Solidarity on 9/11?

2010-09-13T17:31:00.000-07:00

I don't see how anyone could expect solidarity. Those who hate our nation no longer feel shame denouncing us, and so no longer have to act as if "we are all Americans now," though many stopped feeling that need within a few weeks of 9/11. Within a year liberals (such as California Gubanatorial Candidate Jerry Brown's close friend Jodie) called for GI's to kill their officers. Troofers calling

I've never seen anything like it, in video or video games. My jaw dropped and several times I thought the F-22 would fall out of the sky. They were both low and at one point I thought the F-22 was going to flatspin and crash on HWY 58. I'm assuming

Sarah, over at Trying to Grok, posted a reaction to a Cold Fury post. Of course I had to lay my two cents in the comments. As always they are first draft, not thought out, and are a bit angry this time."America, love my vision of it or leave it, eh? Sorry, that isn't how democracy works..."Pericles, one other way in which democracy isn't supposed to work is when a minority forces their "vision"

Wired versus Wireless

2006-01-16T18:25:00.000-08:00

I finally ran cat 5 cable across the living room to my xbox, pulled the crappy wireless adapter and noticed that there was no difference. Well, no difference in individual matches, but... I did notice that overall performance was better. What I noticed was not better performance in any one match. What I noticed was that I cussed less, and lag compared to my party was better. See, often four of us

We have this ossifer who gets it. I'm not going to provide an example of this, but I've read one of his WITs in which this is demonstrated. Reminiscent of the great denBeste it was a clear announcement that he "got it" even though it was never meant for that.One of his previous WITs had this particular passage that I have been meaning to post for months now, but with the holiday season and all

I got this dishonest, underhanded election mailer some time ago. I got a new one today in the mail after getting back from the polling place in my lil' bitty town. The new one masquerades as new information on my local polling place. Like Boi From Troy, I noticed the Union bug on this one. I hadn't thought about the first one, just threw it away irritated at the low trick. This time I looked

Back in April I ruptured my achilles tendon and it had to be re-attached. I've been gimpy since then but getting better and better. Still can't run or jog, but my limp is almost gone. So this thing happened at work, on work property during working hours, but in the break room. The company's insurance carrier initially denied my claim, I'm told this is pretty standard and I'm betting Bucket knows

Educated, Unintelligent

My mother was a professional student, bachelors in something or other, masters in occupational safety and health, life cut far too short after that. When Jason says: "It's a telling tale of how the media can be led astray because they're too often only half-educated, and lack critical reasoning skills necessary to assess the validity of sources on medical and military stories." I'm reminded of
