Obama wants to Bankrupt Coal Industry

Amazing that a Presidential candidate wants to see an Industry go under! Obama claims he will bankrupt the Coal industry by making it too costly to build new coal plants. Americans work at these plants, Americans Obama claims to represent. He has his own agenda.

Why Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 Hasn't Measured Up To 10.4.

Great article from Macworld about how Mac OS X 10.4 had some nice features, and they went away in 10.5 Leopard. Even Microsoft knows that if you add features, the old ones need to remain.

American Hero - John McCain!

Now here is a picture worth posting! An American Hero. A man who dared to hang in with his team, take real abuses, not like rock music in Gitmo. An American Hero worth voting for! A man who endured torture, and understands our enemies, and understands we want reputable leaders! Make his pain worth it all, vote McCain. At least check out his website, it just makes sense!

What about Sarah Palin?

"I'm a Democrat, but I've worked as a consultant with the McCain campaign since shortly after Palin's nomination. Last week, there was the thought that as a former editor-in-chief of Ms. magazine as well as a feminist activist in my pre-journalism days, I might be helpful in contributing to a speech that Palin had long wanted to give on women's rights. What is often called her 'confidence' is actually a rarity in national politics: I saw a woman who knows exactly who she is." --Elaine Lafferty

Joe Biden Afraid of Questions!

Joe Biden was so angered by riveting hardball questions that Jill Biden interview has been cancelled. I ask, what if Biden is in intensive negotiations with an unfriendly force or country, what then, will he be angry? Will he roll his eyes, or storm out of the talks crying? He can't answer hard questions because he doesn't want you to know the answers. It is about time that media does it's job, and WFTV should be proud! See the video.

See the same interviewer also throw McCain hardball questions!

Who Supports McCain?

I'm sure you didn't hear of the over 100 endorsements for McCain from Military Commanders - since the media doesn't share that information - so here's a list for you

McCain gets support from four former secretaries of state (Even tho former Secretary of State Colin Powell tossed is hat towards Obama).

Henry Kissinger, retired Gen. Alexander Haig, Lawrence Eagleburger and George Shultz all said they would support McCain. The former heads of the State Department said the senator's leadership skills, his record and his vision make him the right choice for president in difficult times.

"The world's challenges are radically changing and our country needs John McCain's experience and optimism, said Kissinger, who served as secretary of state from 1973 to 1977 and won a Nobel Prize for his efforts to end the Vietnam War.

"His record, character, and belief that America's best days lie ahead make John McCain the right leader for these times, added Kissinger.

Hawaii ENDS Universal Health Care

As reported by API, Hawaii has ended the Universal Health Care experiment, 7 months after initiating it. Basically it was too costly, and everyone scrambled to use it, even those who could afford health care. Gee whiz, free stuff, and they didn't expect everyone in the state to share in it. This is proof that Universal Health care will not work, and can not be sustained.

Which One Has Obama refused to meet with?

Good Point!

Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae SCAM fortold in 2004 by Republicans

In 2004, Republicans held an oversight hearing on Freddie Mae and Fannie Mac. They warned us about this crisis back then, but Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, and other Democrats charged racism. Franklin Raines, the disgraced thief Democrat CEO of Fannie Mae, insisted the loans were "riskless."

Washington Post says fraud was happening back in 2005.

Listen to the bonuses execs got from Fannie Mae, and then even President Clinton acknowledged there were problems. Watch and listen to Democrats paint this as a race issue, versus a financial issue!

AIG Bailout? Do it this way!

This is interesting, received in email, the person may just have a point here.

AIG......why not do it this way?????


I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to in a We Deserve It Dividend.

To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide Citizens 18+.

Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..

So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals $425,000.00.

My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.

Of course, it would NOT be tax free.

So let's assume a tax rate of 30%.

Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.

That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.

But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.

A husband and wife has $595,000.00.What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?

Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.

Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads.

Put away money for college - it'll be there.

Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.

Buy a new car - create jobs!

Invest in the market - capital drives growth.

Pay for your parent's medical insurance - health care improve.

Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean - or else

Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other
company that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.

If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it...instead of trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( "vote buy" ) economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our candidates for President.

If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!

As for AIG - liquidate it.

Sell off its parts.

Let American General go back to being American General.

Sell off the real estate.

Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.

Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't.

Sure it's a crazy idea that can "never work."

But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!

How do you spell Economic Boom?

I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in .

And remember, The Family plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

Robert X. Cringely explains why I get passed up for Management jobs!

I am a big fan of Robert's columns. This one explains why people like us get overlooked for management positions. I am finally beginning to understand. Take a gander at Door Number Three.

There’s a point to all these firing stories and they actually do relate to IT. I’m typical of a lot of IT types. You know us. We are useful but sometimes a pain in the ass. We have opinions and speak our minds and don’t suffer fools at all. We stand up to authority from time to time. Sometimes we’re wrong. We get fired a lot and hired a lot, too, because we are generally useful, though dangerous.

Iraqi Leader says Obama Tried to Stall Pullout Plan!

According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July.

"He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington," Zebari said in an interview.

Barry Obama would rather risk more lives lost, and delay the scheduled pullout, to win an election, rather than do what's right. Hmmm, sad!

Linpus OS & Awesome Small Acer Laptop - Aspire One!

A friend of mine introduced me to this gem. She is considering it for her son, and I must admit, it looks nice. It is very small, easy to carry, has all the features of a normal laptop, and has Linux loaded on it, with a unique simple interface. The images at the site offer a look. I was so intrigued, I decided to go grab the free operating System it uses. The laptop has the new Intel Atom processor, and option for a memory based hard drive, no moving parts. Best thing is the low price!



See my intro to Linpus here on YouTube! This is the freeware version, not actually the Acer bundled version.

Maryland Prince George's County Police OUT OF CONTROL

Thats right, the Prince George's County Police wrongfully invaded the home of the local Berwyn Heights Mayor, and kills his 2 dogs. This kind of home invasion is totally uncalled for, unconstitutional, and illegal. These jack booted thugs should be fired! There is enough crime on the streets that there is absolutely no need for police to invade private residences. Not to mention that of elected officials. Someone could have been killed. The Mayor's security police force may have even responded to a shoot out. I hope the Mayor is doing well, and I wish my best to his family. Now Mayor, take action to put a halt to this nonsense!
