Priceless...

How to get your family banned from KMart.

Firewire who? USB 3.0

Want to see the government along with huge corporate entities screw American citizens? Doesn't get much worse than this.

Is crazy in the water?

Just...speechless at this.

I'm obviously not an Eagles fan, being born and raised in Pittsburgh and all; although, I did spend about 2 1/2 years there working. During that time, pre-Steeler Superbowl win, I got tons of trash talk thrown at me by the local Philadelphia co-workers. Of course during those 2 years the Steelers summarily thrashed Philadelphia both in the pre and regular seasons, which always turned the tables come the next day at the office. Anyhow, getting to the point-Donovan McNabb is soooooo played and this is why. He has been playing the race card for the last 5 years and I think everybody is sick of it, I know my former eastern-Pennsylvania colleagues are.

MSM buries another shocking story...

Apparently, no major news outfits felt that this was a top story-Howard J. Krongard, the State Department's inspector general, has repeatedly thwarted investigations and censored reports that might prove politically embarrassing to the Bush administration, the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform charged today in a 13-page letter.

Its even worse than the first paragraph lets on. I highly recommend this read, but shame on everyone but the Washington Post for not running this on the headlines today. This is exactly the kind of BS that Americans have grown tired of. I want my tax dollars back, I think we could all use a slice of the squandered $3 billion.

Can't get universal healthcare, but our government is more than happy to cut a no-questions-asked blank check to a ridiculously corrupt contractor with no oversight whatsoever.

In other news...Blackwater, the United States' largest private army has lost its license to operate in Iraq. Sounds good for the Iraqi people and American tax payers (who have been paying these guys' salaries) and bad for the politicians they have been protecting; also with virtually no oversight and a seemingly blank (American tax dollar) check. Looks like the Iraqi government is going to investigate everyone else as well in their most intelligent move yet. Read about it here.

Steeler season starts this weekend!

Interesting article on Fred Franzia, CEO of Bronco Wine. No, they do not make the Franzia boxed wine.

Awesome, little-known web-services.

Good blog on why Picard would be a better President than Bush, here.
