The big "Catch-Up". Part 1
Here's a selection of quick hits that I've been meaning to post for a while. Presented quick and dirty just so I can get them out of my list of "Things to Post".
Just in case you're one of those "unsure" about the GWOT, I think you should take a look at this article. The most telling quote:
"If they want to have peace, they have to accept to be governed by Islam"
The U.S. Rhein-Main air base in Germany is now closed, but that's ok, because, ya know, it was just another prop to the German economy and according to the Germany powers that be, it had nothing to do with the Berlin Air Lift or the U.S. efforts to "bring down this wall".
I was talking to high school kid the other day, and he had NO CLUE what the Berlin Wall even was. Sad, really sad. Oh yeah, it gets better, he was wearing a Che t-shirt.
If you haven't seen it yet, go out and rent The Shining. A wonderful film about a boy and his search for a father figure, finding one in the form of a writer struggling to finish his latest work and their adventures finding one another. But hey, don't take my word for it
If you own a computer and don't know what the RIAA is, you really should. The RIAA likes to identify people who have peer-to-peer file sharing programs on their computer, then they hack said computers and spy on the users. When they've collected enough evidence (or sometimes not enough evidence) they then begin demanding thousands of dollars in royalty payments for music you didn't download from bands you've never even heard of. These guys are thugs of the highest order, but some people are starting to fight back.
I have to agree with a few of the commenters that the Lybeck-Murphy firm may not be the best to represent this case because they may not be up to the task (they certainly can be outspent by the RIAA), but maybe, just maybe if people know more about the RIAA and their thuggish tactics, they may be able to give this case legs enough to get to the Big Show.
And speaking of the Big Show, I'm happy to say I'm on the Pro-Miers bandwagon. I know alot of Republicans aren't happy because they want a good ole fashioned slug fest over philosophy and issues, but I just want to get a common sense, NON-JUDGE, NON-Ivy Leaguer, Conservative on the court who's opinions I can sit down and read easily without a legal dictionary at my side. I'm pretty sure Miers just might be that Justice.
While I'm not saying I support Miers fully, I am definately on the "pro" side of the debate. Of course all that could change when the hearings start, but for now, I'm going to continue absorbing hard and fast evidence about her and refrain from spouting off about how badly I too wanted to see a good ole slug-fest in the Senate.
Nice end-run George, you made everyone scramble on this one, and that's exactly how it should be.
That's it for now, more in a bit, maybe just more quick hits, maybe something more substantial. Seriously though, scroll back up and watch that Shining trailer, it's good.
