Is this the way the human race ends?
Not with government genocide? Not with the intergenerational war over social security benefits? Not with depopulation by sex selection?
No, we talk ourselves into sterility by cell phone!

Now, boys ….
(I guess this is what happens when legislators discuss ethics)
***Begin Quote***
I sometimes think the folks who do the people’s business in Trenton are really nothing more than 8-year-old boys (and girls). Evidence the absurd behavior of the members of an allegedly bipartisan special ethics committee that met this morning. First, the committee breaks down along partisan lines in unnecessary bickering over who will chair it, and then it fails to agree on whether it should consider the plight of state Sen. Wayne Bryant, the former budget committee chairman and powerful South Jersey Democrat.

Ah, they are pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes. Everyone that buys into the myth that there is any difference between the two “major” parties. It’s political theater at it’s best. They are two sides of the same coin. Tweedily dumb and dumber. And year after year, we fall for it. It’s as illusionary as the Yankees battling against the Red Sox, as if it mattered. Only in this case, it’s the taxpayers of Nu Jerzee that fund it. Someday everyone will wake up and find out that the joke has been on us all along.

What happened to blueberries this year?
They are usually cheap and plentiful here in Jersey. Especially in the fall. This year they were scrawny and expensive and often unavailable.
Aside from the fact that I like them, they are reputed to have special unique anti-cancer anti-aging anti-everything benefits.
Whaaa, I want cheap blueberries!

NAMESDATABASE DOT COM
I didn’t give you the link because I don’t want you to go there.
I WILL put it in later in the blog, so the search engines will index it. But don’t click it!
Now the rest of the story.
Hey, I try everything. Like the Coal Miner’s Canary, when some inet thing kills me, you’ll know to avoid it. That’s me the a big fat yellow turkey that thinks he’s a canary, and has the illusion that he’s making his contribution to society. Don’t mess with my preconceived notions. And silly delusions. It’s like trying to put the lipstick on The Pig. It doesn’t make it prettier. And, it annoys the pig. (Wonder if there’s a picture on the inet of that?)
Any way.
I went to a now defunct high school. Me and my fellow alums are looking for the more than 66% who are “missing”. So, me, being in the inet maven I think I am, have been looking.
Back in January, I happened upon this site. SO I signed up, (part of finding is allowing oneself to be found), and gave it no further thought. Ran few search found nothing, or on the common names was buried in data. Oh well, on to other “stuff”.
Today, I get an email saying that they have 61 of my fellow Prepsters. (Catchy name huh?) Hey great. So I zoom over there ready to exploit.
Perusing the list, I notice right at the top they have some old guys who’s names I don’t recognize. (Hey NBD, I don’t know much.) But as I go down the list of alleged “prepsters”, there’s obvious girlz there. Huh!?! We was all boys. And then I notice that they have graduates in ’05 and ’06. It defuncted in ’71.
So, this site is worse than useless. It’s got garbage spewing forth. And, it is just adding to the noise
So avoid http://namesdatabase.com at all costs they just want to steal a subscription fee for trash.

Dell’s direct connect, Strangers With Candy!

Personally, I am very apprehensive about the very idea of allowing Dell raps to move around my PC via some unknown remote agent. It’s a nice idea for those who are comfortable in allowing a company with what I feel to be a disgusting record in the realm of tech support, rummaging around their PC.
***AND***
Dell can blow sunshine up my backside with knee jerk offers of “cool new products” and other frivolous carp all it likes.

:-)
but, how do you really feel?
I agree. I’ve been holding off buying a new notebook and will take your advice. I’ll go local and to Linux.

Sounds like a plan to me.
Throw the bums out. So what if the new bums aren’t any better. We’ll throw them out next time!
Instead of a 98% reelection rate, it should be zero.

Target joins Wal-Mart in expressing iTunes concerns
By Ryan Katz, Senior Editor
***Begin Quote***
October 9, 2006 – U.S. retail giant Target has joined rival Wal-Mart in expressing concern regarding the adverse effect digital movie sales could have on the DVD business. Like Wal-Mart, Target is less than pleased that Apple’s wholesale price for new movies from Disney is several dollars less than the wholesale price charged to Target for DVDs, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
***AND***
The Journal also discloses that shortly after Apple launched movie sales at the iTunes Store, Wal-Mart sent a top executive to Hollywood to express its displeasure over the development. The retail leader is known for using its massive clout to bring suppliers in line with its wishes.
**End Quote***
Wouldn’t you love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation? What will WalMart do? I bet it will be a doozey.

***Begin Quote***
On the face of it, almost all of the precautions to keep passsengers from highjacking an airplane are unnecessary—all it takes is a reasonably sturdy locked door between pilots and passengers. One possible response is that highjackers might persuade pilots to open such a door by threatening to kill off crew and passengers one by one until they do. In the post 9/11 world I’m not sure that would work—but suppose it would.
***End Quote***
(1) It would seem that one could weld the cockpit door shut. Pilots could use a camping toilet if needed. Seems an easy fix to me.
(2) Armed pilots used to be an acceptable solution. Why not now?
(3) Leave it to the airlines to figure out. Get the government out of all the things that it should NOT be into. Shut the TSA, FAA, and any lots of others.

Arghhh!

Subject: powerful memorial of 9/11
I thought this was a very good and powerful memorial of 9/11.
http://www.wuzupgod.com/sept11/sept11_memorial_worldwide.html
====
Nice, but it doesn’t express the rage.
We should have rebuilt the Twin Towers immediately and made them one story higher. (Is it possible to make them look like a giant middle finger?)
We should have started a program of reprisal; not war. If we identified you as an Al Quida leader, then they are just dead man walking. Period, quietly, preferable painfully.
We should have taken all our existing politicians out and collectively killed their careers on the dole. Put them out to pasture. (I have no use for either ilk D or R!) And, get some people who would return to our original Constitutional intent. The government has really only one role. That is to keep the peace. They’ve failed. So, we need to “help” them understand that they’ve failed, get them refocused on the goal, and put us back on track to peace.
Memorials are for the dead. Actions are for the living. We need to move forward in a way that makes us safe. And, it’s not by having a foreign policy where we are the world’s policeman, or in everybody’s business, or have troops in 140 countries.
I’d like to see us end welfare (corporate and individual). That solves the “immigration problem”. Shine up the Statue of Liberty. You come; you work. You don’t; you starve.
End the phony War on Drugs. We lost. You can’t change human behavior. Let WalMart take out the drug gangs. It’s hard to turn a profit competing against it. If you can go into WalMart and buy any drug, then there’s no need for violent turf wars. Pardon any non-violent prisoner.
Then cut the taxes. Washington is a cesspool of special interests. The original intent of the dead old white guys was a modest government to run a Navy and not much else. We can quibble about the right size after we cut it 90%.
That’s a fitting memorial to all the Americans who died in all the avoidable tragedies that we’ve gotten into over the decades.
imho
