Lost in OK

Funny Quote of the Day:

There is a bill making it’s way through the Oklahoma Legislature which would require computer technicians to report any child pornography they find or face a fine up to $500. However, Rep. Jim Wilson (D - Tahlequah) has his concerns whether these technicians could recognize child pornography.

“This are nerds, folks – these people can’t even deal with sexuality. This is a bad, bad bill – we need to put this out of it’s misery.”

Well, my heartfelt apologize to the 2 fans out there. For the first time I missed a day of posting. All I can say is that it was for a very good reason. I, at long last, have a new computer that hopefully won’t suffer from a hardware failure four or five times a day. Additionally, while I get everything set up, the webcam will be offline. Trust me all will return to normal soon.

My friend Steven Anderson wrote this short, but concise response to this idiotic article. I thought you might enjoy it:

As an American I am tired of here all this anti American press about the war. I was against the war and I am still against it but it looks to me as if some of those people over there are happy we are there. Maybe I am just being brainwashed by the images I see on TV of Iraqi’s kissing the hands of American & British soilders, tearing down pictures and statues of Saddam while looting old Republic Guard stations, and beating uniformed soilder they beleive to be Fedienni (sp?) but I’m thinking we have had enough bad press about this war

Here’s a hell of a great quote from Brigadier-General John Kelley as reported in the Sydney Morning Herald:

“They stand, they fight, sometimes they run when we engage them, but often they run into our machine guns and we shoot them down like the morons they are.”

As you may have already noticed, my blogging has had to be severely curtailed due to a major project at work. As such, I will only be able to give a maximum of two updates a day. However, this may be good for all those who have sent hate mail complaining of my short snide comments. From here on out, it’ll be long snide comments, I promise.

Well, I am really sick and tiered of war news. My father suggested that maybe we ought to go back to the MovieTone News system for war wherein it has to be at least one week before any war footage will be shown in the U.S. I think I’m on board for this system. This is not to say that I’m not excited to hear the news of the progress of the war. We continue to smash their “elite” Republican Guard at every turn and to split the city in two. However, the constant bombardment of ignorant, incomplete and idiotic coverage has gotten my blood pressure up to something like 200 PSI. I encourage the various news organizations to take the following piece of advice: To paraphrase Tom Lehrer, “If you don’t have anything to say, the least you can do is to shut up.”

Friendly Radical Wacko Information Alert:

Don’t forget to set your clocks forward one hour tonight.

Well, after taking some lessons from my friend Steve Griffin’s excellent website Delegate Technologies, I’ve redesigned the site so that it will re-size to the browser window. Let me know what you think.

An excellent letter from the Wall Street Journal (4/2/2003):

A Consumer’s Right to Cheaper Goods

If Mr. Jenkins does indeed reveal “an indifference to consumer welfare,” as Messrs. Simons and Kovacic claim, it is a perfectly valid point of view, as cold and unfeeling as it may sound. A democratic government has no business giving preference to one group of citizens (consumers) over another (business owners), and to use the coercive power of the state to benefit the former by restricting the property rights of the latter is morally reprehensible. (The idea that government action must be justified morally may seem quaint to Messrs. Simons and Kovacic, but nonetheless it is true.)
