Iverson’s finest hour

Monday, August 30th, 2004

ESPN.com - OLY/SUMMER04/BASKETBALL - Wojnarowski: Iverson’s finest hour is a great article about the US men’s team winning the Bronze. It’s interesting to see someone who has such a bad reputation, has made many mistakes, and now suddenly starts to mature into a valuable member of society. Let’s hope Allen Iverson continues on [...]

Thomas Sowell: Vets vs. Kerry on Vietnam

Thursday, August 26th, 2004

I have noticed that both Thomas Sowell in ‘Vets vs. Kerry on Vietnam’ and Ann Coulter are both pointing out something that a lot of people missed initially on Kerry’s claims about being in Cambodia:
One discrepancy that does not require much research arises from John Kerry’s statement that he was in Cambodia at Christmas time [...]

Rich Lowry on Max Cleland on National Review Online

Thursday, August 26th, 2004

Holy cow! Rich Lowry on Max Cleland on National Review Online totally exposes something that a lot of folks missed and that is that Bush appointed Cleland to the Import-Export Bank. So Cleland makes $136,00 a year off of a job that was given to him by the President and he turns around [...]

Max Clelend is an Idiot

Wednesday, August 25th, 2004

I have always said that former Senator Max Cleland is a total nutt case and based on his remarks and attempt to enter the Bush Ranch, he has only continued to prove my point. Luckily, he didn’t end up winning re-election in Georgia or I would have had to follow up with my threat [...]

BellSouth Filtering Port 25

Wednesday, August 18th, 2004

Bellsouth.net is now filtering port 25 requests coming from its own customers. Our account was switched over to filtering in the last two or three days. What is extraordinary about this is BellSouth’s claim that this is really going to help stop spamming:
In an effort to help protect customers against unwanted junk e-mail [...]

Conservative Country Stars Encourage Voting

Wednesday, August 18th, 2004

It’s about time! And actually, they aren’t doing exactly what I would have wanted. But some conservative country stars are encouraging voting. While several are actively campaigning for Bush, their vote push is about going to vote. However, I did find comfort in this one quote from Ricky Skaggs that sounds [...]

The Python Paradox

Friday, August 13th, 2004

The Python Paradox is a small article by Paul Graham. For those of you who don’t know much about him, it’s probably easiest to say that he is one of the most influential figures in today’s programming sub-culture for his outspoken and often-read articles and books on programming. Of interest in this particular [...]

Kerry Cambodia Visit Scrutinized

Thursday, August 12th, 2004

I find it almost amusing how furious the Democrats are regarding someone questioning Kerry’s service in Vietnam. I don’t suspect there has ever been another presidential campaign so based on 4-months of someone’s life (and something that happened in 1968 / 1969). If they are going to try to base Kerry’s appeal on [...]

Kerry shows his true class warfare colors

Thursday, August 12th, 2004

John Kerry is certainly showing his true class warfare colors. In this FoxNews.com article he makes it clear that what his views are on taxes and income classes of people. The background info:
The flap was prompted by an exchange between Bush and a supporter who asked during a town-hall meeting in Niceville, Fla., [...]

Jasc Software - Beta Program

Wednesday, August 11th, 2004

Paint Shop Pro 9 and Studio (a new simpler version) are in Beta now. I also noticed that because I am a previous owner I can buy the upgrade for $49 for the boxed edition ($45 for just a download). Assuming that the boxed edition actually has a book of some kind, I [...]
