Spread the Word

I just finished reading this story. It’s about “Camp 22″, a modern day concentration camp in North Korea that makes Auschwitz look like a church bake sale. There isn’t much more I can say about it, just go read it, it’s complete with photos from Google Earth and testimonials of eye-witness accounts.
When you’re done reading [...]

A Little Less “Unelectable”

Just an FYI, yesterday the Minnesota Republicrat Party held it’s straw poll and Ron Paul came in third at 19%. He was beaten by Fred Thompson (write-in) at 21% and Mitt Romney at 20%.
Paul beat out McCain and Giuliani, long considered to be in the top three.
Man it would be nice if we could [...]

Missing the Whole Picture

Among the buzz today is a statement Bush made yesterday about Democracy in Japan and Germany after World War II. In an effort to bolster his argument that what he’s doing in Iraq is the right thing, he stated (accurately) that there were a lot of naysayers that didn’t believe that Japan and Germany could [...]

Excuse Me If I Don’t Believe You

Yesterday, Chairman Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and Mexican President Felipe Calderon met in Quebec to discuss the “Security and Prosperity Partnership.” There have been several such meetings over the course of Bush’s administration, but this one marked the first time when he was blatantly asked if it was a scheme to create a [...]

What I’ve been up to

I was warned not to make any plans on getting things done [...]

Dead Sea Saves Boy

From Arutz Sheva:
A massive manhunt and rescue operation ended in joy around midnight between Thursday and Friday, after a missing child was found alive, floating in the Dead Sea. The high salt and mineral content of the water, while extremely dangerous to ingest, kept the child afloat.
I found this really interesting having been to the [...]

Bridge Terrorism

The word ‘terrorism’ has been thrown around a little in regards to yesterday’s bridge collapse.
Let me just say if it was a terrorist attack, it was done by some pretty stupid terrorists. With one lane in each direction, it wasn’t a very good target. There would have been much better bridges to hit in the [...]

35W Collapse

About 75 minutes ago, the 35W bridge over the Mississippi river collapsed. Quite bizarre! I’ve driven across that bridge hundreds of times.
Hopefully the casualty rate is minimal, it was at the tail end of the rush hour, and was under construction so a lot of people would have been taking alternate routes.
So far I no [...]

No More Apple?

Wow, I thought Apple was supposed to be known for having simple to use products and top-notch technical support. I guess that’s all an act.
Back in January, I sprung for a new Mac Mini. I got the $800 model with the faster processor, bigger hard drive, and a few other goodies. I had been hoping [...]
