Hmmm…. good to know the companies that embrace fallacy.  Screw ‘em!  I’m on a purchase hold from Apple and all the others on this Obamanation campaign against the evidence (or lack thereof).   There is NO GLOBAL WARMING!!!!  Any fool willing to look at the evidence can see this.  Any other stance is motivated by some other motivation, probably to back political correctness, that should be rejected as the fallacious, fascist position that it is.  Even the iTablet, should it prove real and substantial , is now off my purchase list till Apple returns from the opiate of californication fog in which it now finds itself.

That’s right you Islama-Fascist punks, we remember and we’re still here!  If we truly were the great-satan, then you’d already be buried under feet of irradiated glass.  You want to continue on in the 14th century?  Fine.  Just keep it to yourselves.

As for you apologists out there that want to figure out what we did to make them mad, give it a rest.  They hate us because we are the big dog and while they were once a powerful, technologically advanced culture and still have tremendous resources and riches, they are now reduced to near invisibility in the grand scheme.  All the aid and assistance they have provided has resulted in resentment, not respect.  The problem is theirs, not ours.  Whatever pains they now suffer for the serious error in judgment of a few of their least human members are on their heads alone.  Like spoiled children, perhaps chastisement is the only response that will result in peace and mutual respect if not exactly mutual understanding.

Rebuild the towers!  Let them know we are not bowed, broken or humbled by their pitiful tantrum of rage.  Never forget and yes, it is OK to be enraged at evil!  Don’t let anyone talk you out of feeling righteous indignation and anger.

God bless those that lost loved ones on this date in 2001.

God bless our troops for showing the resolve of the American people through both the stick and the carrot.  Come home safe and of clean conscience for killing the enemy.  My eternal thanks for your sacrifice!

Superb article, ignore anything I’ve typed here and go read this post from Mr. Hanson.  No, really, go on, I’ll wait.

Good stuff, eh?  Troubling that those that don’t fall over in a swoon over our current President are presumed to have only one possible reason… his race.  Really ticks me off.  There are plenty of people of many races for whom I would gladly vote, not because they are that race, but because of their beliefs, values and hence, character.  Isn’t that what Martin Luther King, Jr. expressed as the realization of his “I Have a Dream” speech?

I don’t despise Obama because of his race, I despise him as I did Clinton and Carter, because of their hideous world-view that socialism is the direction America should go.  Now we can argue about who wanted to make the most changes the fastest in this discredited and proven destructive direction, but 2/3 were plain ol’ white guys and I despised them equally as much as Obama.  I do think he may be the most dangerous as so many conservative, supposed leaders remain cowed to point out that the Emperor wears no clothes because that would be racist. 

Nuts to that!  A wannabe socialist dictator should be opposed and given no quarter just because someone might call us a rude name.  Oh and guess what, I equally despise Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer and they are plain ol’ white people.  Obama would probably consider them “typical white people” like his grandmother.  I don’t despise them because of their color.  Heck, I couldn’t pick them out of a lineup as I don’t watch news, but I know what they believe and therefore they are my enemy.  Nothing to do with race, theirs or Obama’s.

Saw this article on a super smart guy researching whether or not Abraham Lincoln may have suffered from a rare disease.  The part that got me going was the opening sentence, “Did John Wilkes Booth shoot a dying man?”.  Wouldn’t it have been actually more newsworthy if John Wilkes Booth had shot a non-dying man?  Is everyone else in on some piece of history I missed, principally that in some way Lincoln was otherwise immortal except for Mr. Booth’s magic bullet?

That said, would this have been the same magic bullet that ricocheted around so devastatingly through JFK’s limo in Dallas?  Was the bullet also silver?  Were Lincoln and JFK related by the fact they were secretly werewolves or some other such immortal creature with an Achilles heel weakness to magic bullets?

This would be a fun book / screenplay / comic to write.  Could write it into the Underworld universe for the next movie, which might then actually be interesting, or just take it into a stand-alone fictional effort.  Unless of course it isn’t fictional and Lincoln wasn’t in fact dying when Booth shot him, but would have lived forever which would have been cool, cuz I’d still vote for him.

Make a great day, I gotta get back to work.

OK, so this is the last example of the day and nothing against Rafe, his post is just the last straw over the last couple days, where I’ve heard that how fast a browser opens really, really matters to the reviewer / commentator.  Seriously?  How often are people opening and closing their browsers that speed of launch is any kind of a measuring stick for the quality of a browser?  The only time I’m launching a browser is at some point after I boot my PC and then never shut down the browser until the PC does so at shutdown.  Nearly everything I do anymore occurs in a browser or is destined to be submitted, emailed, stored, etc. through the browser.  Why close it?

Rant off…

Some rants will be more serious than others.  This one’s not so serious, use your browsers any stupid way you want <grin>.
