Poor 'Baby Grace' (Riley)

This is my rant for today....

Every once in a while you'll see a story in the news that makes you physically ill. Myself, I usually just wish horrible pain on the people who perpetrate such things on others. Any thing that is done to hurt a child should be dealt with in medieval ways, IMO. If you abuse children in anyway, you should die a slow, horribly painful death. So to the "parents" of that little girl in Texas, F*** U, die slow! Our justice system is so screwed up though, they'll get a trial, maybe counseling, maybe some jail time in the end. But they still might some day walk the streets again, which is unconscionable. I'm not for anarchy or mob rule, but sometimes that would be more just. Drag 'em through the streets bleeding and beaten along the way by the good citizens of this nation. Stone them to death, I don't care. Either way, on this earth they'll never get what they deserve. I'd like to believe there is a special place in hell for people like that. RIP little one.

It's been a long time

Unfortunately it's been way too long since I've posted up here. I am still trying to situate after a huge relocation. I promise I will soon do much better since this blog is about to become a bigger priority. Coming soon you should see some HTML, SQL, SQR, and Oracle Forms tutorials for the software side, and since there's always politics to talk about some more commentary on that. These posts should start in the next couple days, so stay tuned.....

Britney Freakin' Spears

So far not much traffic here, but I thought I would give you all some breaking news. Well news flash, Britney Spears is naked--- see it here


Sorry, I don't have those pictures, or any others. So what's the breaking news, you ask? Well guess what Britney did today. Did she run over someone, or get divorced, lose her kids, take dope?
How in the hell should I know? Seriously people, get a life! There will be no Britney news here, EVER!

Pakistan in deep trouble

Well it looks like the American War on Terror is on the verge of having a major setback. This article gives a basic breakdown of the situation. As everyone knows, Pakistan is a major source of Islamic extremism. Not only do they have their own problems with the folks in Kashmir and elsewhere, but when the U.S. invaded Afganistan, many of those extremists (including Usama Bin Laden) migrated to the Pakistani side of the shared border. Now Musharraf thinks that cracking down on the nation is going to help curb extremism. I seriously doubt attempting to crack down on a bunch of lawless extremists is going to actually check those extremists. In reality it's tantamount to disturbing a hornet's nest. The only way Musharraf wins against the extremists is to crack down in the worst way, which is to pull all the troops into a genocidal massacre mode, which of course will turn the world and probably the rest of his own people against him. Well I don't know how he held on this long, but if he doesn't die in a bloody coup someday I would be surprised.

Blogging from the top of the world

See my previous post for a brief explanation of the situation, but here I am posting another brief note letting anyone else know what's going on. I am almost literally at the top of the world in the subarctic city of Fairbanks Alaska. So amongst my other rants you can expect to see a few about the weather here. Right now its about 0 degrees F and falling and it's still only fall. So for those who don't know, it's going to get much colder and much darker soon, possibly down to 50 or 60 below. I almost can't wait to rant about it, but it's still "warm" for now so I'll hold off. Anyways, this is just a short update. I'm set up here now, so hopefully I'll post a bit more often and put some more interesting stuff up here.

Busy, Busy

Well this is not quite how I planned for this blog to go, but I will be running all over the place the next couple weeks, so I won't be updating often. I was just starting to get this thing off and running, so for any of you who might run across this, check back in a couple weeks.

Votevets.org

I simply had to react about an ad I just saw on Fox News which surprised me. Firstly, everyone knows Fox News is biased towards Conservatives. This is why I watch it mostly anyways, until it starts to annoy me with its alarmist and dumbed-down style. But I digress.... Votevets.org ran an ad on FoxNews that had an Iraq veteran(or supposed vet, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt) that is trying to capitalize on the Rush Limbaugh story.

If you haven't seen it, Rush Limbaugh supposedly called some people in the military phony soldiers and Mediamatters.org picked up on it and took it out of context. In actuality, he was talking about a blogger who made up stories of our soldiers committing atrocities in Iraq. This phony soldier was indeed in the military, but never served in Iraq. At least that is how the story goes. So in essence he was a fake, and there have been other phony stories as well. If you have read any of my posts within the last couple weeks you would know I believe in intelligent debate and that includes members of our military too. They should be the first to be allowed to speak out about a war in which they will have to put their lives on the line. The problem is this -- if you lie about events that didn't happen or even try to take someone's words and twist them to your benefit, you are dishonest and phony. So with that in mind, the blogger who made up stories to get hits on his blog, mediamatters.org, and now votevets.org should all get the Phony Soldier Award because the lies and half-truths are simply dishonorable.
