Death of environmentalism
ELF are pathetic posing losers - just ultra-destructive, not very sophisticated, amateur pyros with no idea of the correct time and place to act for maximum effect, minimum risk. A small bit of clandestinely planted pre-construction toxic waste type stuff will accomplish far more than their stunts. A smart operator uses torch jobs for beautification projects like eliminating garish and offensive billboards.

PETA and Greenpeace are wimps. :plain "public attention", the kind they draw, is worthless anyway. You stop things by making them too expensive to continue with.

sexual predators "staggering drunk"
ARCADIA - Violent sexual predators at a privately operated treatment center brew their own alcohol, wander around "staggering drunk" and often have brutal fights, state investigators found. The report by the Department of Children & Families' inspector general portrays the Florida Civil Commitment Center as a largely lawless place where rapists and child molesters freely consume alcohol and brawl. http://www.tampabaylive.com/stories/2005/0...11arcadia.shtml Trust us, its part of the "treatment" :shifty

Death of environmentalism
The fundamental problem, as I see it, is that environmental groups are too often alarmists. They have an awful track record, so they've lost credibility with the public. Some do great work, but others can be the left's equivalents of the neocons: brimming with moral clarity and ideological zeal, but empty of nuance. (Industry has also hyped risks with wildly exaggerated warnings that environmental protections will entail a terrible economic cost.) http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/12/opinion/...ticle_popular_2 The answer is to stop whining and just start monkey wrenching where appropriate. Just 10 minutes of relocating survey stakes can throw a construction project into turmoil.

"Thought crimes" at Le Moyne will get you
Supporting corporal punishment is one thing; advocating it is another, as Mr. McConnell recently learned. Studying for a graduate teaching degree at Le Moyne College, he wrote in a paper last fall that "corporal punishment has a place in the classroom." His teacher gave the paper an A-minus and wrote, "Interesting ideas - I've shared these with Dr. Leogrande," referring to Cathy Leogrande, who oversaw the college's graduate program. Unknown to Mr. McConnell, his view of discipline became a subject of discussion among Le Moyne officials. Five days before the spring semester began in January, Mr. McConnell learned that he had been dismissed from Le Moyne, a Jesuit college. "I have grave concerns regarding the mismatch between your personal beliefs regarding teaching and learning and the Le Moyne College program goals," Dr. Leogrande wrote in a letter, according to a copy provided by Mr. McConnell. "Your registration for spring 2005 courses has been withdrawn." Dr. Leogrande offered to meet with Mr. McConnell, and concluded, "Best wishes in your future endeavors." If the letter stunned Mr. McConnell, the "best wishes" part turned him into a campaigner. A mild-mannered former private in the Army, Mr. McConnell has taken up a free-speech banner with a tireless intensity, casting himself as a transplant from a conservative state abused by political correctness in more liberal New York. He also said that because he is an evangelical Christian, his views about sparing the rod and spoiling the child flowed partly from the Bible, and that Le Moyne was "spitting on that." http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/10/nyregion/10paddle.html? McConnell is a religio-nut, but the college administration are a bunch of facist thought police too. :thumbdown

The real cause of ED
A study released by the American Medical Association today has found that most Americans who suffer from erectile dysfunction do so as a result of the average daily diet of advertisements for treatments of erectile dysfunction, raising "some concerns," according to AMA spokesman Dan Ronald at a press conference. ...more... http://www.enduringvision.com/archives/ere...dysfunction.htm

Watch and learn!
George and Laura Bush and Bill and Hillary Clinton are traveling by train to the Super Bowl. At the station, George and Laura each buy a ticket and watch as Bill and Hilary buy just one ticket. "How are the two of you going to travel on only one ticket?" asks George W, astonished at what he is seeing. "Watch and learn," answers Hillary. They all board the train. George and Laura take their respective seats but Bill and Hillary cram into a toilet together and close the door. Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the toilet door and says, "Ticket, please." The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on. The Bushes see this happen and agree it was quite a clever idea, so after the game they decide to try a similar plan on the return trip. When they get to the station they see the Clintons at the window buying a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the Clintons see that the Bushes don't buy any ticket at all. "Aren't you taking a terrible chance by traveling without a ticket?" says Hillary. "Watch and learn," answers Laura Bush. When they board the train the Bushs cram themselves into a toilet and the Clintons cram into another toilet just down the way. Shortly after the train is on its way, George W. leaves their toilet and walks over to the toilet in which the Clintons are hiding. George W. knocks on their door and says, "Ticket, please." And you're still trying to figure out how the Democrats lost that election.

