tired old Windows user to learn the deep secrets of the Mac.
Something like "MAC MINI for MINI MINDS" would be a good start.
Thanks for the help and heads up,
Mick

01. From what I remember all of the stories about the war on christmas that he used as proof were debunked.
02. O'Reilly is a turd, what more needs to be said?
03. O'Reilly. what an unbelievable loser.
04. The Mad Hare with BAD HAIR
05. OMFG NOoooooooooooo!!!!!!! The Global War on Easter has begun.
Get you $23,000 Italian shotguns and blast those bunnies.
06. Life imitates art. Colbert has been featuring the War on Easter for weeks.
As for O'Reilly, his weapon of choice is the video editing machine.
07. Oh my --- God. Please make it stop. Please. . . . . . . .words fail
08. Wow. . .I thought I had made up the phrase on this comment boards months ago.
Holy sh*t, someone like O'Lielly actually ran with it. . .
09. Can we predict a War on Memorial Day, too? War on Secretary's Day?
10. O'Reilly does realize that the Easter Bunny and Santa aren't actually in the Bible, right??
11. Doesn't this stupid jerk realize that neither the Easter Bunny nor Santa Claus
have anything to do with Christianity? They are both related to Pagan holidays, not
Christian holidays. What a dumbass.
12. Bill must be REALLY getting desperate to recycle this kind of pathetic and fabricated tale.
13. There is no war on religion. Just a bunch of irritated people standing up when it is forced
upon us against our will. Not the same.
14. O'Reilly does realize that the Easter Bunny and Santa aren't actually in the Bible, right??
15. Anyone else remember the original TV, right-wing whackjob, Wally George? O'Reilly
makes him look sane.
16. . . .gosh . . . so all those Peeps, Cadbury eggs, plastic Easter baskets and cello grass
I saw at Target the other night . . . not to mention the giant frickin Bunny for kids to take
pictures with at the Mall . . .those are all banned, now?

PRETTY GOOD JOKE
Dan Quayle, proving once again any dummy can be Vice President:
YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID.
THE YEAR IS 1906. ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
What a difference a century makes!
Here are some of the U.S. statistics for the Year 1906:
Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and ice tea hadn't been invented yet.
There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day.
Two out of every 10 U.S. adults couldn't read or write.
Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school.
Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at
the local corner drugstores. Back then pharmacist said, "Heroin clears
the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and
bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health." (Shocking!)
Eighteen percent of households in the U.S. had at least one full-time
servant or domestic help.
There were about 230 reported murders in the entire U.S.
SO, to think I forwarded this from someone else without typing it myself,
and sent it to you in a matter of seconds!
Try to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years.
