Its not just the way I think, its the way the pc thinks. And all pc's hate installing service pack 2.

The main reason for such a hate for a software service pack is the fact that on a pentium 4 pc with a half a gig of ram cant install service pack 2 faster than i can reinstall windows itself.

Not to say that it serves a purpose, that is installing the os over again. Its just a point at how long it takes for service pack 2 to install and clean its self up and reboot.

Sean Hannity is an idiot to call the evidence that proves george bush wanted a war in iraq previous to the "terrerist attacks" on 9/11.

http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/june2005/290605conspiracytheory.htm

Bill O'rielly is an idiot because if he makes so much money with his talk show and so much money with his radio program, why is every other thing he talks about, is his website and what he has for sale. Who really wants to buy a bunch of crap that has bill orielly on it? Its not fashion like "abicromi and fitch" or "tommy hilfinger", its bill orielly.

And how is he watching out for you? Tell him to run for the senate or congress or govenor. Bill orielly is a puppet to the people who tend to the rest of us as sheep.

Open your eyes to a way of thinking that does make something out of you that you are not. If the president wants to go to war with another country, why doesnt the country as a country vote. Why give those types of powers to a bunch of well trained sheep.

Then again if you had to hold an election, who is to say it would not be corrupted.

Open your eyes to truth.

The latest comments were made by Mr Wolfowitz in an address to delegates at an Asian security summit in Singapore at the weekend, and reported today by German newspapers Der Tagesspiegel and Die Welt. Asked why a nuclear power such as North Korea was being treated differently from Iraq, where hardly any weapons of mass destruction had been found, the deputy defence minister said: "Let's look at it simply. The most important difference between North Korea and Iraq is that economically, we just had no choice in Iraq. The country swims on a sea of oil."

01/28/2003 -- Bush gives another State of the Union speech, this time saying, "With nuclear arms or a full arsenal of chemical and biological weapons, Saddam Hussein could resume his ambitions of conquest in the Middle East and create deadly havoc in that region. And this Congress and the America people must recognize another threat. Evidence from intelligence sources, secret communications, and statements by people now in custody reveal that Saddam Hussein aids and protects terrorists, including members of al-Qaida (emphasis mine). Secretly, and without fingerprints, he could provide one of his hidden weapons to terrorists, or help them develop their own."

3/19/2003 -- President Bush sent a letter to Congress saying that the Iraq war was permitted specifically under legislation that authorized force against "nations, organizations, or persons who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11."

Let me say this, the way I would like to say anyone who has read this far in this entry.

It is very low level thinking to say that 9/11 was an attack on the U.S. by our own powers to be, and in return they bend the facts around to make us believe that some box cutters highjacked 4 planes and that somehow sadam heusane is to blame for it.  When all the reasons for war came out to be lies, isntead of them being lies they were called intelligence failures. This is very convieninent.

It wasnt like me to finish off the end of the summer league with a four count. It ended up costing us second place and nearly finishing fourth.

Needing to win two games to clinch second place we started out the first game with fury. Fading fast the second game ended with a twenty pin difference to the other. The last game came down to the tenth frame. I spared and got a four count. He spared and struck. We tied 350 the last game. I cant remember the last time I got a four count on the first ball. To think of it seriously, it is hard to get a four count without hitting the headpin.

Take a look at this chart to get the setup of the pins. Without hitting the headpin, knock down four pins. Just four, and dont let the pins knock another pin over.

I still choked.

Nearsighted people are dangerous, and even more dangerous when they are young. This has to be, has to be one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

politics > Energy Bill Doesnt Help Bush

George Bush signed an energy bill that will give tax relief in the billions to encourage home grown energy production.

"This bill is not going to solve our energy challenges overnight," Bush said in a speech shortly before he signed the 1,724-page bill at the Sandia National Laboratories. "Most of the serious problems, such as high gasoline costs or the rising dependence on foreign oil, have developed over decades. It's going to take years of focused effort to alleviate those problems."

Well no shit of course this bill will not affect us anytime soon. Is it going to make oil grow from random parts in the U.S.? Is this bill going to ask the middle east to give us a deal seeing we consume the most in the world?