The "Dear John" letter
An Army Ranger was deployed to Iraq. While he was there, he received a letter from his girlfriend. In the letter, she explained that she had slept with two guys while he had been gone, she wanted to break up, and she wanted the pictures of herself back. So, the Ranger does what any squared away Ranger would do: He went around to his buddies and collected all the unwanted photos of women he could find. He then mailed about 25 pictures to his girlfriend with the following note: "I'm sorry but I can't remember which one you are, but please take the one that belongs to you and send the rest back. Thank you."

The Basra patrol
A Marine squad was marching north of Basra when they came upon an insurgent soldier badly injured and unconscious. Nearby, on the opposite side of the road, was an American Marine in a similar but less serious state. The Marine was conscious and alert. As first aid was given to both men, the Marine was asked what had happened. The Marine reported, "I was heavily armed and moving north along the highway and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent. Seeing each other we both took cover." "What happened then?" "I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein was a miserable low-life scumbag, and he yelled back, 'Teddy Kennedy is a rich, good-for-nothing fat drunk.'" "We were standing there shaking hands when a truck hit us."

The hotshot lawyer and the duck
A big city lawyer went duck hunting in rural Texas. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer's field on the other side of a fence. As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly farmer drove up on his tractor and asked him what he was doing. The litigator responded, "I shot a duck and it fell in this field, and now I'm going to retrieve it." The old farmer replied, "This is my property, and you are not coming over here." The indignant lawyer said, "I am one of the best trial attorneys in the United States and, if you don't let me get that duck, I'll sue you and take everything you own. The old farmer smiled and said, "Apparently, you don't know how we settle disputes in Texas. We settle small disagreements like this with the Three Kick Rule." The lawyer asked, "What is the Three Kick Rule?" The Farmer replied, "Well, because the dispute occurs on my land, first I kick you three times and then you kick me three times and so on back and forth until someone gives up." The attorney quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the old codger. He agreed to abide by the local custom. The old farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the attorney. His first kick planted the toe of his heavy steel toed work boot into the lawyer's groin and dropped him to his knees. His second kick to the midriff sent the lawyer's last meal gushing from his mouth. The lawyer was on all fours when the farmer's third kick to his rear end sent him face-first into a fresh cow pie. The lawyer summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his feet. Wiping his face with the arm of his jacket, he said, "Okay, Now it's my turn." The old farmer smiled and said, "Naw, I give up. You can have the duck."

Shooting at Fulton County Courthouse
Optimum retention is achieved by an internal trigger guard lock that resists unlawful disarming attempts but allows the officer quick access to the duty gun. http://www.desantisholster.com/079.html The most technologically advanced duty holster in service today, the 070 SS III features a top snap thumb break, middle finger release tab, patented molded ejection port or cylinder detent and decoy side strap which together provide the highest possible degree of weapon retention. http://www.safariland.com/dgcat/070.htm

Legislative haste & chicanery
This chart shows the proportion of bills considered under the open rule that "allows Members with germane, properly-drafted amendments to bring their amendments to the floor, debate them under the five-minute rule, and call for votes on them if they desire." After taking power in the 1994 elections, the GOP Rules Committee chairman promised to try and bump the number of open rule votes up to 70 percent. Instead, it's gone consistently down. For all the vast, stinking piles of ink that have been spilled bemoaning the decline of bipartisanship in Washington, remarkably little attention has been played to the role of these kinds of antics in making it happen. How are deals supposed to get made if members can't offer deal-making amendments? More ot the point, if you're a member and you know that amendments important to you and your district won't even be considered http://yglesias.typepad.com/matthew/2005/03/open_rules.html

Senator Byrd Interviewed by Alan Colmes
Byrd is a joke. He had the nerve to have some staffer issue a statement to the effect that his boss wasn't a racist even during the time he was in the KKK. I can accept a lot, but that was too much. How stupid does he think we are? Like he joined for the nifty uniforms and intellectual stimulation? Right. :plain Its time for him to retire.

Laptop CPU Usage?
should the cpu usage be mantaining a certain percentage? it's switches to 6% to 11% and spikes a lot higher real quick then returns...? What tells you if your hardware is damaged..or any strange problems, by looking at your Task Manager? I mean i don't fully understand the Task Manager? 707408[/snapback] No. Usage changes according to load and internal priority. for example, if you wave a mouse pointer around on the screen quickly it will spike.
