Quick bits

Okay, Ukraine. Freedom is good. But what's that whole poisoning thing all about? And, seriously, the guys going "looks like Ohio" really lack any sense of proportion.


MoveOn.org. Howard Dean. Can we get that lucky?


Who knew that traffic on the Baltimore Beltway was worse than DC's?


Virginia's Mark Warner. Seems like a better bet for a Democrat future. Democrat governor of a Red State, a former venture capitalist. Hell, I'd vote for him for sticking DC with that baseball deal, and not Virginia. If his wife starts going by Mrs. Warner in 2005, its a done deal he's running.


Bush admin expresses confidence in Annan? And keeps Mineta on? They told us if we voted for Goldwater there would be 500,000 troops in Vietnam.


Rumsfeld. Armor. Please. We fought all of Gulf War I without armored HMMWV's. Armor is good, we keep adding it. But it's like Homeland Security, we can't just defend our way out of this. We need to defeat the "insurgents." Then you can ride in a taxi and things will be okay.


Reading Automobile magazine I see that Texas is putting Wi-Fi in all of its rest areas on the interstates.


I also saw that Cadillac is putting a baser engine in the CTS to make it cheaper. A little mill that's 210 hp (IIRC) to put it in the same price range as the Hemi 300C with 340 hp. I'm thinking that's not a winning move. (blaster is a car guy.)


Since I am already treading on Instapundits turf with the free Wi-Fi revolution report, a bit on comfy chairs. Tonight, in the mall, comfy chairs in the middle of the hall. Shiatsu massage chairs - insert quarters. Seems like a good idea.


Steroids. People still watch baseball?


Signed up for class next term - I'll be 25% done with my Master's in April!


Why do people call O'Reilly conservative? Because he's on Fox? I use to like him, but he's so full of himself I can't even watch.


Scott Peterson. Seriously, why are we talking about this? Don't waste the time on trying to go for death. Put him jail. I suspect that something bad will happen to him.


Heard on NPR some guy saying that the Shi'ites in Iraq will dominate the elections because they are the majority (duh) and that they will then try to ally themselves with Iran. The guy was supposed to be some smart guy, too, I forget who he was. Still, don't believe that crap. The Shi'ites of Iraq don't want to live under mullahs like they do in Iran. If they did, the Iranians wouldn't be trying so hard to influence the elections. And, oh, by the way, Washington Post, thanks for noticing that Iran is a bad guy!


That's all I got.

Sono Canadien!

Back in the days, in Italy, the folks I hung out with were great admirers of the grape. We loved Italian wine and the fact we could get it so cheaply. We were young, drunk, loud, American soldiers in a foreign land. We were quintessentially ugly Americans, without the white socks and sandals.


We had a saying that was a joke when we knew we were getting a bit rowdy, and started drawing stares: "Mi dispiace, no parle Italiano, sono Canadien!" Which is a mistranslation of "I'm sorry, I don't speak Italian, I'm Canadian." The point wasn't that we were ashamed to be American, we were ashamed of ourselves, and wanted people to blame our behavior on Canada, not the US.


So I find this very funny....

Awkward

Feeling a bit guilty for everytime that I heard Pantera and thought "those guys should be shot."

Blaster way ahead of Instapundit and Vodkapundit!

I had this Death Cold way before those two! Of course, look at Reynolds' front page, and note that this represents "lighter than usual" blogging.


How does he do it?
