Bush: One of the Greatest Presidents???

2 comments

Wow. In a letter to the editor in today's MN Daily, there is a genius who seems to think the GOP is gaining power in this country and that Bush is the greatest president since Lincoln. Now that is just delusional...
Here's a taste of the conservative "goodness":

We’ve kicked the Democrats out of power in Washington and most states, we’re about to kick them out of power within the federal judiciary and all the GOP has to do now to complete the funeral is find an equally savvy way to kick the Democrats off our school boards. And when that happens, conservatism’s victory over liberalism will be complete and Bush’s legacy as the best president since Lincoln will be sealed forever.

Now if that is not a classic case of an ignorant conservative who is dead sure the GOP is saving this country, I don't know what is. Maybe he should watch a news channel that shows what the rest of the world thinks about the US, not just Pat Robertson on the 700 Club or the "doctors" Jack and Rexella on Jack Van Impe Presents. Christ.

Hubble Image of Orion Nebula

Ok- this is one of the most beautiful images I have seen from the Hubble. Even if you are not an astronomy buff this would make a great background for you computer!




Wow. Apparently the next gubernatorial race in Minnesota will contain a member of the "Vampires Witches and Pagans Party" Who you might ask? Jonathon "The Impaler" Sharkey! While some of the political agendas on his website seem pretty outstanding (though some are pretty out there) and very refreshing from the lackluster performance of most of the dolts currently doing the politicking these days, I don't think I will be voting for a Satanic Dark Priest, Sanguinarian Vampyre and a Hecate Witch whose Magikal Path name is Lord Ares any time soon... that may be blatant religious discrimination on my part, but oh well.

Well, the rumors have flown and hopefully there will be some slim, shiny new powerbooks unveiled at Macworld San Francisco next week. Yes, I have decided to trade in my Powermac G5 for a Powerbook.

A Successful Holiday Week!

1 comments


Well, I hope everyone had a nice Holiday, I know I did! After traveling to Fairmont, MN, Brookings, SD, Cedar Falls, IA and then back to Minneapolis for New Years I think I am done traveling for a spell. I would have to say that one of the highlights of the past week was the nearly 9 foot tall Triumphant Arch that my brother Adam and I built in my Mom's yard. There are a few more pictures in my facebook pictures. Nothin' like a mechanical engineer and art history major playing in the snow!
