He's polling at 15%! Just remember the only difference is how much they steal and from whom. Give both sides the finger.

Deez Nuts for President! The time is NOW for Deez Nuts! Who do you want? A billionaire egomaniac? An old biddy lawyer/politician that skates just ahead of the indictments? How about one out of a bunch of religious nuts? A failed CEO or a libertarian that doesn't stand a chance? Corporate stuffed shirts marching to the company's drums? Think it through. Dez Nuts is the best choice you've got! Follow Deez Nuts on twitter! @DeezNutsforPrez

True- it's a big topic of local discussion and we expect to have quite a few barbecues and parades. One of the biggest street barbecue parties ever was held in the days after Katrina as peoples freezers defrosted. It was cook it all or watch it go bad. That was a huge feast.

This tattered flag flew at my home in central Mississippi when Katrina hit. It's still here and so am I.

You have good tastes. Tequila is great. If you aren't silly, you will be after a few snorts. My favorite liquor of all time is: but- I haven't had any since Sept. 2003.

Rape has a long history of being a weapon of war. Some very, very ugly history.

You should see me in it after 3 days in the gym a week for a year. #BEEFCAKE

Oh blast! They know I haz Fancy Feast.

"We're in the right place. Sounds like my brother's squad has run into trouble." Corporal Agli said, "Again?" Jerry just shook his head. "Again. I swear if there's trouble in a thousand klicks, my brother and his squad will find it." The gunfire intensified and then there was the de

The Vampyre "So, are you a vampire?" "In the Hollywood sense, no. In truth, I am from the bloodline that created the legend but almost everything you've ever heard about us has been wrong." I was stunned, and a little furious. "Why? What did I do to you? Am I going to go around killing random people?" Raymond shook his head sadly. "No. You will recover your strength in a day or so and feel no ill effects." "How much blood did you take?" Raymond smiled at this

I've got a Vampyre story...

Chutzpah kitty shows his chutzpah by taking out the schnauzer.

I'm not sure about the phrase but I'm sure that the words trust, change, certainty and required upgrade are involved.

My two cats Rambo (gray tabby) and Cleo (black). Uh, Dad... why is the toilet smoking? (fun with cats & dry ice)

certainty- Now here's a super loaded word. The dictionary defines it as the state of being certain or something that is certain. It is really the way to go wrong with confidence!

Today one of our members asked a very interesting question which I attempted to answer. I did my best to keep it apolitical as possible by using four examples: two each from democratic and republican presidential administrations. Have we made mistakes in regard to the technologies that we sell? OH HECK YEAH! Many, many mistakes. They are made by businesses and at the governmental level. They have been made by both sides of the political spectrum. They have been made with malice and forethought on the part of both the buyer and the seller. We've learned some very hard lessons in that regard. When a guy from jerk-water Oklahoma bought a ton of fertilizer and diesel fuel, no one gave it a second thought. Until he used it to blow up the Federal building in Oklahoma City. When Saddam Hussien's minions asked the US Dept. of Agriculture for hospital equipment, brewers vats and oil refinery equipment, who knew they would use it to brew up anthrax and nerve gas? When some odd cultists in Tokyo bought cleaning supplies, mason jars and mouth wash, no one was thinking sarin gas on the subways. The technological genie is well and truly out of the bottle. It is now possible for a mad person to build or brew things in their garage that can wipe out thousands of people at a shot. Many try and fail but sooner or later, one of them is going to hurt us badly. Even more chilling, if a person of limited resources can accomplish this, what about well organized groups or even nation states? The old rules don't apply to designer viruses or dirty bombs. They do not come with return address labels. It is now possible, and one might even argue easy, to do nightmarish things both anonymously and on a shoe string. That is the world that we live in. There is a bottom line to all this: there really are people who have bad intentions. Their motivations are irrelevant. If they turn their genius to destruction, we are all in for serious trouble. It has happened before and you can bet serious coin that it will happen again.

There are countries like India and China that will sign any environmental treaty you put in front of them and not do anything to reduce their output. These two countries emissions don't just outdistance US, they are emitting stuff so nasty that we swore off of it in the seventies. Just be sure to put the blame where it belongs.

The answer to that is there is some technology included that is classified as strategic or has military applications. We (the US) have gotten badly burned in regard to many technology transfers over the years. Under the Reagan administration, Iraq under Saddam Hussien in the 1980s was given billions in trade credits to charm Iraq away from Soviet influence. The US Dept of Agriculture was expected to administer this program. The Iraqis could order practically anything they could find in a catalog or e-bay. (OK, only kidding about e-bay). Anyway- they asked for stuff that had hospital applications in pathology and brewers vats. Sounds harmless right? They used that stuff to create TONS of battlefield grade anthrax (a nasty bioweapon). Other stuff they used to make nerve gas. The rest is some very ugly and controversial history. In another badly botched technology transfer Red China asked the Clinton administration for the technology required to launch multiple satellites with one booster rocket. Sounds harmless right? Wrong. We just handed one of our biggest rivals the tech needed for MIRVs or Multiple Independent Re-entry Vehicles for nuclear weapons. Oops. In another, more round about way, we got burned, a Japanese company sold high tolerance milling equipment to the Soviet Union. They originally got it from US. It allowed the Soviets to manufacture parts for their submarines that made them much quieter. This has made us more than a little paranoid about what technologies we give to whom. Not that I expect New Zealand to go mustang and nuke Australia, we have to be very careful about what we do because we have a long, ugly history of being shot in the back with our own iron. I mean that literally. The bomb that destroyed the Arizona at Pearl Harbor was made from scrap iron purchased from the United States.

It is the idea that everything must be controlled and regulated by a corrupt junta no one trusts that gets political.

My experience with win-blowz is that they release their alpha version and let their users do their beta testing. It's not really worth bothering with until it has been around for a year to a year and a half.

Now some they do and some they don't And some you just can't tell And some they will and some they won't With some it's just as well -Supertramp, Goodbye Stranger