This energy bill signing comes in at a perfect time for george bush to get some good public relations to make it seem like he still functions as a president. Seeing that his overall approval rating has dropped and the support for the idiots war has fell as well.

Just like the waste of time ecenomic summit he held at his ranch with a bunch of underdressed, over payed squares. They sat down in texas talking a bunch of crap and come out to the news reporters and press saying, "after going over everything the economy is good and very good for a country that is fighting a war and o dont forget 9/11 thats another reason, seeing that was almost four years ago.

Listen to reason, why would we rely on george bush for anything more complicated than simple math. It just doesnt seem right to have an idiot calling the shots for a country as great as ours.

Leave it to AOL to display useless content to attract visitors to there pages of junk. Lets start off with a screenshot of an aim morning addition. Thanks AOL for bringing to our attention national underwear day.

So here we are signing onto aol and we get to see some very valuable content. "Stand up for your rights". What the hell do you mean stand up for your rights? Rights to wear undewear or the right to have idiots post pictures of woman on one of the three slides on aim today. How many kids use aol, how many people really care about national underwear day. What a sad dumb place this is to celebrate such a pointless, no value holiday.

I'm finished with this one.

Have you been waiting for madden 2006? I have and today was the day it was supposed to happen. The key word, supposed?

The ad @ http://www.easports.com/games/madden06/ says in stores august 9, 2005. A flash animation below this loads some crappy music every time the page loads because it cant remember that each visit i have to turn it off.

 I went by walmart to pick up the game, looked around and couldnt find it. Then I went over to the xbox games and ps2 games and it was in the casing. So I asked around and they tell me they don't have it.

No where on this site or in the ea game online store does it say the release date for the pc version of madden 2006 is later than august 9.

I wasnt untill I went into game spot and looked around and found cases of madden 2006 on the shelves empty. I thought maybe they are behind the counter, and then the guy tells me its not being released untill august 18.

I cant say much about someone I dont know personally. Since my mind can remeber watching news, I can imagine Peter Jennings face. One thing that comes to mind about him is that I never heard anyone say they didnt like or disliked Jennings. He might be canadian, but that doesnt go against him in my book. A good guy who will be missed. Later on peter.

BIOGRAPHY

 


Peter Jennings is the anchor and senior editor of ABC's "World News

 

Tonight" where he has established a reputation for independence and excellence in broadcast journalism. He is the network's principal anchor for breaking news, election coverage and special events.

 

As one of America's most distinguished journalists, Peter Jennings has reported many of the pivotal events that have shaped our world. He was in Berlin in the 1960s when the Berlin Wall was going up, and there in the '90s when it came down. He covered the civil rights movement in the southern United States during the 1960s, and the struggle for equality in South Africa during the 1970s and '80s. He was there when the Voting Rights Act was signed in 1965, and on the other side of the world when South Africans voted for the first time. He has worked in every European nation that once was behind the Iron Curtain. He was there when the independent political movement Solidarity was born in a Polish shipyard, and again when Poland's communist leaders were forced from power. And he was in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Romania and throughout the Soviet Union to record first the repression of communism and then its demise. He was one of the first reporters who went to Vietnam in the 1960s, and went back to the killing fields of Cambodia in the 1980s to remind Americans that, unless they did something, the terror would return.

 

In broadcast journalism, Peter Jennings has a reputation for putting the most complex and difficult issues on the agenda when others have largely ignored them. From his early days in the Middle East and South Africa, to the contemporary challenges in Africa and the former Soviet Union, on education, health care and tobacco — these are issues with which Jennings' stewardship at "World News Tonight" and his special series, "Peter Jennings Reporting," have been associated.

He is the author, with Todd Brewster, of the acclaimed New York Times best seller, "The Century." Structured as an epic tale about "ourselves," it is a lavish book that features astonishing first-person accounts of the great events of the century. In 1999, he anchored the 12-hour ABC series, "The Century," and ABC's series for The History Channel, "America's Time." He and Brewster have recently published a new book, "In Search of America," a companion book for the ABC News series.

On December 31, 1999, Jennings anchored ABC's Peabody-award winning coverage of Millennium Eve, "ABC 2000." 175 million Americans watched the telecast, making it the biggest live global television ever. "The day belonged to ABC News," praised The Washington Post, "with Peter Jennings doing a nearly superhuman job of anchoring." Jennings was the only anchor to appear live for 25 consecutive hours.

