Congressmen Bill Thomas to Quit at the “top of his game”

Filed Under (Politics) by Jon on 06-03-2006

After writing on impeaching some pathetic democrats, I found a good republican to pick on. Congressmen Bill Thomas, chairman of the Ways and Means committee, announced today that he will not seek reelection.  He’s been in Congress since 1979, that’s 27 years, plus the 10 he served as a California Assembly member.  That’s 37 years of fat-catting around the country on his high horse. 

Here’s a good quote, fairly insightful to how lost our leaders are:

“On Monday, he said he was inspired to retire by the example of former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Sandy Koufax, who Thomas said retired at the top of his game.” SFGate.com

Ferrari Crash on PCH Delivers Twists

Crashed Ferrari PhotoContinued from “Million Dollar Ferrari Crash

This story keeps getting better, now investigators think that the Ferrari crash is linked to a European mob or may be even James Bond.  Sources now say the Ferrari Enzo ($1,000,000) was traveling at least 160 mph.  They thought it was racing, (I think a tricked out 1998 Mazda 6 with turbo and a patchwork paint job) but now they think the mob was after them.  More to come.

“It’s like a James Bond story,” said Sgt. Philip Brooks, of the Malibu/Lost Hills Station traffic detail. “But I just want to find out who was driving the Ferrari.”
Brooks is heading up the investigation to find out if Stefan Eriksson, of Bel Air, was at the wheel of the red Ferrari Enzo when it crashed into a pole off Pacific Coast Highway on Feb. 21 at an estimated 160 mph. The impact caused the car to split in half and nearly disintegrate, but Eriksson suffered relatively minor injuries. - L.A. NBC 4

Iran Cuts Off Bloggers

Iran imageIn a story I found at Joho, Iran has turned off blogs and social networking websites, which includes “65,000″ plus bloggers.

“Friends in Iran, journalists and technicians, are saying that judiciary officials have ordered all major ISP to filter all blogging services including PersianBlog, BlogSpot, Blogger, BlogSky, and even BlogRolling.”- Horder

This is proof to what Iran’s ruling party is about, holding down the people. I think the a number of nations are clearly being pressed my American technology and information found in the Internet. Other related stories, China and Google, Israel cuts of Palestine, China and Yahoo, and Scott said about Iran’s Nuclear program.

Google Tool Bar LogoMost people in the know, like to use Google Toolbar. Google, is again making cool free stuff. One on the new additions to the Google Toolbar 4.0 for IE 6 (which is a must-have for any webmaster because of the “Page Rank” feature), is the the ability to create custom buttons and links from your site. I have only found the information for Movable Type and if any one knows where to find simple code for Wordpress, I’d appreciate it.

Here’s how you can create a Google Toolbar Button for your Movable Type site.

Cute Fish - Freak O’ the Week

Filed Under (Freak O' the Week) by Jon on 27-02-2006

BlobfishAfter hours of reading the junk on Green Peace’s website, I found something I can agree with. This little fish is pretty cute. I don’t think we should kill or eat cute fish, especially if they live at the bottom of the ocean. I think we should only eat fish we can catch with a pole, like a trout or a carp. If we only eat the fish we catch, then there would never be a shortage of fish.

Civil Disobedience

Filed Under (Politics) by Jon on 27-02-2006

Civil DisobedienceIs Civil Disobedience a crime?  I would argue that when masses of citizens use non-violent actions of civil disobedience against government, it isn’t a crime.  Martin Luther King did this well and he changed the course of history.  However, when a few zealots enter military bases, they are breaking the law.

Here is an article trying to spin realty, saying that breaking the law is alright, and I think it’s just wrong. Green Peace broke the law.

“Is painting an anti-war message on the stern of a military supply vessel a crime?”

“all entered an RAF base at Fairford and attempted to immobilise B52 bombers”

” Marchwood Military Port and occupied tanks, locking themselves with chains and padlocks.”

Green Peace and Condoms

Green Peace CondomaWell, after my last post I decided that I would visit Green Peace to see what they where all about. Here what I found, a commercial about using Giant Condoms to clean up our air. I took a screen shot and even made a link to this dumb commercial.

Weakest Shelby Cobra Ever, The 1978 King Cobra

Filed Under (Society in General) by Jon on 26-02-2006

Since we have been slow to put anything on the website, I thought this Rock’n Shelby Cobra should be noted.

The King Cobra added garish spoilers, flares, air dams, and decals to the undesirable Mustang II hatchback. Power came from a pathetic 139 horsepower, 302-cid V8 engine drinking through a small 2-barrel carburetor. With just 500 King Cobras ever produced, they are extremely rare but are scorned by true Mustang enthusiasts. ESPN

Picasso, Dali, Matisse & Monet’s Works of Art Stolen!

Filed Under (Society in General) by Jon on 25-02-2006

Art thieves stole four of the worlds most famous painters’ work from the Chacara do Ceu Museum in Brazil. In what seams ironic, the men stole Pablo Picasso’s “The Dance”, during a festival, called the Carnical Commotion, running through the crowded carnival of dancing. Also stolen where Salvador Dali’s “The Two Balconies”, Henri Matisse’s “Luxembourg Gardens” and Claude Monet’s “Marine”.

“They took advantage of a carnival parade passing by the museum and disappeared into the crowd,” said museum director Vera de Alencar. - BBC
