Sunday, January 22nd, 2006

I hope that Bin Laden’s comments are not implying that my disapproval of the Bush regime means some form of approval for his continued existence…

The New Market Bubble Theory

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

Big whoop. I predicted that the market would crash in the late 90’s. Most analytical people would have noticed that Internet hysteria had companies paying hundreds of millions of dollars to buy other companies who had never made a penny (they just had a large Internet presence). I would think that a business plan would somehow have to include some form of customer revenue to be viable, but not in the 90’s…

My favorite was Blue Mountain greeting cards…

Pakistan: Terrorists Killed in U.S. Strike

Tuesday, January 17th, 2006

The following little thought just struck me as I was reading this article from Yahoo! news. If terrorists were meeting in the US we would have to arrest these people and send them to a court to be judged. Apparently, if they are in another country (that we are not at war with) we can just kill them with impunity.

Good thing the dead women and children were not in this country. They would have had to suffer the indignity of going to trial for their crimes… ;-)

Feds aim for more data sharing by terrorist screeners

Tuesday, January 17th, 2006

Ok, can the bush administration and their love for scaring the US citizens combined with their voracious appetite for spying information, be considered a single Anti-Christ?

Feds share the data mining love with the rest of the world.

I will stop with the government conspiracy stuff now as I’m scared that I might be construed as being a black helicopter nut job…
