Has the One Laptop Per Child non-profit organization sold its noble cause (and consequently, its soul) to The Devil? The group announced that their XO laptops can now run a modified version of Windoze in addition to the standard Sugar GUI, which is based off Linux. For an additional $10 of course.
What I have to wonder is: will 256MB of RAM and a 1GB flash drive be enough to handle the additional resource requirements? And will they also have to put on Internet Exploder? God, I hope not; Windoze is bad enough.

Senator Obama sure has a thin skin. He can’t take people making fun of his ears, he’s too busy eating his waffle, and now he lashes out because President Bush falsely accused him of appeasement during a speech to the Israeli Knesset.
Imagine that.

“Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along.
“We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is—the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.”

And Obama’s response?

“It is sad that President Bush would use a speech to the Knesset on the 60th anniversary of Israel’s independence to launch a false political attack. George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the president’s extraordinary politicization of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally Israel.

BULL-S**T Senator Obama! You’re no friend of Israel. You’re also on record as being willing to meet with North Korea, Iran, and Cuba. On their turf! I’ll say that by the end of this campaign, you’re going to have so many new a**holes ripped (at a minimum, one for each of these skeletons in your closet) that you won’t be able to sit down for quite a long time.

Now that West Virginia’s primary is out of the way, with Barry getting his clock cleaned there, and Shrillary still in this, it’s time to look at the scoreboard. If the convention were held today, the junior Senator from the Народная Республика Ильиной has enough regular delegates and Superdelegates to clinch the nomination. But from what I understand, there are still over 240 undecided and unassigned Superdelegate out there. So it’ll be neck-and-neck right up to Denver.
Please pass the popcorn please.

Once again, the Associated (with Terrorists) Press reveals its propensity to protect Democrats from the scandalous stories which affect them. How, you ask?
By not revealing their party label. Here’s the latest scoop on Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick...who is a Democrat:

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit City Council has spent weeks debating what to do with scandal-plagued Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick: force his ouster or slap him on the wrist.
That talk could lead to action Tuesday when the nine-member group votes on three resolutions that may ultimately remove a defiant Kilpatrick from the office he’s held for six years.
Council members are to consider three possibilities: Remove Kilpatrick from office themselves, ask Gov. Jennifer Granholm to do it, or publicly censure the mayor.

There are actually TWO prominent politicians being protected here: Governor Granholm is also a Democrat. In this entire article, there is only one person who’s actually labeled correctly: Congressman John Conyers, and that’s because he’s a powerful Michigan Democratic Congressman. Guess that means all the other Donks don’t have s**t for power, much less s**t for brains, as long as they keep Kilpatrick in office.

Some a**hole from Ukraine kept hitting me up with spam trackbacks in a previous post. So for the time being, I turned off the trackbacks for that particular post. In addition, it left such a blatant trail, I banned its a** and if it tries again, I’m sending it to an undisclosed location.
What was that Basil Rathbone always said in his movies..."Watson, the game’s afoot!”

With the Democratic Party’s primary season winding down (well...sort of), and the MSM trumpeting Senator Obama as the presumptive nominee, talk is turning to who he will pick as his VP. One group, VoteBoth, is advocating the choice of...you guessed it!...Senator Clinton as the running mate. And of course, it’s tied to her campaign anyway.
Imagine that.
But it turns out Michelle Obama has something to say about that. Perhaps she has more than an enlightened self-interest at play here; she doesn’t want her husband to die under ”mysterious circumstances.” Take that as you will.

Here’s an interesting passage I found on another board, and the person uttering this phrase has become, shall we say, disillusioned with the United States:

I have been very close to breaking up with the United States. I have been having an affaire du coeur with Canada for years now. shhh, don’t tell America. I’m hoping America will get back into shape (I mean God, not to be shallow, but he’s grown quite the beer belly on a Republican diet), and maybe even start listening to me again. America and I haven’t been communicating well, you see. Canada is beautiful, and he understands me. But I’m willing to give America another chance, because I’m loyal like that.

And what a great choice of words there (which I’ve taken the liberty to emphasize), because America under a Democrat Diet will become emaciated. Hope you like being a Grit, eh.

Note to Self: Next time you go to a movie, make sure it isn’t the late show! That’s because I got back at 0130 hours this morning and I crashed afterward. The Official Roommate also went along, and I hope he didn’t stay up too late because he had laundry to do. But I digress.
If I were to describe Speed Racer in just three words, it would be these: Live Action Cartoon. Yep, the Wachowski Brothers strike again and literally interpret the original Japanimation series from the 1960’s. It isn’t a film where the producers lift everyone from the small screen and set them onto the “regular world” of the silver screen, it really is a cartoon which happens to use live actors and (what else but) the chop-chop-chop-chop sound FX whenever Speed engaged the Mach Five’s jump jacks. The race scenes moved just like the cartoon; in particular, the fight scene with Togokhan aboard the bad guy’s truck as it swerved all over the torad, prompted me to think “OK, when’s the Mammoth Truck gonna show up?” The Togokhan team logo, when the signature dragon was taken away, screamed Ferrari. And the closeup/background perspective also screamed cartoon from way back when. I could go on and on, but you get the idea.
This movie wasn’t without controversy; PETA complained about the use of the chimpanzees in the film (so what else is new?); and there was also that overblown story about one chimpanzees copping a feel of Christina Ricci on the set.
Speed Racer is rated PG for sequences of action, some violence and language. Great matinee movie occasion, and a relatively clean movie as far as today’s standards go.My rating: 7.5

Well, Saturday is as good a day as any…
The State of Israel is celebrating the Sixtieth Anniversary of its founding. That’s Diamond for those of you keeping track. Israel is a country which is unique in that it has fought for its existence from Day One (May 14,1948)..and hasn’t stopped either. And true peace-loving people from around the world see this as exactly that and support Israel and her People with all their heart. As do I.
One day I’d like to travel to Israel. I don’t know when that will be, but I have a friend there who will welcome me with open arms. So, to the Israeli People...Congratulations, Happy Birthday, and Shalom!

Anyone with any knowledge of British history knows that beef is part of their national staple; me, I love Shepherd’s Pie. But if you’re flying on British Airways, don’t expect any beef meals in economy class. This is because they’ve taken it off that specific menu to avoid offending traveling Hindus. Once again, British culture is falling to Politically Correct multiculturalism.
Here’s what the Hindu Council UK said about it:

“The Hindu community will welcome this decision and the news it has been made partly because Hindus don’t eat beef.
“Hindus have a great deal of respect for British culture and are well integrated into the British way of life, so it’s good to see evidence of how they are literally flying the British flag by choosing British Airways.
“That said, Hindus are tolerant of the beliefs of others and do not expect everyone to stop eating a food because they do not eat it.”

Much more tolerant than, say, the RoPMA™. Pretty soon, that group will ask British Airways to ban pork for the same reason. Don’t be surprised if that happens.
