Back From Jail and Blowing Smoke

Posted by Juicio on October 16th, 2005

Big news of the day is the New York Times’ articles on Judith Miller. Here is the Times’ take on her role in the Plamegate affair and here is Miller’s article.
I really have little to say about either. To me, it seems like it’s one issue to protect a whistle blowing source who [...]

Hell Yeah, McCain, Hell Yeah

Posted by Juicio on October 6th, 2005

Senator McCain’s anti-torture amendment passed the senate in a 90-9 vote today!
Hell yeah, McCain!

In a July 25th press briefing, a reporter [...]

Billy and the Blogs

Posted by Juicio on October 5th, 2005

This is hilarious. Last night on his show, Bill O’Reilly slammed blogs, even going so far as calling them assassins. Here is the video (again thanks to C&L for hosting the bandwidth).
The reason why I find it so funny is that Bill has the worst inconsistencies of any major media personality that [...]

Funny Money

Posted by Juicio on October 5th, 2005

Yep, here it is. The new ten dollar bill:

And, yes, it’s orange. Personally, I always like the fact that all of our money was the same color. It kinda set us apart from most other countries. Granted, it was kinda boring, but it was our boring money. Apparently, this new [...]

From Introvert Advantage, a site dedicated to the book “The Introvert Advantage: How to Thrive in an Extrovert World”, here they are:

Hurricane Katrina Relief

Posted by Juicio on September 2nd, 2005

Tomorrow, I leave for Florida with Rachel to spend a vacation in Disney World. It feels very weird thinking that I am headed to the ‘happiest place on earth’ while knowing the devastation in New Orleans. The descriptions coming from inside the area are hellish at best. One man who is in [...]
