    Me | Quatro de Mayo | Me
    Maybe we should be celebrating Cinco De May more like this: Whereas Batalla de Puebla (Cinco De Mayo, 1862) was inconsequential to its eventual fall to the French and to the ultimate fall of Mexico. And whereas "the Congress of the United States are unwilling, by silence, to leave the nations of the world under the impression that they are indifferent spectators of the deplorable events now transpiring in the Republic of Mexico; and they therefore think fit to declare that it does not accord with the policy of the United States to acknowledge a monarchical government, erected on the...

  • Trouble contributing on McCain's website?

    08/25/2008 2:11:49 PM PDT · by E-Mat · 18 replies · 168+ views
    For some reason we're having trouble contributing on McCain's website. I think it's because we're not sure John McCain will pick a pro-life running mate. We won't contribute to or even put on a bumper sticker for a pro-abortion candidate, ever. A strong stance against all illegal immigration will be a factor also.Illegal Immigration KillsIllegal Immigration Costs I'd like to say that giving up on idiotic climate change would be a major factor also, but addressing two out three of our concerns isn't too bad. Let's just say that McCain's bizarre and expensive desire to affect climate makes it difficult...

    Yes on 98 & No on 99 (For 98, though, I need to point out that raising rent when mobile homes change ownership in existing rent control cities is a taking of property from the seller of the mobile home, because the change of law would drastically reduce their property values. It's not a taking of the land owners' property, because the land was sold and bought in a rent control market. 98 would hurt me and a lot of people I know, but I'm aiming for a greater good and hoping that this law's flaw can be corrected in...
  • Recent HD DVD sales grind to a virtual halt

    ComputerWorld ^ | January 25, 2008 | Thomas K. Arnold
    Warner Home Video's defection from the HD DVD camp may have put a damper on hardware sales (see " Warner's Blu-ray Disc move has industry buzzing"). In the week since the studio's surprise early-January announcement that after May it will support only the rival Blu-ray Disc format, sales of HD DVD players ground to a virtual halt, giving Blu-ray hardware a whopping 93% sales advantage, according to data from the NPD Group. According to raw retail data collected by NPD, consumers bought just 1,758 HD DVD players the week of January 12, down from 14,558 players the week before. In...

    ...For Europe as a whole, about 200,000 people die from excess heat each year. However, about 1.5 million Europeans die annually from excess cold. That is more than seven times the total number of heat deaths. Just in the past decade, Europe has lost about 15 million people to the cold, more than 400 times the iconic heat deaths from 2003. That we so easily neglect these deaths and so easily embrace those caused by global warming tells us of a breakdown in our sense of proportion. How will heat and cold deaths change over the coming century with global...

    ... With a focus on holding power and playing politics rather than delivering on conservative values and legislation, the Republican Party has seen itself swept from control of the U.S. House and Senate. Now, all that remains for the Democrats is the White House and a filibuster-proof Senate -- both of which are within reach. Conservatives must eventually come together and get a clue! There is too much at stake. ... Will I vote for former Mayor Rudy Giuliani over Hillary Clinton? Yes! ... When the dust settles, one will emerge as the Republican nominee. I will support that nominee....

    Los Angeles Times ^ | August 29 2007 | David Lazarus
    It's the end of time, at least as far as AT&T is concerned. The brief note in customers' bills hardly does justice to the momentousness of the decision. "Service withdrawal," it blandly declares. "Effective September 2007, Time of Day information service will be discontinued." What that means is that people throughout Southern California will no longer be able to call 853-1212 to hear a woman's recorded voice state that "at the tone, Pacific Daylight Time will be . . ." with the recording automatically updating at 10-second intervals. "Times change," said John Britton, an AT&T spokesman. "In today's world, there...

    Action Center May 08, 2007 Radio talk show hosts John & Ken on KFI-640 AM in Los Angeles (http://www.johnandkenshow.com) are organizing a campaign to get U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) 30,000 phone calls opposing the illegal alien amnesty legislation being debated in the Senate currently (S. 1348). Feinstein has indicated that she would require 30,000 phone calls before she feels that "something is really going on" -- (see Washington Times article below).   Feinstein is one of those senators who can carry other senators with her - her switch to oppose the amnesty would likely persuade enough other senators to do...
