Pollywogs!

Don’t buy any games which install Starforce.

Reference…(why I really posted)

Games that use Starforce

Sorry its been so quiet here, been ‘hella’ busy. I’ll try to post again before I die in a fiery plane crash here Thursday…

…of the Pittsburg Post-Gazette (I didn’t use the title below tho…heh):

Keeping the pressure on our own local homegrown cocksucker :

In a video from 6/28/05, Santorum is seen saying the following:

“Thank you Grover, and I appreciate your help and support on this and many other issues…”

And yet today I read:

“I had absolutely nothing to do–never met, never talked, never coordinated, never did anything — with Grover Norquist and the — quote — K Street Project.”

What IS the truth? Either he knows him very well and has an apparent long standing working relationship, or he’s never met him before in his life.

You wouldn’t think bald-faced lying would be allowed in the government, you’d think they’d have to take an oath or something…

You’d also think that breaking that oath would be the very definition of treason…

Referring to this and this

Thanks to the dailykos.com for keeping the fire in my heart, so I can keep the fire under their asses…

Hello.

What is ‘the K-Street Project’? As a constituant, whom you are elected to represent, what should I know about it?

Thanks,
Garrett

Ok, its not crack, but its nearly as good!

Take your chocolate and stir it with your butterknife or spatula till all the chips are melted. Then sprinkle your coffee grounds into the chocolate and mix. Add as much as you want, good ratio is 2 parts chocolate to 1 part coffee (or 3-2 for more coffee). Mix it well and spread it out on the wax paper to about 1/8″ thickness.

Update 1/26/05 : Used coffee beans, put about 30 beans in a pestle, added them to melted andes mint baking chips, chilled, enjoyed in 1/4 servings (one for K & I last night, one this evening). Not as much of a kick as I hoped, probably ground coffee would work better (denser baby!). I’m thinking French Vanilla coffee…mmm…dark chocolate chips…mmm…round two is comin up!

Neat stuff they did at Penn State:

That is what a shockwave looks like, pretty normal occurance, every sound or object moving through air disturbs the air to some degree…just that it is normally invisible. Neato, thanks to teamdroid.com for the find.

We need more executives like this :

Top executives of Google have once again agreed to be paid annual salaries of $1 each in 2006, counting instead on stock options and grants of the company’s volatile stock for their pay.

Note that Google stock is down, a good time to buy? As always, hard to say… I wish I had $10k to throw around at the time of the IPO, I’d have $30k of play money here one year later…

Impeachment

1) They knew it was illegal…
2) Congress struck down decriminilization of a lesser crime…
3) They are counting on us not remembering…

The first thing that struck me when General Hayden made the ignorant observation that the Fourth Amendment didn’t include a probable cause standard was that someone needed to tattoo the Bill of Rights on his chest, backwards, so he could read it every time he looked in the mirror in the morning. The second thing that struck me about his insistence that a “reasonable suspicion” standard prevails over probable cause for the spying program was that this Administration and the Congress already rejected a reasonable suspicion standard.

In 2002, Republican Senator DeWine introduced an amendment to the PATRIOT ACT that would have lowered the FISA warrant standard for non-U.S. citizens from probable cause to “reasonable suspicion.” The DeWine amendment, S. 2659, was rejected in Committee. Glenn Greenwald has a must-read, excellent post on the DeWine amendment here. DeWine’s amendment would have lowered the standard ONLY for non-U.S. citizens. The administration expressed serious misgiving about the constitutionality of DeWine’s amendment. In the end, his amendment did not pass.

The admission that Bush’s spying program uses a “reasonable suspicion” standard rather than a “probable cause” standard is explosive and damning. Why? Because the Bush administration knew–indeed, took the position–that a reasonable suspicion standard with respect to non-U.S. citizens was probably unconstitutional. Yet the administration now applies that same unconstitutional standard to United States citizens?

Cool stuff I did to my car recently:
