Nuff said. Guys will understand. :-)

It is really amazing how history and time march on and we always know almost everyhing "in due time"..

It is also amazing how poor information, decisions small or large, egos, all contribute to large swings in the history of mankind on this planet.

Interesting information in summary format of facts gleaned from extensive interviews with Saddam Hussein after the overthrow of Iraq. Apparently his poor decision and judgment to the world and the U.S. to intentionally misleading us into believing he had WMDs was the real reason for his downfall, not the actual fact he had them!

Wow.. now we have to deal with the REAL threat in the Middle East.

Remember what you were saying about the Airbus composite tails Chuck?

This was interesting read.. about the software world in general
and also targeted at Microsoft. Check out the different logos
on the list. funny.

Alhambra is getting a VW dealership in its Auto Row on Main Street!
Same owners as the Pasadena one, but much closer to me. :-D

That is closer to fact than fiction.. but not nearly as sad as the last one I posted.

So if anyone is into self inflicted injury..

Go to Alondra Hot Wings, there is a new one in Alhambra on Main and fifth, and try their yummy assorted flavors of wing sauce. They have a few "spicy" flavors, to say the least. The top two of them are "Suicide" and "Atomic".. here is the fun part, to order the "Atomic" ones, you have to sign a waiver of liability.. no joke. I just got the Suicide ones instead, in the order of 16 I asked for just 4 of them to be Suicide, I could only eat two of them... and 5 24oz glasses of ice tea..

Might hold off on getting an iPhone 3GS as an iPod if this happens soon.

But still tough call as I am sure Apple won't put a GPS in the new model, or would they? That would be too cool. Also a camera would be awesome.

The mother of all special effects!

Wow.. looks impressive.. except John Cusack replaces Nicholas Cage.. :-P

WOWOWOWOWOWOW!
I guess we "underestimated" the power of our president to put us into debt!

This is the last two paragraphs from
http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/jun/21/goldman-sachs-bonus-payments

Goldman Sach's is making a KILLING trading the bonds that is putting our country deeper and deeper into debt. Read that number again, then read it again. $3.25 TRILLION!


< flame>
"These banks are intermediaries in the bond markets where governments and companies are raising billions of pounds of new money. There is also a lack of competition that means they can charge huge sums for doing business."

Last week, the firm predicted that President Barack Obama's government could issue $3.25tn of debt before September, almost four times last year's sum. Goldman, a prime broker of US government bonds, is expected to make hundreds of millions of dollars in profits from selling and dealing in the bonds.

Neat thing is, my job timer app was still "running" through the update and install.

Very cool. :-)

Just saw this on my twitter feed.. too true!

Your blood had cooled down..

How about that 1.6 TRILLION dollar budget for health care huh?
That should be a big enough number to send some people to the emergency ward with cardiac arrest!

Comments anyone??

And will start hitting the "Check for Updates" iTunes button at midnight on the 19th..

Can't wait.. FINALLY bluetooth capabilities on the iPod Touch! Amongst other numerous goodies. :-)

The Onion shocks yet again.. I honestly can't tell if this story is real or not, I fear it is, and if this specific case isn't real, I would bet money that other cases like it have happened all too often. :-(

Interesting read from the other side..

Edited to add articles ending paragraphs.

"In reckoning with the Obama administration, it is imperative that the Netanyahu government and the public alike understand the true goals of its current policies. Happily, consistent polling data show that the overwhelming majority of Israelis realize that the White House is deeply hostile toward Israel. The data also show that the public approves of Netanyahu's handling of our relations with Washington.

Moving forward, the government must sustain this public awareness and support. By his words as well as by his deeds, not only has Obama shown that he is not a friend of Israel. He has shown that there is nothing that Israel can do to make him change his mind."

How cruel can some people BE??!?!
