Cindy Sheehan Empty Protest

Remember the news coverage of Cindy Sheehan, the woman who is so against the war after her son died volunteering? Well, seems that all is not always as it seems. Take a look at the link and see how a no show of protesters is orchestrated into a full slam bang turn out. Funny thing is that the turn out is all news media. I don't see any real protesters. The liberal media strikes again.

Can you pass the 8th Grade Math Test?

Found this link online, and boy was I surprised, I actually scored 10 out of 10. I stink at Math, but have no fear it is the basic stuff. I wonder how many 8th graders can actually pass this 8th grade test! Try it for fun!

Batman Hits DVD In October

The Rope of Silicon Web site reported that Batman Begins will hit DVD on Oct. 18. The hit film will be available in three formats: single-disc widescreen and full-screen editions and a two-disc deluxe set with eight documentaries, the site reported.

The documentaries will deal with Batman Begins' production, the batsuit, the Batmobile, the monorail chase, shooting in Iceland, fighting and the incarnations of Batman over the past 20 years. The deluxe set will also contain featurettes on characters and weapons, an interactive comic book, a stills gallery, trailers and a collectible 72-page comic, the site reported.

Fred on Slavery!

Fred wonders, what would you do today if faced with profiting of slavery? How about if moral injustices were happening, but you could easily turn your head and think things would be ok? Read the link above to see if you agree or not.

Brosnon OUT of BOND Role?

I said back on April 28, 2005, that Pierce Brosnon would play BOND one more time. Looks like he won't. For some reason he received a call saying they no longer needed him. Shame, I was looking forward to seeing him as Bond one more time.

BBS Documentary

In the 1980's there was a huge sharing of data, that happened before this thing called Internet. It was built on the backbones of private individuals, and depended on the phone lines of America. Called a BBS (Bulletin Board System) one could link up, transfer files and images, as well as play online games. Now you can listen to those most responsible for jumpstarting an Internet Industry before we even knew the term Internet. Check out the website, and for $50 one can purchase a copy of the documentary. The BBS software I used to use was called WWIV for the PC. Take a gander at all the types of software and hardware BBS systems back then.

Latest Weblinksnewsletter Blocked

Well the latest edition of my newsletter has been blocked by AOL. This includes AOL itself, netscape.net, and Walmart.com (Netconnect). Seems that the size of my newsletter is the trigger. It must be a new package that evaluates the size of the email, and decides if it is too big, or too much text, it must be Spam. What a shame that actual subscribers of a Newsletter has the content blocked, but I wager that they get hammered by Breast increase pills, Free Software, and Penis Enlargement gimmicks, by the truckload. I am considering what to do next, but perhaps I will pare down the newsletter, and release more frequently. Techies, lend me your ideas!

Bush Needs to be LOCKED UP?

"They all need to be locked up because they are all criminals and they are all thieves," said Judge Greg Mathis, the star of the syndicated television program "The Judge Mathis Show."

Just words of a crybaby loser, who never could accept the simple fact that 51% of the voters actually voted for the opposition. Not one legal case, NOT ONE, has ever been brought up in Florida or Ohio against the Bush Gore Election, or the last Bush Kerry election. Why? It is just this simple. There are NO cases to try. There was no voter fraud, there was no deception, there was no cheating. If anything, this broad proclamation of wrong doing was simply instituted by whiner loser Democrats that couldn't simply win an election on the up and up. They had to place this into the psyche of the American Left, and they will forever be led by shallow people who can not simply state their goals or plans, rather they attack the good Right. The Conservative Right will always win when it comes to simple ideas that make sense, and when Liberals try to redistribute wealth that we have worked very hard for.

Keep whining losers, that just locks in the next major election for the Right! Read this link above for laughs if nothing else!

Is It Wrong to Love Microsoft?

I really like this opinion. You hear many tech people bash Microsoft, and Microsoft does deserve some grief for certain bonehead ideas that place burdens on customers. However, this person loves Microsoft, and tells you why. Glad to see someone with the courage to speak in support of the most popular software company around. With 95% market coverage, regardless of why, they must be popular!

Schmidt Wins 2nd District Special Election!

Ohio Republican Jean Schmidt destroyed the Democratic challenger Paul Hackett to win Tuesday's Second Congressional District special election. She won by a margin of 52%. Earlier the Democrats hinted at a landslide by Hackett, which would indicate Democrats were on the upswing back to power.

So much for Liberal values winning votes!

The election was to replace Congressman Rob Portman who was appointed by President Bush as the US Trade Representative.

Congrats Jean!

Air America Stealing from Poor Kids?

Ok so where is the outrage? Where is the 24-7 coverage on CNN? Why do we only hear about this one on conservative websites? I will tell you, Liberal Democratic leaders are simply lying, coverup stooges. They insist on pointing fingers, but have a double standard. They won't look at scandals that involve themselves. Shame!

Michele Malkin asks "Will Air America's self-proclaimed champions of the poor and downtrodden--Franken? Garafolo? Springer?--touch this story with a ten-foot pole? Will Randi Rhodes trot out her gunshot sound effects to blame the messenger? Or will the gabbers continue maintaining their radio silence?"

