Weekend Links

Friday, July 20th, 2007

Bill O’Reilly compares DailyKOS to Nazis and the KKK because of the hate they spew.

Michelle Malkin provides links and discusses what seems to be false accounts of atrocities unchecked by the MSM.

This is why I don’t run with every talking point that hits the blogosphere.

Is this the true nature of the eco-friendly people?

There is some controversy in Germany about Tom Cruise playing a hero from WWII who plotted and attempted to assassinate Hitler, Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg.  The wikipedia article is an interesting read.

I can has cheezburger.com is a really funny site, to me anyways.

And, here is a picture of scaaaary gun for all you  hoplophobe liberals.

What I Have Been Up To

Friday, October 13th, 2006

First, my wife is pregnant, she is about 6 weeks a long and is doing great.  She has to take special medication so I am busy putting stuff up for sale on ebay to pay for it.

Next, I completed this a while ago, and I even bought one myself.  The Ivorydome t-shirts are for sale here.  The black one is $22.45 + shipping and handling.  I now that is expensive, so I made a white one, it is only $16.45 + shipping.  The shipping isn’t much and it gets to you pretty quick.  These shirts will be good for the next time the local liberals want to have a party commemorating the death of our armed forces.

 A couple of weekends ago I volunteered to help operate the computer system for data entry for the Susan G Komen foundation’s Race for the Cure.  My employer volunteered last year and the system they designed for themselves to enter data was garbage.  This year I wrote a web interface and MySQL database backend to manage the data.  Things went 1000% smoother than last year and of course the race was a huge success.  There were over 3700 registered participants, more than 1000 more from the previous year.

Last, consider this an open thread for the weekend.  Feel free to discuss the upcoming election or whatever else.  Happy Friday the 13th!

Update:  I decided to put some more politics into this post.

Concerning the upcoming election:  I am not worried about it.  If the democrats win the majority that’s fine with me.  They will be the ones on the pedestal and all of their promises will have to be put into action instead of being talked about.  Democrats think they can do better than republicans, well if they get the majority they will be put to the test.  I can’t wait to see what happens.

Also, something I read over at Right Wing News got me thinking, if, and possibly when, Republicans lose control of congress, who are they going to blame? Personally I would blame republicans for losing control.  The GOP won’t be like democrats and blame non-existent voter fraud and label people who didn’t vote for them imbeciles.  The GOP won’t pass the buck like the Democrats have.  I think they will own up to their shortcomings and, in the event of a loss, will hopefully reform itself come 2008 and 2010.

Lastly, I find it sickening that people being angry at the GOP are giving up on them and voting Democrat.  Those people are quitters.  I find it troublesome that people would vote for the party that embraces Michael Moore’s or Cindy Sheehan’s ideology.  I don’t deny the GOP sorely needs to get back to it’s roots and I think the people’s anger at the GOP is legitimate, but I think they should be working to reform the Republican party instead of abandoning it.

My entry:  “Hillary Clinton greets the prducers of Sam Raimi’s upcoming film Evil Dead 3.  The Senator is vying for the “queen of the undead role”.  She is favored for the position because of the cost savings in makeup as well as fitting into the character’s role without much effort. ”
