"An angry husband who came across a video of his wife having sex with her lover on the Internet called the police who arrested a man suspected of filming a string of people without their consent, police said Thursday."
Uh, oops on that fair-ay with an open indow-way.
Judith Miller – Turncoat Right Wing Propagandist
… which I've known for a while, but there haven't been any articles lately. In case you've forgotten she's the conservative mouthpiece who ran grossly irresponsible and unfounded stories about Iraqi WMDs, and threatened US soldiers if they didn't let her get her way once she was in country.
She's worse than Peggy Noonan.
Did I mention, she was reporting (front page stuff, mind) for that so-called liberal bastion The New York Times? No apology or explanation has been forthcoming from the NYT either.
What liberal media?
Fuckin whatever. These freaks need to just go away. The ultra rich are aliens, I'm telling ya.
Bush a No-Show at Base Says Memphian
This is a bombshell. Two guys in the unit that Bush was supposedly training with? Never saw him. Heard of him. Were looking for him. Never saw him.
Bush is so fucked.
Smear Campaign begins Against Kerry
It's all in the blog, didn't feel like repeating. Third paragraph.
Kerry's Support – Mile Wide, Inch Deep
This about sums up my reservations in re: John F Kerry. Behold, the power of the media annointment. Me? I'm shifting to Edwards. Let the ABK march continue!
Powell Scolds Hill Staffer At Hearing
Things are getting mighty testy up there on Capitol Hill, what with the Bush administration turning to dust. Everyone's getting snappy, even Powell.
Free-For-All Access To Wireless LANs
Now that's the way it was supposed to go. Free wireless access everywhere (I still think governments should create community access points) and let anyone who can use it, do so.
Here, it's businesses finding that WLANs are a competitive advantage. Combined with a lowering (should be plumetting, damn monopolies) cost of bandwidth, this will be a nice value add. And soon it will be expected and we can quit with this phone line mularkey.
VOIP + WLANs = death to the phone companies! (yes, even cellular, eventually). woohoo!
Roxio Meets Goals… And Then Lays Off Most of the People Who Made Achievement Possible
You have got to be kidding me.
"Today was a bittersweet day for me personally, and also, I suspect, for many more of you individually. The same day we reached the goal line of the extraordinary accomplishment that Godzilla represents, we also had to notify many of the members of the team responsible for this achievement that unfortunately we could no longer keep them employed at Roxio by the end of this week."
What kind of bullshit is this? I mean, it's the same shit that all largish/inept employers try to do to their employees (see the Wal-Mart article from yesterday), but to achieve your goal (which included financial milestones) and then still shitcan everyone?
I hope they set the building on fire when they leave.
U.S. Military May Run Out Of Money
All because Bush is too chickenshit to put any appropriations for the military into his budget (lest people start to pay more attention to the funny math), until next January.
This, from the "war on terrorism is #1" guy. What an asshat.
Northwestern escapes DOJ subpoena
Ashcroft tries to subpoena the medical records of all the women who have had D&E abortions at a couple hospitals. And is denied.
The Grrr is for Ashcroft, not the denial.
The Faux Life With Norah Jones
… another reason to dislike Norah Jones besides the fact that you could find 12 of her in any bar in NYC (and that nepotism played a big role in her initial push).
That and NPR loves her. Feh. So blah.
Microsoft Warns on Windows Security Flaws
Yeah, and it took them six months to fix it!
People, use open source products and you won't have these problems. Even if there is a security vulnerability, they are generally taken care of in hours, not months.
Litigants Take Bite Out of Apple
Five class actions. My battery sure is less than it was when it began. Why Apple continues to get a cult following for a good OS and decent form factor but shit QC and support is beyond me.
Clark Drops Out of Presidential Race
Well, fuck.
Farewell, General. May you run again and kick major buttocks.
