Dreams
All my dreams last night were about running, playing soccer and basketball, and in general just having fun. This stupid ankle sucks so much…

Who is censoring who?
A real quick update to the Right-Thinking thing, apparently some of Michael Moore’sthe Hutt’s fans didn’t like reading the truth on MooreWatch. So, they launched a DoS attack on the server hosting it, which includes Right-Thinking. They are back up, but they need to get a better server company. 
It’s interesting how those who claim that Moore is being censored are the ones that are trying to shut down sites they don’t agree with.
Right-Thinking?
Can anyone get to Right-Thinking from the Left Coast? I’ve tried from four different networks (dialup, R00kie’s wireless, my neighbors’ wireless, and work) and get either a timed-out error, or a cannot find server error. Let me know if you can.
Pistons vs. Pacers
Now, anyone how knows me knows that I like playing and watching basketball. I have been a die-hard Pacers fan since I knew there was pro basketball, but this series is making me pay a little more attention to the Pistons. Why?
Rachel Nichols is hot. Period.
Turns out she’s even a good sportswriter (used to work for Washington Post). Likes (and knows) sports + good writer + hot redhead = wrong person to update us on the Pistons. Why do the Pacers get some old guy I can’t even remember? Grrrrr.
Free speech
Another anti-war diatribe was greeted by academic applause and students disgust:
E.L. Doctorow, one of the most celebrated writers in America, was nearly booed off the stage at Hofstra University Sunday when he gave a commencement address lambasting President George W. Bush and effectively calling him a liar.Booing that came mainly from the crowd in the stands became so intense that Doctorow stopped speaking at one point, showing no emotion as he stood silently and listened to the jeers. Hofstra President Stuart Rabinowitz intervened, and called on the audience to allow him to finish. He did, although some booing persisted.
The only people who thought the speech was appropriate was some of the academic faculty at Hofstra. I’m surprised the reaction wasn’t worse, seeing as the graduates had to sit through all their anti-war lectures instead of getting the teaching that they paid thousands of dollars for.
Teachers draw wrong conclusion, again
A pair of teachers in the San Diego school system were removed after they showed/played video and audio from the Berg murder:
The two teachers, one from Grossmont High School and one from El Capitan High School, are on administrative leave for allegedly allowing students to see graphic images of the decapitation.Off-camera, a student at Grossmont High told NBC 7/39 that his social-sciences teacher played an audiotape of Berg screaming, and then the teacher allegedly showed two still pictures of video—of images of Berg immediately before and after the decaptitation.
Now, I’ve seen the video three times, but there’s no way I would have been able to see it in high school without ending up more crazy than I already am. In addition, one of the leftist asshats of a teacher said “That’s why we shouldn’t be at war.” Excuse me numbnuts? If we weren’t at war, those people would be working on performing their little song and dance routine right here. The accurate thing to say would be is “This is what’s going to happen to all of us who do not worship the way they do.”
Yeah, it’s just about the worship. They even hate other Muslim sects, and have been beheading them with far more frequency. This is a war, and far too many of our own population think they are too good to be involved in it. Maybe when the religious police are locking them in a burning building for not dressing right, they’ll figure it out.
Wahabism Delenda Est.

They were practicing for Peter Jennings
Apparently, now the news organizations will not only go out and run fake stories about the prison abuse in lieu of the beheading story, they’re using their own people to do it:
U.S. forces beat three Iraqis working for Reuters and subjected them to sexual and religious taunts and humiliation during their detention last January in a military camp near Falluja, the three said Tuesday.
Of course, if it was true, it was probably my legions of insane pirate ninja monkeys practicing for when we get Peter Jennings and Dan Rather et al. in our clutches…
EU starts work now, will be finished in 2100
Trying to keep up, the wEUnies across the pond are desperately trying to get quantum cryptography up and running so that our Echelon project doesn’t eat them alive:
If successful, the project will produce the cryptographer’s holy grail—absolutely unbreakable code—and thwart the eavesdropping efforts of espionage systems such as Echelon, which intercepts electronic messages on behalf of the intelligence services of the U.S., Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
Fortunately for us, if they are as good as that as they are at doing space travel, they’ll be at the same spot as us in 20 years. My prediction is that we get the quantum cryptography first, and end up releasing into the public domain long before their committees determine whether to use French or English terms.
WMDs
Well, I guess we found some of those WMDs that people said didn’t exist:
U.S. soldiers found a roadside bomb containing sarin nerve agent in Baghdad, the military said Monday. The device, which partially detonated, was apparently a leftover from Saddam Hussein’s arsenals.
Of course, the fucks who were supposed make sure that it was ALL destroyed don’t think it’s part of what we went in there for:
Blix, the former U.N. weapons inspector, said in Sweden Monday that before the war, his team found 16 empty warheads that were marked for use with sarin.He said it was likely the sarin gas used could have been from a leftover shell found in a chemical dump.
“It doesn’t sound absurd at all. There can be debris from the past and that’s a very different thing from have stocks and supplies,” he said.
Photoshop
Playing with Photoshop all night, here’s what I’ve got. Maybe one day I’ll be good, but probably not.
