RANT: Couric as a “news” person
Tuesday, September 5, 2006I don’t understand and perhaps someone can explain it to me.
For the most part, the media is left of center in the right left paradigm. They are all big government cheerleaders. On talk radio, one finds some claims to be small government, but that is quickly sniffed out as a lie. Many of the “right” web sites, have roasted Ms. Couric as a leftist. Yet, during her coronation now as a “new anchor”, she gets the rightest of the right talk show guys Rush to cheer-lead for her.
I just don’t understand.
Hence, I avoid all the news interpretation. Just give me the facts and I’ll draw my own conclusions. I think this is a good policy for all the talking heads.

TECH: Been using VWBBie a lot and it just seems slow
Tuesday, September 5, 2006Over the week end I ran off VWBBie a lot. (Don’t ask! Typical weekend horror story that I’ve been having lately.) And VWBBie was a little balky. Dropped connects and windoze stupidity led to some reboots. It was just hard to get stuff done. When it would drop out completely and there was no free wifi available, I wonder what everyone, proclaiming “the writeable web is great”, does when there ain’t no connection to that web. Hmmm, don’t sell the island of computing theory short just yet.
This morning I ran a different speed test
2.6 megabits per second
Communications 2.6 megabits per second
Storage 311.4 kilobytes per second

LIBERTY: “both approaches failed” … because they start with the gubamint!

Fixing government in New Jersey
***Begin Quote***
But it is not likely to be as easy as it might sound. Gov. Whitman slashed government spending and in the process gutted the DEP, but that approach has come back to haunt the state as several high-profile contamination cases in North Jersey show. The McGreevey administration, on the other hand, was a bastion of patronage and unnecessary government growth — boosting the state’s payroll without improving its provision of services.
Both approaches were failures and now the state is facing a fiscal implosion that, because of the competing layers of government, inefficiencies and the state’s culture of legal corruption could lead to a property tax revolt.
***End Quote***
I think you hit the nail on the head when you said “both approaches were failures and now the state is facing a fiscal implosion”. It’s the approach is always flawed when it starts with the gubbamint. Argh! Best way to handle the toxic site problem would be to “sell” (i.e., give some one the property with a chunk of change) the property to someone, anyone, or group. At least there would be someone to hold accountable. Rather than the faceless nameless stupid gubamint.

LIBERTY: In the Best Interests of the Children
Monday, September 4, 2006http://www.lewrockwell.com/taylor/taylor130.html
***Begin Quote***
Educational priorities in America’s schools, public and private, are rarely based on definitive long-range goals to meet the complete needs of students. There are certainly many fine educational examples, but too often those are limited in scope and not district-wide. Many occur by happenstance, or are brought about by a few excellent teachers, many of whom often provide instruction in unapproved ways; using unapproved materials; unsupported by administration.
***AND***
It need not be that way. There are fine models that America could replicate, in public and in private schools; in day schools and in residential. One model would be the educational whole-child philosophies and whole-life focus of The Institute of the Deaf, Sint-Michielsgestel, The Netherlands.
However, American educational decisions are too often made by people who put power over scholarship; ambition over the best interests of children.
***End Quote***
It’s most interesting how the subtle change in motivation from the US government school (i.e., treating the deaf) to a private school (i.e., the priest educates people who happen to be deaf) produces remarkable results. We have to get the government out of all sorts of things that it gets into because it wastes time, money, and people’s lives. imho

FUNNY: ‘attempted to thwart the arresting officer by covering his ears and saying, ‘I cannot hear you, la la la la la.’

Keeping an eye on crime
BY DAVE BARRY
(This classic Dave Barry column was originally published on May 14, 2000.)
***Begin Quote***
Speaking of legal defenses: A fascinating one is described in The La Crosse (Wis.) Tribune, sent in by alert reader Jim Hansen. The paper quotes a police report as saying that a motorist who had been stopped on suspicion of drunken driving ‘attempted to thwart the arresting officer by covering his ears and saying, ‘I cannot hear you, la la la la la.’ ”
Incredibly, this legal defense did not work, even though it is almost identical to the one used successfully by President Clinton during his impeachment trial on charges of extreme mentoring.
***End Quote***
I have no use for politicians of either ilk, but this made me laugh.

LIBERTY: Cottage kits could spark the post-Katrina recovery
Sunday, September 3, 2006http://www.newsobserver.com/104/story/481759.html
***Begin Quote***
Four floor plans will be offered, ranging from 544 square feet to 936 square feet. On average, the cottages will take four to six weeks to build. They were all designed to allow for future expansion.
***End Quote***
Smaller is quicker and, if the gubamint stays out of the way, it could provide demonstrable relief quickly.

RANT: It not enough to predict the future … …
Sunday, September 3, 2006… … you have to be able to persuade someone to do something to avoid the consequences of your prediction.
I call this the “Delphi Oracle” problem. You might be able to predict the future, but you are powerless to change it.
Akin to the cartoons where the Wylie Coyote chases the Roadrunner off the cliff, we are powerless to save others or ourselves from obvious disaster.
So I am befuddled. I lay out the prediction, all the steps leading up to it, everyone agrees, but we CAN’T change course. We have to run into that brick wall!
Arghh!

TECH: ZOHO VIRTUAL OFFICE 3 pins the cpu on luggable … your mileage may vary
Sunday, September 3, 2006Put up ZOHO, as part of killing a Sunday afternoon, and all it does is pin the cpu percentage. And, doesn’t appear to do email with gmail. YMMV but I nuked it. It has some strange web interface that conflicts with the wiki web server I have on luggable.

You can’t trust their numbers. They get to manipulate us by manipulating the stats. And, we believe them. Sheeple!
