  • Are online advertisers getting desperate?

    Are online advertisers getting desperate? I don’t know, but I’ve clicked on more text ads in the last two months, than all the ad banners combined. Collectrix is soon going to provide our own text-ad service, so let me know if you know of a good ad-management system.

  • LTE: My Boycott of GnuPG

    Take a look at the following email I sent to the GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) team. I encourage my readers to send similar emails to organizations or websites that put up “no war” banners. Dear GnuPG team, I noticed a “no-war” image on your homepage linked to the U.N. Human Rights Resolution. I am unclear…

  • Random Stuff…

    EPA agents are being used a personal servants, more proof that Saddam worked with Bin Laden, my former economics proffesor Dr Reynolds on his experience at the Dept of Labor, and a very informative interview of Victor Davis Hanson about Iraq, education, and left/right bias in universities.

  • Islam = Terrorism?

    Thanks to Hootinan for this photo of 18-year-old Ahmed Khatib, who blew himself up for Allah. He’s misinterpreting the "peaceful nature of Islam", right? Some people would beg to differ. Any religion can be used to justify violence and oppression — once people are brainwashed into believing that their own senses and reason are subordinate…

If that sounds like a pyramid scheme, it was, and CyberRebate went bankrupt (over…

If share my strong feelings about modern art, you can try…

  • Regime Change

    Check out today’s Cox and Forkum on the topic of my earliest post. Then read Turning Iraq Into Another Iran. Also interesting is an acount of media bias at Hootinan.

  • Michael Moore is a big

    Michael Moore is a big fat liar. Take away his Oscar, and don’t forget:

  • Hubba Hubba — Miss Shock and Awe!

    Yes, Fox reporters are so popular that they have their own fan sites, and Jennifer looks pretty "fair" and balanced to me 🙂 Any day now, Iraqi women are going to riot against having such good-looking American women walking around without rags on their heads… (Thanks, StarsnStripes)

  • Are these the "noble Iraqi people"?

    Drumming their chests and whipping their backs, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Shi’ite Muslims swarmed through the holy city of Kerbala on Tuesday on a pilgrimage suppressed for decades by Saddam Hussein. Marking one of the most important events of their year, some men slashed their heads with knives and left bloody wounds in a…
