Apple is at it again: thinks its the only show in town. Thirty years of fraudulent proprietary technology while the rest of the universe clones, Apple should grow up and accept reality—IBM was sportsmanlike—so lighten up, Apple.
"Hourly earnings rose a modest four cents, indicating that most of the jobs being created are low paying." Ouch--Four cents an hour rules out even Mac's coffee!
If this were the music era of Kate Smith and radio, Susan would be just another fine voice. In the '50s Toni Arden, not unlike Kate, was also popular and possessed an extraordinary voice--sadly rather hard to look at, but no one cared because music was for listening, not for visuals of sexy broads and fireworks.
And a Very Merry Christmas to Joe Users In the madness of current times When seems the world’s religions Instead of heralding peace with chimes Pound the drums of war’s abominations; In the chaos of hypocritic scripts When faiths are usurped by demagogues Who shovel falsity from musty crypts To bury truth’s inspired dialogues— Christmas, despite its secular marketplace, On solemn eve dwells in peaceful interface. ...
On this site several years ago when California was as usual on fire, I asked the same question as above. Where is the Air force now? Why aren’t hundreds of B 52s opening the bomb bays and dropping flame-retardants, along with fitting fighter jets with retardants,and why doesn't the state impound some private planes in order to strategically and massively control the rage? The reliance on fatigued ground firefighters cannot really do the job effectively.

The person familiar with the talks told The Associated Press that Imus is taking steps to make a comeback with WABC-AM. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the news had not been announced, also said the deal with CBS calls for a "non-disparaging" agreement that forbids him from speaking negatively about his former employer. The settlement and possible comeback come more than four months after Imus created an uproar over his racist and sexist comments about the Rutgers wome...
DHS is rightly tightening up on the program waiving vistas. The Post agrees as opposed to the “extremists” who want to terminate it altogether for security reasons and causing bottlenecks at airports. The Post insists that “the United States must remain as open and welcoming as possible.” I say, what the F…, and simply why? I thought 9/11 changed everything.
Much of my early childhood was engrossed in comic book heroes and I was fascinated by the artists’ talents to the point that I, too, used to sketch a likeness of each of their heroes. I would marvel at their physiques and wished someday that my skin and bones would take on the same. The thought never occurred to me that because they were all in tight fitting garbs that they were homosexual. To my surprise, much later in life I learned that some psychiatrists actually postulated that these ...
Since most tires on our cars are now from China--defective, by the way--it is only fitting that the Good Year blimp fly over the Olympics next year.
If its okay for South Dakota to ban abortion, why is not okay for Maryland to mandate Wal*Mart to ante-up health care for its employees? Is not choice a sort of social laissez-faire that should not be violated? No, that would be crossing the line of business sanctity. Auntie Millie Cheney isn’t really spying on one’s favorite aunt — unless her nephew is Bin Laden.
An academic freedom case is pending because a primary level teacher said in a classroom when asked about peace demonstrations in town: “While driving by I honked my horn to held up signs that said ‘Honk for Peace’… It is important for people to seek peaceful solutions to a problem before going to war and that we train kids on the playground to be mediators in seeking out peaceful solutions.”
Cheney during his last visit to Iraq was guarded by US troops with guns at “ready arms” while backed up by Iraqi forces pretending to be at ready arms since they had no guns. Can you guess the hidden message? Habeas Corpus is no joke. A man, named Mann, was held for 15 months in a Dallas jail. Accused of contempt-of -court, had he had a speedy trial, the irony is that his sentence would have been only two months. A jay walker was given a $5 ticket even though he was hit by a Toyo...
"No matter what the greatest tyrant in the world, the greatest terrorist in the world, George W. Bush says, we're here to tell you: Not hundreds, not thousands, but millions of the American people ... support your revolution," Belafonte told Chavez during the broadcast. Does Harry really think he's helping the cause of those who hold Bush in disfavor,wishing him to change policy, with a statement like this? It is one thing to praise Chavez even though many other millions would consider it d...
Though it’s great for the economy to have low unemployment, one can’t help but wonder if it wouldn’t be wiser to add some 70,000 to the unemployment ranks by shutting down the coal mines completely. But wait: some forty percent of our energy needs is supplied by coal. Would it not be better to develop a robotic system for the most lethal pockets of the mines to spare the practice of humans having to dig in an environment of deadly gases? But then the cry — as it is in opposing environmental id...
