Fumbling around on Neal Boortz’s website….never read this before.
Not that the Republicansn are much better in many aspects, but you get all that when you vote for Democrats on the national level. W00t.
I do agree with removing the mortgage deduction. I actually think there should be no deductions, whatsoever. No payroll taxes, either. The best solution would be taxes on consumption, combined with tariffs and excise taxes. Alternatively, you tax income at a flat rate (same percentage for everyone) with no deductions. No personal deduction. No deductions for kids. Nothing.

Blogfeed and 757 should be back up and running again after Adam broke Perl.
Nothing much going on here. Tired, not sleeping right.
I pwn drived.
He sucks at DOD .
And if he makes fun of my network again……….

These are non-negotiable. If you think differently, you’re wrong
Rule 1: Any beer you have to fortify with fruit is not worth drinking.
Rule 2: Any beer sold in a tackle shop, you do not drink unless you are fishing.
Rule 3: A beer is a snack, not a meal. It shouldn’t be like a bowl of oatmeal.
That is all.
Again, if you disagree, you are wrong. And you find tubgirl attractive.

Environmental Weenies have finally started bitching about Disney’s self-destructing DVD’s.
Hey, Eisner…it’s called Pay-per-view. Look into it. Don King makes really good money with it, I hear.

It works. I r0ck.
The new blog feed page you can view here.
LiveJournal users can read the 757 syndication feed by adding 757 as a friend.
0wn.

Trying to see if the update jibbie is working.
When it does, you’ll be able to read 757 users’ blogs through an RSS feed. http://users.757.org/blogfeed/index.rss

One Down, Osama to go.
And all I can think of, and I saw reading /. is that there is a large contingent who really wish it was George W. Bush hiding in a hovel. I’m not really even sure what to say about that.
Hmmph.
Lionel is right — Linda Vester from Fox News does look like she’s watching an autopsy all the time.

It pisses Adam off to no end, because it fucks up everything you’ve got open in a screen session when somebody does that. Normally the perpertrator is none other than yours truly.
I had a very strange dream today. No shit. I abandoned all reason, and went to become Howard Dean’s media advisor. Of course, it’s a job I’m only marginally qualified for, and I don’t think I’d work for Dr. Dean (see, I’ve figured that one out too….you say “Dr. Dean” or “General Clark” next to the disparaging “Mister Bush”….objective journalism 101 here folks), but we were riding around the country in this beat up like 1940’s Plymouth. Having strategy sessions. I’d taken the job because I’d gotten pissed off at the radio station, and decided that anything, even throwing away my principles and working for rich boy Howie, would be better than spending one more night slaving away inside the newsroom. I wonder if it conincides with the fact that I got woken up again today for a bullshit reason…
I did write some damn good campaing ads for Howie, tho. I’d do that sort of thing, except campaigning isn’t a good way to make a halfway decent living.
And I’ve goot too much hair to be James Carville.

How many other people spend copious amounts of time reading entries out of the state department’s world fact book, and reading the travel advisories to those places? Yep, that’s me.
NERD
I still think I ought to go back to Eastern Europe, maybe to live. Computer stuff is in demand, and I could probably live pretty well in Albania.
Really.
In other news, the company Christmas (Yes, that’s the major holiday, and so the season should be referred to as such…) Party is goin on downstairs. I have been given a reprieve, but I am at work. And that sucks.
People don’t talk late at night as much in #757 anymore, and *nobody* IM’s me anymore
Gotta be a bitchy, whiny blogger sometimes….

Thanks to Glenn Beck for the nickname. Unfortunately, the accent doesn’t translate to text….
Anyway, we’ve pissed off the Frenchy French, the Germans, the Canadians, and the Russians because their companies won’t be allowed to bid on contracts to rebuild Iraq.
Excuse me?
Look, here’s the deal, and I’ll spell it out for each country…..
France: Take Jerry Lewis, and I don’t think anyone would be particularly upset if we never heard from you again. It’s a moot point for you really — is there anything actually made in france anymore, other than food and wine?
Germany: Like your Communist Chancellor now? Couldn’t wait to stick it to Helmutt, but things have been downhill since he left.
Russia: Hey, guys, we know Saddam owed you money. But you could have helped out some. Dubya might change his mind here, because Vladimir has records of his wild youth from the KGB archives.
Canada: You notice how quickly the US Army sliced through Iraq? STFU, or you’re next.
Here’s the deal. The companies from the countries in the “Coalition of the willing” funded the Iraq invasion via taxes they paid. They ought to reap the benefits that are appearing now. It’s as simple as that.
