What a run… One of last true newspapers in America, the New York Sun, is closing it’s doors today. I’ve been a reader and a fan of the Sun from the start… Over the last 6 and half years it’s front page has carried everything from photographs of works of art to exposes on corruption […]

Bill & Jerry… Dude???
Microsoft has released the second in a series of ads featuring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld… It’s an improvement over the first one but I’m still not sure what Microsoft is trying to accomplish with these ads. Dude, I mean WTF???
Bill & Jerry… WTF???
Dude, WTF??? I have no idea what Microsoft is trying to accomplish with this new ad featuring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld… but if this is their response to Apple’s hugely successful Get a Mac campaign they might want to go back the drawing board. Again… Dude, WTF???
LPGA To Require English For International Players…
A lot has already been written about this so I’ll keep my remarks short… I agree wholeheartedly with the LPGA’s decision. English is the dominate language in this country and if you want to succeed in business you have to be able to speak the language. Make no mistake about it professional golf is a […]
Ho-hum Redux
I really should write something… Unfortunately, most of what’s in the news at the moment bores me to tears. I couldn’t care less about the Olympics and I’m sick of the presidential campaign… Cassandra at Villainous Company pretty much sums up my mood here. I am deeply concerned about Russia’s assault on Georgia… I’m not […]
Happy Birthday America!
In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which […]
SCOTUS Gets It Right…
I have to admit I’m plesentantly surpised by the Supreme Courts ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller (07-290). The court, in my opinion, got it more or less right. I don’t know anyone who is arguing for an unfettered right to own firearms. The second amendment of the Constitution guarantees our right own firearms […]
Joe American
This guy gets it… Unfortunately none of our elected leaders seem to. Pass it on.
Flag Day
I can’t think of a better tribute to Old Glory and ideals it represents than “Ragged Old Flag” by Johnny Cash.
Race to Zero? How About Bad Idea…
I’ve been busy and haven’t been in a blogging mood over the last couple of days but I thought I’d point out a couple of great posts by David Harley and Randy Abrams at ESET’s Threat Center blog. They’re both about the Race to Zero contest being held during the Defcon 16 conference. What is […]
Disgusting
Disgusting is about the nicest thing I can say about the cover of the April 21st issue of Time Magazine. There are somethings that are sacred, that symbolize courage and selflessness Joe Rosenthal’s photograph of Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima is one of them. Time’s decision to alter that photograph by removing our […]
Is it me?
Is it me or has the world gone nuts? I picked up my local paper this morning and there was front page story on two 13 year olds being arrested for threatening to shoot a public school teacher. I’ll be the first one to admit I had more than a few disagreements with my teachers […]
Duh… A mind is a terrible thing to waste!
Have you ever wondered why so many Europeans think Americans are idiots? Here’s a good example of why… Meet Kellie Pickler country music star and someone who is dumber than a 5th grader. Update: After watching this clip a second time and reading some comments associated with it I feel compelled to say something to […]
