Going Mobile
October 18, 2008
Some of you know I am in the process of getting rid of my landline phone. When I was googling some new phone features I hit on a great little site, for software, themes, and reviews.
A doctor can save my life
A lawer can defend my life
A sodier can giv me a peaceful life
but only a friend like u can give me ur wife.
or this one:
Think BIG
Think SMART
Think POSITEVE
Think BEAUTIFUL
Think ONE
Think WISE
Think GREAT
Think ULTIMATE
If that is too much for u here is a shortcut…Just think of ME.
The biggest point that will bring me back though are the tutorials. Controlling Winamp with Bluetooth was just what I needed to read this morning. These tutes don’t require you to be a tech head either. In the end for those of us who mostly use our cell for getting the odd phone call rather than running our lives there was something to be gained here.
Though it doesn’t have as many recent updates there was much to look at as you dug into the meet of the site. For example it took a little digging but there were several interesting animated Nokia themes.

Who is stealing Obama signs in Winthrop?
Who is stealing the Obama signs in Winthrop?
In seven days, two Obama signs have been stolen from my front yard.
Every Obama sign in Winthrop on my route to work disappeared one night last week. No other signs were touched.
Who is so afraid of other people’s political opinion?

Palin questions McCain’s concession of Michigan - Yahoo! News
SAN ANTONIO - Sarah Palin questioned Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s decision to abandon efforts to win Michigan, a campaign move she only learned about Friday morning when she read it in the newspapers.
Excuse me if I don’t believe she actually read a newspaper, much multiples as the quote suggests. Oh she might have seen the headline on her way to the funny pages, but I doubt she read it. I wonder if she can read the writing on the walls that says John McCain knows he screwed up by picking Caribou Barbie as a running mate.
Palin acknowledged the GOP ticket’s lackluster poll ratings in the state, but said: “I want to get back to Michigan and I want to try.”
I wonder if beating a dead wolf or caribou work any better for her than beating a dead horse does for anyone else. If she wants to go back on a state that has been conceded more than a month before the election then she has yet to grasp the meaning of fruitless. Of course those cold seasons up in Alaska might mean their isn’t enough local fruit for the plain and simple hockey mom to know the difference between fruitless and sterile.
Fresh off an upbeat debate performance, Palin told a ballroom full of $1,000 donors in Dallas that McCain advisers warned her that Biden was “a skilled debater.”
Yes he was so skilled that she decided she didn’t have to play by the rules established for the debate beforehand. I mean come on the whole thing was dumbed down to fit her supposed skill level to start with then she starts of by saying she wouldn’t actually participate in the debate.

Early on, she made the astonishing announcement that she had no intentions of actually answering the queries put to her. “I may not answer the questions that either the moderator or you want to hear, but I’m going to talk straight to the American people and let them know my track record also,” she said.
All I can say is I am glad Canada isn’t that far away, if Caribou Barbie and Old Man Forgetful win.

Quotes of The Day
September 14, 2008
“The ideal woman to me would be the gun-toting moll. Someone who is true blue and ready to face the world.” - Anton LaVey.
You don’t suppose the head of the church of satan has a great big woody for Sarah Palin do you?
Before we go any further in linking with Sarah Palin or her deal with the devil. I am sure she had good intentions and such when she started paving the road to hell. Is that what she diverted the money from the bridge to no where from? Furthermore I really need to know what she or her speech writers are reading from for new ideas?
What we have to fight for is freedom and security, so that our people may fulfill the missions assigned to them by god. - Sarah Palin
What we have to fight for is the freedom and independence of the fatherland, so that our people may be enabled to fulfill the mission assigned to it by the creator. - Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)
This could just be a coincidence, but I have my doubts since the republican strategy for so long have run with one of the major tennants of this book. “
The great masses of the people will more easily fall victim
to a big lie than to a small one.”
Religious Penis Images
September 10, 2008
It doesn’t seem to matter what I do these days there is always some yahoos finding their way to my blog in search of a tag term. Yesterday’s big search term was for penis. Their is nothing wrong with this other than the fact it queers my bounce rate. I do however love it when people search for ‘penis and dick’ and through magic of Google logic end up on any number of posts I mention the vice president. Regardless of that both of these images caught my eye for Irony today and needed to be posted on such a slow news day.
This is the honest to Flying Spaghetti Monster image from Wikipedia.
I found this one through digg so if you like please follow the link to dig the original article.
A Nation of Whiners
July 20, 2008
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Former Republican Sen. Phil Gramm saidFriday that he is stepping down as co-chairman of Sen. John McCain’s
presidential campaign amid criticism for saying last week that “we have
sort of become a nation of whiners.”
I actually can’t say I disagree with Phil on this. In fact I might take it a step further and say we have become The Bitch and Moan Nation. I am however not going to say we are without cause. Our government has let us down for too long. No one really noticed or listened to the people it was crapping on the most for decades, because everything was pretty good for most people. These days most people are struggling a lot more than they ever thought they would have to.
We are for the first time in our history looking around, scratching our heads, and saying to anyone who will listen “WTF happened?” The devoutly middle class aren’t struggling to make two car payments and having to decide whether or not they can really afford a boat. The middle class are now trying to figure out how they pay their utilities, meet their mortgage and have to balance the food budget against having enough gas to get back and forth to work until the next pay check. People are angry. Some are whining. Some are screaming. We are angry and we have a right to be so. That said we also have a responsibility to change it for the better.
BTW: I am pretty sure electing John McCain will only make it worse not better.
News Round Up For 7/15/2008
July 15, 2008
In Today’s News Round Up
Canada to deport U.S. war deserter:
This is after the immigration court told the Federal Court they thought he had made a clear justifiable case to stay. To me this looks like a clear case of some one either kissing ass, or pressure put on Canada by the US.
UN pulls back staff from Darfur:
In Some Respects I can’t say i blame them. What the country needs is an occupying invasion force that won’t put up with any crap. However, the US Military can not be made available at this time do to the purely internal nature of the conflict, the lack of oil, wrong religion, or the fact they are black. Take your pick I am sure todays answer is one of the above.
Americans Twice As Likely To Have Tried Marijuana Than Dutch:
Have we ever stopped to think prohibitions don’t work. Perhaps no child left behind has left out the reasons about the reasons the Eighteenth Amendment didn’t work.
Bush Gives Israel The Go Ahead To Bomb Iran:
This is no big shock. Let’s encourage Israel, the biggest baddest army in the middle east start a war with Iran. Then as such a good friend of Israel we will feel compelled to go to their aid, even if they don’t need it. What a lovely way to sidestep the War Powers Act.
