The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) has a correct translation of bin Laden’s video which many in the Mainstream Media have mistranslated. The important part: The tape of Osama bin Laden that was aired on Al-Jazeera(1) on Friday, October 29th included a specific threat to “each U.S. state,” designed to influence the outcome of the [...]
So the extra-long version of the story of my Halloween costume is up over at Bad Groove where I did some guest posting for Amy. It’s much longer than I had expected it to be… but I guess you could read it anyway.
After ‘Bama’s loss to Tennesse we played another round of “in five words”… I was hoping for a lot of comments, as Tennessee is much more comtemptable than Canada, but we didn’t quite do it. Almost as many as last time, though. So, as is (becoming) custom… here are the winners, as chosen by a special [...]

I was more than concerned when I woke up bright and early this morning to find that my browser, Firefox[#], would not start. Very often, when diagnosing computer problems, it’s important to make note of “expected behavior” versus “actual behavior” — for example, it’s not very useful to say “Oh, the internet doesn’t work.” On [...]
I’ve talked about Utah before… we all know I think they’re over-hyped. I can’t decide if I don’t want them to get a BCS game because someone else deserves it, or if I’d like to see them get in and get STOMPED just to make people think twice about giving so much cred to a [...]
This is hilarious. John Kerry: more positions than any other candidate, and the courage to stand by them. Very, very funny stuff.
I watched the game today. I was saddened by the loss. I hate tennessee. With a tremendous passion. Take heart, though, Alabama fans… Tennessee was a heavy favorite, they had the #3 rush defense in the SEC, and are in the driver’s seat of the SEC East… and they won by 4 points, largely driven [...]
Uh oh! It looks like Stevie-poo couldn’t keep it up. The Kiwanis webserver, that is. It turns out that, after berating Manny, Amy, and I for using PHP — which he called “entry-level” despite the fact that it’s one of the most advanced server-side scripting languages available — he’s using MySQL on the Kiwanis webserver. PHP [...]
Dick Cheney, Vice-president of the United States, gets a flu shot. No big deal, right? Well, it is if you’re a struggling democratic candidate for president. THEN it’s a political issue. The Kerry campaign accused the Bush administration of “telling Americans to keep calm” while top officials like Cheney and Treasury Secretary John Snow get their [...]
