Bloomberg’s World
by A.D Lelong

*** begin quote ***

Here is how Bloomie saves lives. On the exact same day he told rational people they were sick, we had a murder suicide in Queens. A 20-year-old man, with a history of mental disturbances, shot and killed his mother, his mother’s invalid boyfriend, and the boyfriend’s hired nurse. He then wounded a nephew, and turned the gun on himself. Before the incident, the mother three times tried to get the cops to do something, but they said she needed a court order. The victim’s sister said, “He was threatening to kill her, and she told the police everything. The police said we can’t do anything about it.”

*** end quote ***

Or is it that any one could be a concealed weapons carrier. Exercising their (God Given, Inherent, Constitutionally protected) RIGHT to self defense.

Argh!

RANT: Managed to muck up my worktop

I like to have a partition of the hard drive for “my” data. Stuff I create and back up. Done it lots of times before. Tried it last night and now the pig won’t boot. Argh!

What An Individual Chooses To Do, They Are Responsible For
by Curt Howland

 

***Begin Quote***

Bad people can even kill some 3000 others in one action using only little knives and airplanes. And like the students and teachers at Virginia Tech, the passengers and crew on those airplanes were helpless in the face of a few little knives, because they were disarmed.

***End Quote***

think this catches the essence of the problem. A gun is the equalizer. By prohibiting them, the Gooferment is condemning you to death. If then the Gooferment can remove enough guns from the civil society, then they can start the death camps with impunity. What ARE you gonna do about it? With what — bare hands?

When they come thru my door to take away Fat Old White Guys, they may lose one or two thugs. If that happens a few times, then they may have a hard time recruiting thugs.

LIBERTY: Knock off Catholic schools

You Are Cordially Invited to a Guerilla War
by James Ostrowski

 

***Begin Quote***

The government school system is finally beginning to realize its original mission: to knock off Catholic schools. The nuns and brothers had fought the good fight for 150 years. Without reinforcements, Catholic schools, with one-half of all private school students, are in deep trouble.

***End Quote***

I am amazed that parents send their children to public school. Thirteen years later, they “graduate” and you won’t know them. Where do they pick up the drivel? Yup, gooferment skool.

Have a conversation with one of them and you won’t believe your ears.

Some can’t form a coherent sentence. Others have no idea of math, history, or science. And, politics? Don’t even go there.

It’s all very sad and doesn’t portend well for us as a nation, a society, or as people.

Public Wi-Fi may turn your life into an open notebook
Don’t assume wireless hot spots are secure.
‘Sniffers’ may be hacking nearby.
By David Colker, Times Staff Writer
April 22, 2007

***Begin Quote***

Cheung was using a “sniffer” program that intercepted online signals as they flew back and forth from the laptops to a wireless modem hidden somewhere amid the coffee paraphernalia.

***End Quote***

That’s why if I have to use a public wifi, I use GOTOMYPC to “go home” and surf from there. It encrypts everything between my home desk top and my notebook. If I’m on an internet cafe’s machine, I assume there is a key logger in place.

Coming Soon: $8 Fee To Enter Manhattan
Bloomberg Ready To Fight Albany For Congestion Fee

***Begin Quote***

(CBS) NEW YORK A controversial new plan is about to be implemented to improve the quality of life in New York City.

This weekend Mayor Michael Bloomberg is expected to introduce an $8.00 congestion fee for drivers who enter Manhattan below 86th Street.

***End Quote***

What nonsense.

There are no details, but one can be sure their will be a skew of new government jobs. Collection will be a nightmare. If they want to speed traffic, enforce the laws they have already. what stupidity.

Since all the cops, firemen, and bureaucrats drive in, and illegally park, does it apply to them?

P.S.: My Luddite friend insisted I blog about this. I thought it was just more “barbara streisand” and really not worth wasting electrons on. We’ll see.

WordPress and finding a host
April 21st, 2007
Bengt Wendel

***Begin Quote***

I currently run my blogs at WordPress.com which has its benefits (free and no need to worry about WordPress) but also limitations in things like themes and plugins (no java scripts allowed).

***End Quote***

I would like a kool name, javascript, and some ads to make millions from my loyal readers. (All 6 of them!)

Seriously, I currently redirect from http://www.reinkefaceslife.com and, while I could pay WordPressDotCom to “domain” me, I don’t see the value. Perhaps, I too need to bite the bullet and go host it elsewhere? But if I go thru the effort, then I need to see a big payday. Or at least some payoff. Sigh,

INTERESTING: Clerk buys “mistake” and wins!

N.C. Clerk Wins $200,000 by Mistake
Apr 20 11:01 AM US/Eastern

***Begin Quote***

CONOVER, N.C. (AP) – A store clerk’s slip-up at the cash register has paid off big time.

Wadburn Allen on Tuesday accidentally rang up two duplicate Powerball tickets for a customer in this western North Carolina town. At the end of the day, after she was unable to sell the second ticket, Allen paid for it herself.

The next day, Allen returned to the store and found the ticket matched all five numbers—earning her a $200,000 jackpot.

***End Quote***

REMEMBER, remember, back in March when there was the big powerball jackpot. And, I wasted the two bucks buying the clerk’s “mistake”, Here it is! I’m telling you, if I hadn’t bought that mistake Mister Murphy (of Murphy’s Law fame) would have smacked me upside the head. As it was, he decided no lesson was required. Argh!

Here’s my post. http://tinyurl.com/24o7w7 Score one for blogging!

How do you think that customer felt sharing the jackpot with the “mistaken” clerk?

LIBERTY: “illegals” will still pour through.

Immigration and Integrity
by L. Neil Smith

***Begin Quote***

You could station a sentinel along every mile, and “illegals” would still pour through. Add to that the Pacific coast, the border with Canada, and the imaginary line all these antis focus on, between Mexico and the United States, and eventually it will dawn on you that the only way to keep America secure is by (A) abolishing the welfare state, (B) enforcing the Second Amendment, and (C) running a strictly non-interventionist foreign policy. Every one of those measures is sensible and easy, but they’re career-enders for politicians and their hangers-on.

***End Quote***

I don’t see separating the Gooferment from Education and honest money.

Maybe it’s in there somewhere. I’m sure LNS would get to it soon after polishing off the other three! ;-(