Good Question!

Fred on Rocks and Little Girls

Fred has a cool Blog all about the destruction of Political Correctness, and a fine Blog it is. I just hope he is not too late to educate the masses. Seems little girls get arrested for throwing rocks at antagonists, not just arrested, but from a virtual SWAT Team of cowards.

James "Scotty" Doohan Dies

Recently James Doohan, at age 85, passed away in his Redmond, Washington home. Best known for his role as Scotty on the famed Star Trek TV Series, his wit and swashbuckling technical skills, kept Captain Kirk and his Crew from certain doom! I have a chance to meet James a few years back, at a local Computer Show. He was not even announced, so it was a surprise to see him sitting in the corner. The crowd was small, since no one knew he would be making an appearance. I went over to get an autograph and talk with him. I told him how great it was to see him on the Star Trek: Next Generation show, and that he did a great job as Scotty. He thanked me. I went on to ask if he really had a negative feeling for William Shatner. He seemed to want to blow into a tirade about "That son of a ..." when his publicist stepped in, and said they had some differences in the past, but look forward to working on joint projects. I hope Shatner and Doohan had a chance to reconcile. None-the-less I enjoyed his character as Scotty, and will now look back at the old shows with kind reverence for him and his family!

Fantastic Four Movie - Fantastic!

I saw the Fantastic Four Movie this week, and I now know why it is called Fantastic! The movie was a great story, excellent realistic effects, with intermixed comedy, and fun. It had my attention through the whole thing. Sometimes I roll my eyes at the science of these movies, but it was believable, and as realistic as a fantasy movie can be. I urge you to see it, and this one is sure to be one a strong DVD purchase when it is released to home video.

IBM OS/2 to be Discontinued

By Years End, IBM has decided to finally throw in the towel on OS/2 officially. Many will claim that IBM threw in the towel over 10 years ago. OS/2 was the once flagship competition to Microsoft Operating Systems. It had superior multi-tasking, which was called pre-emptive. This Blogger had the pleasure and displeasure of testing and using OS/2 years ago. It was not all that bad, but had many issues with poor hardware drivers support, and very few available applications. I have always felt that IBM could have gained market had they taken a page from the Linux community, and released the source code. But IBM was more interested in short term profit instead of long term money in support and licensing!
Goto the OS/2 BBS site for Some great OS/2 info.

Vacation Fun

Your Weblinksnewsletter.net updates have been a bit slow in coming these last few weeks. Mostly due to work and planned time off for Vacation. Yes, Weblinks faithful, even I take time off to smell the roses. Even more so, I like to smell the surf and the diesel engine smoke. To the Southern end of Delmarva to Assateague Island, in Virginia, what is known as Chincoteague. As far as the Diesel Engine Smoke, you can get a good dose from the Western Maryland Railroad. Both sites were very enjoyable, when I am not walking the Beach or the Rails, I am simply relaxing at home, eating out at local buffets, and sweating to the summer searing heat! Hope your Vacation is as much fun!

Attack on London

It seems to me that Americas War on Terror is succeeding! To many this may at first seem strange, however, lets really look at what happened in London. A small bomb was exploded in a double decker bus. No buildings fell, a relatively small amount of people died, even though 1 dead is a terrible count. The large mighty AlQaeda Terrorist forces are weak. They perpetrated something school children could have done with common household chemicals. Seems that if they risk a strike, they would do one worthy of the name Terrorist. Alas, they are shrinking in strength and resolve. Thanks to President Bush for taking the war to the enemy, or this bombing may have been even larger than a pipe bomb.

Congrats to the Londoners who have extreme determination, and who have faced truly ruthless attacks from above in World War 2. No doubt that this last attack is but a fly in the ointment of the London people. They have endured much more.

I especially like the words of Ken Livingstone, when he said...

"...however many of us you kill, will stop that flight to our city where freedom is strong and where people can live in harmony with one another."

Now that is determination, and a glowing view of what Freedom is really all about. Read the whole address at the link above, to the people of London.

US Supreme Socialist Court Rules in Favor of Property Seizure

The United States Supreme Court in a 5-4 vote, upheld the Connecticut case of condemning property so the State can take it from the rightful owners. It gets harder to believe day after day, but I am just not surprised anymore. When our personal rights to be protected by seizure of our own property, guaranteed by the 5th Amendment to the Founders version of the US Constitution, comes under fire, they may as well repeal it all together. The CIA factbook says that we are a nation that is Constitution-based federal republic with a strong democratic tradition. So much for that fact.

Here is Artitcle V which states:

Trial and Punishment, Compensation for Takings. Ratified 12/15/1791.

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

If we do not act now and throw these Liberal Judges from their entrenched benches, we will have an America that our founding fathers would not be able to recognize as the United States, in a few decades. We must revise our Constitution to some how limit the lifetime appointments that a Supreme Court Justice enjoys. Perhaps there should be some confirmation of continuing service which is overseen by the House of Representatives. Contact your rep to complain today or risk losing the rest of your God given rights.