 

Jennings led the Network's coverage of the September 11 attacks and America's subsequent war on terrorism. He anchored more than 60 hours that week during the Network's longest continuous period of news coverage, and was widely praised for providing a reassuring voice during the time of crisis. TV Guide called him "the center of gravity," while the Washington Post wrote, "Jennings, in his shirt sleeves, did a Herculean job of coverage."

Jennings joined ABC News on August 3, 1964. He briefly served as the anchor of the "ABC Evening News" from 1965 to 1968. In 1972 he helped put ABC News on the map with his coverage of the Summer Olympics in Munich, as Arab terrorists took Israeli athletes hostage.

 

Prior to his current appointment, Jennings served as chief foreign correspondent for ABC News and he was the foreign desk anchor for "World News Tonight" from 1978 to 1983. He established the first American television news bureau in the Arab world when he served as ABC News' bureau chief for Beirut, Lebanon, a position he held for seven years.

Jennings was named anchor and senior editor of "World News Tonight" in 1983. In the only five years that the Washington Journalism Review gave an award for the country's best anchor, Jennings was named each time. In 1995 the Boston Globe noted "the passing of Edward R. Murrow's mantle to Peter Jennings." He has won the Harvard University's Goldsmith Career Award for excellence in journalism and the coveted Radio and Television News Directors Paul White Award, chosen by the news directors of all three major networks. This year, "World News Tonight" was honored with the Edward R. Murrow award for best newscast.

His extensive domestic and overseas reporting experience has proven to be invaluable during "World News Tonight's" coverage of major crises. He has reported from all 50 states and locations around the globe. During the 1991 Gulf War and the 2003 War in Iraq, his knowledge of Middle Eastern affairs brought invaluable perspective to ABC News' coverage. During the historic transfer of sovereignty to Iraq in June 2004, Jennings was one of only two television journalists to witness the historic transfer of power and one of only three Western journalists to be in the room for Saddam Hussein's first appearance before an Iraqi court. He has anchored the ABC News coverage of every major national election since 1984.

In "Peter Jennings Reporting," which debuted in 1990, Jennings covers challenging issues in depth during primetime television. Millions watched the critically acclaimed "The Search for Jesus" in 2000 and "Jesus and Paul — the Word and the Witness" in 2004. "Peter Jennings Reporting" has also focused extensively on international news, with specials on tense relations between India and Pakistan, the conflict in Bosnia, the crisis in Haiti, the war in Iraq and the drug trade in Central and South America. The series has also tackled important domestic issues such as gun control policy, the politics of abortion, the crisis in funding for the arts and a highly praised chronicle of the accused bombers of Oklahoma City. "Peter Jennings Reporting" has earned numerous awards, including the 2004 Edward R. Morrow award for best documentary for "The Kennedy Assasination — Beyond Conspiracy."

Jennings has a particular interest in broadcasting for the next generation. He has done numerous live news specials for children on subjects ranging from growing up in the age of AIDS, to prejudice and its effects on our society. After the events of September 11, and again on the anniversary, he anchored a town hall meeting for children and parents entitled, "Answering Children's Questions."

 

Jennings has been honored with many awards for news reporting, including 14 national Emmys, two George Foster Peabody Awards, several Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Awards and several Overseas Press Club Awards.


On a late sunday night Peter Jennings passed on to a better place. He was 67.

this just in > To Kill A Bee

Not too long ago I was in the back of the house and I damn near killed a bee. I watched it as it hobbled around the ground looking for reasons to live.

I thought to myself maybe I should let him live to see another day?

Never again will I make the mistake of letting any bee go un killed.

Walking into the house after getting breakfast I was confronted by 10 or more bees. The entry to their hidden nest is through the paneling cracks where the siding does not fit all the way up against the wall of the house. This morning one of them got me in the left temple and for the second weekend in a row I was to battle to the death with these bee stinging mother f ers.

Using my quick silver sandles I commensed the killing of 20 or more bees. Another day will come and I will kill more of these bastards at my front door.
